Best Bets: Monday 27 July

SALACRES BADGER (Trap 6) - 18:41 Nottingham

SALACRES BADGER was clearly not himself when not completing towards the back-end of May but proved he still has plenty to offer when runner-up in A5 class six days ago. In truth, Peter Harnden’s charge usually operates at a higher level (last two victories gained in A4 company) and with sound claims of leading on the wide outside, it’s feasible to expect a bold display.

BIGWOOD ECLIPSE (Trap 1) - 18:59 Nottingham

BIGWOOD ECLIPSE has yet to taste success since lockdown but in truth hasn’t really had the rub of the green in recent starts, crowding holding him back when four lengths fourth seven days ago. Boasting a good record in the grade of A5, he can turn handy on the rails and put up a bold showing in a race lacking in unexposed sorts.

COMEOUT KIPPER (Trap 2) - 19:41 Yarmouth 

COMEOUT KIPPER arguably finds Yarmouth’s 462-metre trip at the limit of her stamina, yet in truth she’s still very much in the infancy of her career as an October 18’ whelp. Despite meeting with a two-and-a-half length defeat last time, her exploit on the clock was her best yet and, with sound claims of seizing an early lead again, we’re hopeful she can have enough in reserve with the prospect of a little more to come.
