I always try to find the value in a race. I analyse Handicaps carefully and most my selections will be at double figure odds. However the most important thing is to have fun making and listening or seeing your selection running. Winners are just a pleasurable bonus.

@34.00

Lose

-50

A chance is taken that Just A Girl could outrun her odds. She was outclassed in a class row at York on her last run but should have come on for that experience. She can have a second chance now being upped in trip. Each way possibilities.

25 EWNAP

@21.00

Lose

-50

With Tonal the clear favorite, the value is elsewhere. Kondratiev Wave is always of interest, but a chance is taken that Kodebreaker will bounce back. He has a reasonable record here with a course and distance win and six places and represents some each way value.

Hasiyna

Daily Racing

25 EW

@17.00

Win

15:57 3:57 Newmarket

Hibernate

Daily Racing

25 EW

@12.00

Lose

-50

Tough choice between Phone Tag and Hibernate. The latter is the selection because he is more consistent and the stable has hit form with recent winners. The outside draw is of concern, but he still has to be considered each way.

Mancero

Daily Racing

25 EW

@19.00

Lose

-50

Mancero won on his debut in France. He placed a distant second on his British debut, being 29 lengths behind the winner. He was pulled up latest and now returns after wind surgery. Could spring a surprise if fit and fully recovered.

25 EW

@29.00

Lose

14:20 2:20 Wetherby

Genbu

Daily Racing

25 EW

@29.00

Lose

-50

The French import Shooting is of interest. However, Genbu, who won over course and distance just a fortnight ago, is a likelier candidate. He placed third behind Ammes at Sedgefield, and while this is a much more competitive race, he still could progress further with the stable in excellent form.

14:12 2:12 Newmarket

Eternal Solace

Daily Racing

25 EW

@41.00

Lose

-50

Eternal Solace was not disgraced in a listed race at York which clearly showed she needed six furlongs. She followed it up with a recent win at Lingfield over six furlongs and could progress further in this more competitive race.

Lewisham Grove

Daily Racing

25 EW

@67.00

Win

305

Lewisham Grove could outrun his odds and hit the frame. He showed some promise on his second last run at Worcester, and while his stable has not produced a winner for a while, her runners can get close and hit the frame.

Parisiac

Daily Racing

25 EW

@10.00

Lose

-50

13:32 1:32 Down Royal

Ladies Well

Daily Racing

25 EW

@34.00

Lose

-50

Ladies Well is being upped in trip, but judged on her previous run, she is a likely stayer. She won in August at Ballinrobe over 2m 6 furlongs and could hit the frame.

13:25 1:25 Uttoxeter

Aim Straight

Daily Racing

25 EW

@19.00

Lose

-50

Daily Racing

25 EW

@41.00

Lose

-50

A speculative chance is taken on Crockham Heath of running well on his debut. He is a Sea The Moon colt trained by Andrew Balding. Owned by the Denford Stud, who has had a couple of winners recently, he could go well.

@67.00

Lose

-50

A chance is taken that Topsout will build on her third place at Hungerford at the beginning of the month. She was still twenty lengths behind the winner Crystal Spring, but it still marked a major improvement for her, and she could hit the frame.

Urban Dandy

Daily Racing

25 EW

@17.00

Win

Urban Dandy weakened in the last furlong at Newcastle a month ago. He was in great form earlier this year, and the extra month break may bring a revival. He placed five times from six runs over course and distance.

25 EW

@51.00

Lose

-50

Barneys Bay returns after a six-month absence. He has not impressed this season. Nevertheless, he has placed twice over course and distance, and with the help of Joanna Mason in the saddle, may hit the frame.

Daily Racing

25 EW

@67.00

Lose

-50

A speculative chance is taken on Potters Marmite, who is still a maiden. She showed some ability when placing 5th of 12 here in May, but that was over two miles. Her recent runs were over ten and twelve furlongs, so a step up in trip may help.

18:00 6:00 Southwell

Master Richard

Daily Racing

25 EW

@23.00

Win

Master Richard could bounce back after doing too much too soon at Newcastle at the beginning of the month. He led for most of the way but weakened towards the end of the six furlongs, finishing in tenth place. A previous course and distance winner, he could bounce back.

Perdy In Paris

Daily Racing

25 EW

@17.00

Win

From The Hip

Daily Racing

25 EW

@13.00

Win

360

From The Hip is the most exposed horse in the race. He has run well over six furlongs prior to his last race. Being dropped back in trip should help and he could hit the frame again from the inside stall.

Medyg

Daily Racing

25 EW

@17.00

Lose

Lose

-50

Beautiful Things is still a maiden, and she placed a distant 10th here three weeks ago. However, her best run was over course and distance over a year ago when she placed 2nd on heavy ground. Could surprise and squeeze into the frame.
