Mary Reveley can maintain her winning run by notching a double with Roveretto and Harfdecent at Musselburgh today.

Mary Reveley can maintain her winning run by notching a double with Roveretto and Harfdecent at Musselburgh today.

An across-the-card treble on Monday keeps the trainer firmly on course to beat her personal best total of 104 winners, set last season.

And she will travel north from her Saltburn base with justifiably high hopes of adding further to the tally.

Roveretto can provide a perfect example of his trainer's skill by lifting the "Showcase Handicap" Tote Bookmakers Hurdle.

Reveley nursed the progressive four-year-old back to health after he broke his pelvis last season and was rewarded when the gelding ran away with a maiden hurdle on this track a fortnight ago.

Her charge remains open to considerable improvement, particularly now that he steps up to three miles, and looks favourably weighted with just 10 st 13 lb to carry.

Harfdecent can collect the £10,000-added Col. W.L.M. Monteith Handicap Chase, which has not attracted a field worthy of its prize.

He need only reproduce the form he showed when second at Kelso last time to be hard to beat.

Stable-companions Supreme Fortune and Lord Lamb could add wins at Haydock Park, in the EBF Racing Channel Live From Haydock Park `National Hunt' Novices' Hurdle and Racing Channel Available On Telewest Handicap Hurdle respectively.

But star of the show at the Merseyside track is likely to be Lady Cricket.

Tony McCoy nominated the mare as his most likely chance of success over Christmas and his mount should live up to her billing in the Racing Channel Available In Pubs And Clubs Novices' Chase.

Lady Cricket was a smart hurdler and looks set to prove every bit as a good over fences.

She was an impressive winner on her chasing debut at Chepstow last month and scored by fully a distance at Cheltenham last time out.

And there was little disgrace in defeat at Newbury in between as she was conceding weight to the highly-regarded Lord Noelie.

Bodfari Quarry can complete a quick "full-house" of all-weather wins in the Happy New Year Everyone Handicap at Lingfield.

The Barry Hills-trained filly has scored twice at Wolverhampton this autumn and made a successful debut at Southwell a fortnight ago.

She put up a fine effort to beat in-form Quintrell Downs by two lengths last time out and looks to remain a step ahead of the handicapper.
