A slightly different format for today's post. There are a couple of horses that look to have solid each way claims so I will be advising a small each way double.
2:25 Beverley
Lily Rules looks a straightforward filly who has run well on both starts to date. In truth it was a miracle she didn't win on debut. She fairly surged at the line but just held. That experience is likely to prove valuable over course and distance. The majority of the field don't appeal and it would be disappointing if Coyle's two-year-old doesn't hit the frame. The main dangers could come from Spiceupyourlife, Scoreline and Zalzilah. the latter could be much better than seen on his debut. James Tate gave this youngster a Stake race entry and time may tell this horse has ability. However, Lily Rules sets a fair standard and should finish with some purpose.
2:40 Bath
Gin Time has been the bridesmaid on three occasion but she is deserving of a win and has enough ability at this grade to go well. The key to these races is having a horse which runs to the line as so many platers show pace for four furlongs and struggle thereafter. Evans' youngster was unlucky not to have beaten Scargill last time at Redcar and a few pounds in hand is likely to reverse that form. It is interesting to notice Gannon rides Diamond Lady, who is dropping in class. I would expect Hughes' runner to be primed. Gin Time looks a fair each way selection to me and will battle to the line.

2:25 Beverley - Lily Rules
2:40 Bath - Gin Time
Disappointed with the performance of Lily Rules. She must have regressed to have finished unplaced.
