As always our focus will be on the handicap contests for each meeting but will occasionally include a feature listed or conditions event too.
Keeping records of our endeavours to a 1pt level stake at SP, naturally we will personally be looking to get better odds but for the purpose of these results we record to SP.
We will keep up with our occasional lay opportunities of short priced favourites too, as always we will keep these results separately from the handicap figures.
Here's a link to this Wednesday's race card; EVENING RACECARD
The going on the polytrack surface is described as 'standard to slow' and the current weather forecast is for mixture of sunshine and some showers (so that heatwave didn't last long) with a max temperature of about 20C when the meeting gets underway.
Here are our selections for this evenings 5 handicap races;
17:40 -- 7f Apprentice Handicap (3yo).
A max field of 14 three year olds for the opening race tonight, apprentice riders only and not a lot of positive form on offer. WOTADOLL [5th 7/1] has at least been finding some improvement on her opening outings once stepped into Handicaps. A couple of recent places at Yarmouth it will be interesting to see how she fares on the AW but does have a decent jockey so that will help.
At bigger odds a chance is taken on CLIP ART [14th 33/1] from the Jamie Osborne yard, trying her luck in a low grade handicap might be able to surprise though this is not a race to go mad about.
19:10 -- 7f Fillies Handicap.
Another max field of 14 here and though not limited to 3yo's it's almost dominated by them. DUSKY MAID is sure to be popular seeking a hat trick of wins but might be opposed here with ROBBIE ROO ROO [WON 10/1] who was placed here a couple of runs ago and might improve for the return to this track.
One at a big price worth a look in the place market could be SPARKLE [13th 8/1] with William Buick in the saddle, looks a big price at around 20/1 and hasn't had a lot of racing so still something to offer back on the AW too, only had the one outing this season.
19:40 -- 1m Handicap (London Mile Qualifier Series).
Another round in the mile series and of the ten declared we aim to pair these two against the field. DEVILS BRIDGE [7th 9/1] and ELECTION DAY [3rd 5/1]. Have a bit of AW experience here and both are winners too should be good value against the field.
20:10 -- 1m 3f Handicap (London Middle Distance Series).
Although they have National Hunt trainers the pair of TOBACCO ROAD [10th 20/1] and SILCA STAR [7th 16/1] both have plenty of flat form and stamina in their pedigrees so the trip is of no concern. Should both be about 10/1 or better, looks an open contest and we will stick with these especially Silca Star who receives all the weight allowances going here.
20:40 -- 2m Handicap.
Our finale tonight is over two miles, again a max field assembled of 14 for this, GOLLY MISS MOLLY [WON 7/1] is a regular and holds her form well enough, sure to stay well too is a must for the short list.
The other with recent form is INTIMIDATOR [5th 7/2] and it's that pair against the field for us tonight.
Staked -- 10 points.

Staked -- 10 points.
Results will appear later tonight, hopefully we can wipe out the current deficit of -9.25 points that we bring forward to this round of racing here. 2 winners tonight and a 9 point profit so we've almost wiped out the loss just the -0.25 to carry over.
LAYS -- Currently stands as 7 from 10 successful lays.
One for tonight -- FIRST DRIVE (18:10). LOST 7th 4/5F
Back to normal now and we return next week for more of the same at this course on 5th July.
