Another Crouch ride, going for Kimeko here. I very nearly selected Live Another Day, but can be very keen and can see the duel up front between these two with Kimeko outstaying the Stuart Williams horse. Post Rider the saver if the pace falls apart.

Making this one the NAP today. Has run 3 solid races all at 6f. Has gone off quick and not lasted home, so suspect this drop in trip will do the trick for the Cox runner. Hector Crouch up, big run expected.

Off spin the pick here off bottom weight. Form is okay, but been running in half-decent races against some good horses. Comes here today off 68 and can see it running in the early 70s. Add on the allowance and a good chance. The Prescott horse the obvious danger and Forest Caper well-bred.

Argentine Tango has run some solid races already, and I expect David Allan to try and run the life out of the race. The Irish raider is a deserving favorite, but I've gone for the value at nice odds.

Surprised to see this one at such a big price. The top two at the weights deserve to be at the top of the betting, and the Irish horse Sam Xpress could be one of them. But with Gale up, a drop in trip, good breeding, and the yard in okay form, it's worth a punt.

Playing this win only in a 7 runner field. The two I fancy are the selection and Rajak. Both are well-bred horses, and I will be placing a solid saver on Rajak. Both are largely friendless, but both have plenty of scope.

Dodds has 2 horses in this one, and I'm taking the bigger priced and younger horse. With a win already under his belt this season, the 3-year-old weight allowance, and also the 5lb claimer, I can see this running well.

Looking at this race, I don't think there is much between the selection and the favorite, other than the trainer's name. The ground should be in our favor. I feel that Rosso will want some cut before running true.

Short price favorite, but for good reason. From a powerful yard, it ran a really good race on debut, beaten by a Cox horse with the third winning and running to a 90. This should be straightforward with some low standard opposition.

Handicap debut and very well related to horses with soft ground form. Has shown nothing so far, but at bottom weight, on the soft, against an even money favorite that doesn't look that solid, worth an each-way play.

Small each-way bet on this, which looks like a tight little race. The four I fancied to outrun their odds are the top three in the market, then the selection. So, at the odds, it's worth a small bet. Well related and falling down the weights and a change of scenery.

Spent some time looking at this one. It comes down to 4 horses, and with odds on offer, it's too hard to turn these down. Spencer has some okay horses and is running well. This has some decent siblings who handle the ground. Last run can be ignored, and I can see this one running well over its mark, thrown in with the allowance. Let's see.

Filey Beach is very well-bred and takes a step back in trip here today. Ruth Carr has plenty of horses running over the 50 lb mark at the moment, so I think this one could have a good chance today.

This looks like another battle of the 3-year-olds with the weight allowance. The strongest of these looks to be War Howl, who has strong form, and with Doyle up, I'm expecting a big run. I did like Hieronymous, but so badly drawn. However, at 28/1, it's worth a saver just in case.
