Division top of the table for Yarmouth backers

Division can earn himself a possible tilt at a major end-of-season prize by securing his second victory from three starts in the Thoroughbred Daily News EBF Novice Stakes at Yarmouth on Tuesday.

The William Haggas-trained juvenile was a promising second on his debut behind the useful Poatan, who had the benefit of previous experience and has since finished third in a valuable sales race at Doncaster's St Leger meeting.

Division was unsurprisingly cramped odds to open his account at the second time of asking at Haydock and did so in some style, making every yard of the running and stretching three lengths clear of the chasing pack without being fully extended.

A Group One entry in the Middle Park suggests the son of Kingman is held in high esteem by his trainer and while that might come soon enough, there will be options to test his mettle at Group-race level before the season is out if he can double his tally at the seaside.

Parole Officer will not be winning out of turn if he can strike gold in the Great Yarmouth Glass Company Nursery Handicap.

The youngster has finished on the podium in four of his five races so far without quite managing to climb to the number one spot.

However, he moves into the handicap sphere for the first time off what looks a workable mark of 69 and with William Buick on his back, it will be a shade disappointing if he is unable to make the most of what looks a very good opportunity.

John and Thady Gosden have their string in tremendous nick and it is not too difficult to make a strong case for Clarehaven-based juvenile Nova Centauri in the British Stallion Studs EBF 'Confined' Maiden Stakes.

The son of American stallion Not This Time was seemingly not that well fancied on his Newbury introduction as a 16-1 shot, but outran his odds with a staying-on third.

That form received a significant boost when the runner-up Wechaad landed a valuable nursery at Doncaster a few days ago and with a step up from 1400m to 1600m promising to suit, Nova Centauri is difficult to oppose.

Michael Dods is another trainer who has been among the winners of late and his Taygar catches the eye in the Start Your Racing TV Free Trial Now Handicap at Redcar.

The four-year-old is a previous winner over this course and distance and won off his current mark of 68 at Ayr in early July.

Results have been mixed since and his latest effort at Haydock was uninspiring, but he is capable of winning a race like this at his best.

Poet's Dawn can claim his second win in a week in the Marske Fabrication And Engineering Straight Mile Handicap.

Although getting on in years at the age of 10, Tim Easterby's veteran is enjoying a productive campaign and won with plenty in hand at Carlisle last Tuesday.

Connections have opted to turn him out quickly under a 4lb penalty and he can strike again while the iron is hot.
