Chris Fairhurst sends Abbajabba on the long journey from Middleham to Salisbury for the Tote Trifecta Rated Stakes tomorrow and the hint should be taken.
Abbajabba has already made a successful raid on the south this season when he scored over six furlongs on heavy going at Epsom in April.
He has since won a minor event at Ayr, beating Strong Presence comfortably by three-quarters of a length.
And just last Saturday the four-year-old gelding once again showed his liking for rain-softened ground by finishing a one-length second to Polly Golightly in a competitive five-furlong handicap, coming home well after being outpaced in the early stages.
Abbajabba will be suited by the step back up to six furlongs tomorrow and with the ground riding on the soft side he is made the nap selection to make the most of his favoured low draw in the afternoon`s Showcase handicap.
Delta Song looks a good bet to land the Smith & Williamson Conditions Stakes.
Gary Moore`s filly has won three of her four starts including a seller and two nurseries.
She put up a particularly game performance at Goodwood last time and after a tremendous battle with Soldier On just managed to hold that rival be a neck.
Delta Song is improving fast and another victory is on the cards tomorrow.
Threat looks the answer to the tricky question posed by the Northern Spirit Handicap at Newcastle.
The Stuart Williams-trained four-year-old appeared unsuited by Chester`s tight turns last time but judged on his previous run at Newmarket, where he finished a one-and-a-quarter-length third to Dancing Mystery, Threat merits an interest tomorrow.
Pole Star can confirm the promise he showed when third, beaten two and a half lengths behind Bourgainville at Salisbury on his debut, with victory in the first division of the betsmart.co.uk Maiden Auction Stakes.
Twilight World was all at sea on the firm ground at Carlisle in July when a nine-length third to Invisible Force when sent off at 1-2 for a moderate contest.
Off the course since and with the prospect of softer underfoot conditions at Brighton, Twilight World is worth another chance in the Brighton Ski And Snowboard Show Handicap.
