Best Bets: Sunday 8 September

Itsalladream (Trap 4) - 12.04 Belle Vue 

Itsalladream’s (Trap 4, 12.04) chances will often hinge on luck-in-running, boxing napping clearly his Achilles’ heel based on just a handful of competitive starts in Manchester to date. However, now Terri Leechs’ charge appears to have found his feet, his strong running style has very much been in evidence (failed by a short head last time). Still young, with time to improve his exploits on final time stand up to close scrutiny and granted the breaks he can prove strongest.

Difficult Day (Trap 2) - 12.48 Belle 

Prior to scoring over the short 6-bend trip of 590 metres on his penultimate start, Difficult Day (Trap 2, 12.48) hadn’t been shaping up too badly in this grade of A5, that despite hitting trouble spots on a number of occasions. That will always be his problem given his slow starts, yet he does boast a power-packed finish and granted racing room, is better than today’s rivals by our estimations. Tucking in on the rails early will aid his cause this afternoon and, if the gaps appear from halfway, Nigel Saunders’ charge can emerge on top.  

Central Cloud (Trap 2) - 13.51 Belle Vue   

Our final selection comes at 13.51 and it may be Central Cloud (Trap 2) can make it 2 wins from 3 starts following his Belle Vue switch. An experienced sort, he left himself with plenty to do on the back of a missed break 7 days ago but was noted keeping on well to grab third. His early pace had previously looked a useful asset and back in the blue jacket, a fast break can see him boss matters from lid rise.
