Steve Ryder is back with three tips from Thursday's horse racing action.
16:40 Salisbury
Beatrice Shilling is respected on her handicap debut over this trip but it looks worth sticking with ALLONSY (best priced at 3/1) who bids for a four-timer. The Ralph Beckett trained filly is unbeaten in her previous three starts since the application of cheekpieces with victories at Windsor, Epsom and Newmarket off marks of 68, 72 and 77.
Allonsy made all comfortably by 1 ¾ lengths last time that a 6lb rise could underestimate her once again and she is expected to extend this winning sequence with Rossa Ryan taking over on board.
18:00 Windsor
London & The South have a strong hand in this 0-85 handicap with both God Of Fire and DUE TO HENRY (best priced at 10/3) with preference going to the latter who is unlucky not to be unbeaten in his three starts in handicaps.
The Eve Johnson Houghton trained gelding finished 4th beaten only ¾ length on his handicap debut at Yarmouth when not getting a clear run before winning easily over this course and distance by 2 ¾ lengths on his next start off a mark of 77.
Due To Henry was given a poor ride from Charles Bishop last time at Sandown when going far too soon and he was run down late by Hot Fashion who won by 1 ½ lengths. A 1lb rise to 84 is lenient based on that effort and hopefully Charles Bishop can make amends in this race.
20:10 Chelmsford
Bariuts Bellator has been well backed overnight for this weak 0-60 handicap but a chance is taken on the handicap debutant GREGORIANNA (best priced at 10/1). The Julie Camacho trained filly has finished well beaten on her three starts in maiden/novice company but now makes her handicap debut off a lowly mark of 52.
Sent off 28/1, 80/1 and 200/1 for her starts at Newcastle over 7f, she now steps up in trip to a mile for the first which should suit based on her running style and pedigree. The yard are in good form with five winners from their previous fifteen runners including with their sole runner yesterday at Beverley who won at 9/1. Four places are widely available with bookmakers and she should hit the frame at a double figure price.
