7:10 Salisbury Tips

Two wins from only seven career starts both on the AW but has matched those ratings on the grass, very strong support in the betting this morning.

Won well on the all-weather in a Lingfield novice in December. Up in trip and making handicap debut. Has a decent chance.

Three Socks On Has the encouraging win and place figures but they were achieved on synthetic surfaces and they have yet to be matched on turf . Spirit Of Athene won the last of three runs but all last season and, again, on synthetics. Whether she's ready to go after a long break is a guess too . Shirawaka didn't run last season and began this season with 3 poor runs on synthetics then improved slightly for the switch to turf but was still average. Came good next time when stepping back to today's 1m 2 f at Bath and beat 12 rivals almost 3 lengths comfortable which suggests they have her optimum conditions now and that win wold have still occurred with today's 5 pound penalty.

I would imagine that we will see a much better run tonight now in handicaps and back on fast going this one drops down in grades and should get off the mark .
