Best Bets: Tuesday 27 August

STUDENT PRICE (Trap 3) in the 18.55 at Sheffield

STUDENT PRINCE is clearly a pup with a bright future judged on his opening exploits, his stamina for a strong 500-metre trip clearly his biggest asset. Trouble-in-running hindered his chance in A2 Company last time, yet with potential for a good deal more to come, he is fancied to come out on top in a puppy race lacking a great deal of depth.

TAYLORS WOOD (Trap 1) in the 19.09 at Sheffield

TAYLORS WOOD must confirm his stamina for the taxing 660-metre trip but his strong finishing exploits over 4 bends suggest it will be within reach and we fancy the son of Taylors Sky to come out on top. Far from devoid of early, his make-up on the rails looks ideal and a bold front-running bid rates a distinct possibility.

BURKIES ARMY (Trap 6) in the 20.44 at Sheffield

Sharpys Pluto has been in tremendous order over the 660-metre distance of late and is highly respected in the 20.44, yet he takes a significant drop in trip and it may pay to side with BURKIES ARMY. A runner-up over C&D last time, his passage through was far from ideal, crowding at the start not doing him any favours. However, he still emerged with credit to go down by only a neck. His draw in stripes may not be a bad thing judged on the make-up of this race and a slick break can see him play a lead role once.
