Best Bets: Thursday 19 October

Robertstown Star (Trap 4) - 14.59 Swindon

We head to Swindon initially this afternoon and ROBERTSTOWN STAR (Trap 4, 14.59) looks to hold sound claims of building on an encouraging C&D debut on these shores recently. Impressing with his trial exploits at home track Perry Barr, the son of Magical Bale remains low-mileage as a July 21’ whelp and we’re happy to side with him to take another step forward.

Droopys Glaze (Trap 4) - 15.34 Swindon

The Blunsdon Maiden Stayers features our next selection at Swindon and another Perry Barr raider, DROOPYS GLAZE (Trap 4, 15.34) could just be worth chancing on the back of a promising effort at this track latest. A strong-running sort, he promises to do better again with that sighter under his belt and with a clear run, he’s fancied to be finishing strongly off the final 2 bends and may well have enough to land this.

Ballydoyle View (Trap 5) - 18.28 HoveBALLYDOYLE VIEW (Trap 5, 18.28) arrives on a losing run of six but that shouldn’t detract from what have been some solid efforts of late, not least when runner-up in open company seven days ago. Certainly not devoid of early pace, an ease in to A2 class rates an obvious plus for the son of Lenson Bocko and with a clear run, he can capitalise.
