Given Carlow Farmer has won by an impressive 9 lengths since that Haydock win is looking very strong form for READYSTEADYBEAU. Even the third Ned Tanner who was slammed 28 lengths by the selection won next time out. He beat Famous Bridge who I think looks a nice horse so the form stacks up wherever you look. That was his first run over 3 miles so he remains open to further improvement and I’m surprised the traders have installed him at 7/4 as I envisaged him being a lot shorter. Even having said all that this isn’t a given as My Last Oscar won nicely at Lingfield before being let down by his jumping last time. If he puts in a cleaner round he could pose a threat. To Be Sure remains quite lightly raced but really blew out at Aintree so a bounce-back is definitely called for here.

Another low-grade affair but NO FLIES ON ME looks a good bet to follow up for Mark Johnston. This filly did plenty wrong but still managed to finish a three-quarter length second to Temper Trap at Hamilton in the summer. That was a huge effort and the form worked out really well with the third Havana Go winning 3 times since, the fourth Paddyplex bolting up by 5 lengths at Hamilton and even the fifth Chinese Spirit managing to win his next start. The selection herself clocked a career-best winning at Lingfield next time out on first crack at this trip. She can improve and looks well placed to make it 2 wins in a row with Joe Fanning up. Belardo filly Marie Paradis is the danger as she responded well to first-time cheekpieces to finish third at Chelmsford and has claims if building on that here.
