Just one for this evening.
7.35 Wolverhampton Bapak Chinta 1pt each-way AND 3pts win @ 11/1 (Paddy Power, Stan James, Betpack.com, Betfair Sportsbook, guaranteed)
A good little sprint. Mappin' Time deserves to be favourite but I'd be inclined to take on a horse who hasn't won on the surface and he might be done by a quickener. Jubillee Brig has been winning lesser races, and is probably handicapped close to his best. I can't have Intrepid, who has never backed up second time out and didn't shape as though he wants six furlongs to my mind, on his debut for Tim Pitt. Bogsnog might be a touch below this class and Vincentti is a horse who is probably best on slow turf.
A chance is taken on Bapak Chinta in first time blinkers. He didn't show too much on his reappearance at this track, but he wasn't given a hard time and did manage to close at the finish. Connections experimented with front running tactics at Lingfield last time, but he weakened tamely - this may have been due to a dislike of the hill - he faded markedly coming down the gradient and may not have enjoyed the experience.
These Speightstown progeny are notoriously nervy as I have alluded to before, but Kevin Ryan has trained a few and knows how to get the best from them. They have a very good record in first time blinkers, and I would suggest that a return to Wolverhampton, the application of headgear, and the step up to six furlongs with a patient ride might well see this horse return to form this evening. I don't think the others set an exacting standard and I can't see anything else particularly well handicapped on polytrack. As a result I think the selection merits backing at anything in double figures, and although he is as likely to finish last as first, he would pick these up and carry them on his best form and track/trip/fitness are all on his side this evening in my view.
Profit & loss: day: -5.00 / month: +65.50 / year: +14.15
