5:30 Yarmouth Tips

State Of Madness had been placed 4 times in his first 14 starts but took advantage of his lowest handicap mark when winning at Brighton earlier this month on debut for Charlie Clover. He was backed into joint favorite and won easily by 3.5 lengths. Up 5 lbs, he followed up winning by 4 lengths back at Brighton last Thursday. He has a 5 lbs penalty here, but in his current form, that is unlikely to stop him from gaining the hat trick.

Usual front runner and tried to make all over a mile here last time out in Class 4 company. May find this Class 6 and the drop back to 6 furlongs more appropriate for those front running tactics.

State Of Madness will start as a short favorite here. But Amerachi also won last time out and will be there if the favorite fails to live up to expectations.

Been flying this year with form figures of 1122 in the last four races under jockey Langley. With only a pound difference, can't bet against him going one better again.

The hat-trick seeking State Of Madness is a worthy favourite, but there is little value in his very short odds. There's plenty of each way value to be had, especially with some firms betting each way five places. Bet 365 is one such, and their fourteen to one about Wrath Of Hector looks interesting. He arrives in form, having been beaten only a head last time out, and has finished out of the frame only twice from eight runs over today's course and distance, winning three times. Decent mark only one pound above his last course and distance success.

Has not won on turf since 2019 which is slightly off putting, however did run well in a class 4 handicap @ Chester Lto and is going in this class 6 off a 6lb lower mark, so is very nicely handicapped here. Good apprentice back up taking off 3lb and shrewd trainer is best here with his 4yo plus last 5 seasons @ 12 percent, making current 33/1 worth Ew consideration in the race.

Porfin has not been great this year with all runs being on the AW, but did win at 7f back in January off a 46. Only last year was his last win on turf in a C6 off a 50 here, which I think makes him worth an EW 5P with a mark of 47 today.
