CHARLES BOOTH, without a winner so far this season, is fancied to break his duck tomorrow.

The trainer based at Foston between York and Malton, sends Palmstead Belle on the long journey to Chepstow, and the hint should be taken.

Palmstead Belle goes for the five-furlong Entertain At Chepstow Handicap and boasts a solid chance in the hands of Rickey Mullen.

The speedy three-year-old failed to cut much ice on her reappearance at Chester last month when eighth of 12 to Kidology, but she was poorly drawn that day and did, in fact, run better than her finishing position might indicate.

It is significant that Booth is sending Palmstead Belle all the way to Chepstow tomorrow. She should not be underestimated.

Twin Logic gets the vote in the Castle Bingo Maiden Fillies' Stakes.

John Gosden's filly has shown ability in all her three starts and will not need to improve much on previous form to notch her first victory tomorrow.

The Jack Brown Bookmaker Handicap (Division Two) looks a tricky race for punters to solve, but James Dee should give backers a good run for their money.

The four-year-old, trained by Alan Jarvis, is overdue a win, having finished second in four of his last five starts.

Narrowly beaten by Beyond Calculation at Nottingham last time, James Dee can step up on that performance here in the hands of Jimmy Fortune.

At Haydock, Robzelda has good prospects in the £10,000 Tote Placepot Showcase.

From the in-form Hambleton stable of Kevin Ryan, this ex-Irish four-year-old finished a creditable fourth in the Zetland Gold Cup at Redcar on his latest outing.

Lago Di Varano can clinch the Dean Moor Handicap for Richard Whitaker.

The eight-year-old has been knocking on the door recently and has run well in his last two races at Thirsk and Doncaster. Opportunity could come knocking for him tomorrow.

Cryfield is expected to defy a 6lb penalty in the Come Racing At Haydock Park Handicap.

Trained by Nigel Tinkler, whose horses have struck form recently, Cryfield scored in determined style at Redcar last week.

Tomorrow's nap vote is awarded to Polar Challenge, who turns out for the Didcot Classified Stakes at Newbury's evening meeting.

Sir Michael Stoute's colt proved his winning turn was near at Chester last month when finishing third behind Nicobar and subsequent handicap winner Camberley in a hot contest.

Well suited by the conditions of tomorrow's race, Polar Challenge is napped to lose his maiden tag.

Also worth noting at Newbury is the back-to-form Wait For The Will (7.30) and the promising Cibenze (9.00).

Epsom bosses defied their critics yesterday and watered part of the track to ensure good going for the Vodafone Derby meeting, which starts on Friday.

Trainer Barry Hills had been one to criticize such a move, but about five millimetres of water was still applied to the home straight.
