Promising young jockey Ian Mongan can land the biggest win of his career to date on Stoppes Browe in the Tote Bookmakers Spring Cup at Newbury tomorrow.
The 21-year-old is no stranger to success, having taken the amateurs' championship on the all-weather in the winter.
He has kept up the winning habit since turning professional this year and is among the early leaders in the battle for the apprentices' title on turf. Soft going tomorrow will bring his stamina fully into play.
Soft ground will hold no terrors for Fairy Godmother in the preceding Group Three Watership Down Stud John Porter Stakes.
The Queen's filly coped well with a similar surface here last year, when she won each of her two starts in good style.
In the absence of 2,000 Guineas favourite Distant Music - pulled out by Barry Hills - the Lane's End Greenham Stakes may be best left to Umistim.
Race Leader looks best in the Stanley Racing Thirsk Classic Trial. The impressive Newmarket maiden-winner should be more than good enough to land this listed contest.
