Best Bets: Thursday 13 August

CANAL VIEW TYSON (Trap 4) - 14:04 Sheffield

CANAL VIEW TYSON had his Belle Vue career cut short on the back of track closure, yet in truth the son of Greenwell Hulk looked capable of making his mark in A4 grade, hitting the frame on numerous occasions. Unable to figure on Sheffield debut, Peter Moore’s charge showed more when two lengths third on his latest start 12 days ago. His make up in the black jacket looks a good one this afternoon and a big run can be anticipated to open his account on these shores.

LAGILE RIDGE (Trap 3) - 15:09 Sheffield

LAGILE RIDGE let his supporters down on many occasions but highlighted what he was capable of when seizing an early lead last time, sustaining a strong gallop to win comfortably by three lengths. Crucially, his claims of gaining an early lead look crystal clear, particularly drawn outside a pair well known for box kipping. Further progress is also not beyond the realms of possibility now he’s off the mark and we’re hopeful of a bold follow up bid.

CHOSEN FLAME (Trap 4) - 21:16 Newcastle

Our final selection on Thursday comes in Newcastle’s 21:16 with CHOSEN FLAME fancied to come out on top. In truth, the son of Droopys Roddick looked unfortunate not to get around the first bend last time, but was noted keeping on. We suspect him to turn handy and allow his strong running style to come in to play from the ¾ point.
