Maria Antonia, successful at Catterick on Saturday, turns out again at Brighton tomorrow and is napped to follow up.

Paul Blockley's charge is actually aiming for a hat-trick, having started her winning run with a victory at Leicester a couple of weeks ago.

Clearly an improver, her latest success was gained in workmanlike fashion in an apprentices' handicap over a mile-and-a-half, the same distance she tackles tomorrow.

Maria Antonia, a daughter of King's Best, may have more to offer, and, with Kevin Ghunowa again in the saddle, she is selected to oblige once more in the Sporting Index Apprentice Handicap.

Whazzis is taken to get punters off to a good start in the Final Median Auction Maiden Stakes.

The William Haggas-trained juvenile has run well in all her three starts, most notably when finishing fourth in a valuable sales race at Ascot. She chased home Ekhtiaar on the sand at Lingfield last time out, and that useful winner has since gone on to win again in smart company.

Whazzis should find opportunity knocking this time.

The Sporting Index Nursery over seven furlongs looks a good opportunity for Shebang to follow up her recent course win.

That success came over six furlongs, and she was never headed before beating Straight Face by two-and-a-half lengths. This longer distance should not trouble Mick Quinlan's filly, who is selected to double her score.

Hunting Tower can make it third time lucky in the European Breeders' Fund Maiden Stakes.

Richard Hannon's colt has finished third on both his outings so far, his latest effort coming at Sandown behind Big Robert and Regal Flush. That was his first run since June and he can be expected to improve once more. This step up to a mile should be ideal for him.

The evergreen Summer Bounty (4.30) and Border Edge (5.30), a previous winner on this course, are two others to note at Brighton.

Over the jumps at Haydock, Sheriff Hutton trainer Tim Walford may have found an ideal opportunity for Wee William in the Harvey Jones Handicap Chase.

Wee William was a respectable second to Hehasalife at Bangor last month on his first outing since his summer break.

Sure to be all the better for that race, he can go one better here for Walford, who sent out St Wilfrid to score at Uttoxeter last week.

Also worthy of attention at the Lancashire course is de Soto (3.40), a top-notch bumper horse, who looks sure to make a big name for himself over hurdles this season.
