Profit is the aim and the first principles applied to all my selections are time, class, weight, trainer and jockey ratings. Normal minimum price is 2/1 but a good bet can turn up at any price. Invariably win bets, rarely EW.

Not many winners in the field and not many recognised riders. Simon Walker must be an old man by now but he still gets on the most fancied animals in the amateur races. This is another live chance and the other Ellison runner is not without hope either.

Hopefully the change of stable works the oracle. Laura Pearson has had a chequered career so far and usually finishes last on the Owen runners. I suspect the trainer has seen enough of her to know her potential as a rider and she won't always be on the no-hopers. This one may not turn the tide today but watch this space. The horse has tumbled down the weights and the trainer has had some impressive results with animals worse handicapped than this one.
