David Ord has the best bets for Wednesday with the Nap in action at Salisbury.
Wednesday selections
MISS SCOTT - 14:30 Salisbury (NAP)
She’s been brought along steadily and MISS SCOTT looks ready to take this step up into Pattern company in her stride.
John and Thady Gosden’s charge was weighted to reverse previous course form with Manaar at Newbury last time but still impressed with how she did it and had petrol in the tank at the line. She’s progressed race-by-race, is proven on quick ground and we’re not close to her ceiling yet.
WILLOWINGHURN - 15:15 Beverley
She’s yet to really fire this season but there have been flickers of life along the way and WILLOWINGHURN drops into a 0-55 for the first time in her career.
It’s a career low mark, ten pounds shy of her last winning one, and a first-time visor goes on. She’s clearly very well handicapped and if the headgear has the desired effect from a handy low draw, she might be able to take advantage of the calmer waters.
BRAVE NEW WORLD - 17:40 Ffos Las
He looks to have been brought along with handicaps in mind and BRAVE NEW WORLD can make a winning start in the sphere.
A well bred son of Siyouni, he’s been big prices in his three races to date but has hinted at ability and an opening mark of 59 looks perfectly fair. The excellent Ashley Lewis takes three pounds off and it would be no surprise to see Ed Walker’s charge take a step forward.
WARRIOR MODE - 19:30 Kempton
He looked rusty when returning from a winter gelding operation and wind surgery at Newmarket last time but WARRIOR MODE did enough to suggest he’s on his way back.
Sir Mark Prescott has his team in good form and his four-year-old was tapped for toe when the pace increased in a falsely-run race last time before plugging on again late. There’s a strong pace forecast on Wednesday which is definitely in his favour and he drops into a 0-85 for the first time in his career. The retrurn to a mile is another positive.
