Hide AdThe £7,250 Sky Sports Racing Sky 415 Handicap (6.30pm) over six furlongs is one of the highlights on the card. Beauty Choice represents the in-form Charlie Fellowes who recorded a gutsy success at Chepstow on his most recent start. He showed a good attitude on that occasion and a 3lb rise looks very fair for a gelding who also has form on Town Moor having finished second at the track last term.
Star Prize represents the in-form Nigel Tinkler and seeks to back up a smooth win at Bath over the minimum distance. Tinkler excels with his sprinters and is operating at an 8% strike-rate in the last fortnight. Colouring is a fascinating contender for Ed Walker. Smart on the All-Weather during the winter, this is her first start on turf since disappointing on her debut and she is of interest along with Intrinsic Bond who should bounce back from a below-par effort at Catterick last time out.
The £7,250 Free Tips Daily On Attheraces Handicap (7.00pm) is run over a mile and is another interesting event. Roger Varian is operating at an 18% strike-rate in the last fortnight and Hibernian Warrior makes plenty of appeal for the Newmarket handler. Narrowly beaten on the All-Weather at Lingfield last season, this looks a perfect race for the son of War Front and he could take some stopping. The chief opposition looks to come from Turn On The Charm who was a good third over course and distance in June and should take a big step forward from that run.
Others to mention include Hlaitan who was an excellent third in a competitive event over a mile at Newbury earlier this month and True Believer for Mark Johnston who has filled the placings on two runs this season, including when a neck second at Doncaster last month.
