With Distant Music and a few other big guns missing the Lane's End Greenham Stakes (3.30) at Newbury tomorrow because of the soft ground, the Group 3 event is best left to Summoner.

The Roger Charlton-trained colt looked one to follow with an impressive victory at Doncaster last month when he swept three lengths clear of Zyz.

He is stepping up in class, but won with such authority that he looks worth backing to grab this 40,000-added prize over the straight seven furlongs.

A Charlton double can be initiated by Fairy Godmother, who can wave her magic wand in the Group 3 Watership Down Stud John Porter Stakes (2.30).

The filly, owned by the Queen, was unraced as a two-year-old and won her only two starts last season both on this track over ten furlongs.

Her breeding suggests that she should stay the extra two furlongs.

Culzean finished a fine fifth in the Worthington Lincoln, and he can improve on that in the Tote Bookmakers Spring Cup (3.00).

Richard Hannon's four-year-old belied his odds of 40-1 in the cavalry charge down the Doncaster mile by finishing within three and a half lengths of the winner, John Ferneley. At Ayr, Paris Pike can justify all the hype by stealing the show in the Ladbroke Casinos Scottish Grand National (Showcase Handicap) (4.00).

Ferdy Murphy's progressive eight-year-old looked the ideal type for the race when slamming Merry Path by 20 lengths at Uttoxeter last month to give him his fourth win from five starts this season.

Smurfit Champion Hurdle sixth Dato Star can gain compensation in the Samsung Electronics Scottish Champion Hurdle (3.20).

Malcolm Jefferson's stable star has had no luck over hurdles at Cheltenham, and is a much better horse on flatter tracks such as Newcastle and Haydock where his record is exemplary.
