Patricia Philomena, a winner at Redcar last month, is napped to double her score on the seaside course on Sunday.

The David Barron-trained mare suffered a defeat at Thirsk on her latest outing, but that race was over an inadequate 12 furlongs and tomorrow's step up to two miles for the Car Boot Fairs Handicap should be ideal for Dominic Fox's mount.

Impressive when gaining her previous success here over one and three-quarter miles, Patricia Philomena boasts staying power as her forte. This modest event looks a perfect opportunity for her to regain the winning thread.

From the stayers to the sprinters, and the goracing.co.uk Handicap over one of the fastest five-furlong courses in Britain puts the emphasis firmly on speed.

Musical Fair lacks nothing in scorching pace, as she showed when winning at Warwick two outings ago. Just worn down over six furlongs at Carlisle last time, Jeremy Glover's three-year-old will benefit from this shorter trip.

Ryedale apprentice David Allan, excellent value for his 3lb allowance, takes the mount.

Haulage Man, who had no chance from the draw in the Carlisle Bell last time, has less on his plate in the Sunday Apprentice Handicap, while Beverley winner Nevada Desert should not be left out of the equation in the tricky-looking Pirate Ship Showcase Handicap, a £30,000 event, which is the highlight of the Redcar meeting.

The latest round of the Mail On Sunday/Tote Mile Handicap qualifiers takes pride of place at Brighton, and College Rock may be able to take advantage.

Tony Newcombe's charge has finished in the frame in both his starts this season and should now be cherry-ripe.

The promising Fools Entire, trained by Mick Channon, can fulfill initial promise and get punters off to a good start in the Southern FM Maiden Auction Stakes, while Colourful Lady would be a popular winner of the peterharrisracing.co.uk Handicap.

The talented three-year-old is trained by the man who sponsors the race.

Over the sticks at Market Rasen, the entire meeting is sponsored by local bookmaker Don Noble.

Jollyolly, winner of two of his three starts this term, will be a tough nut to crack under Richard Johnson in the novices' hurdle, while Richard Guest, rider and trainer of Ceresfield, looks to have found a suitable opportunity for his consistent performer to gain an overdue success in the handicap chase.

Trading Trouble failed to complete with rider intact last time out, but Malcoln Jefferson's gelding is worth another chance in the two-and-a-half miles novices' chase.
