Mary Reveley never runs her horses out of their depth so the hint should be taken with Tees Components, who makes the long trip for the bluesq.com Queens Prize Showcase Handicap over two miles at Kempton this afternoon.

Although he's making his handicap debut and going up in grade today, the seven-year-old looks the only one in the field who is capable of considerably better form than he's shown so far.

This four-time bumper winner made a successful Flat debut on Lingfield's Polytrack surface in February, when staying on dourly to beat Lucky Man and subsequent winner Land Of Fantasy over a mile and a half.

The seven furlongs he was asked to compete over last time was a thoroughly insufficient test of stamina for him, but he was at least staying on dourly in the closing stages.

So the step up to two miles for the first time on the Flat looks sure to be in his favour and he looks a very interesting runner on ground that should be ideal in the hands of Kevin Darley.

The first of the Classic trials take place at the Sunbury-on-Thames venue and Halawellfin Hala looks an interesting runner in an ordinary renewal of the Easter Stakes at 3.35.

Clive Brittain's runner is the type to do well this year and, although he disappointed at Nad Al Sheba last time on dirt, he's well worth another chance on this surface and he can go well at decent odds.

The Blue Square Masaka Stakes for fillies looks a tricky event but Kootenay could give Gossamer's Guineas prospects a further boost by landing the spoils.

For John Dunlop's runner finished nearly nine lengths behind that rival at Goodwood in August and she meets nothing of that calibre this time.

My selection went on to show improved form in Italy on her next two outings and this course is well suited to her front-running style.

Brittain can also be on the mark with Muhareb, a progressive sort who holds strong claims in the mile-and-one-furlong handicap at 5.20.

He has shown progressive form this winter and this likely well-run contest should see him in a better light than the steadily-run one at Lingfield last time.

Over the sticks at Carlisle Solway Rose makes a fair bit of appeal in the Tote Handicap Chase over three-and-a-quarter miles.

Liz Harrison's mare was able to dominate when winning in good style at Ayr recently and it looks as though she will get her own way in front again.

That wasn't the case in a much better contest at Kelso recently, where she was taken on for the lead throughout and, if over those exertions, will be hard to peg back.

Kinfauns Lady should be suited by the return to two-and-a-half miles on this drying ground and gets the vote in the Currock Novices Handicap Hurdle.

The seven-year-old didn't get home over three miles on bad ground at Ayr last time but the two that finished in front of her that day have since won.

As she is only relatively lightly raced she could be worth chancing in this ordinary race and she's taken to beat Lord Jack, who would ideally prefer a stiffer test.

The two-and-a-half-mile handicap hurdle at 3.20 looks a wide open affair but the vote goes to John Wade's Devil's Run.

It was a shade disappointing that this hitherto progressive sort couldn't do a little better against exposed rivals at Ayr last time but there are less question marks about him than the rest of the field.

At Haydock, Len Lungo's Plutocrat looks sure to give a good account in the Tote Exacta Handicap Hurdle over two miles and six furlongs.

Although he hasn't been seen since December, he has gone well fresh before and he's still on a fair mark.

* Mark Pitman is hoping that his unconventional method of running his two Martell Grand National hopefuls, Smarty and Browjoshy, over hurdles will pay dividends at Aintree a week today.

Smarty, runner-up when he and winner Red Marauder were the only horses to complete without mishap, has had three runs in novice hurdles this season and two over fences, including when runner-up in the Tote Becher Chase over the National course.

He was partnered by Timmy Murphy last year but Tom Scudamore will be in the plate this time. And he rode Smarty in work on Wednesday.

Jim Culloty, who had his finest hour when winning the Tote Cheltenham Gold Cup on Best Mate this month, will take the ride on Browjoshy.

Browjoshy has tackled two staying handicap hurdles on his last two starts to try to rekindle his enthusiasm for the game.

''I'm very pleased with them. The preparation has gone very well with them both.

''The last week where you are in the run up to the race is obviously the most nerve-wracking. You've done the majority of the hard work and it should be just a case of giving them a couple of blows and get them there."

''Browjoshy is a super jumper. Jumping has always been one of his strengths. He's an out-and-out stayer and he's a massive price. But if he takes to it, I could easily see him running into a place.
