BEST of the BETS

A few I think could run well today, not expecting anything as most of these are not obvious choices but hopefully one or two will win or a few get placed.

2:00 Hexham - FOUR KINGDOMS (10/1) has a fair record on flat, having won or placed 7 times from 18 runs, and is rated 71 so should be competitive on hurdles debut.

3:20 Worcester - THEO (11/10) returned from a break to win here last time, beating an improving novice from Dan Skelton yard. Up in class, but has a good chance of following up.

5:00 Hexham - DIZOARD (14/1) is 0-25, including 0-12 over hurdles, but has been running reasonably well at a low level on the flat recently and this race looks slightly easier than her last hurdle race when 8th of 17 here in June. Still, it will be a surprise if she wins but I think she has place chances at a good price.

6:15 Galway - Mark Walsh prefers the favourite but McInerney is not a bad substitute on MANGER ET TROTTER (16/1). Jockey has an impressive 19% strike rate (+32 LSP) when riding for JP McManus, and selection could run well on her chasing debut after just 4 runs over hurdles.

7:00 Kempton - MUKHAATER (4/1) has unplaced but run ok in two 7f maidens so far, could find enough improvement for stepping up to a mile.

9:00 Kempton - DAME NELLIE (5/1) struggled in 0-75 handicap at Newmarket last time, but form of that race is working out very well with 3 of the 7 winning next time out, selection should appreciate this drop in class to 0-60.

Good luck.
