Marvellous Value is down to the same mark as his second in the Ayr Silver Cup last year. He will love the soft ground and has had 2 nice sweetener’s over an unsuitable 5 furlongs this year. There is the risk that he will be targeted at a repeat performance in Ayr later this year, but conditions are in his favour here and he looks worth a small bet at a huge price on Betfair.
½ Point win 34 Betfair

Noverre To Go doesn’t have any real form on Soft but he really has never run on it so far. This has the look of a weak enough race and considering his good return at Haydock this year, his price with Boyles of 9/1 looks too big. He was poor enough next time from a bad draw, but his mark here should put him in with a great chance and I think he is a cert to start shorter than 9/1
1 Point win 9/1 Boyes

Collateral Damage has always been better on a softer surface and he has shown some signs this year that a revival might be imminent. He looks to have dropped to far in handicap mark given a couple of half decent runs at Beverly this year. With almost no weight and soft ground along with what looks a decent 10/1 available in Paddy Power it all adds up to value.
1 Point win 10/1 Paddy Power

Borderlescott has been creeping back to form after his injury last year, and his last run when 4th in the Temple Stakes is a long way clear of anything the rest of this field has done apart maybe from Inexile. I think he should be favourite here and 4/1 available in a few places does look great value. He does have some decent form on soft ground in the past but although its not ideal he may not need to be at his best to win this.
2 Points win 4/1 Coral/Betfred/Will Hill

Betterbetterbetter Ran a decent race in the oaks, when the race probably wasn’t run to suit at all being far to slow early on. She ran a good race at Chester on Soft Ground and looks to me to have plenty of progression left in her. She looks more of a 7/2 shot to me than the 7.2 available on Betfair at the moment and easily worth a bet.
2 Points win 7.2 Betfair
