Top Betting Offers To Take Advantage Of Today

Spread across 1 mile and just shy of a furlong on the inner track, this race is likely to test not only tactical speed but also staying power. The surface should ride fair, with the ground unlikely to pose any significant complications. Among the runners are names familiar to seasoned racing followers, with a mix of seasoned campaigners and lightly raced improvers adding to the complexity of assessing the field.

First Ambition, who arrives unbeaten from two starts on artificial surfaces, now steps into the unknown on turf, while Midnight Gun returns from a notable layoff and has been priced with caution given his past promise. Fondo Blanco has shown consistency in defeat, knocking on the door but yet to get through it. Tilted Kilt, meanwhile, has posted a couple of notable runner-up efforts over this track and trip and could feature again with a similar showing.

Elsewhere in the field, El Matador and Principality bring bits and pieces of form, with both needing to step forward to contend in this stronger field. Intrusively and Hawksbill appear to have something to prove, while La Trinidad continues to struggle to recapture earlier form. All told, this looks like a well-balanced contest that could easily produce a close finish, especially with several of these runners capable of improvement or bouncing back under the right conditions.

There are a number of reasons to believe that Christian David has more to offer in this contest and that his recent victory was not the ceiling of his potential. After nearly nine months off the track, he returned to action at Newbury last week and defied the layoff to land a tight finish in a competitive seven-furlong handicap. That effort was all the more creditable given the testing ground conditions and the depth of the field.

What makes his performance particularly appealing is that he achieved that success while racing off a mark of 88, and he now goes up just 3lb in the weights – a manageable rise, especially considering that his winning RPR came in at 108, a figure that stands up well when compared to the rest of this field. With form figures of 03144-1, he appears to be progressing steadily and has won three times from eleven outings, a respectable return in the context of a field where others have struggled to convert chances.

Despite trainer Richard Hannon returning modest recent stats – 7% strike rate in the past fortnight – the yard has landed some good-priced winners, and this type of runner looks typically well-placed to surprise again. Jockey Joe Leavy, although inexperienced at this level and only 2% in the past two weeks, knows the horse and gave him a patient ride last time. That familiarity could prove useful in a field where timing the run could be critical.

With the trip now extended to a mile, and his previous third at this track over the same distance offering further encouragement, Christian David has all the hallmarks of a runner poised to go close again, especially with race fitness now assured.
