3.15 Salisbury – MORTLAKE (1pt win – 6/1 b3t365,888Sport, 11/2 generally)
MORTLAKE, a winner from the front on fast ground at Leicester on his second juvenile outing, didn’t show a huge amount at York on last month’s comeback, finishing 11th of 15 under a patient ride. That run, his first for 256 day and first since a gelding operation, was clearly needed and he should leave that form well behind today. He looks the sole pace angle in this six-runner line-up if reverting to the tactics that served him so well at Leicester and his trainer does well with three-year-old handicappers on their second start back after being gelded, scoring with 24 of the 104 qualifiers for a profit of £72.86 (including 9-1 Royal Ascot winner Going The Distance).
5.15 Carlisle – BLUFFERONTHEBUS (1pt win – 13/2 William Hill, 888Sport)
BLUFFERONTHEBUS impressed me in finishing second by a neck at the last Carlisle meeting where all bar one of the winners came late/wide down the middle of the track. Those who took the stands’ side route were at a big disadvantage and Craig Lidster’s three-year-old deserves extra credit for her always-prominent runner-up effort against the ‘dead’ rail. That run took place on officially soft going but she was a winner on officially good to firm ground here in May and Proform’s going allowance suggested it was firm that day. It’s difficult to know whether stall 1 will be a help or a hindrance on watered ground today but there’s compensation in the price and she’s worth a small interest.

Andrew Mount’s Myth Busters – Is the Draw the Most Important Factor in the Northumberland Plate?
Saturday’s feature race is the Northumberland Plate at Newcastle, a two-mile heritage handicap run on the Tapeta surface. Having spent much of last week stressing over the likely draw bias at Royal Ascot, is it safe to ignore the draw in such a long-distance contest and concentrate on other factors? Let’s have a closer look……
