HIGH SECURITY (6.25 Ripon) looks to have the five-furlong handicap at Ripon on Wednesday under lock and key.
The Nigel Tinkler-trained four-year-old ran a career best when landing a 13-runner handicap over the same course and distance earlier this month. He was second past the post but was subsequently promoted when the winner, Birkenhead, was disqualified for interference.
Birkenhead franked the form when running away with a five-furlong handicap at Catterick last Friday. My selection races off the same mark as his ‘victory’ and should take all the beating in the Best Odds Guaranteed At ne-bet.com Handicap.
At Beverley, OTTO OYL (5.20) can complete a quickfire double, having stormed clear to win a 10-runner handicap over a mile at Ayr last week.
David and Nicola Barron’s lightly-raced four-year-old has improved enormously this season, winning at Southwell in March and finishing runner-up at Nottingham early this month.
The gelding disappointed on good to firm ground at Pontefract last month but, with the going likely to be good at Beverley, expect another strong showing in the Cottingham handicap especially with claimer Rhona Pindar taking 7lb off his back.
