Daily Dogs Bet: Old timer Brickfield still has what it takes to show his class at Swindon

We’ll put our faith in old timer Brickfield Class. Bob Gilling’s veteran retains his form well as he showed when chasing home Oxford specialist Jolly Poacher in the Blanchford Gold Cup and scored on his latest CD effort.

No easy pickings today, but Darrell Williams has his eye on a popular old veteran at Swindon, while there's a recent arrival at Belle Vue that might be worth a tickle.

No problems yesterday as Run Of The Hawk and Target Classic provided us with a double - hope you also played them ante post, as suggested. While there are no sure things today, with the BAGS cards looking far more competitive, a couple of dogs take our fancy.

We'll put our faith in old timer Brickfield Class to claim one of just two Open races, the 20.52 at Swindon. Bob Gilling's veteran seems to have been around nearly as long as his handler, but retains his form well as he showed when chasing home Oxford specialist Jolly Poacher in the Blanchford Gold Cup recently. While he doesn't win too often these days, he did score on his last CD effort, and in an open looking contest makes most appeal. You should find layers willing to accommodate you at [4.0] or bigger.

Belle Vue's afternoon card looks typically taxing, but Liscarton Rocket, a recent arrival from Ireland, may still have a bit up his sleeve in the battle against the grader in the opener at 14.18. An easy winner last time on just his second British start, he's worth sticking with in a competitive heat, which should ensure you will get at least [5.0] about the selection.
