IT’S ALL ABOUT YOU posted a creditable third-placed finish over an inadequate 1m4f at Pontefract recently. This extra furlong may be enough for Jennie Candlish’s gelding to gain a first triumph of the season. Having stumbled at the start, Desert Quest shouldn’t be judged too harshly on his latest defeat at Musselburgh and previous performances make him a live contender. The class-dropping Ravenscraig Castle is another to bear in mind.

TODAY’S TRAINER TO WATCH - CHARLIE JOHNSTON
The Johnston horses have a history of hitting peak summer form when the ground is consistently on the quicker side and the stable struck in the finale here last Monday with improving 3 year-old Aviemore, owned by one of the prestigious Highclere Racing syndicates and ridden by Johnston stalwart, Franny Norton. The trainer went on too saddle an across the cards double at Newbury and Pontefract on Friday with Norton doing the pushing in Berkshire and the Yorkshire winner ridden by visiting Hong Kong jockey C Y Ho. The stable has 2 runners here today and 4 more spread equally between Beverley and Windsor tonight and next week’s Glorious Goodwood meeting could, once again, be a happy hunting ground.

Having improved to finish in third at Beverley earlier this month, the Bryan Smart-trained MANAGING DIRECTOR could be the answer. The Cotai Glory colt has displayed a decent level of form thus far and appears to have been found a good opportunity. Hammer The Hammer is entitled to come on for his Doncaster introduction, while the newcomers Strong Warrior and Lexington Blitz require a market check.

With recent solid form thin on the ground, this could prove a suitable opportunity for LA BOO to open her account. The Land Force filly only weakened away in the closing stages when finishing fourth at Redcar latest and a similar performance may prove sufficient. C&D scorer Pinpoint merits respect returning to the scene of his last victory, while the keen-going Zaphea also has the form to feature.

ETERNAL SUNSHINE has now won both starts over 6f having returned a ready winner here a fortnight ago. The ease of her latest success suggests a 6lb rise may not be enough to prevent Jim Goldie’s filly landing the hat-trick. Ramon Di Loria has been threatening a return to winning ways and found only one too good over C&D a week ago, while Novello Lad opened his account in this grade at Doncaster and is not out of it.

2ND
3RD 4TH TIME
CONCERT BOY gets another chance to record his first win on turf, racing off the same handicap mark as when second over C&D a week ago. He can confirm superiority with both Zachary and Onthebunny, but Drakeholes looks a big threat on his good form on the all-weather earlier in the year that included a victory at Newcastle. Pembrokeshire returns to this distance with a shout.

HELTER SKELTER was narrowly beaten when second at Hamilton in a first-time visor. The headgear remains in place and Rebecca Menzies’ four-year-old can finally lose his maiden tag. Hale End faced a tougher task at Carlisle latest having won at Thirsk before that, and he warrants respect back at this lower level, while Hey Lyla is only 2lb higher than when successful at Hamilton two starts back.
