Flagrant Delitiep - 14:50 Wincanton
Smart Stat: 30% - Harry Cobden's strike rate at Wincanton
Harry Cobden tends to operate at a strike rate around the 21% mark but that increases to 30% at Wincanton. One horse who has contributed to that excellent strike rate is Flagrant Delitiep, who won over course and distance under Cobden last season. Flagrant Delitiep has been out of form this season but he goes especially well around Wincanton and he will have plenty of support from the saddle.
Smart Stat: £198.50 - Jane Chapple-Hyam's profit to a £1 level stake with debutants
Jane Chapple-Hyam posts an astonishing level-stake profit with her debutants, which suggests they are usually clued-up and rarely short on fitness. Her newcomer at Lingfield, Em Kay Jay, has attracted support ahead of his debut in the 5f maiden. He is a half-brother to several winners, including the smart Bonnie Brae.
Smart Stat: 35% - Charlie Appleby's strike rate at Kempton since the start of the 2018 season
Charlie Appleby operates at a remarkable 35% strike rate at Kempton - an improvement on his already-impressive 28% elsewhere - and his only runner on the card this evening is Montesecco in the seven-furlong maiden. Montesecco, a 255,000 guineas purchase as a yearling, shaped as if in need of the experience when fifth on his debut over course and distance a couple of weeks ago. That looked like a warm novice and Montesecco is entitled to improve for the run.
