Dave Nevison's Wednesday tips: "he looks very likely to follow up"

This is an amateurs' event contested by several inexperienced riders and the horse currently in the best form also seems the most straightforward, so is a very obvious selection.

Fiddlers Green comes here on the back of a recent success in an apprentice handicap and therefore escapes a penalty here. He has dropped back to a mark that he has proved he can win off three times recently and he has run good races off higher marks last season.

John O’Shea’s gelding tends to hold his form for a while and he looks very likely to follow up in this winnable race.

Mrs Bagerran is currently in top form and looks pretty certain to get the lead here from stall one, and she could well hold that position throughout.

She made all to win at Ripon in June and was then only headed close home by a well-backed rival at Musselburgh last time out.

Although seven years old, Tracy Waggot’s sprinter might be in her best ever form and is ridden by William Pyle, who has already scored on her  three times.

This is the best race on the card and looks set to be run at a decent pace. In-form Ed Bethell won the corresponding race last season with an improving three-year-old and might well be able to do it again with the lightly-raced Native Instinct.

My selection won his maiden over 6f at Redcar last season, but definitely looked as though he is going to be better suited by 7f when third over 6f at Pontefract last time out.

He didn’t have the pace to muster a challenge in that higher-rated event, and the drop back down in grade and step up in trip can both help.
