Take a chance with Harmony Hall to register a belated first career victory in the 49's Sun Chemical Handicap over a mile and a quarter at Nottingham today.

James Fanshawe's gelding has several decent placed efforts to his credit and put up a personal best on his reappearance.

Racing over 10 furlongs on good to soft ground at Newmarket at the beginning of last month, Harmony Hall came close to opening his account.

He tracked the leaders going well and was produced by David Harrison to lead well inside the final furlong but was soon headed by Carlys Quest, who held on to beat Fanshawe's charge by half a length.

On the strength of that effort the son of Music Boy was sent off the 3 to 1 favourite for a mile-and-a-half handicap at Salisbury but encountered traffic problems inside the final two furlongs and finished fourth, three and a half lengths behind Veronica Franco.

The going was fast at Salisbury and Harmony Hall will be better suited by the easier underfoot conditions and the drop back to 10 furlongs at Nottingham. He will also wear a visor for the first time.

Racing off a mark just 2lb higher than when second at Newmarket, Harmony Hall appears to have everything in his favour and earns the nap selection.

Mark Johnston's horses are back in form - he landed a one-two in the Fern Hill at Ascot on Saturday - following a bout of coughing which affected his Kingsley House yard.

The Middleham trainer, so close with Double Trigger in the Gold Cup, can take the two-mile Yvonne Murray MBE Handicap at Musselburgh with prolific winner Star Rage.

This tough performer acts on any going, including the all-weather, is effective over any trip from 12 to 18 furlongs and is equally successful over timber with a victory in the County Hurdle to his credit.

And despite advancing years still retains plenty of a ability as he showed when running creditably at Bath last time.

The eight-year-old led after three furlongs and kept on in his usual resolute fashion when headed inside the final furlong, at the line going down by a length to Witney-de-Bergerac.

The going was on the soft side that day whereas Star Rage will have his favoured fast ground in Scotland and appeals as a good bet to score another victory.

Lady Rockstar is in unstoppable form and her sixth successive win looks on the cards in the Herbert And Peter Blagrave Fillies' Handicap at Windsor.
