Earlsfield Raider Worcester 8:10 is today’s selection C&D winner, and if the bad weather which is forecast is correct and the heavy rain arrives he should thrive on the conditions.

Campanologist (Sandown, 3:20) - With three wins from his last four races will the bells be ringing tonight for another victory. With Frankie onboard he has every chance at a big price.

Kaateb Sandown 4:35 is today’s selection. Narrowly beaten on his last two outings, hasn’t been over raced. Should have every chance of doing well!

Ermine Grey Chepstow 8:40 is todays selection. C & D winner, not quite sure of the going, but should be there at the end.

Off to Ireland today and hopefully our selection, Anna Pavlova, will prove the main danger to likely favorite Finsceal Beo. With a forecast starting price of around 10/1 she looks great each way value.

Always Certain Chester 9:20 is our Nap today: Won here a few weeks ago after steeping up in distance to ten furlongs, if this is his new distance a repeat victory should be on the cards today

Royal Premier Leicester 9:15 is todays selection. Course and distance winner, going should suit.

LAST TWO RACES CALLED OFF

Will top weight stop Indian Star (7:00 Newton Abbot) from notching up a three timer? The danger would appear to come from likely favourite Cornish Flame - who must be respected especially with AP on-board.

5f races can always be a bit tricky, but with a clear run Handinthemist can do the business in the 5:50 at Redcar.

Stellite todays selection runs in the 8:50 at Ayr. Has had three runs this year, two firsts and second last timeout. New jockey Fergal Lynch should be able to steer him to victory this evening.
