Nichol Fifty, who missed the cut for the Tote Ebor by one, can gain compensation in the Sunley Stakes at Sandown today.

Trainer Mark Tompkins must have been cursing his luck when Benatom was taken out on the morning of the race.

However, Nichol Fifty would have been a big outsider in Europe's richest handicap won by Vicious Circle whereas he will be one of the favourites and rightly so for this Class D handicap.

Unplaced in two valuable handicaps this season, the Tote Chester Cup and the Foster's Lager Northumberland Plate, the five-year-old gelding is much better in this grade as he showed when lifting a 17-runner event at Nottingham in April and minor event at Kempton in June.

Selfish, given a brilliant ride by Kieren Fallon to win a Listed race at Glorious Goodwood, can take the Ford Atalanta Stakes in the hands of Willie Ryan.

Wannabe Grand looked like collecting until Selfish swooped late under a whirlwind finish to snatch the spoils by a head.

At the age of five, Selfish is clearly in the form of her life and her trainer Henry Cecil would every reason to stick the mare in a Group race should she see off more younger rivals.

Westender showed that his surprise victory over the odds-on Manchuria in a four-horse affair at Yarmouth was no fluke when running the progressive Casimir to two lengths in a Ascot handicap.

William Haggas' lightly-raced three-year-old can regain winning ways in the day's Showcase Handicap, the William Hill Stakes.

The Glow-Worm was denied an attractive engagement at Haydock when last Sunday's meeting was washed-out.
