BEST BET: Noelles Phelpso (T2, 8.21 Romford)

NEXT BEST: Swift Tarquin (T2, 9.41 Romford)

TREBLE: Desperado Dan (T4, 9.08 Romford)

By Richard Wilson

Noelles Phelpso (T2) found the semi-finals of the Olympic at Hove too hot to handle last week, but he remains on the upgrade and should appreciate the calmer shores on offer at 8.21.

An East Anglian Challenge finalist and Ladbrokes Gold Cup semi-finalist, the three-year-old has the best overall form on offer, and should appreciate the switch back to a track that he knows well.

His winless run is currently at 11, but this represents a fine opportunity, and it will be disappointing if the Tyrur Big Mike dog doesn’t make up for a bit of lost time here.

Desperado Dan (T4) has done it well the last twice and remains relatively unexposed over this 575m distance for Patrick Janssens at 9.08.

He accounted for Itsur Mate and Bubbly Cougar here seven days ago, and there seems to be no obvious reason why that form should be reversed.

Romeo Mandate was narrowly knocked out of the Olympic last week and looks to be the class angle in the race, but there isn’t likely to be much leeway with his price, and the younger rival might just be worth chancing.

Swift Tarquin (T2) can land the lucky last at 9.41 and send the regulars home happy.

An Essex Vase semi-finalist last month, he has won two of his last three, and seemingly has more to offer over this stamina-sapping 750m distance.

He can lead or come through the pack, as demonstrated to great effect in recent weeks, and has a couple of these held on recent form.
