TODAY’STOP TIPS

FAIR POINT won’tget manybetteropportunitiestoshedher maiden tag, and the daughter of Farhh is fancied to do justthat. Ralph Beckett’sfilly made apleasing reappearancewhen filling the runner-up spotatLeicester afortnight ago and anyfurther improvement might suffice. Mostar Dreams has produced asimilarlevelofform acrossher three starts and might prove to be the main danger,while HiyaHoney, who debutsfor the Karl Burketeam, heads the remainder.

WIN:FAIR POINT

DANGER:MOSTAR DREAMS

King Of Angels shaped with promiseoverC&D on his debut earlier this month and appeals as alikely candidatewith improvement on the cards, but FLICKA’SGIRL is preferred. Although winless in her twostartssincemaking asuccessful debut at Wolverhamptonlast month, shewas acreditable second in the Lily Agneshere17daysago,and lookstohold leadingclaims on that form. Columnistwarrantsamarket check ahead of his racecourse bow.

WIN:FLICKA’S GIRL

DANGER:KING OF ANGELS

ANIMATO wasable to cash in on aspell of decent form when winning at Catterick 12 days ago,and, given that he still lookswell treated from 2lb higher,David O’Meara’sfive-yearold is takentorepeat the dose.Percy Joneshit the frame overanextended 1m4f here earlier this month and he should be thereaboutsifseeing out this longer trip,while others to note include Capone and GiftedAngel.

WIN:ANIMATO

DANGER:PERCY JONES

The keytothis race lookstobethe recent clashoverC&D between OMAN (first)and Chillhi (second), with the former takentocomeout on topagain despitebeing 2lb worse off at the weightswith that rival. That wasthe six-year-old’sfirst run forthe Tony Carroll yard and he could be open to more improvement. It may be ChaseThe Dollar who providesthe chiefthreat, having scored easily overC&D on the same day

WIN:OMAN

DANGER:CHASE THE DOLLAR

Aprogressive sort on the all-weather this year,slight preferenceisfor PRINCE OF ZENDA, whose only career win on turf came hereoverslightly further lastSeptember.Awide draw will makelifedifficult but if jockey Daniel Muscuttcan gethim on the rail early,hemay be able to dictatethis ahead of of Liamarty Dreams and Baradar,who is aclassy sort on his day Course specialists Boardman and Paws For Thought need considering as well.

WIN:PRINCEOFZENDADANGER:BARADAR

ALL AGLEAM boasts commendable form figurersand, having run on strongly when scoring over7fatLingfield lasttime,dropping back to this distanceshouldn’t to be much of ahinderancetothis daughter of Oasis Dream. Aplum draw only boostsher chance, but the Andrew Balding-trained filly canexpect abattle if Nighteyes comesonfromher seasonal debut at Yarmouth lastmonth. AlfaMoonstone is the pick of the rest WIN:ALL

Acosywinner over1m4f here16daysago,FOURONEOHFEVER looksprogressive enough to cope with a6lb higher mark. Following awin on the all-weather lastmonth, that was the second leg of abrace registeredbyGeoirge Boughey’scolt sincereturning from a break and the hat-trick is astrong possibility. Castle In The Sand is an obvious threat afterfinishing second in each of his lastfive starts
