NIGHT Haven is clearly on good terms with herself and looks the pick to land the competitive Coral Europbet Sprint (Showcase Handicap) over six furlongs of the Rowley Mile at Newmarket tomorrow.
Michael Bell's charge was an impressive winner at Leicester on Tuesday beating Appelation and although she is saddled with a five pounds penalty for that two and a half lengths success she has the ability to follow up.
The Night Shift filly loves to hear her feet rattle according to her trainer who admitted he was surprised by her previous success at Salisbury given that the ground was good to soft.
On that occasion jockey Tony Beech got a sustained late run out of his mount to deny Hata by half a length.
Night Haven is clearly a filly in form and the old maxim of following such an animal should count here as she bids for a hat-trick and an unbeaten run this season.
Newmarket also stages Listed fare with the running of the Milcars King Charles II Stakes and victory in this seven furlong event can go to another on a roll in the shape of Reel Buddy.
Richard Hannon's charge finished third on his seasonal bow but has been undefeated on two occasions since then.
This seven furlong specialist has a course and distance success to his credit and he showed he is still in sparkling form with a one and a half length verdict over Baccura at Goodwood last week.
That is form which if repeated here, and there is no reason why it should not be, can result in a third success for the Mr Greeley colt.
Windsor's new three day Festival meeting gets underway tomorrow and the highlight of the opening day should be the Tote Scoop6 Leisure Stakes and victory could go to Tamarisk.
Roger Charlton's charge has spent the last three year's in the wilderness during which he spent time over in America under the wing of Wayne Lukas before attempting a career at stud.
Neither agreed with this Group One winner and he returned to his former trainer earlier in the year.
Tamarisk's first outing this year saw him finish fourth at Goodwood last week and he can land this furlong event on route to Royal Ascot where his trainer is aiming him at the Cork and Orrery or the King's Stand Stakes.
It is not often Musselburgh stages a £30,000 event but that is the case tomorrow and the shame is that the Ductform Ventilation Scottish Sprint Cup (Handicap) will not be seen on terrestrial television.
A useful field is expected to congregate at the Scottish track and victory can go to Zuhair.
Dandy Nicholls' charge looked a trifle unlucky at Goodwood last week when a fast finishing fourth to Seven No Trumps after meeting trouble in running.
On a handy mark, Zuhair can strike here for the Thirsk trainer.
