Any rain would be a bonus for this heavy ground winner over this extended 7-furlong distance. However, he won last time out here over 6 furlongs on good ground and does not seem too going dependent. Shame he has not retained the services of the seven-pound claimer who won on him that day, but he remains near a career-low mark. Appears to like Ffos Las, which with its long stretch requires some special resilience to get home.

Returned to form over a stiff 6 furlongs at Pontefract only 9 days ago. Has course and distance winning form here at Catterick over 7 furlongs. Starshot looks like the chief danger.

Jel Pepper

@4.00

-50

This type of event pitches two year olds of vastly different ability together. Focus therefore on the two with the form in group contests. Jel Pepper crosses the Irish Sea for this and means business. A low draw may not be the best starting place but class alone puts him in the front rank early on from where he may move centrally. The filly, Green Sense, carries a penalty for a group win and gives four pounds away to the selection. That may swing it Jel Pepper's way.

Not unusual for high draws to have an edge at Naas in the sprints. The selection is up 8 pounds for a nearly 3-length win over this course and distance. Failed to win from this new mark last time out but did encounter traffic problems, so is worthy of a second chance, hopefully on good going this time.

297

First run in a handicap for this "eyecatcher" in an earlier run. Form suggests may need further, but that could be misleading as the sire was a sprinter so hopefully remaining at a mile will prove okay. Saffie Osborne is a good jockey booking, and three of the fancied horses are drawn low which I think is a disadvantage, whereas Princess Mia is middle to high in stall 6.

Closely matched with the likely favourite, Joltin, on previous run. And while Joltin was on debut there and will improve, so can the selection, Lucia Molly, who is available at a much better price.

Beaten just a short head in listed company earlier this week, traffic delayed her in making her run on that occasion. Must have every chance here in similar conditions.

15:00 Dundee v Hibernian

Only Dundee will know why they jettisoned a fine manager who kept them in the Premier, and I fear the worst for them given that level of decision-making at the top. Oppose Dundee for now.

A neck second over hurdles only 10 days back. This course and distance winner returns in fine fettle to the flat after 600-plus days away. Worth a throw of the dice at this price.

Falkirk joined the big boys' league and may be in for a trip back to earth after promotion. Experienced Dundee United players will be taking time off from research and development (ongoing tax case) to try their hand at football.

Some of the recent winning form on offer here was on a softer surface so the way may be open for a longer priced winner. Nimble Nasher is in his first handicap and can come on for his seasonal debut when beaten only a couple of lengths.

Second place at York over this distance on soft going looks the stand out relevant form here. The draw is not normally deemed important on the July course but my statistics do suggest high numbers have an edge on today's ground over seven furlongs. That also counts in the favour of the selection.

This improving three year old may be slumming it in a handicap before moving up in class. The Haggas stable has already started today with early winners and is clearly in form.

Ross County are likely to have kept enough premier league "nous" and talent to push them into contention in this division and can start by out-classing Airdrie.

15:00 Kelty Hearts v Inverness CT

Inverness CT

50 WIN

@1.75

Win

Inverness started the season on minus 5 points due to financial fouls, yet are as short as 11/8 to win this division. That will require a brisk start, and some late signings will be available to help the cause.

Livingston retain the services of the same manager who kept them in the Premier League for so long on their last visit. Expect he will set them up to be defensively solid again in this division. That makes a draw quite probable.

Preference for middle draws over the six at Hamilton recently and Northern Ticker just fits. May have been laid out for this, with one run this season for which he must improve. Could be the proverbial handicap blot if improving on two year old form which included a listed third. Good to soft looks ideal with any extra rain as a bonus. Mulrennan is his usual jockey and couldn't be improved on. The Dods stable has moved into form with half a dozen winners in the last fortnight. All good.

First time in a handicap and with a pedigree that suggests good to soft or even more rain would suit. Going up in distance should also suit as her mare has a 20-furlong listed soft ground win in Germany, beating a Mark Prescott horse by a short head in her back catalogue.

Labelled an "eye-catcher" on the first of his three runs, Impulse Buy is running in his first handicap. Hampered early and making no show last time out, which is good for the odds today. This is a very average class five event just waiting for an improver to come out of the pack.

Several of the fancied runners here are drawn in double figures but the winner is much more likely to come from a single figure draw. The Johnson stable has moved into good form and the addition of a visor may give Qitaal the help required to win this from stall 2. Joanna Mason is an excellent jockey booking.

Ready Winner over course and distance last time out. Drops in grade but carries a lot more weight as a result, despite only being raised 5 pounds in the handicap ratings. Handy mid draw works well over this trip at Chester. Lightly raced and probably capable of coping with the handicapper's reassessment.

I favor lower numbers on good to firm over 5 furlongs at York. Protest Rally, whom I saw win at Musselburgh earlier this season, breaks well and can pick it up on the inside rail towards the conclusion.

Fast improving Ghaiyya will probably put his stamina to good use and attempt to make all here before moving to even further than this 12 furlongs. The Johnson stable is in good form.

Tea Set's recent second place over course and distance looks good in the context of this race. He faces a lot fewer opponents today and is the value against two at shorter odds that do not stand out.

"Kept on well" is a fairly typical comment about the selection's finishing over two and a half miles, so we can be optimistic that today's three miles is well worth a try. Course winner last time out and suited by today's going.

Pull Again Green revived to win at Worcester last time out and remains on a useful handicap mark. Generally been running over three miles recently but has won over two and a half before. With YCCS Portocervo likely to take a lead and get on with it, we can be hopeful that the selection's stamina will come in useful up the home straight.

Has rarely run on soft ground, but has won on it as a two year old. Two runs back was a comfortable winner over Hamilton's stiff nine furlongs so should manage ten furlongs at Ayr. Excellent young jockey engaged and the stable had a winner last Monday. Wide draw not significant over this trip. Interesting at the price.

Kats Bob made all at York and quickly moved from a mid-stall to the inside, beating home draws one and two, who were placed. So he successfully made his own favoured draw there, but today, drawn wide, he may find the standside rail easy to reach and could lead all the way along that rail in a repeat from just three pounds higher in the handicap ratings.
