14.22 PricedUp Daily Sports Boosts Novice Stakes
SIDE DEAL travelled powerfully on debut at York, where he made a significant move to take up the running heading into the final furlong, and although he was collared late on, I liked his effort. With that experience to draw upon, he should be hard to beat. FRONT LINE FURY finished a decent third on debut at Yarmouth and could go well at big odds.
Tips: SIDE DEAL & FRONT LINE FURY
14.52 PricedUp Pushes EBF Maiden Fillies’ Stakes
This looks like a cracking race on paper. NOVELETTE and SECRET OATH both boast appealing pedigrees and look fair value against the favourite Zelaina. I know the latter has a great background as well, but from a price perspective, I’ll side with the other two against her.

The figure MONSIEUR PATAT produced when scoring at Windsor last time out is head and shoulders above what the remainder have done recently, and a 4lb penalty shouldn’t be enough to stop him from potentially going in again. His rider is having a good time of things of late as well, so the top weight looks ready to double his tally on the back of that empathic success.
Tips: MONSIEUR PATAT
15.52 Blogger The Train Stopper Fillies’ Handicap
SOUL DANCE shaped accordingly when third over C&D last time out and has leading claims on handicap debut with Oisin Murphy taking over in the saddle. BINTSHUAA is the obvious danger having finished third on handicap debut last time out and must be considered in the hands of Rossa Ryan. They earn the vote ahead of recent Wolverhampton winner, Dream Illusion.
Tips: SOUL DANCE & BINTSHUAA
16.22 PricedUp Handicap
I’m really liking the chances of BOYFRIEND, who ran a huge race behind a race-fit and progressive type on his return at Newbury when runner-up. His mark has only been raised 3lb as a result and he was desperately unlucky at Goodwood on his penultimate start. Thyer only found one too good over C&D last time out but I fancy Richard Hannon’s charge to have his measure.
Tips: BOYFRIEND

RIDE THE THUNDER has only found one too good on each of his three starts and was just edged out by a subsequent Listed winner on the latest of them efforts. He sets a tall standard and has an excellent chance to open his account, while debutant MUKHTALIF is nominated as the back-up option should the market leader underperform (rare case).
