9.00 Beverley Mercers Row 4pts win @ 9/1 (Totesport, Betfred, 8/1 Boylesports, VC Bet, guaranteed)
He has top weight to carry here but Mercers Row quite simply looks the most progressive and classy of this lot and odds of 8/1+ look to underestimate his chances this evening. The selection has already posted two wins this season, at Musselburgh in May and over course and distance on his next start. He is 4lb worse off for a 3/4 length defeat of Select Committee but I would happily have him over that rival as the more progressive of the two. He has been off for 48 days since disappointing at Redcar, but might just have needed a short break and he has run well after similar absences in the past. He looks good value against a largely exposed field at the odds, we will play win only with just the 15 now running.

A 16/1 winner yesterday meant we finished the weekend nicely in profit.
One selection this afternoon and a possible evening bet to follow at 5.30pm.
2.10 Southwell Tahnee Mara 2pts each-way AND 1pt win @ 8/1 (Generally, get guaranteed)
Was quietly punted last time on her fibresand debut when she impressed with the way she travelled and was in front plenty soon enough considering her relative inexperience. She has gone up 3lb for that, but the filly that beat her looked very well handicapped off a stone lower mark than the same time last year when she was rated OR80 - she is a summer horse and found her form last time. The pair were well clear and as a result I'm inclined to mark up the performance of Tahnee Mara. She is entitled to improve again for her second run on the surface and as a relatively small filly I think this is a good piece of placement given that she carries only 8-7. Many of these have questions marks about them: Anton Chigurh has never been on the surface, Alpha Tauri was beaten over a furlong out last time he ran here (not like him), and Only Ten Per Cent hails from an out of form stable. Dark Falcon's course form is questionable. Tahnee Mara is selected as the best handicapped horse on the surface and with the dead eight, we'll play each-way.
Profit & loss: day: -9.00 / month: +105.42 / year: -116.06
