DOUBLE: Snow Bay and Wilbury Star.

Bryan Smart has a pool of juvenile talent at his disposal and he can land the Unison Health 60th NHS Anniversary Median Auction Maiden Stakes at Ayr on Sunday with Snow Bay.

The Hambleton handler nearly pulled off a hat-trick of two-year-old successes in consecutive years recently when Spin Cycle was just touched off in the Norfolk Stakes.

And while he failed to emulate Hellvelyn and Maze, it proved once again the the canny trainer knows how to handle speedy sorts.

Snow Bay may not be one of his stable stars but he has shown enough in his two starts to suggest he is capable of winning a race of this nature.

Beaten only two lengths into fourth on his debut at Hamilton, he stepped up on that last time when second in a decent event at Newcastle.

The Bahamian Bounty colt relished the extra furlong and with the benefit of two runs under his belt, he looks primed to break his duck.

Whenever Richard Hannon and Ryan Moore team up, punters should take note and that is the case with Wilbury Star in the EBF Cats Protection Median Auction Maiden Stakes at Brighton.

Hannon's juveniles usually know their job first time out but there is no denying that this year they have certainly benefited from an initial outing.

Wilbury Star came out third-best in a three-way photo on his debut at Folkestone but the other two involved in the tight finish had the benefit of previous experience.

That Wilbury Star stuck on so gamely, albeit with the benefit of the running rail, was pleasing to see and he should definitely be in the shake up again.

Also at Brighton, Henry Candy's Tittle is worth close consideration in the Sussex Newspapers Handicap.

The three-year-old is making her handicap debut and the trainer won with a similar sort at Newmarket last weekend.

There are few shrewder trainers in the game than Candy and this daughter of Tobougg, while obviously no superstar, looks capable of much better than she has shown to date.

At Market Rasen, The Rocking Dock can make a winning debut over the bigger obstacles in the Don Noble Bookmaker "Gives Guaranteed Odds" Beginners' Chase.

A surprise winner of a competitive handicap hurdle on his last start, he has always looked a chaser in the making.

Only a seven-year-old, his ability to handle quicker ground could enable him to rattle up a sequence in the summer months.
