A race where nothing stands out at shorter prices. My attention is invariably drawn to horses who've had 3 starts, get a handicap mark, then step up in trip. Mechie yard, I know nothing about, only had one winner since 2023. But this 3-year-old gelding is bred for this trip and could well get into the places with emphasis on stamina on this ground. At 49/1, bigger in places with 4 places up for grabs, it looks overpriced. Highest rated here at 55, his opening mark of 51 tells you all you need to know in terms of the quality of this contest.

Didn't get the best of runs last time at Brighton. Best form in a while was when third here prior off a mark of 49 when 7/2 JF. Weighted to reverse form with second Chica, yet he's nearly 4 times the price on this occasion. And with Ashley claiming a further 5 pounds and a dropping mark, he's looking well handicapped if replicating that form here. Winner of the race at Brighton, where he was seventh last time, had been franked by McTed winning again at Wolverhampton yesterday.

This looks to concern three at the head of the betting. Although not the best of draws in 4 and lacking a look sound here, the way Ginger has been staying on in his races, this step up in trip should suit. Finished runner-up in last two starts meeting trouble over 500m. With both dogs on either side slowly away, he could cut loose early and be a tough nut to crack. I'm surprised he's not the favourite as I envisaged he would be around the 6/4 mark. I feel we're getting a little value. Looks like the best bet on the card in terms of value.

Parker weighed in twenty pounds heavier than Wardley, although he's the overwhelming favorite. I'm taking Wardley to cause the upset and get a unified title shot against Usyk. He's undefeated in 19 fights, 18 by way of KO. He's invariably underrated in terms of experience, reach, etc. He's only had 72 rounds of fighting compared to Parker, who had 240 odd in 33 bouts. But if Wardley fights smart, I can see him tiring his opponent as the fight wears on. Wardley has a slight height and reach advantage in what should be an explosive fight. 3/1 decent value.

I'm really hoping DANNICK misses this engagement. He's a winner waiting to happen, but he needs blinkers and a mile. He is entered at Leicester next week for the first time over a mile trip. Missed engagement yesterday in favor of this race, which is deeper. Ignore last run, no sort of ride for an inexperienced jockey. He has his quirks, tends to miss the break as he did last time, but prior looked like they'd ironed out that kink. Needs to be cajoled into his races and played late. I envisaged 5/1, so at 15/2 we're getting the value. Be amazed if he runs here instead of Leicester, which looks a penalty kick. But in case he does, at these odds got to put him up. His price collapsed 10/1 into 5/1, he could not win. He's been well supported every run this season, be surprised if this price holds up. On several lines of form, he's good enough to be placed at the very least. First-time blinkers could be key. The rain that's falling will make this a test of stamina. 4 places up for grabs, each way bet with little downside.

This is hugely competitive. Long Draw improved throughout last season. On checking stats, he started out off a mark of 100, running off 134 come his last race when third. Only Murphy's yard is on a rich vein of form with a 70% strike rate in the last week. Not sure the handicapper has caught up with him yet. He's been nibbled in the betting as soon as the markets opened. The ground's in his favor.

Stable form has to be taken on trust with a few of these stables as a number are having their first run. That's not the case with INNOX ALLEN, whose yard has been amongst the winners of late. Highly improved performance at Perth when last seen, seeming to appreciate forcing tactics. Jumped with aplomb in the main. That was only his second run over fences, so there's ample scope for improvement. Envisaged him vying for favouritism but gobsmacked to see 11/1 with 4 places up for grabs. I can only see this price contracting.

None of the 9 runners can be discounted. But JCH runners are performing well currently, and this one was a rare well-supported debutant on debut at Salisbury, but he ran poorly before weakening. Based on the market, a great deal better was expected. He was 6/4 that day, and with that experience, he should come on for the run. This race is not much better than that, yet today we're getting 11/2. I envisaged around 4/1, so 11/2 is value. He has a fitness/experience edge over the favourite.

Won at 40/1 at Bath, came out of nowhere, but when asked by stewards for the improved performance, step up in trip was given along with settling better. This mare getting 17 pounds off the top weight and favorite, taking into account each rider's claim, that might be a tall ask. Apprentice takes over from David Egan, hoping that Isobelle rides her prominently with stamina on this ground assured on that last run. She needs to prove that was no fluke. She's upped 6 pounds (a pound with Isobelle's claim). I envisaged her around 7/1 at 11/1, getting some decent value.
