Oriental Beauty 0.5pt EW 18/1 (300 Bath) – Well beaten on yard debut last time out when reappearing from 250 days off. Has plenty to prove here today too but has snippets of form for Mick Channon last term that puts her well above this revised mark. On her best run last term we have her at around 72 and goes from 55 today. Yards record here is a good one at around a 22% strike with a +47 LSP.

Dark Flyer 0.5pt EW 16/1 4places (336 Bath) – Just touched off over 7 furlongs back in January and followed that up with another decent run on the AW. Flopped last time and been off for 53 days since so there will likely be an excuse for that performance. Has a first run on turf today which should be more up his street and steps up to 1 mile for the first time which he looks to be crying out for. Sits on a very tempting mark and gets a very valuable 5lb off in the form of Benoit D L Sayette.

Chicago Gal 1pt win only 11/2 (411 Bath) – Shown plenty of promise on his 3 starts to date and gets a much needed step up in trip here on handicap debut for the in form Alan King. She will need to be ready after 7 months off but having the yard in good order gives us the confidence for that. Opening mark looks fair and a further 5lb taken off by the above mentioned claimer B Sayette makes this filly a very interesting prospect. Yards only runner at the meeting.

My Boy Charles 1pt win only 15/2 (446 Bath) – Way too free over the inadequate 8f trip last time out and should fair much better now upped in trip today. Won over 10f here last summer and is only 2lb above that mark here today. Finley Marsh takes off 3lb and has a decent record for the yard around here.

Redrosezorro 1pt win only 11/1 (430 Chester) – Had been banging on the door from his much reduced mark until missing the break last time out at Catterick. Should go well again if able to get away on terms from the 1 stall here at Chester.

Hamaki £10 win only 13/2 Skybet money back if 2nd or 3rd (140 Sandown) – Back to back winner last term before a lesser performance when upped in trip. Interesting then that the return run here is over an extra furlong having undergone a wind op suggesting that the trip should play to this ones strength and improvement could well be on the cards for top yard.

Tuesday 1pt win only 17/2 + The Algarve 0.5pt EW 100/1 4 places B365 (430 Epsom) – Aiden O Brien is no stranger to winning this race and has done it with his unfancied horses on more than one occasion. Tuesday 7/1 probably rates his main threat to the favourite and fits the bill in terms of being a Galileo filly stepping up to this trip for the first time like 4 of the yards previous winners of this race. The other selection could not go with the favourite Emily Upjohn in the Musidora at York and was comprehensively beaten that day. However many of this yards runners often need a first race and she could come on plenty for that race today.

Daiquiri 1pt win only 4/1 (751 Doncaster) – Has shown plenty of promise on both outings this term and is open to improvement here on handicap debut. Upped in trip which looks likely to suit and the form of the last couple of races is working out pretty nicely. Yard do well with their youngsters and they are profitable to follow here off a 27% strike rate in the last 5 years.

Keepers Choice 1pt win only 11/2 (730 Bath) – 3 wins and 2 places from 10 runs over CD and only 3lb above that last win here at this time last year. Should be fitter for his latest reappearance run and will enjoy being back here with conditions to suit from what looks a plum draw.

Suanni 1pt win only 15/2 (620 Bath) – Gelded since last run so much will depend on how he settles after that procedure. Comes here dropping in grade and having been eased slightly at the weight however and given the yards current form can be expected to go well. Has won at the track previously but that was over the extended 5f so todays race will be much sharper which we think will be ok.

Jersey 1pt win only 15/2 (355 Huntingdon) – Not been seen since falling on handicap debut 158 days ago but still holds plenty of potential from this mark for the very much in form yard of Dan Skelton. The yards sole runner on the card today and they will be looking to add to their tally of 6 winners from 12 runners in the last 14 days.

Nurseclaire 1pt win only 15/2 (445 Catterick) – Well held on stable debut and has been off the track for 158 days since that run. Had previously shown plenty for Richard Fahey and is one that still hold lots of potential now going handicapping for the first time. Kieron O Neill in the saddle rates a big positive with his record here over the last 5 years sitting at 5 wins from just 14 runs for a 36% strike. Yard are having a decent season and have been amongst the winners in the last couple of weeks.

Captain Howse 1pt win only 6/1 (840 bath) – Sir Mark Prescott has won this race on both occasions where he has had a runner line up. He has done so with runners that have stepped up markedly in trip on each occasion and that is the case for his runner here today. His winner last year was out of the Dam Australia as is the selection this time around. Blinkers on for the first time and needs to be taken seriously. Copperplate rates the main danger, well bred and will be crying out for this longer trip so i would not put anyone off covering the bet with a reverse forecast.

Typewritten 1pt win only 9/1 (710 Chelmsford) – Finished last on yard debut last time out after 100 days off the track. Looked awkward and unsettled that day and could fair better back at Chelmsford where her best race to date was seen back in December. Tom Marquand takes over in the saddle which is a big positive and the addition of cheekpieces can certainly do no harm. Up in trip which looks likely to suit and could well surprise today.

Addie Boo Boo 1pt win only 6/1 (810 Chelmsford) – Lightly raced maiden who was not disgraced on reappearance when shaping as if in need of this extra furlong. Placed twice from 3 starts last term on the AW and is of interest again sent back to Chelmsford for his in form yard.

One Touch 1pt win only 14/1 (830 Ffos Las) – Little success in a campaign over fences and offered more hope over the smaller obstacles 19 days ago. Will need to up his game from that run but this lightly raced sort should be able to get involved in a race of this magnitude with conditions to suit and another helping hand from the handicapper. Yard are 5 from 13 here over the last 12 months for a 38% strike rate with an LSP of +35.

Significantly 1pt win only 10/1 (236 Hamilton) – A winner at Royal Ascot last year who looked in need of the run on his recent reappearance run following a gelding operation. Yards runners are renowned for coming on in heaps for their first run and this one needs respecting back in this grade having undergone a wind op. Has a fair bit of weight to give away here but looks like a group horse in a handicap race so should be too good if putting his best foot forward.

Johnny Drama 0.5pt EW 18/1 4 places B365 (445 Redcar) – Eased 5lb for his latest reappearance run following 272 days off and should be much better for that run coming here. Was not given a hard time following a wind op last time out and ought to be able to get competitive in a race like this with the aide of todays 5lb claim. Yard and connections won this race last year.

Khulu 1pt win only 9/1 (515 Redcar) – Ran well when back on turf last time out, staying on into 4th over the shorter trip of 5f. Has a decent chance on the pick of his form here and gets 7lb worth of help from the claimer on board who has also shown plenty of promise in his short career to date.

Vandad 0.5pt EW 28/1 (610 Windsor) – Ran as good a race as he has done for some time last time out at Ascot. Was awkward at the off there and had to go a little too hard too early to put his best foot forward. On that evidence this further slide in the weights makes this one of interest here at what look to be very generous odds.

Jewel In My Crown 1pt win only 9/1 (710 Windsor) – Progressive last term and should be fitter now having a run under his belt. Comes here with the yard in form and is taken to continue that progression now. Has ideal trip and conditions so should go close.

Jacks A Legend 1pt win only 6/1 (204 Fontwell) – Not been seen in the best light on his last couple of runs but has a piece of form at Newbury back in December that would make a mockery of this race. On that form he looks to be a good 10lb well in here given his excellent 5lb claim and has little or no excuses today. This marks a big drop in class today too.

Tazka 0.5pt EW 18/1 4 places SkyBet (424 Fontwell) – Not seen at her best recently over inadequate trips and could fare much better upped markedly in distance and tackling 3 mile plus for the first time. Both wins have come at this track and the latest one from a 4lb higher mark had plenty of signs that todays trip could well play to her strengths. 3lb taken off by the yards claimer and conditions look perfect.

Tara Niece 1pt win only 12/1 (459 Fontwell) – Should be much sharper for her latest run following a 643 day lay off and could take a big step forward here today. Shaped as if retaining ability last time out and is taken to reverse the form with the re opposing winner that day The Height Of Fame with whom she is 12lb better off at the weights with now. Emma Lavelle sends just this one runner and Adam Wedge comes in to take just the one ride. Independance rates the main danger if able to cope with the step up in trip.

Newtown Boy 1pt win only 16/1 (322 Kelso) – Fourth in this race last term from 6lb higher mark and not been seen since that race. Has gone well fresh in the past however and yard certainly know how to get one ready. Up against some in form rivals today but a few are starting to look exposed and at these prices a small nibble has to be had. Trainer/Jockey combo are a profitable one to follow too so no forlorn hope as the markets would suggest.

Destrier 1pt win only 11/2 (331 Uttoxeter) – Got up to win on the line when upped in trip for the first time last time out in a race that looked perfect for his first attempt at the longer trip. Won in a head bob from the re opposing Barton Knoll and we fancy him to confirm that form here again today for the very much in form Dan Skelton who is 8 from 16 for a 50% strike in the last 14 days. Manofthemountain would be very dangerous if the recent wind op has the desired affect so keep an eye on the market for that one too. Selection still looks pretty well treated on old form.

Sapphire Moon 1pt win only 12/1 (220 Bath) – One of 3 in the race for A Carroll and would appear to be the pick on jockey bookings. Will need to be ready following 7 months off the track but that’s not such a big ask over these sprint trips. Still a maiden after 10 runs but went close on more than 1 occasion last year and would not have to improve much to get involved here.

Nusa Dua 1pt win only 11/1 (320 Bath) – Open to bounds of improvement sent handicapping for the first time and upped markedly in trip. George Rooke is 3 wins and 3 placed from 10 for the yard over the past 12 months with a LSP of +32 so is noteworthy getting on board this one for the first time.

Idoapologise 1pt win only 11/1 (730 Newcastle) – Course winner who is sent significantly back up in trip following a few lesser runs. Has had a wind op and if that has the desired effect then this one is sitting on a very attractive mark. Has a very valuable 5lb taken off by R Sexton who is 5 from 22 at the track this year so certainly knows how to get one home.

Poets Corner 1pt win only 8/1 (550 Huntingdon) – Former Points winner who could fare much better now sent chasing for the first time stepping up in trip. Any market support will be noteworthy for a yard that have done well here in the last 12 months, 4 wins and 3 placed from 16 for a 25% strike and an LSP of +34. Jack Quinlan has also been profitable to follow for this yard over that period with an LSP of +83 in the last 12 months from a 20% strike.

Jan Maat 1pt win only 12/1 (650 Huntingdon) – The other runner on the card for the above mentioned trainer/jockey combo and another who will be stepping up in trip. Previously with H De Bromhead and a once rated 142 Chaser who has fallen down the weights to a mark of just 109 i am positive it will only be a matter of time before this yard finds the key to getting his head back in front.

Voodoo Doll 1pt win only 7/1 (130 Ludlow) – Below form so far this term but as a result now sits on a very attractive mark some 3lb below his last winning one. Takes a small drop in class here for this and has a very valuable 7lb taken off by the family connections of Eleanor Williams.

Plansina 1pt win only 13/2 (210 Wolverhampton) – A 3 times CD winner who came very close over the trip here 2 runs back. Is quickly sent back to the Midlands track and does so under a change of pilot which is a big positive too. Finley Marsh has a great record for the yard and is profitable to follow when riding here for them.

Wilderness 1pt win only 6/1 (320 Fakenham) – Still unexposed in this sphere and is well worth another try here over the bigger obstacles based on how he tackled them on chase debut. Step back up in trip looks a big positive and conditions look perfect. Yard have done well here in recent years and have a 28% strike over the last 5 years and are 3 wins 1 placed from 8 in the last 12 month.

First Impression 1pt win only 12/1 (330 York) – Very versatile performer for the in form J Quinn who is sitting on a very attractive mark and taking a fair dip in class here. Very capable and needs taking seriously

Empirestateofmind 0.5pt EW 16/1 6 places (505 York) – Not really seen at his best last time out at Thirsk but the form of his previous win at Ripon has worked out pretty well so far. Drops in grade here and gets ideal conditions too. Another from the in form J Quinn yard who should put in a big performance here.

Barbill 0.5pt EW 25/1 6 places PP (535 York) – This ones record when fresh is very hard to ignore and he sits on a very attractive mark, some 8lb below his last win for this yard debut. Has a very good 5lb claim on board and is hard to ignore with 6 places on offer.
