Best Bets: Friday 17 May

Charlies Boy (Trap 2) in the 19:33 at Romford

CHARLIES BOY (Trap 2, 19.33) had little go right on his latest outing, a stumbled start essentially preventing him from getting competitive. However, he was noted doing good late work that day, doing well to finish 2 ¼ lengths third. Crucially, he can break far better and a better break can see him in a much better light.

Galloping Moon (Trap 6) in the 20:38 at Romford

All things considered GALLOPING MOON (Trap 6, 20.38) seems to handle his first look at a track fairly well, so we’re hopeful she can quickly make her mark around the tight contours of Romford. Kevin Hutton’s charge has some strong form to her name and in a race lacking depth over this intermediate 6-bend trip, she is fancied to make her presence felt.

Union Jack (Trap 4) in the 21:26 at Romford

UNION JACK (Trap 4, 21.26) has been in tremendous form since the turn of the year and, on the back of a comfortable success 7 days ago, he is fancied to strike again. His early pace is his most potent weapon and with sound claims of blazing the trail at the head of affairs again, we’re hopeful he can enhance his fine C&D record.
