Best Bets: Saturday 22 May

Le Reve (Trap 4) - 19.26 Sheffield 

On the back of an encouraging trial LE REVE (Trap 4, 19.26) did all the hard work to get to the lead, only to be reeled in late on in this grade 5 days ago. However, she was rather unlucky to bump in to one in resurgent form, who also had plenty of back class to call upon. In truth, tonight’s contest looks a weaker one and provided she escapes the attentions of Slaneyside Rina (Trap 3) early doors, all looks set fair for a big run.

Lil Kim (Trap 5) - 20:12 Sheffield

LIL KIM’s (Trap 5, 20.12) form has been rather up and down following a win in late March, meeting with seven consecutive defeats in A4 company. However, the balance of her form reads well in the context of tonight’s affair and her make up in orange looks a good one, not least outside one who may well head to the rails on the run up, so we’re hopeful she can capitalise and maintain her 100% record in the class of A5.  

Honey Willow (Trap 3) - 20:27 Sheffield

Sheffield’s 20.27 looks a competitive affair on paper but it may pay to side with an eye-catcher from last week in the shape of HONEY WILLOW (Trap 3) to come out on top. Runner-up on 2 of her last 4 starts, she met with trouble-in-running when making her challenge 7 days ago, ultimately finishing fourth but only beaten 1 length. She may have to pay second fiddle out of the boxes but isn’t reliant on leading and she can assume control from halfway.
