Graham Lee, who on Saturday bids to win the Grand National for the second successive year on Amberleigh House, travels to Sedgefield tomorrow with high hopes of figuring on the scoreboard.

Lee's best chance of success may come aboard Deja Vu, trained by Howard Johnson, in the St James Security Handicap Hurdle.

Twice a winner this season, Deja Vu was comfortably held in third place by Simlet on this course last time, but that race was over two miles and five furlongs and it is hoped that the step up to almost three-and-a-half miles tomorrow will bring about a return to winning form.

Tony Dobbin, another past winner of the Grand National and set to be aboard Just In Debt at Aintree on Saturday, rode two winners at Kelso yesterday and can add to his tally at Sedgefield.

The Cumbrian jockey teams-up with Leading Man in the totesport.com Novices' Hurdle and Ferdy Murphy's promising gelding is fancied to take all the beating if producing his best form.

Although it was slightly disappointing to see him well held in second by Mckelvey at Newcastle last time, Leading Man may not have stayed three miles on that occasion. It is interesting that Murphy has dropped him back three furlongs in trip tomorrow.

It's Music should not be overlooked in the John Smith's Extra Smooth Handicap Hurdle.

The gelding was having his first run for Brendan Powell when he won at Plumpton recently. Now into handicap company, It's Music can hit a high note once more with Timmy Murphy again booked for the ride.

On the Flat at Folkestone, Dandygrey Russett is napped to open her winning account in the Kent Messenger Classified Stakes over an extended nine furlongs.

Gary Moore's mare was backed down to favouritism at Lingfield last time, but could finish only fifth after possibly not quite relishing the step-up to a mile and a half.

Dropped back in trip tomorrow and switching from Polytrack to turf, Dandygrey Russett should be given the chance to atone. Ryan Moore, the trainer's jockey-son, who has spent the winter in Dubai, has the mount.

Frankie Dettori, the odds-on favourite to retain his champion jockeys' crown this season, underlines his appetite for winners by travelling to Folkestone in search of success.

The ultra-popular rider is unlikely to return home to Newmarket empty-handed. In the Kentish Express Maiden Fillies' Stakes, he has good prospects aboard Clive Brittain's Higher Love, who showed promise last season, while the speedy Morse, trained by Jamie Osborne, gives Dettori another sound chance in the Folkestone-racecourse.co.uk Handicap over six furlongs.

Also worth noting is Anfield Dream (2-50), who will lack nothing in fitness after a busy all-weather campaign in which he showed an admirable level of consistency.
