Back today after a few days off & have a couple of selections that look worthwhile, short prices for both but both look to have found good opportunities in my eyes. Good Luck to anyone getting involved.

14:50 BRIGHT ABBEY WIN 7/4 = WON
Dianne Sayer's gelding has been in consistent form this season over hurdles & has managed to place on 5 of her last 6 outings over timber all following a decent win at Stratford back in April, So its there to see that he gives his running more often than not. In my eyes this race today looks a good opportunity for him to lay down a really strong challenge. The majority of those placed efforts came in stronger races than today in the form of class 3 handicaps (class 4 novice company today) His best piece of form in relation to this race was when finishing runner up by only 1/2 a length over 21 furlongs (today 22f) at Perth in a class 3 handicap back in mid August, he stayed on well that day near the finish which suggests that the extra furlong faced today should suit, he had higher rated horses than faced today in behind him that day & on others runs also.Today's rider Lucy Alexander had her only previous ride on the gelding in that Perth race & considering that was one of his better performances her booking should be seen as a positive addition. Was tried on the flat last time out at Ayr 11 days ago, Couldn't get involved there & ran poorly but hopefully now back in this field he can continue building on his already solid profile. In this one the obvious dangers look to be Koultas King & Larteta, with the former in good form seeking a hatrick (previous 2 wins in weaker races) & Larteta looks an improver but i think both could struggle to match BRIGHT ABBEY if he's bringing his best form forward for this one today. All in All a repeat of some of his decent 2nds especially that Perth run could see him go very well. Admittedly i do get these wrong sometimes but for this one at a price of 7/4 he looks worth the bet.

18:20 TIDES REACH WIN EVENS = WON
A 7f Maiden for this one & the Roger Charlton trained TIDES REACH looks solid on his form so far, he has caught the eye of both of his first rides, particularly his debut when he was a staying on second over 6f in a better race than this. He was beaten at odds on last time & perhaps didn't run quite as well as expected but finished 3rd in behind a pair of Richard Hannon trained horses who both looked decent prospects so he wasn't completely disgraced & he doesn't look to be facing anything of that calibre in this weaker event. Both his maidens to date came in class 5 & the drop down to class 6 tonight im sure looks quite appealing to favourite backers. The real important thing tonight i think is the step up to 7f as which is something he looks sure to appreciate given the fact he stayed on well in both of his 6f starts. There are a few with decent form that could improve for this one tonight but on the whole they look as though they could fall short of TIDES REACH & he brings into the race quite easily the best form. In summary a repeat of his efforts to date over this extended trip could well suffice here & he looks worth a punt on the nose all be it at a short price.
BOTH SELECTIONS IN A DOUBLE PAYS AROUND 4/1 = WON
