ALDWYCH can emerge as a serious contender for the Vodafone Derby with victory in the aptly-named Tattenham Corner Classified Stakes at Bath tomorrow.
The Roger Charlton-trained son of In The Wings is currently a 25-1 chance with William Hill for the Epsom Classic.
The colt earned his prominent position in the Derby betting with an impressive display at Newbury last October on only his second start.
Stepping up considerably on an unplaced effort on his debut, Aldwych hit the front approaching the final furlong before shooting clear to record a cosy two-and-a-half-length success over Black Knight.
Aldwych is a strong, lengthy colt with the scope to develop into a high-class performer and he appears to hold too many guns for his rivals in tomorrow's Stanley Bristol Casino-sponsored event.
Star Cast can make a winning reappearance in the Tote totalbet.com Fillies' (Showcase Handicap).
She won the first two of her three outings last season before finishing a five-length third to Romantic Affair in a well-contested handicap at Salisbury in July.
Judged on that performance Star Cast will take all the beating tomorrow if none the worse for her long absence from the track.
Three-year-olds often struggle against their elders at this time of year but one who can buck the trend is the speedy Misty Eyed in the European Breeders Fund Lansdown Fillies' Stakes over five furlongs.
Last term Nerys Dutfield's grey won the Molecomb Stakes at Goodwood andfinished second to the very fast Superstar Leo in the Flying Childers Stakes at Doncaster in September.
Misty Eyed was retained by connections for 140,000 guineas in December and she can repay their faith by landing tomorrow's Listed contest on her way to better things.
At Nottingham it is worth taking a chance with Alan Berry's newcomer Marion Haste in the Harby Novice Median Auction Stakes.
Marion Haste has been reported to be working really well with Berry's previous two-year-old winners this season and the juvenile filly can oblige at the first time of asking.
Mary Reveley's runners are always worth following at Huntingdon and the Saltburn trainer can strike with Highbank in the Phoney Pony Handicap Hurdle at Huntingdon.
