14:30 Catterick – Reverberate

John Pentin; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Reverberate makes his third appearance in maiden company this afternoon, and the signs are pointing towards a breakout performance. The colt looked green and outpaced on debut at Beverley, but his second run at Ayr was a clear step forward. Ridden with far more purpose, he tracked the pace and only faded in the closing furlong on softish going. That performance suggests he’s starting to understand his job.

Drawn in stall two, this son of Night Of Thunder finds himself well-positioned in a race that lacks any serious standout form. Trainer Karl Burke teams up with regular rider Clifford Lee, and the duo boast a productive record in these types of races. The quicker going forecast at Catterick should be far more suitable, and the tight nature of the course often rewards horses racing handily — something Reverberate is likely to benefit from if adopting similar tactics. His quick return suggests he’s taken his last run well, and he could be primed to open his account.

16:15 Ffos Las – Bear Island

Herrin Kendrick; Racing Analyst at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Bear Island was clearly well regarded by connections heading into the season, as he went off at short odds for his first two handicap runs, but didn’t deliver on that promise early on. However, a significant gear change came last time out, when the hood was removed, the trip extended, and he responded with a commanding victory at Kempton. He brushed his main rival aside with minimal fuss, suggesting that he may finally be realising his potential.

Back on turf today at Ffos Las, Bear Island doesn’t face a deep field. In fact, this looks a weaker contest than the one he landed last time, and the 6lb rise from the handicapper doesn’t appear overly harsh given how authoritative his win was. His yard are known for improving their three-year-olds through the summer months, and with S D Bowen retaining the ride, there’s every reason to think he can follow up. The mile trip continues to look ideal, and provided he breaks cleanly, he could dominate this from the front.

16:30 Catterick – Tiberio Force

Steve Harrington; Senior Tipster at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Tiberio Force may not be the most prolific in terms of winning, but he caught the eye with a notable effort at Beverley just over a fortnight ago. He finished second that day, only beaten half a length, and it was a run that could have ended differently had he not encountered traffic issues in the straight. Despite being checked at a crucial stage, he rallied strongly to close late on.

Today he steps up to a mile and a half at Catterick, a trip that has found him out before, but his latest effort suggests he’s worth another go over this longer distance. Beverley’s uphill finish takes some getting, and he looked to see it out well, indicating stamina may not be a problem this time around. Mark Winn is in the saddle again after recent success for the David O’Meara team, and with only a minimal rise in the weights, Tiberio Force should be firmly in the mix here.

20:00 Roscommon – Western Model

Gram Dodd; Irish Racing Expert at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Western Model returns to action for the third time in a row with strong claims after back-to-back runner-up finishes, including a slightly frustrating defeat at Punchestown in June where he was well supported in the betting. That day, he travelled powerfully and looked the likely winner, but was given a little too much to do and finished off strongly once the bird had flown.

The six-year-old is creeping up the weights slowly, now rated just a pound higher, but he’s clearly in good order and is holding his form well. This type of race at Roscommon represents another golden opportunity, especially given the lack of progressive types in opposition. He retains the services of Eoin Staples, whose 7lb claim is a key asset, and who seems to get on well with the horse. If he can be delivered a touch earlier this time, Western Model looks more than capable of going one better and getting off the mark this summer.turns to ideal conditions with a perfect setup in terms of draw and trip. Provided he breaks cleanly and finds cover early, he’s likely to be involved in the finish once again—and this time, could be the day he gets back to winning ways.
