3.30 Salisbury:

Labyrinth : Evens (Betfair)

Sir Michael Stoute trains this one for the Queen and she should get of the mark at the third time of asking. Last time out improved to finish second to Dazzling Rose at Newmarket and was 6 lengths clear of the third horse. This is an ordinary contest and she should be good enough.

9.20 Chelmsford

This might not take much winning with most of these finding winning extremely hard most notably Ryan Style who is well handicapped but has not won for years, better effort latest but still concerns.

The Burnham Mare won 3 on the bounce last October and has now dropped to 2lb below her last win however they were all over 5f, she has shown next to nothing this year in 3 starts over 6f and cannot be backed currently despite the return to 5f.

Culloden might be worth taking a chance on after a disappointing effort at Newcastle latest. Possibly went too hard alone in the centre of the course, also can be excused for racing over the straight 5f and could well appreciate this return to a bend, 5lb higher today but possibly still progressing and in a race which might not take much winning he is worth a chance.

 

1pt win Culloden 5/2 bet365

7.55 Cork - Sapphirine @ 5/1 Paddy Power

Sapphirine is very interesting 2nd time out for Murtagh in a weak race. The owners have already had success sending French horses to him with Peacehaven winning for the 2nd time today after needing his first run. Sapphirine was reportedly a keen horse in France but settled beautifully on her first start for the yard so he may have improved already and stepping back up in trip should suit.

Catt 2,45 - The Kid - win at 9/4 bog bet365

12F claimer

I backed today's favourite, Chant, when it won last time at Ponty but that was a poor race and I'm going to desert him today. It's possible he might get an uncontested lead again but there's a couple of better horses here than he ran against last time and they might just stay with him or pick him up in the finish

My selection has been in pretty decent form lately, winning a seller here. He looks just too high in weights to win a handicap as he keeps finishing 2 or 3 lengths behind the winner. However he is rated 2lbs higher than Chant and is getting 5lbs

Chant has run poorly at this track every time he's been here but to be fair all those runs were on softish ground which doesn't really suit him. But 3 of his 4 wins have come at tracks with stiff uphill finishes

Brigadoon looks to be in decline but Johnson's horse, Gold Merlion, cold be a danger getting the 3yo allowance, He ran a shocker on seasonal debut but should improve for the better ground today. Couldn't rule him out
