🐎 MONDAY 6/12 VIP TIPS! 

📍MUSSELBURGH 
• 1.45 - DEQUAL 8/1 (0.5pt x EW) : This is a VERY weak novice chase and I’m taking a chance on Stuart Coltherds top weight on his chasing debut. 
Was steadily progressive over hurdles back in spring and this gelding of Zoffany could have more to offer over the larger obstacles, being just a 5yo he’s open to plenty of improvement still. 
I’d be happy enough if he put in a clean round, I think this race has MESS written all over it. 

• 3.15 - BRAYHILL 11/4 (1pt) : James Ewart’s gelding looks a potentially smart jumper in the making and was unlucky not to make it 2 wins from 2 hurdles starts having looked the most likely winner when running out at the final fence last time. 
Comes here for his handicap debut and has a good chance to gain compensation off a mark of 118 which looks lenient to me. There were some decent sorts well beaten in behind that day and a similar performance here could suffice.
The consistent Finisk River is an obvious danger and I wouldn’t rule out Diamond State backing up his recent effort over a shorter trip. 

📍 LUDLOW 
• 2.00 - SWITCH HITTER 9/4 (1.5pts) Nichols runner couldn’t make a much better start over fences than winning and he did that with some conviction, beating todays rival Outonpatrol by a length. 
She was giving away 5lb that day and a 2lb rise for that effort seems neglible. 
With further progress on the cards and with a similar pace scenario here I can see in form Bryony Frost making the most of a tactical turn of foot 

📍WOLVERHAMPTON AW
• 7.00 - GLAMOROUS FORCE 7/2 (1pt) : Ronald Harris fields two in here and it’s his hat trick seeker that I fancy. Ran a career best to win over CD  on last start in what was a strong clock for a class 6 event, up in grade here but the speed figures hes put up suggest he should be bang there with this lot. There doesn’t seem to be much pace on and will need push button acceleration if adopting his usual hold up tactics but said he won by half a length last time having not had a clear run up the shoot and a 3lb rise for that looks more than manageable. 
With a bit of luck in running and another peak performance, I think he’ll be flying home late and fast for some spoils. 

Cherish catches the eye and has an incredible 71% SR under Mollie Phillips, is however 0-5 on the all weather and a bigger danger may come from 2 time course winner Trusty Rusty under the in form Jason Watson, yard has been struggling for winners of late though.
