Best Bets: Thursday 6 June

SWIRLING STREAM (Trap 6) in the 14:27 at Sheffield

Bet number one arrives in Sheffield's six-bend handicap at 14:27, with SWIRLING STREAM expected to make massive inroads early. 17 metres separate the field early, but Swirling Stream isn’t far off Open class over 660m and is no slouch out of the boxes, so he could be very handy by the fourth bend in this.

EXPENSIVE HOBBY (Trap 5) in the 14:47 at Sheffield

At the other end of the distance spectrum, EXPENSIVE HOBBY has a clear edge on the clock in the D3 at 14:47 and following a brief spell off the track this spring, she should be back to peak fitness now having found only one too good last week.

RUTTMAN DYNAMO (Trap 3) in the 19:54 at Monmore

There’s top -level graded action at Monmore this evening, with RUTTMAN DYNAMO fancied to make all in the 19:54 contest. The selection hasn’t been operating at this very best in recent weeks, but when he gets it right at the boxes, is capable if building up a commanding lead in this company.
