3:40 Wetherby Tips

A big run from the 4yo four weeks ago after coming off a seven-month break. Beaten by just a short head in a 12-runner handicap and clear of the rest. He can improve for the run and now drops into a low-grade 0??'55 rated handicap. Previous form does suggest that he'll be more suited to this quicker ground.

Sent off favourite when a neck runner-up over 6 furlongs in an amateur's race at Redcar last time out. The more experienced hands of Clifford Lee in the saddle could help him get his head in front today.

Only one win from 28 starts and from 8 on the grass. However, he won a handicap off 77, going up to 82 as a two-year-old, and that has proved to be beyond him. That mark is now down to only 50, which looks much more realistic.

This one from an in-form yard looks very well handicapped now on old form. With the yard having a winner recently, he looks great value to be there at the finish.

Newyorkstateofmind has been tumbling down the ratings for some time, having won off a rating of 63 in September 2024, and now runs off a lowly 47. She ran a decent race on her penultimate start at Catterick just over a month ago when taking second at the finish. The slight step up in trip could suit if she repeats that effort. She was placed over this course and distance around this time last year. A chance in an open race and worth risking at the price.
