2:45 Wincanton Tips

At The Oche has had four second places and a win in his last six runs and should go well again for point rider Amber Jackson-Fennell, riding for the Twiston-Davies stable.

His most recent performance resulted in a commendable 3rd-place finish at Taunton 25 days ago, finishing behind two future winners after a break. He is expected to be sharper now following his return and has the potential to put on a bold show tomorrow. Competing off the same rating, he appears to be a strong bet at reasonable odds.

The amateur jockey on board this one in this amateurs' race is certainly better than most of the others, with six wins in his last 40 rides. The horse has slipped to a very attractive mark now. The real key is that they are trying around 3 miles with the horse for the first time. If you look at his style of running, you'd have to say there's every chance he will improve for the step up in trip, so the 14/1 looks terrific each-way value.

Striking A Pose ran a good race in a tough Class 3 at Ascot. After being pulled up on two starts prior to that, this was a good sign of a return to form. Now back below his last winning mark and dropped in class, the 10-year-old is racing at a track he has won at before. He is 3 lb lower than his last winning mark and the rider (who is 1/4 for this yard with two frame finishes) gets a 7 lb claim. Likes to be prominent, and off today's weights could make all.
