The Primary Engine Target - Character Testing (11/1): An outstanding tactical candidate. He has a highly responsive price-contraction history on his record, having finished a close second two starts back. Carrying the card's top weight of 11st 12lb, his naturally prominent racing style prevents any traffic complications. An elite 0.80 average lengths-beaten record under this load class awards him a premier 118.40 Omni Score.

He often catches the eye with how he travels and went well for a long way at Southwell last time. They did have some rain that day, which may have scuppered his chance given how keen he is. A 36-day break suggests that they have been working on something and I'm convinced he has a race in him.

The pace map is the key to unlocking this race. We are anticipating an end-to-end gallop, which perfectly suits his preferred tactical setup while actively hindering the market principals who historically require a late sprint off a slow pace. He is dropping into a highly winnable grade and brings a significant underlying class edge derived from his Flat ability, making his current handicap mark look incredibly lenient. At this price with four places on offer, the structural each-way value is outstanding.

'Colinski faced a much tougher task last time than he does today. After being held up at the back, and the whole field allowing the two market principals to steal a lead, he emerged from the pack late and was nearest at the finish, behind much higher-rated horses than he faces today. He moves into a novice handicap now and gets a 4 lb weight-for-age allowance. That, coupled with the rider's claim, makes his mark in this very competitive race. He has ability and a change of gear, making this race a winning opportunity for connections. Can be backed EW at double-figure odds with a 4-place payout at Bet365.'

Granny B is on a handy mark and returns to a trip and ground that should suit. At big odds, she's capable of outrunning her price and could surprise if rediscovering her best form.
