Valley Of Wings ran very well yesterday, but faded and still looked a bit green. He is a model for a six furlong nursery this winter.

One for today.

3.40 Beverley Wyldfire 5pts win @ 3/1 (Brucebetting.com, guaranteed, 11/4 generally guaranteed)

Derby entry from Richard Fahey's table. Wyldfire had nothing go his way last time, he was bumped, suffered a wide trip, and seemed to need a greater test of stamina than Thirsk's sharp seven furlongs. He gets an extended seven today with Beverley's stiff finish, on rain softened ground which connections must think he handles given the strong support he took at Newcastle on debut. Raven's Pass progeny are an unknown on soft ground thus far, but there is a distinct soft ground influence on the dam's side and on that basis I would assume he will act ok on it. I thought he would be a little closer to Stoute's favourite in the betting, 11/4 guaranteed or better looks like a decent price and he is our only bet of the day.
