DAVID LODER and Frankie Dettori are a formidable partnership and today they team up in the Levy Board Conditions Stakes at Nottingham with the highly regarded Sekari.
Made odds on for his only start to date at Yarmouth at the end of October, the son of Polish Precedent was impressive.
In need of the race and slow to stride, Loder's charge was held up behind but soon made headway on the bridle to lead a furlong out and displaying a useful turn of foot quickened decisively to settle the issue by three quarters of a length from Alezal with the third another three lengths away.
On the strength of that effort, Sekari would appear to have a bright future and he is napped to confirm last season's promise.
Master Foley appeals off a handy mark in the New Basford Handicap over six furlongs.
Nick Littmoden's three year old has done most of his racing on the all weather but ran well on turf on his latest start over today's course and distance.
Always in touch with the leaders, Master Foley held every chance inside the final furlong but was outpaced in the closing stages and finished second of 18, beaten three and a half lengths by Treasure Touch.
Obviously not inconvenienced by fast ground, Master Foley looks worth another chance to reverse placings with Treasure Touch whom he meets on 9lb better terms.
Kevin Morgan looks to have found a suitable opportunity at Beverley for Night Dance to register his first Flat success for 17 months.
Formerly a useful handicapper with Geoff Lewis successful three times in 1995 including in the Tote Festival Handicap at Ascot Night Dance has shown fair form over hurdles this winter running well behind Sharpical at Huntingdon and winning at Market Rasen in January.
