18:15 – British Stallion Studs EBF Restricted Maiden Stakes (Bands C & D) (EBF Qual) (GBB/IRE Incentive)
Race Details: 5f | Class 5 | Going: 6.9) (watering) (Good to firm, good in places (goingstick) | | flat
This looks a fairly ordinary restricted maiden on paper and, in truth, Green Titan sets the standard by a clear margin. George Boughey’s colt has already shown useful form in two starts, and a mark of 74 absolutely towers over most of these. The question is less about ability and more about whether anything unexposed can step forward enough to trouble him. Chianti should improve for Archie Watson after a fair debut, while Tallahassee Lassie has shown a bit more than the bare form figures suggest and could be the one to pick up pieces if the favourite proves vulnerable. Nasserein has bits of form that make him mildly interesting at a price, but this still looks Green Titan’s race to lose rather than a deep or especially tricky contest.
Top Selections
1. Green Titan – 1/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Billy Loughnane | Trainer: George Boughey | Form: 02 | Rating: 74 | Topspeed: 48
He is the obvious one, but sometimes the obvious one is still the right one. Green Titan improved markedly from his debut when runner-up last time and that 74 rating leaves him well clear of these on the figures. In a restricted maiden, that matters. Boughey’s juveniles are rarely short of professionalism and Billy Loughnane is exactly the sort you want on a sharp 5f horse around here. At evens he is no hidden gem, but he has the strongest form in the field, a solid draw in 3, and very little among this opposition brings the same level of substance. Hard to oppose. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Tallahassee Lassie – 9/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Jack Doughty | Trainer: James Fanshawe | Form: 65 | Rating: 64 | Topspeed: 54
If you want an each-way play against the favourite, Tallahassee Lassie makes more appeal than most. Fanshawe is not known for revving them up wildly first time, so the step forward from sixth to fifth is worth a second look, and her Topspeed figure of 54 is actually a useful number in the context of this race. She’s drawn a little wide in 10, which is not ideal over the minimum trip, but she has shown enough to think there is another bit of progress coming. Available at 9/1, she looks the value option for those playing the places behind the market leader. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Keep it simple: Green Titan is the win bet and the one most likely to give this race a solid shape from the front rank of the market. For an each-way punt, Tallahassee Lassie appeals as a filly who can improve again and hit the frame. Chianti is the obvious danger if taking a good step forward from debut.

18:45 – Greenhouse Sports ‘Team For Life’ Handicap
Race Details: 7f | Class 6 | Going: 6.9) (watering) (Good to firm, good in places (goingstick) | | flat
This looks a proper low-grade 7f handicap where recent sharpness could count for plenty. No Gain brings the most persuasive current profile after a win and a close second, while Moonhall Lass has been holding her form well and is drawn on the rail to get a handy trip. Call Glory is another with a solid enough body of work in this grade, though stall 11 asks a question, and Mini Mac is weighted to be competitive if building on his recent second. A few of these, including Midnight’s Dream and Arnaz, need to prove they can still be trusted, while others like Berning Hot and Jackson Street have bits and pieces of form without looking bombproof. It is not a deep race, but it is a slightly tricky one because plenty arrive with limitations.
Top Selections
1. No Gain – 11/4 with Bet365
Jockey: Charles Bishop | Trainer: Adam Kirby | Form: 465212 | Rating: 74 | Topspeed: 56
He is the obvious starting point and, in truth, the one they all have to beat. That recent sequence reads well for this level, with a win followed by a solid second, and there is a sense he has found his mark now racing off 74. The draw in 5 should let Charles Bishop keep things uncomplicated around a track where position matters, and Adam Kirby also saddles another live one, which suggests the yard has a decent handle on the race. At 11/4 he is not exactly hiding, but this is a race lacking depth and he brings the cleanest current form. Hard to oppose.
Bet: WIN
2. Moonhall Lass – 11/2 with Paddy Power
Jockey: Billy Loughnane | Trainer: James Owen | Form: 311883 | Rating: 73 | Topspeed: 61
Moonhall Lass looks the each-way value if you want to play against the favourite at a bigger price. She has been admirably consistent in patches this year, winning twice earlier in her campaign and shaping respectably again when third last time. Her mark of 73 is workable enough, her Topspeed figure stacks up well in this field, and stall 1 could be a real asset if Billy Loughnane can hold a prominent pitch without wasting energy. She is not obviously ahead of the assessor, but in a race full of exposed types, available at 11/2, she makes plenty of appeal as the solid alternative.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
No Gain is the win play because he arrives in the best nick and has the least guesswork attached to him. Moonhall Lass is the sensible each-way punt from a good draw, especially with three places on offer. The main danger may be Call Glory, who has enough recent placed form to get involved if overcoming a wide stall.

19:15 – Global Harvester Handicap
Race Details: 1m 3f | Class 6 | Going: 6.9) (watering) (Good to firm, good in places (goingstick) | | flat
This doesn’t look a deep Class 6 by any means, but it is still a race with a bit of shape to it. Pureis King and Clipsham Noble both arrive on the back of wins and are the obvious starting points, while Ottoman has been hinting that his turn is near and could easily be the one to upset the market. Myna has been admirably consistent in this grade and should give another fair account, whereas old-timer Pisanello is weighted to be competitive if rediscovering a touch more spark. The rest have plenty to prove on recent evidence. In truth, this is not a strong race, but that can make it a dangerous one for short-priced horses if the pace gets messy over this intermediate trip.
Top Selections
1. Ottoman – 4/1 with Paddy Power
Jockey: Billy Loughnane | Trainer: Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero | Form: 650-83 | Rating: 67 | Topspeed: 55
Ottoman makes plenty of appeal in a race where the favourite is short enough and not bombproof. His last two runs suggest he is coming to the boil, and that topspeed figure of 55 is right up there with the best on offer in this field. He’s still relatively lightly raced compared to some of these exposed handicappers and this mark of 67 looks workable if he builds again on that latest third. Billy Loughnane is an eye-catching booking in this grade and, at 4/1 with Paddy Power, he looks the percentage call against rivals who may already have shown their hand. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Myna – 13/2 with William Hill
Jockey: Myla Coppins | Trainer: Tony Carroll | Form: 236144 | Rating: 64 | Topspeed: 53
Myna is not especially flashy, but she is solid in a race where solidity counts for plenty. Her recent form figures tell the story: she has been holding her level well, winning and placing in the right sort of company, and another honest effort looks very likely from this mark of 64. Stall 9 is not ideal around here, but if she can slot in without wasting ground she has the profile of the one most likely to pick up the pieces if the principals underperform. At 13/2 with William Hill, she looks a sensible each-way punt given her consistency and proven ability to run her race. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Ottoman is the win play at 4/1, with his recent return to form making him look the best value in the race. Myna is the each-way alternative at 13/2, simply because she brings the most reliable recent profile outside the obvious pair at the head of the market. Pureis King and Clipsham Noble are the main dangers, but neither looks overpriced.

19:45 – Samworth Brothers Handicap
Race Details: 5f | Class 5 | Going: 6.9) (watering) (Good to firm, good in places (goingstick) | | flat
This doesn’t look a deep Class 5 sprint, but it is a race with a very obvious shape. Startling arrives in the best recent form after finishing placed on his last two starts and is no surprise to see dominating the market, especially with Billy Loughnane booked. Bang On The Bell is the one most likely to make him work for it after a solid second last time, while Bibendum has enough back-class to get involved if bouncing back from a poor run. Over Spiced is on a workable mark but has to do more than he managed on his latest outing, and the remainder look up against it on recent evidence. In truth, this revolves around whether Startling is simply better treated than these.
Top Selections
1. Startling – 4/7 with Bet365
Jockey: Billy Loughnane | Trainer: John Wainwright | Form: 6P-832 | Rating: 80 | Topspeed: 65
He is very hard to oppose in a race lacking depth. The recent figures of 3 and 2 suggest he has found his level again, and an 80 mark gives him every chance in this company, particularly with a useful rider like Billy Loughnane taking over. There isn’t much juice in 4/7, but that tells its own story in a six-runner handicap where several of his rivals are either out of form or look fully exposed. He doesn’t need to improve much from his latest second to win this, and tactically he should get every chance from stall 6. Bet type: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Bang On The Bell – 3/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Oliver Carmichael | Trainer: J R Jenkins | Form: 785382 | Rating: 78 | Topspeed: 64
If you want to take on the favourite for a bit of value, this old boy makes the most appeal. He shaped well when second last time, and that was a reminder that he still retains enough dash to be competitive from this sort of mark. Drawn in stall 1 and carrying just 121, he could easily get the run of the race if breaking on terms, and in a small-field 5f handicap that matters plenty. At 3/1 he is no giveaway, but he does look the most solid alternative to the market leader and the obvious one for those looking for an each-way-style saver in a restricted field. Bet type: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Startling is the clear win play and looks the percentage call in a modest little sprint. Bang On The Bell is the only one I’d seriously consider against him, mainly on the strength of his latest run and a handy low draw. Bibendum is the danger if rediscovering older form, but he comes with more risk attached than the front two.

20:15 – Mark Carr Leicester Legacy Handicap
Race Details: 1m 2f | Class 6 | Going: 6.9) (watering) (Good to firm, good in places (goingstick) | | flat
This is only a six-runner Class 6, but it is not quite the penalty kick the market suggests. Pacific Glory heads the betting after three qualifying runs and is clearly expected to improve now handicapping over this longer trip, while Bradbury arrives on a hat-trick and has done little wrong in recent starts. Captain Cairney also has claims on the figures after a solid return, though the lack of a quoted price tempers enthusiasm slightly. Zooter has been knocking on the door without quite getting his head in front, and that makes him interesting if this turns tactical. In truth, it is a race likely decided by who improves most at 1m2f rather than established exposed handicap form, so there is a bit more intrigue here than the grade implies.
Top Selections
1. Pacific Glory – 11/10 with Paddy Power
Jockey: Duran Fentiman | Trainer: Tim Easterby | Form: 494 | Rating: 67 | Topspeed: 43
He is the obvious one, but not without substance. Pacific Glory has shown enough in three runs to think this opening mark of 67 is workable, and the step up to 1m2f looks a sensible move rather than a stab in the dark. Drawn in stall 1, he should get a handy trip in a race lacking depth, and this doesn’t look a demanding Class 6 by any means. Bradbury is the solid recent winner in the field, but Pacific Glory is the one with untapped upside and could easily prove better than his bare form. At 11/10 he is short enough, though still hard to oppose.
Bet: WIN
2. Zooter – 4/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Ashley Lewis | Trainer: Jack Jones | Form: 4-2534 | Rating: 71 | Topspeed: 38
Zooter makes more appeal than the bare recent figures might suggest. He has been thereabouts in better company than this and, although he is still a maiden, his mark of 71 gives him a serious chance if this race becomes a proper test rather than a sprint off the bend. The form string says he keeps finding one or two too good, but consistency counts for plenty in a weak little handicap and he does at least look dependable. At 4/1 with Bet365, he is the one that stands out as the value alternative to the favourite, especially if Pacific Glory turns out to be a shade short in the market on limited evidence.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Pacific Glory is the win play on the basis that handicaps and this longer trip should bring out the improvement his profile promises. For a bit of insurance, Zooter is the each-way punt at 4/1, as he brings solid enough form to the table and should be competitive in this grade. Bradbury is the obvious danger after back-to-back wins, while Captain Cairney also deserves respect if strong in the market.

20:45 – Dr T B Connors Memorial Handicap
Race Details: 1m | Class 5 | Going: 6.9) (watering) (Good to firm, good in places (goingstick) | | flat
This has thinned out into a small-field 3yo handicap and, on paper at least, it revolves around Pentonville, who arrives seeking the hat-trick after back-to-back wins and still looks on the upgrade for George Boughey. He sets the standard on recent form and the market has cottoned on. The question is whether anything can make him work for it. Napolian is probably the most interesting danger if bouncing back from a quiet reappearance, while Venturing has a bit less to prove than some after shaping with promise on handicap debut. Norcross Brow keeps knocking on the door without really suggesting he wants this strongly-run mile. It’s not the deepest Class 5 you’ll see, and the favourite is hard to get away from, but there is at least a case for taking him on for place purposes.
Top Selections
1. Pentonville – 4/5 with Paddy Power
Jockey: Billy Loughnane | Trainer: George Boughey | Form: -25211 | Rating: 78 | Topspeed: 57
Pentonville is the obvious one, but obvious for a reason. He’s progressed nicely with racing, arrives on a two-timer, and his mark of 78 still doesn’t scream that the assessor has him cornered. Billy Loughnane is an eye-catching booking in a race where tactical sharpness could matter plenty, and Boughey’s 3yos in these sorts of handicaps are usually placed to win. The bare Topspeed figure is not spectacular, but the profile is what matters here: he’s improving while several of these look exposed or have questions to answer. At 4/5 he isn’t exactly stealing money, but he does look the likeliest winner by some margin. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Napolian – 5/1 with Paddy Power
Jockey: Conor Whiteley | Trainer: David O’Meara | Form: 2334-8 | Rating: 73 | Topspeed: 59
If you want something against the jolly, Napolian makes more appeal than most. His juvenile form was solid rather than flashy, but he was running consistently in better-shaped contests than this and his reappearance eighth can be marked up a touch if he needed the outing. O’Meara’s runners often come forward for a run, and this mark of 73 gives him room to be competitive if he returns to the level of those 2s and 3s in his form figures. The wide draw in seven isn’t ideal in a tactical race, but in a field this small it shouldn’t be disastrous. Available at 5/1, he looks the sensible each-way punt behind the favourite. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Pentonville is the win play and the one they all have to beat; he’s the progressive sort in a race lacking depth. For those wanting a bit more value, Napolian is the each-way alternative if he steps forward from his comeback. Venturing is the other one worth respecting, but he still has more to prove than the O’Meara runner.
