RAINBOW MIRAGE and Laura Pearson are expected to prove a powerful combination in the MansionBet Proud Partners Of The AWC Handicap (12.40) at Lingfield Park.
Rising star Pearson has an excellent record aboard the Mark Rimell trainee - the pair have failed to make the medal positions just once from five outings together.
That haul includes a win in a 0-60 handicap over course and distance, which Rainbow Mirage captured by a nose from Catch My Breath.
The Garswood mare is 2lb higher in the weights and steps into 0-70 company here.
But Rainbow Mirage, who has proved her stamina for a mile - after doing the bulk of her racing over shorter - should give another good account in a race where few of her rivals have compelling claims.
At Southwell, BRORSON has plenty going for him in the Sky Sports Racing Virgin 535 Handicap Hurdle (2.20).
A well-backed 11-2 favourite for a two-mile novices’ handicap hurdle at Cheltenham in November, Sean Bowen’s mount stayed on strongly into seventh behind Mc Alpine.
Brorson easily justified short odds over an additional three furlongs in a novice event at Catterick Bridge 11 days before Christmas and should thrive for the first attempt to tackle three miles.
