Golden Dice can shake up his five rivals and land the Holme Pierrepoint Stakes at Nottingham today. Henry Cecil's Diesis colt finished a length-and-a-quarter second of six to race-fit Speedfit Too on his seasonal debut in a Kempton Listed event last month.

As a juvenile Golden Dice performed with credit against more than useful opposition, including Mutamam and Gulland who both opposed High-Rise in Saturday's Vodafone Derby.

Golden Dice showed that he is a battler when recording his only victory as a two-year-old in a Newcastle maiden last August, getting the better of a protracted struggle with Khalas by a short-head.

Mungo Park seems to have got his act together this term, with victories at Newcastle and Beverley to his credit. He can benefit from stable-jockey Jimmy Fortune's strong handling to land the Stanley Grand Casino Handicap.

At Pontefract, Foist can equal his victory total of last season by landing the Tavern Group Handicap.

Mick Easterby's charge cobbled together a quick treble in 1997 and almost repeated the feat last month after two victories inside 24 hours at Hamilton and Warwick.

The six-year-old then failed to land the hat-trick on ground firmer than suitable at Nottingham, finishing fifth under a 7lb penalty behind Double March.

But, given a month off by his trainer, Foist is a tentative choice in this competitive six-furlong dash.

The Michael Stoute-trained Godabi produced an eye-catching performance when landing a Salisbury maiden on her racecourse debut. That success will have brought her on and she can double up with victory in Windsor's Ariston Classic Stakes.
