Best Bets: Thursday 20 August

BLUEBELL HANNAH (Trap 1) - 20:27 Newcastle

BLUEBELL HANNAH is poised for a big run back in the red jacket in this A6 contest. She'd been in fine form in this grade with three runner-up efforts, not doing anything wrong in defeat, before finding heaps of trouble last Saturday. This looks a good opening for her to regain the winning thread.

BALLYMAC PICHU (Trap 4) - 21:01 Newcastle 

BALLYMAC PICHU went down agonisingly last week and can gain compensation in this contest. The prolific Belle Vue winner is back at the top of his game, leading from pillar to post when landing a similar event at the end of July, and it was a promising bitch of Angela Harrison's that nailed him late on seven days ago. Another big run looks assured.

KENEDY (Trap 1) - 21:16 Newcastle 

KENEDY looks the answer to this card closer. He's been running well from the one box, landing a punt eight days ago before finding plenty of trouble, but still grabbing third in a stronger heat on Saturday. There appears to be less on his plate this evening and he stands out.
