15:03 Wincanton
If Bradman proves as effective at Wincanton as he has been at Fontwell on his last two starts, winning them both, he could prove hard to beat as he goes in search of the hat-trick, but there are a few unexposed ones making their handicap debuts in here and of them, OURBROWNEYEDGIRL makes some appeal.
She’ll likely want further again in time, but showed more than enough in bumpers, not least a second to the very useful Sober Glory at Exeter to think she’s got races in her now she’s been handicapped.
On her pedigree an extra half-mile today ought to suit, and she has each-way chances if taking a step forward.
15:33 Wincanton
A bad mistake saw MY SILVER LINING pulled-up fairly early at Lingfield last time when we fancied her to run a big race, but in truth she didn’t look that happy from the outset and may just have had an off-day.
Either way, she barely had a race there and the fact she rocks up again just 10 days later suggests her in-form trainer Emma Lavelle feels she’s fine to take her chance.
She’d been refinding her form after a poor season in 2024/25 and looked about ready to win again before the Lingfield setback. It may be worth forgiving this thorough stayer the once, as this looks very winnable and she’ll not mind conditions either.
