Parti can be on at Ayr for its backers

Juge Et Parti can record a second win from three starts since joining James Ewart's stable with victory at Ayr tomorrow.

Formerly with Archie Watson, the seven-year-old struck first time for new connections when justifying favouritism at Perth in July and ran respectably when third at Carlisle seven weeks ago on his only start since.

Everything points to him playing a leading role once more in the Funky's 20th Anniversary Handicap Chase.

Spark Of Madness ran out a game winner over this two miles four weeks ago and looks good to go in again in the Western House Hotel Hogmanay Ball Conditional Jockeys' Handicap Hurdle.

The five-year-old, trained by Lucinda Russell, made virtually all the running and had enough left to hold Sarvi by half a length after going several lengths clear before the final flight.

The handicapper raised him 5lb for that – but he is still 2lb below his highest rating to date and could have room for more improvement.

Foster'sisland can complete a hat-trick in the Book Coral Scottish Grand National Now Handicap Hurdle.

After wins on this course and at Kelso, Micky Hammond's six-year-old has gone up a total of 13lb, although he has looked a much-improved performer since returning for a winter campaign after six months off.

A step up in trip can see Full Of Light open his account in the Ashes 50% Moneyback With Hollywoodbets Handicap Hurdle at Plumpton.

Nicky Henderson's Irish import has put in good late work to take second place over two miles at Ludlow at Uttoxeter on his two runs over the smaller obstacles so far.

He has looked to be crying out to go further and this extended two and a half miles can bring out improvement.

Sacre Coeur looked a winner in waiting when fin ishing runner-up last time and can prove the point by going one better in the In Memory Of Susan Corrigan Mares' Handicap Hurdle.

Kaboo can continue winning ways at Newcastle.

Held in high regard by the Karl Burke team, he in fact made his debut in the Windsor Castle at Royal Ascot – running an excellent race to be a close-up sixth.

A couple of reverses followed, albeit in good company, before he got off the mark with an ultimately decisive success at Wolverhampton in September.

This five-furlong novice event is not a bad race, with a couple of potential lurkers in the field, but equally if he is the horse connections thought he was then he should be winning.

David O'Meara can strike with six-year-old Star Shield in the one-mile handicap, despite a 2lb rise.
