A quick follow up for Mack The Knife
Mack The Knife opened his account with such authority last week that a follow up looks on the cards in the Join Racing TV Now Classified Stakes at Kempton tomorrow.
James Ferguson' s five-year old was having only his sixth start when he blitzed the field at Wolverhampton.
It may only have been a moderate contest, but the Australia gelding could not have done it any better and he should have plenty of scope for improvement.
The step up to a mile and a half obviously suited and connections could have plenty of fun with him.
Diligent Harry should take a bit of stopping in the Unibet New Instant Roulette Novice Stakes.
The Clive Cox-trained youngster was a short price first time up at Wolverhampton last month and justified those odds with quite a taking success from 11-10 market leader Batraan, who came out to win subsequently.
Cox' s charge will have learnt a bit from that, too.

Julie Camacho's team has started to get going again and Chosen World can prove the point by taking in the Bombardier Handicap at Newcastle.

The five-year-old mare, trained by Stuart Edmunds, was dominant at Newbury when scoring by four and a half lengths. She found more when pressed by Miss Heritage from the second-last flight and pulled away on the run-in.

Sigurd can continue his winning run in the Racing Post Gonorth Weekend 2022 March Handicap Chase at Carlisle.
Joanne Foster's gelding has had a little break since notching up two victories at Catterick. His latest success was by 39 lengths.
Skipper Stuart Hogg has vowed there will be no repeat of the in-discipline that cost Scotland dear against Wales.
Gregor Townsend's team conceded a mere six penalties as they recorded their first victory at Twickenham in 37 years in their championship opener last week.
But they almost doubled that tally against the Welsh, allowing Wayne Pivac's visitors to Murrayfield far too many opportunities to apply pressure.
Zander Fagerson was also sent off for a dangerous ruck clear out and the Dragons ruthlessly exploited the extra space, with young star Louis Rees-Zammit scoring a breath-taking brace to seal a 25-24 win.
Scotland should have been out of sight before Wales hit back, however. Two tries to the good following scores from Darcy Graham and Hogg, Gary Graham wrecked a promising bid for a third when he got caught on top of the ball.
His chance to make amends as he crossed over just after half-time was then scuppered by Scott Cummings, who was pinged for obstruction.
