Robert Winston heads to Carlisle tomorrow with a handful of fancied mounts and good prospects of achieving a notable career milestone.

The star young rider, who is attached to the Butterwick yard of Richard Fahey, is just one winner away from his maiden century.

Bollin Ann gives Winston, the season's leading apprentice, a good chance of hitting the ton in the featured £10,000 Tote 70th Anniversary Showcase Handicap over five furlongs.

A winner over this trip at Beverley three outings ago, Bollin Ann shaped well over the same course and distance last time when she was beaten just over a length into third by the in-form Goretski.

Tim Easterby's filly can get back in the winning groove in this wide-open event.

Winston and Easterby also team-up with Dancing Em in the J Noble Promotions Car Boot Fair Fillies' Handicap.

A course winner, Dancing Em has proved pretty consistent this summer and was only narrowly beaten by Melodian over seven furlongs at Catterick last time.

Tomorrow's stiff mile will suit Dancing Em much better and the Great Habton three-year-old is awarded the nap vote.

Winston has yet another winning chance aboard Shaanxi Romance in the seven furlongs BBC Radio Cumbria Classified Stakes.

A winner over this course and distance two outings ago, Shaanxi Romance has since run well over a mile in a competitive handicap at Ayr. Trained by Ian Semple, whose horses are in excellent form at present, Shaanxi Romance is selected to get back in the winning groove here.

The Stagecoach Cumberland Maiden Stakes over an extended two miles will not take a great deal of winning and Salvage from the Bill Haigh stable looks the one to be on.

The four-year-old made the odds-on Pay The Pied Piper pull out all the stops at Catterick last time and a reproduction of that form over this slightly longer distance would be enough to take the honours. Fergal Lynch again has the mount.

At Lingfield, a note should be made of Ocean Park in the Sponsor A Race For Christmas Handicap.

Lightly-raced this season, Ocean Park, trained by Lady Herries, has shown a decent level of form. A winner over this course and distance two outings ago, he made a bold bid for an encore on his latest start, but just failed to concede 10lb to Indigo Bay. Tony Clark again takes the mount.

It is some time since Scissor Ridge was last in the winners' enclosure, but the seven-year-old deserves some respect in the Eat In The Trackside Carvery Handicap.

A former winner over this course and distance, Scissor Ridge was far from disgraced over an inadequate six furlongs here last time.

Tomorrow's extra furlong should be more to his liking and he will receive every assistance from smart apprentice Alan Daly.
