TYPICAL Woman can get back on the winning trail in the Yale Fillies' Handicap at Haydock.
The Ian Williams-trained four-year-old has gone 11 races since registering her sole victory to date in a novice event at Chelmsford in the autumn of 2021.
She has been placed a few times during the intervening period, though, and her mark has fallen from a high of 74 to her current perch of 67.
Typical Woman was never a factor on her first start of the current campaign at this venue in April, but has since been beaten just three lengths into fourth place at Newbury and a length and a half when fourth at Southwell just over three weeks ago.
She may have finished even closer last time but for encountering trouble in running and she looks well weighted ahead of her return to Merseyside, with the booking of William Buick clearly a big positive.
Significantly can give weight and a beating to his rivals in the six-furlong Tuffx Handicap.
The Garswood gelding was rated as high as 105 during his initial spell with Karl Burke, making his present mark of 87 look very enticing.
The five-year-old was snapped up for 50,000 guineas by Julie Camacho in October and there was plenty of encouragement to be taken from his stable debut when beaten a length into fourth place at Ayr in May.
Camacho's adeptness for training sprinters was highlighted by the Group One success of Shaquille at Royal Ascot and Significantly is expected to add to her tally on Merseyside.
Almarin should go well on his return to Yarmouth for the Weatherbys Digital Solutions Handicap.
The son of Belardo won comfortably over the course and distance on his third novice outing in September and is slowly finding his feet in handicaps.
The application of a visor appears to have helped as he was beaten just half a length on his first start in the headgear and ran well enough when fourth on his latest outing at Haydock before his petrol tank emptied in the last of 10 furlongs.
Returning to a mile on a track that suits, he looks to have plenty in his favour.
Boyfriend looks a solid pick in the first division of the KKA Studio Novice Stakes at Newbury.
The youngster looked a big price for a Richard Hannon-trained juvenile when a 20-1 shot for his Windsor debut and he outran his odds to be beaten just a neck into second place by Brave Empire.
The winner has since bolted up under a penalty, suggesting Boyfriend will not need to improve much, if at all, to go one better at the second attempt.
Star Runner takes the eye as he makes his racecourse bow in the Unibet Irish EBF Novice Stakes at Kempton.
As a Zoustar half-brother to Running Lion, he is bred to be pretty smart and seven furlongs appears an ideal starting distance.
Perth punters should side with Irish raider I Love My Baie in the Generate Income From Horizon Parking Maiden Hurdle.
Stuart Crawford's charge comfortably won a bumper here last year, but came up short under a penalty on his return from 11 months off the track at Haydock.
However, he should strip fitter for the run and looks to have been found a good slot to make a successful transition to the jumping game.
