John Quinn looks to have a promising type in Bigalothegigalo and the three-year-old can win the williamhill.co.uk Handicap over seven furlongs on day one of the Craven meeting at Newmarket.

This strapping sort got off the mark at the second time of asking at Catterick on his final outing of last year but left that form well behind on his first run in handicap company at Doncaster last month.

That day he looked all over the winner until lack of a recent outing told and he was caught in the closing stages by El Coto, who went on to run a blinder in defeat at Newbury last Friday.

My selection is open to stacks of improvement and, as the stalls are placed on the far side of the track, looks to have the best of the draw as he's in stall 16 of the 16 runners.

John Dunlop has his team in good order and his Khulood could be the one to be on in the Shadwell Stud Nell Gwyn Stakes over seven furlongs.

Following a below-par outing at Salisbury last September, the filly showed much-improved form when allowed to dominate over this course and distance in Listed company the following month.

There's every chance she'll be able to get her own way in front again and her rider is particularly effective when making the running.

She's taken to beat Sir Michael Stoute's Hector's Girl. Dunlop can be on the mark earlier in the card with Vision Of Night, who looks to have solid claims at the weights in the NGK Spark Plugs Abernant Stakes over six furlongs.

This consistent type goes well on a sound surface and when fresh, and is weighted to reverse Newcastle form in June with the evergreen Tedburrow on these much more favourable terms. Stoute, whose maidens are doing very well this term, can also get on the scoresheet courtesy of the well-bred newcomer

Sublimity in the Alex Scott Maiden over seven furlongs. At Folkestone it pays to be drawn high on the six-furlong course and David Nicholls' Boisdale, drawn 16 of 16, looks the one to be on in the Levy Board Apprentice Handicap over that trip.

Following an unproductive stint with James Toller, the five-year-old got off the mark at the second time of asking for his current yard on the sand at Southwell last time and he has the foot to make best use of his favourable draw.

Jamie Spencer is a good booking for Mick Quinn's Byo and the combination can be on the mark in the folkestone-racecourse.co.uk Classified Stakes over five furlongs.

The five-year-old has been in good form of late, has a good chance at the weights and is suited by the conditions. So he can make the most of his draw next to the stands rail.

Isa'af escapes a penalty for last week's Pontefract win and will be very hard to beat in a very ordinary race over the longer trip of the Westenhanger Handicap over two miles.

* Steve Drowne must have been wondering if he had made the right decision to head to Pontefract yesterday when his boss Mick Channon landed the first two races at Windsor, but all was well in the end as he went on to complete a 54-1 double.

Drowne brought Channon's Najeebon with a strong run to get up close home and beat Loyal Tycoon by a neck with Effervesce one and three-quarter lengths further away in third in the Tote Placepot Stakes (Showcase Handicap).

An hour later he sent Mobo-Baco to the front with a furlong to race in the Ladies In Red Classified Stakes.

The Ron Hodges-trained gelding strode away to beat Must Be Magic by four lengths.
