Smart Predator, an impressive winner at York last month, can tomorrow win the richest race ever staged at Musselburgh.

The Ductform Ventilation Scottish Sprint Cup has £30,000 in added prize money and John Quinn's gelding can make his journey north from Ryedale well worthwhile by claiming the lion's share.

A much-improved horse in the last 12 months, Smart Predator beat a big field on Knavesmire without even having to be touched with the whip by Robert Winston, who takes the mount again tomorrow.

At his best over the minimum trip and on fast ground, Smart Predator has plenty going for him as he bids to hit the Scottish jackpot.

Dulcification should not be overlooked in the Bell's Maiden Stakes, also over five furlongs.

John Weymes' three-year-old has finished runner-up in both his outings this season, at Thirsk and Doncaster. Opportunity could come knocking for him this time.

Cosmic Case gets my vote in the Ductform Ventilation (UK) Handicap. The Jim Goldie-trained gelding came from out of the clouds to snatch a thrilling victory at Pontefract a week ago and is clearly in excellent form at present. He can follow-up under smart apprentice Keith Dalgleish.

The Sheraton Grand Cup has £12,000 up for grabs and Shadowblaster, fresh from a gutsy success at Haydock last Saturday, has strong claims. Micky Fenton has the mount on Ben Hanbury's Newmarket raider.

Yenaled goes well on this course and, although not the most reliable of customers, he deserves attention in the Sheraton Grand Terrace Classified Stakes.

The Coral Eurobet Sprint Handicap, worth £50,000, is the feature event at Newmarket and Night Haven has excellent prospects in the hands of useful apprentice Tony Beech.

Trainer Michael Bell won this race in 1998 with Magic Rainbow and Night Haven comes into battle in fine form, having won both her starts this season. A bold bid is anticipated.

In the Milcars King Charles II Stakes, keep a careful eye on my Nap selection Goggles as he aims to bounce back to winning form.

Henry Candy's smart performer ran a cracking race under 9st 6lb in a red-hot handicap at York last time and was beaten little more than three lengths into fifth place by the winner Needwood Blade. He can be more handsomely rewarded tomorrow.

Newmarket trainer Dave Morris and his son Paul can lift the opening Bollinger Champagne Amateur Rider Handicap with Missile Toe.

The eight-year-old, winner of his only race this season, is a pretty decent competitor at this level and looks sure to run a big race.

Kieren Fallon, struck with a crushing three-day ban at Ayr yesterday which rules him out of the Epsom Derby, can make his presence felt at his local meeting.

The triple champion jockey is expected to score on Carlys Quest in the Mix-It Classified Stakes.
