The five-year-old has not had the rub of the green since moving to the North Yorkshire handler from Robert Cowell’s stable.

He may have won first time out for Midgley at Wolverhampton in February but has been unlucky not to add to that success.

Magnolia Springs can give in-form Eve Johnson Houghton another big-race triumph in the Stobart Energy Hoppings Fillies’ Stakes.

Sharja Silk has been getting better when tackling longer distances and the extended mile and three-quarters for the Britvic Handicap at Doncaster looks right up his street.

Mazzini was just touched off by Spanish City back up to seven furlongs at Doncaster last time out but can go one better in the Moughton Engineering Handicap at Yarmouth.

Pippin can take another successful step up in grade in the Fly London Southend Airport To Prague Handicap at Newmarket.
