ANN DUFFIELD'S decision to dispatch Ishibee (3.00) all the way from Constable Burton in Wensleydale to Brighton should once again pay dividends.

Duffield is never afraid to travel her horses, and Ishibee made the long journey to the Sussex coast a winning one when snapping up a weak course and distance affair in June.

Should the three-year-old collect as expected it's quite likely she'll be sold at the subsequent auction, however that's the chance you take when competing in races such as the Ian Carnaby Selling Stakes.

The stable's only other runner of the day, The Real Guru (6.30), heads off in the opposite direction to Musselburgh for a crack at the five-furlong Nursery.

There's stacks of speed in The Real Guru's pedigree, a point underlined by the fact the two-year-old had far too much pace for his rivals when romping to an easy Pontefract success.

Admittedly Royston French's mount has more on his plate this evening, but that's not to say he's not a progressive individual fully capable of defying top-weight.

Royston might additionally be on the mark with the Bryan Smart-trained Redwood Rocks (7.00), who makes plenty of appeal in the following Pinkie Mains Farm Handicap.

A high draw confers a significant advantage on the round track, which combined with the selection's natural predisposition to front run, should help the pair make all from stall 13.

Scarcroft, near Leeds, handler Richard Whitaker has his team in form, something punters need to bear in mind when Mister Jingles (8.00) swings down to post.

After a brace of victories, one of which was notched over track and trip, Mister Jingles looks suitably poised for the hat-trick in the hands of his regular rider, up-and-coming apprentice Michael J Stainton.

Another individual wired to the moon is Nottingham-bound Olimpo, bidding for a four-timer in the Handover Handicap.

The handicapper can't seem to keep tabs on Rod Millman's electric raider, who is due to be partnered by the west country trainer's son, James.

He is brilliant value for his 5lbs claim, an especially handy allowance since Olimpo (6.45) has a tough task with so much weight to shoulder in the mile-and-three-quarter test of stamina.

One Way Ticket's (8.15) record of either finishing first, second, or third, on 32 of his 68 career outings speaks volumes for the seven-year-olds' wonderful level of consistency. Throw into the melting pot the presence of reigning champion jockey Ryan Moore in the saddle, and you may well have found the solution to the closing John Smith's Handicap.
