Beverly, Brighton and Warwick this afternoon

Three flat meetings this afternoon, but very little good quality racing. The 3yo mile handicap at 16.50 CET at Warwick is arguably the best race of the afternoon. Mirrored (Sir Michael Stoute/ Ryan Moore), Mister Dee Bee (Barry and Michael Hills) and Maxwell Hawk (Peter Chapple-Hyam/ Alan Munro) have all won their only start in 2009 and look capable of further improvement; they should have the race between them. Stoute and Moore also have a chance in the maiden race half an hour later witheStandpoint, twice runner-up, but in theory Brian Meehan´s Roman Glory (Jamie Spencer) can hardly lose this; he finished last season by running 6th of 15 to stable companion Crowned House in the Group One Racing Post Trophy.

At Beverley, trainer Richard Fahy and jockjey Paul Hanagan look the team to follow; they can win the 3yo maiden at 15.30 with Dr. Jameson, who looks overdue for a win, and the 3yo handicap at 17.00 with top-weight High Office, and although this is a very open event, also have good prospects in the mile handicap at 16.30 with Handsome Falcon. There are a couple of well-bred newcomers in the 6 furlongs maiden that opens Brighton´s card at 15.10, but on public form Celestial Dream (Andrew Balding/ William Buick), who showed promise on both starts last year, must be the choice. The seller at 16.10 looks between Spit and Polish (John Dunlop/Jimmy Quinn) and Bromhead (Brian Meehan/ Seb Sanders), who have both been racing on the all-weather.
