DOUBLE: Forever's Girl and Parhelion.

Forever's Girl is a confident pick to land the Sponsor A Race By Calling 01902 390000 Handicap at Wolverhampton.

Geoff Oldroyd's filly, three times a course winner at Dunstall Park, caught the eye on her return from a break when a close-up fifth in what turned out to be a decent event at Southwell last month, with the winner since going in again.

Running in the familiar colours of Reg Bond, she took a little while to hit top gear before running on at the end and should be all the sharper for the outing.

Parhelion will have learned plenty from his debut fifth at Lingfield and is fully expected to show the benefit in The Black Country's Only Racecourse Median Auction Maiden Stakes.

Mark Johnston's runners can generally be relied upon to improve from their first to run to their second, and, in any case, this son of Fantastic Light was not disgraced in fifth as he was keeping on nicely at the death once the penny started to drop.

Johnston can initiate a double in the Hotel & Conferencing At Wolverhampton Handicap with Gargano, who bumped into a decidedly smart one for this level in the shape of Spruce last time out.

Apart from one below-par run, Turf Time has been a model of consistency on the all-weather of late and only needs things to fall his way to play a leading role once again in the Great Offers At wolverhampton-racecourse.co.uk Handicap.

Smarties Party was the subject of strong support here last week, only to find one too good.

Similar market confidence in the Name A Race To Enhance Your Brand Handicap would be interesting.

Lush Life is the best bet on Sandown's card.

Nicky Henderson's five-year-old will no doubt have a bright future over fences in time but that did not stop him flooring Supreme Novices' Hurdle fancy Menorah at Ascot last month.

He finished like a train that day and it is hard to see anything bettering him in the Charles Stanley "National Hunt" Novices' Hurdle.

Mister Chancer has done enough in two runs so far to suggest Wincanton's Higos Insurance Wells Maiden Open National Hunt Flat Race is his for the taking, while Predateur can send Leicester punters home happy by landing the concluding Thrusters Hunters' Chase.
