17:41 – Hayley Middleton Juvenile Hurdle (GBB Race)
Race Details: 2m | Class 4 | Going: Chase 7.2; hurdle 7.3) (watering) (rail movements (Good (goingstick) | | jumps
This is only a four-runner juvenile, but it is still an interesting little opener because the market has drawn a very clear line between the front pair and the other two. Tiny Riot brings the standout piece of hurdles form after making a winning start and sets the standard on the figures, while Vietnorm is the unknown quantity and could easily turn this into a proper match if taking to jumping at the first attempt. Cracking Anna at least has some experience and receives weight, but she needs to find improvement from her debut fourth, while Steel Fixer has plenty to prove after a pulled-up effort. In truth, this does not look a deep Class 4, and the race should be decided by whether Tiny Riot’s proven hurdle ability can fend off Vietnorm’s potential.
Top Selections
1. Tiny Riot – 4/6 with Bet365
Jockey: Tristan Durrell | Trainer: Dan Skelton | Form: 1 | Rating: 88 | Topspeed: 25
Tiny Riot is the obvious one, but sometimes the obvious one is simply the right one. Dan Skelton’s juvenile arrives here with the best completed hurdles form in the field after making a winning debut in this sphere, and that experience counts for plenty in small tactical races like this. An 88 rating is joint-top with Cracking Anna, but unlike that rival he has already shown he can get the job done over timber. Tristan Durrell knows the yard’s types well, and if this turns into a test of slick jumping and basic professionalism, Tiny Riot should have the edge. At 4/6 he is no giveaway, but he is still hard to oppose.
Bet: WIN
Betting Strategy
Keep it simple in a race of this size: Tiny Riot is the win bet and the most likely scorer. There is no each-way angle with only four runners and one place on offer. Vietnorm is the clear danger if he proves ready-made for hurdles, while Cracking Anna may be best of the rest without obviously threatening the favourite.

18:16 – Rase Vets Summer Party Novices’ Limited Handicap Hurdle
Race Details: 2m 7f | Class 5 | Going: Chase 7.2; hurdle 7.3) (watering) (rail movements (Good (goingstick) | | jumps
This looks a fairly ordinary Class 5 novice handicap hurdle on paper, but it is still a race with a clear shape. Brionywells arrives seeking a hat-trick after two wins and is the obvious one to beat despite a higher mark, while Newmill Getaway and Jessie Jump Jet bring solid, consistent placed form to the table over staying trips. Slack Alice is interesting as a lightly raced 5yo who shaped well last time and could still have a bit more to offer, especially with Sean Bowen booked. By contrast, a few others have questions to answer, notably Swingingonthesteel after a pull-up and Popa Rich after a fall. In truth, it is not a deep contest, and the one with momentum may simply prove strongest.
Top Selections
1. Brionywells – 6/5 with Bet365
Jockey: Nick Slatter | Trainer: David Killahena & Graeme McPherson | Form: 048-11 | Rating: 101 | Topspeed: 77
Brionywells is hardly a sexy price, but he is hard to oppose. Those last two wins suggest he has finally clicked, and there was substance to them rather than mere fluke in weak races. He has gone up in the weights, but a mark of 101 still does not look beyond him in a contest where several rivals are either exposed or arrive with recent mishaps next to their name. The staying trip clearly suits, and the yard has done well to find his level. At 6/5 he is short enough, but he is the one coming here with the strongest sense of purpose and progression. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Slack Alice – 9/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Sean Bowen | Trainer: Mickey Bowen | Form: 4583-3 | Rating: 95 | Topspeed: 95
Slack Alice makes more each-way appeal than most in this line-up. She is a 5yo with fewer miles on the clock than several of these and her latest third hinted that this sort of staying handicap could be where she starts to come into her own. The Topspeed figure of 95 catches the eye in the context of this race, and having Sean Bowen aboard is an obvious positive around a track where positive, efficient riding matters. She does not have the winning habit of Brionywells, but at 9/2 she looks the value alternative if the favourite underperforms or finds this rise in class and weight a bit more demanding. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Brionywells is the straightforward win play and makes most appeal as the runner with momentum in a modest race. For an each-way punt, Slack Alice looks the sensible option given her profile, rider and scope to improve over this trip. Newmill Getaway is the obvious danger on consistency, while Jessie Jump Jet is another who would not shock if he hit the frame again.

18:51 – Rebecca Brooks Handicap Chase
Race Details: 2m 3f | Class 5 | Going: Chase 7.2; hurdle 7.3) (watering) (rail movements (Good (goingstick) | | jumps
This is only a six-runner Class 5, but it revolves around a fairly obvious question: can anything get seriously close to Ask A Sainte? Olly Murphy’s mare arrives off a breakthrough chase win and the market has latched on accordingly, with Sean Bowen an eye-catching booking for a yard that tends to do well with this type. The opposition is headed by Get A Superstar, who also comes here on the back of a win and has the figures to make this more than a procession, while Prospect House is the solid, workmanlike sort who could nick a place if the principals underperform. It is not a deep race, and the favourite sets the standard, but there is just enough depth underneath to make the place angle interesting.
Top Selections
1. Ask A Sainte – 8/13 with Bet365
Jockey: Sean Bowen | Trainer: Olly Murphy | Form: 945-41 | Rating: | Topspeed:
Ask A Sainte is hard to oppose in a race of this nature. She got off the mark over fences last time and did it in the style of one who should be able to cope with a small rise in the weights, even though 12st is never a gift around here. Murphy’s runners are usually well placed in these lower-grade chases and Sean Bowen is exactly the sort you want aboard an uncomplicated front-end or handy type in a tactical six-runner contest. At 8/13 she is no hidden gem, obviously, but this looks a weak enough piece of opposition and she holds the most persuasive recent form. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Prospect House – 15/2 with Bet365
Jockey: William Maggs | Trainer: Peter Niven | Form: 3231-4 | Rating: 101 | Topspeed: 94
For an each-way alternative, Prospect House makes more appeal than some of the bigger prices because he usually runs his race and his profile is less patchy than a few of these. He signed off last season with a win, then returned with a respectable enough fourth, so there is no glaring fitness concern. His mark of 101 leaves him with something to find on the bare figures with Get A Superstar, but in a race lacking depth he looks the type to keep plugging when others have cried enough. Available at 15/2, he is the one I’d want on side for a place if the favourite proves too strong. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Ask A Sainte is the straightforward win play and the one most likely to justify market confidence. If you want something at a better price, Prospect House looks the sensible each-way punt in a race where reliability counts for plenty. Get A Superstar is the obvious danger after his latest win, but he is shorter than I’d want for a horse returning from a light profile.

19:26 – Bob And Babs Handicap Chase (GBB Race)
Race Details: 2m 5f | Class 4 | Going: Chase 7.2; hurdle 7.3) (watering) (rail movements (Good (goingstick) | | jumps
This looks a competitive little seven-runner handicap rather than a deep one, with a couple arriving with obvious momentum and several others carrying questions after poor latest efforts. Maximum Offers is the one the market has latched onto after back-to-back wins, and it is easy enough to see why given he is still only a 7yo and comes here with a workable racing weight despite top billing on ratings. Fringill Dike is the solid alternative if you want one with proven pace figures, while King Roly and Hurricane Bay both have the ability to go close if forgiving recent pulls-up. The problem with a few of these is trust: Doyouknowwhatimean and Okavango Delta have bits of old form, but not much recent reassurance. Tricky enough underneath, but the favourite sets the standard.
Top Selections
1. Maximum Offers – 6/4 with Bet365
Jockey: Gavin Sheehan | Trainer: Jamie Snowden | Form: 3431-1 | Rating: 129 | Topspeed: 102
He is hard to oppose. Jamie Snowden’s 7yo has done little wrong in recent starts, following up a win before the break with another success on his return, and that sort of profile is more appealing than most of these exposed rivals. The mark of 129 asks a fresh question, but he is carrying only 163lb and still looks the progressive sort in this line-up. Gavin Sheehan is a positive booking for a horse who seems to be thriving, and in a race where several rivals arrive off a pulled-up effort, backing the runner in form makes obvious sense. At 6/4 he is not a giveaway, but he still holds the strongest claims.
Bet: WIN
2. Fringill Dike – 7/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Sean Quinlan | Trainer: Jedd O’Keeffe | Form: 5544-6 | Rating: 127 | Topspeed: 127
He is the each-way angle in a race where plenty have questions to answer. Fringill Dike did not advertise his chance especially loudly with a sixth on his latest outing, but his earlier sequence of respectable efforts reads well enough in this company and that Topspeed mark of 127 is the best on offer here. Off the same rating as Hurricane Bay and King Roly, he appeals as the more dependable option, and Sean Quinlan aboard for Jedd O’Keeffe only adds to the appeal. At 7/2 with three places on offer, he looks the value against a short-priced favourite and should give you a proper run for your money if running to his better form.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Maximum Offers is the win play because he is the one arriving in form and still looks ahead of the assessor. Fringill Dike makes more appeal than the other alternatives for an each-way punt, especially with his strong Topspeed figure and a fair bit more reliability than some of these. King Roly is the obvious danger if bouncing back, while Hurricane Bay is not entirely dismissed despite that latest non-completion.

20:01 – Rase Veterinary Summer Party Handicap Hurdle
Race Details: 2m | Class 4 | Going: Chase 7.2; hurdle 7.3) (watering) (rail movements (Good (goingstick) | | jumps
This is only a four-runner handicap but it is not a bad little contest for the grade. Trust House brings the most obvious recent profile after winning twice before a solid runner-up effort, while Ip Up gets a handy chunk of weight and could make this tactical if allowed to bowl along. Kingston Sunflower is interesting on last season’s best form and has the pace figures to be competitive, though he was disappointing on his return, while Pigeon House returns from a layoff and needs to show he is ready to roll straight away. In a field this small, position and jumping rhythm will matter plenty, and that probably plays into the hands of the horse arriving here in the steadiest nick. It is not a deep race, but it does look a slightly trickier puzzle than the market may suggest.
Top Selections
1. Trust House – 4/5 with Betfair
Jockey: Sean Bowen | Trainer: Olly Murphy | Form: /511-2 | Rating: 124 | Topspeed: 89
Trust House is the percentage call and, in a race lacking depth, he is hard to oppose. Olly Murphy’s six-year-old looked a progressive sort when winning back-to-back starts and he resumed with a perfectly respectable second, which reads well enough in the context of this small-field event. He shares top weight with Pigeon House on 124 but arrives with fewer questions than most, and Sean Bowen is exactly the rider you want in a tactical affair around here. The Topspeed figure is not flashy, but this may come down more to professionalism and race sharpness than raw numbers. At 4/5, he is no giveaway, but he still sets the standard.
Bet: WIN
Betting Strategy
With only four runners, this is a win-only race and Trust House is the obvious play. He has the cleanest recent profile and looks the safest option in what could turn tactical. Ip Up is the main danger off a lighter weight, while Kingston Sunflower would be a threat if bouncing back sharply from his comeback run.

20:36 – Rase Equine Conditional Jockeys’ Handicap Hurdle
Race Details: 2m 4f | Class 5 | Going: Chase 7.2; hurdle 7.3) (watering) (rail movements (Good (goingstick) | | jumps
This looks a fairly ordinary Class 5 on paper, but it is not short on plausible angles. Little Ledgend brings the most solid recent profile after a string of placed efforts and is easy enough to see running his race again, while Bunker Bay arrives off a win and is clearly entitled to plenty of respect despite the market leaving little room for manoeuvre. Estacas is interesting after returning from a long absence with a much better effort than anything else in his recent record, and Knacker Trapper has the sort of consistent handicap form that keeps him in the argument. In a field of seven, tactical positioning and who settles best over this intermediate trip could be the key, because there is not a great deal between several of them on official figures.
Top Selections
1. Little Ledgend – 3/1 with Paddy Power
Jockey: Lewis Saunders | Trainer: Olly Murphy | Form: 54223- | Rating: 104 | Topspeed: 90
Little Ledgend is the percentage call. He signed off last season with three straight placed efforts, and that level of consistency counts for plenty in a race where a few of these still have questions to answer. An opening mark of 104 does not look harsh on that evidence, and an Olly Murphy runner in this sort of company always commands respect. He is not thrown in, but he looks the one most likely to give you an honest run for your money, and 3/1 is fair enough in a race lacking depth rather than quality. If he returns in the same nick, he holds strong claims of finally getting his head in front. Bet type tag: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Estacas – 7/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Luke Scott | Trainer: Dr Richard Newland & Jamie Insole | Form: 88/8-2 | Rating: 100 | Topspeed: 71
Estacas is the more interesting each-way play, especially after finishing second on his reappearance following a long spell off. Before that, his profile was patchy to put it kindly, but that latest run hinted that the Newland and Insole yard may have found the key to him. Off 100, he does not need to improve dramatically to get involved again, and this is not the deepest race he will ever contest. At 7/2 he is hardly a hidden gem, but in a seven-runner field with three places on offer he makes plenty of appeal as the one most likely to chase home the principals if not quite good enough to win. Bet type tag: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Keep it simple here: Little Ledgend is the win bet because his profile is the most solid and he looks the likeliest to run to form. Estacas makes the each-way option in a race where his comeback second gives him a definite chance of hitting the frame again. Bunker Bay is the obvious danger after that latest success, while Knacker Trapper is another who should not be far away.
