18:00 – Support Our Local On-Course Bookmakers Nursery Handicap

Race Details: 7f | Class 6 | Going: 6.0) (watering) (rail movements (Good, good to firm in places (goingstick) | | flat

This looks a proper low-grade 2yo nursery rather than anything especially deep, and that usually means siding with the one most likely to cope with the new demands of handicap company. Dream On Kent sets the standard on figures with a mark of 71 and the best Topspeed in the field, while Jazzy Bay brings solid consistency after four straight efforts in the frame without quite getting the job done. Ariane Sky is interesting now handicapping off 64, and Parading has been knocking on the door for Richard Hughes. There are one or two lurking off low weights, notably Magical Life, but plenty of these have already shown their limitations. Tricky enough because several are unexposed at the trip, though not a race full of hidden stars.

Top Selections

1. Dream On Kent – 9/2 with Bet365

Jockey: Ryan Kavanagh | Trainer: David Evans | Form: 8226 | Rating: 71 | Topspeed: 67

Dream On Kent makes plenty of appeal now dropped into this Class 6 nursery after shaping well in better company. Those two runner-up efforts read well enough in the context of this race and, while he was only sixth last time, his overall profile is still stronger than most of these. He carries 135, but that is the trade-off for already posting the best rating and Topspeed in the field. David Evans knows the time of day with juveniles in these races, and if Ryan Kavanagh can get him settled over this 7f, he ought to take plenty of beating. At 9/2, he looks the most solid win proposition.

Bet: WIN

2. Ariane Sky – 4/1 with Paddy Power

Jockey: Mason Paetel | Trainer: James Owen | Form: 554 | Rating: 64 | Topspeed: 45

Ariane Sky is the one who could easily step forward now switched into nursery company. Her three runs have not screamed future winner, but they have at least suggested a workable level of ability, and an opening mark of 64 gives James Owen something to work with. She gets in here with 130, receives weight from the principals, and this looks a much more realistic assignment than the maiden company she has been contesting. The market has clearly latched on, but 4/1 still makes some each-way sense in a field where not many arrive with obvious upside. She is very much the type to improve for this setup.

Bet: EACH-WAY

Betting Strategy

Dream On Kent is the percentage call for the win bet, having already shown the strongest form and speed figures in the lineup. Ariane Sky is the each-way play, mainly because her opening handicap mark looks fair and she has more scope than plenty of these exposed rivals. Parading and the reliable-but-vulnerable Jazzy Bay are the obvious dangers if the selection underperforms.

18:30 – DragonBet/Martin Davies Handicap

Race Details: 7f | Class 5 | Going: 6.0) (watering) (rail movements (Good, good to firm in places (goingstick) | | flat

This five-runner handicap revolves around the older horse Distinct Spirit and the unexposed 3yo Flyta, and it does not look a race loaded with depth. Distinct Spirit arrives on the back of a couple of solid placed efforts and sets the standard on 77, but he is also asked to give weight away all round. Flyta comes here off a win, carries just 130lb despite matching that 77 mark, and his topspeed figure of 67 is the standout in the field. Decalogue and Name The Day are more speculative types from low draws, while Sofian needs to leave two quiet runs behind. In a small field where tactical pace and positioning will matter, the younger legs of Flyta make plenty of appeal.

Top Selections

1. Flyta – 9/4 with Bet365

Jockey: Rob Hornby | Trainer: Mark Loughnane | Form: -24021 | Rating: 77 | Topspeed: 67

Flyta looks the percentage call. He got his head back in front last time and that recent win matters in a race where a few of these arrive with something to prove. The key point is that he meets Distinct Spirit on level terms at the ratings but receives a full 12lb on the weights as a 3yo, and that is a major edge in a race of this nature. His topspeed figure is the best on offer here as well, which suggests he has the raw pace for a truly run 7f on quickish ground. At 9/4, he is the one I want on side.

Bet: WIN

Betting Strategy

Keep it simple in this small field: Flyta is the win bet. He has the recent victory, the best topspeed figure and a handy weight pull against the favourite. Distinct Spirit is the obvious danger and very much the one most likely to chase him home, but at the prices Flyta makes more appeal than taking odds-on about the older horse.

19:00 – Cymru Bet/Alan Bushell Racing Classified Stakes

Race Details: 1m | Class 6 | Going: 6.0) (watering) (rail movements (Good, good to firm in places (goingstick) | | flat

This is hardly a deep classified, but it does look a race with a solid enough centre to it. Knightmare arrives off the back of a deserved win and sets the standard on recent form, while King Of The Dance has the highest rating in the field and would be right in the argument if putting that latest mishap behind him. Mooretown Lad has become expensive to follow, but he keeps running well enough to suggest a race like this is within reach, and Create is not entirely dismissed on figures despite an uninspiring profile. The rest need a leap of faith. In truth, this looks the sort of ordinary mile handicap where track position and attitude in the final furlong will decide plenty, but Knightmare still makes the most obvious appeal.

Top Selections

1. Knightmare – 11/8 with Bet365

Jockey: Ryan Kavanagh | Trainer: David Evans | Form: 252221 | Rating: 61 | Topspeed: 50

David Evans has found a very ordinary race for a horse who has been knocking on the door, and Knightmare looks hard to oppose. The recent form figures tell the story: he had been threatening before finally getting his head in front last time, and a mark of 61 still looks workable in this company. He does not tower over these on raw ability, but he is the one arriving with momentum and, in a race full of exposed types, that counts for plenty. Ryan Kavanagh keeps the ride and from stall 4 he should get a sensible trip. At 11/8, he is short enough, but probably still the right favourite. Bet: WIN

Bet: WIN

2. King Of The Dance – 9/2 with Bet365

Jockey: Alexandra Egan | Trainer: Bernard Llewellyn & Robert Williams | Form: 34452U | Rating: 64 | Topspeed: 39

The each-way angle is King Of The Dance, who is better than that latest unseat suggests and has enough earlier form to be competitive in a race of this standard. Prior to that blot, he had been running respectably without quite landing the blow, and his rating of 64 is the best on show here. He is not one to trust implicitly, and that is why he is not the main play, but this is a realistic assignment if Alexandra Egan can keep him organised early and deliver him late. Available at 9/2, he makes more appeal as a place play than some of the shorter alternatives behind the favourite. Bet: EACH-WAY

Bet: EACH-WAY

Betting Strategy

Knightmare is the straightforward win bet after finally converting a string of near-misses and looks the most solid option in a weak race. For an each-way punt, King Of The Dance makes more sense than the frustrating Mooretown Lad, especially with only eight runners. Mooretown Lad is the obvious danger if this falls right for him, while Create is not impossible at a bigger price.

19:30 – Christian Holland/Ken Howell Sports Betting Maiden Fillies’ Stakes (GBB/GBBPlus Race)

Race Details: 1m 3f | Class 3 | Going: 6.0) (watering) (rail movements (Good, good to firm in places (goingstick) | | flat

This may only be a four-runner maiden, but it does not lack depth at the top end. Summerson brings the clearest standard on form after finishing second on both starts and her rating of 91 sets the bar, while Seacole is not far behind on 88 and shaped as though this longer trip could suit. Cracking Beauty also has a bit to recommend her after improving from debut to finish third last time, though she still has a bit to find on the figures. Khepri looks the outsider on what she has shown so far. In a small field where tactics could matter, proven ability and the likelihood of further progress over 1m3f should decide it. It looks a fair maiden rather than a penalty kick, but Summerson is the obvious one to beat.

Top Selections

1. Summerson – 11/8 with Betfair

Jockey: Robbie Downey | Trainer: Roger Varian | Form: 22 | Rating: 91 | Topspeed: 75

Summerson sets the standard and, in a race of this size, that usually counts for plenty. Two runner-up efforts already give her the strongest body of form in the field, and that 91 mark leaves her clear on ratings. The Topspeed figure of 75 also jumps off the page in this company. Roger Varian’s filly looks the most solid option if this turns into a straightforward test, and the step up to 1m3f could yet unlock a bit more. At 11/8, she is not exactly missed, but she is still hard to oppose given what the others need to prove. Bet: WIN

Bet: WIN

Betting Strategy

Keep it simple in a four-runner race: Summerson is the win play and the only bet worth making from a staking point of view. There is no each-way angle in a field this small. Seacole is the obvious danger if the extra distance brings improvement, while Cracking Beauty has place form prospects but needs another step forward to trouble the favourite.

20:00 – Alan Bennett Racing/Keith Davies Handicap (Bath Summer Stayers’ Series Qualifier)

Race Details: 1m 3f | Class 6 | Going: 6.0) (watering) (rail movements (Good, good to firm in places (goingstick) | | flat

This looks a fairly ordinary Class 6 on paper, but not an impossible one to unravel. Pureis King arrives chasing a hat-trick and is the obvious starting point after back-to-back wins, while Zaraquelle also comes here off a successful latest run and remains open to a bit more progress. Just Adair has been knocking on the door without getting his head in front and looks the solid alternative if the market leaders underperform. Behind them, the likes of Virtual Hug and Trojan Truth have bits of form that make them competitive in this grade, but both look more vulnerable than persuasive. In a nine-runner race where the front end of the market is easy enough to find, the key question is whether Pureis King is still ahead of the assessor.

Top Selections

1. Pureis King – 6/4 with Bet365

Jockey: Callum Hutchinson | Trainer: Faye Bramley | Form: 088211 | Rating: 75 | Topspeed: 62

He is short enough, but there is a good reason for it. Pureis King has turned a corner in his last two starts, winning twice in succession and posting the joint-best Topspeed figure in this field. A 4lb rise asks a fresh question, yet this still looks the sort of race where a progressive 4yo can keep rolling. He is carrying only 133 despite top weight being higher in the field, and in this company that matters. Callum Hutchinson gets the leg up again and the profile is simply stronger than most of these exposed rivals. At 6/4, he is no giveaway, but he is still the one they all have to beat. Bet: WIN

Bet: WIN

2. Just Adair – 4/1 with Bet365

Jockey: Jason Watson | Trainer: Jonjo & A J O’Neill | Form: 128-22 | Rating: 73 | Topspeed: 61

Just Adair makes plenty of each-way appeal because he keeps running his race and doesn’t have much to find on the figures. His last two efforts, both runner-up finishes, suggest he is threatening to win one of these, and an inside draw in stall 1 should help Jason Watson get him settled into a handy rhythm. He is only 2lb lower than Pureis King on official ratings and his Topspeed figure says he belongs right in the argument. The nagging concern is that he has had chances, but in a race lacking depth beyond the front three in the market, 4/1 looks perfectly fair for a horse likely to be thereabouts again. Bet: EACH-WAY

Bet: EACH-WAY

Betting Strategy

Pureis King is the win play and the most likely winner if he reproduces the improvement shown in his last two starts. Just Adair is the each-way angle in a nine-runner field with three places on offer, as he looks reliable and well drawn to hit the frame. Zaraquelle is the obvious danger after her latest win and is respected, but she makes less appeal at the prices than the pair above.

20:30 – Jack Bevan & Co/Pinno Bookmakers Handicap

Race Details: 6f | Class 6 | Going: 6.0) (watering) (rail movements (Good, good to firm in places (goingstick) | | flat

This looks a perfectly ordinary Class 6 sprint, which usually means it is not straightforward at all. Legendsoftheland brings the most persuasive recent profile, arriving on the back of figures of 321213 and drawn well in stall 1, so he is the obvious starting point. Symbol Of Hope has been knocking around in similar races without quite getting his head in front, but his topspeed mark gives him a squeak if things drop right. Honour Your Dreams is another with enough bits of form to get involved, while Aplaceinthesun is less exposed than plenty of these if improving from that comeback. Still, this doesn’t look a deep race and the one with the clearest, most reliable current credentials is hard to get away from.

Top Selections

1. Legendsoftheland – 9/4 with Betfair

Jockey: Finley Marsh | Trainer: Adrian Wintle | Form: 321213 | Rating: 68 | Topspeed: 59

He is the solid one in a race full of questions. Those recent figures tell their own story: this 4yo has been running well again and again, and his mark of 68 still looks manageable judged on the consistency he has been showing. The topspeed figure of 59 is also the best in the field, which matters in a modest 6f handicap like this where a lot of these are either out of form or thoroughly exposed. Finley Marsh knows the horse and the draw in 1 should help if he can bag a handy position early. At 9/4, he is not exactly a secret, but he still looks the percentage call.

Bet: WIN

2. Symbol Of Hope – 5/1 with Bet365

Jockey: Ryan Kavanagh | Trainer: Grace Harris | Form: 703843 | Rating: 62 | Topspeed: 57

He is the one that appeals most as an each-way play because he tends to keep himself competitive at this sort of level and doesn’t need to improve much to hit the frame again. His recent form is not flashy, but it is respectable enough, and that topspeed mark of 57 says he still has the pace to lay up in a race of this nature. Off 62, he is weighted to be involved if getting a clean run from stall 3, and Ryan Kavanagh should be able to keep things uncomplicated. With three places on offer, the 5/1 looks fair for a horse who usually gives you a run for your money.

Bet: EACH-WAY

Betting Strategy

Legendsoftheland is the win bet and the one I’d be building the race around, because his current form is comfortably the most convincing on offer. For an each-way alternative, Symbol Of Hope makes more appeal than some shorter-priced, less reliable rivals. Honour Your Dreams looks the main danger if bouncing back to one of his better efforts, while Aplaceinthesun is the interesting lurker at a price.
