Trainer Mark Johnston a big fish in totepool

Mark Johnston has held a tight grip on the totepool Glasgow Stakes since its move to Hamilton Park and has another great chance this year with Malthouse.

The Middleham winner machine has won the last four renewals with Boscobel, Captain Webb, Parthenon and last year's St Leger third, Corsica.

The race used to be run in May and, before its switch north of the border from York, it was used as a Derby trial, with Commander In Chief doing the double in 1993. This year, there are a couple of useful fillies in the line-up in Palm Pilot and Stella Point, but they will have to go some to beat Malthouse.

Horses trained by Johnston just seem to handle plenty of runs better than those from other yards and Malthouse finished eighth behind Brown Panther at Royal Ascot, then chased home the smart Dominant at Newmarket before running with great credit last week in a race that looks sure to throw up plenty of winners.

Tom Dascombe's Sunday Bess is overdue a win in the Always Trying Maiden Stakes. After chasing home Solar Sky at Haydock she had no realistic chance in the Ribblesdale at Ascot. Prior to that her form was progressive and she must go close. The Laurie Bolger Happy Birthday Memorial Novice Stakes at Doncaster is a fascinating four-runner affair and slight preference is for Stonefield Flyer.

Keith Dalgleish's juvenile has some very good form in the book, chasing home Lily's Angel and then getting closest to Frederick Engels in the Windsor Castle at Ascot.

Frankie Dettori is on Invisible Man in the five-runner Esquires Coffee Wheatley Retail Park Conditions Stakes, in which Saeed bin Suroor saddles three.

But take a chance on stablemate Secrecy, the mount of Ted Durcan, who has run well fresh in the past. Andy Haynes' Collect Art has been in great nick of late and looks to have another winning opportunity in the Premier Conservatory Roofs Handicap at Bath.

At Epsom, Frognal should go close in the Betfair Supports Racing Welfare Claiming Stakes and Leicester's Melton Mowbray Conditions Stakes looks at the mercy of Richard Hannon's Auld Burns.SPARE PAGE
