NORTH Yorkshire jockey Joe Fanning, who recently celebrated his 2,000th career win, heads to Wolverhampton today with good prospects of a double.

Fanning, who is attached to the Middleham stables of Mark Johnston, is fancied to score on Moon Eyes and Yorkindred Spirit.

Trained by William Haggas, Moon Eyes has proved frustrating to follow this season. She has been placed in all but one of her races, yet is still seeking her first success.

The 32Red Maiden Fillies' Stakes offers the three-year-old probably her best-ever chance of opening her winning account. She can finally find opportunity knocking.

Fanning, who has bagged 125 winners since the beginning of January, can also capture the second division of the Coral Handicap on Yorkindred Spirit, trained by Johnston.

Second at Lingfield last month over ten furlongs, Yorkindred Spirit is likely to appreciate this return to a mile and a half having scored over this course and distance in September.

Richard Fahey and Tony Hamilton can also figure on the Wolverhampton scoreboard with Jan Van Hoof in the Ladbrokes Handicap.

A course winner last season from only two previous all-weather starts, Jan Van Hoof finished a creditable second to Popeswood at Newmarket on his latest outing over this distance of seven furlongs. He is nicely berthed in stall three and although he has to concede weight all round, the Malton gelding is entitled to be on the premises.

Archipeligo gets the vote in the second leg of the Coral Handicap.

The mount of teenage apprentice Kyle Currie, Archipeligo has since finished a good second to Nolecce at this venue, where he has two course and distance wins to his credit. Trained by Iain Jardine, he should should make a bold bid and is awarded the nap vote.

Also worth noting at the Dunstall Park course are the in-form Royal Pearl (2.25) and Rum Swizzle (2.55), a winner at Windsor last month and a previous all-weather scorer.

Over the sticks at Leicester, Stephanie Frances takes the eye in the John O'Gaunt Beginners' Chase.

Pulled out of a listed hurdle race at Wetherby at the end of last month when the ground turned soft, Stephanie Frances, trained by Dan Skelton, now switches to fences.

She notched wins at Ludlow and Cheltenham last season and is a useful mare. Stephanie Frances receives the mares' allowance in this four-runner event and her chances of making a winning debut over fences will be aided as a result.

Harry Fry, who was among the winners at Cheltenham yesterday, has an interesting runner in the opening Ashby Magna Juvenile Fillies' Hurdle.

Fry saddles New Vennture, who is making her British debut. She showed a reasonable level of ability in three outings over hurdles in France in March and April and that experience will stand her in good stead in this field.

Richard Johnson teams-up with the Jonjo O'Neill-trained Playing The Field in the Katherine Swynford Handicap Chase and a winning effort is on the cards.

Trained by Jonjo O'Neill, the ten-year-old won both his races last season at Worcester and Towcester. He may well have needed his comeback outing last month when returning to Worcester and finishing fourth to Muckle Roe, beaten a dozen lengths, but only weakening at the final fence.

Playing The Field should last longer this time and is expected to go well.

Johnson, going a terrific pace at the head of the jockeys' championship, can also win on Theligny in the Burton Overy Novices' Hurdle.

Tim Vaughan's four-year-old was beaten only a length into second place Plumpton on his hurdling bow four weeks ago. The experience gained that day will not have been wasted on him and he is taken to go one better.

Rob McCarth's 3lb claim should aid the chances of Watt Broderick in the H.A.C. Pipeline Supplies Handicap Hurdle.

The six-year-old, trained by Ian Williams, won at Ludlow last month and has since been raised 5lb. McCarth's allowance helps to erase much of that extra burden and gives Watt Broderick every chance of following-up.
