Unlike his famous namesake, Mister Ed can't talk and will let his actions speak for him when he makes his debut at Canterbury on Wednesday.

The Gerald Ryan-trained three-year-old runs in a 1200 metre maiden with Corey Brown aboard.

Named after the talking horse from the popular 1960s television series, Mister Ed won his first barrier trial at Rosehill on July 6.

"He's a lovely quiet little horse," Ryan said.

"He won his only trial and I think he can be competitive in a race like this.

"He has been a slow maturer which is why he is only having his first start as nearly a four-year-old.

"He's a plain little bay, he's not big but he's a compact little thing and he goes pretty well."

Among his opposition is Metallurgical, a $2.2 million yearling purchase by Patinack Farm in 2008 who is looking to break his maiden at his 10th start.

He has also been entered for a 1200m Benchmark 74 handicap on Saturday.

Another who hasn't quite lived up to his early hype is Eighto, a problem plagued five-year-old full brother to champion Lonhro who will be having just his eighth start.

Raced by Sheikh Mohammed, Eighto runs in the TJ's Champagne Bar Handicap (1580m) with Blake Shinn to ride.

Brown has six rides scheduled on the seven race program with just five meetings left this season for him to make a dent in Nash Rawiller's Sydney premiership lead.

Rawiller, who has a full book at Canterbury, has a seven win buffer over Brown with both being upstaged by apprentice Blake Spriggs at Rosehill on Saturday.

The 18-year-old rode five winners including Mr Unforgettable in the Winter Stakes and has five rides on Wednesday.

Peter Snowden maintains a nine win lead over Chris Waller for the trainers' title with both stables well represented at Canterbury.

Waller has enjoyed a stellar season and is currently 14 wins ahead of last season's premier trainer Gai Waterhouse.
