Asti Moyne (T1) should be watched closely in the market as this is the bitch's third run since seasonal rest. Maggie Lucas' charge was rated in A3 prior to her absence and would be a danger to all if securing an unscathed run to the first turn.

Parish Hat (T2) would have been better served by the red jacket and will need a quick break in order to snatch first use of the inside rail. The son of Droopys Woods did post a 24.94 in A4 last month, and was quietly supported upon his most recent visit to London Road.

Fallons Star (T3) is a perennial placer and the daughter of Droopys Vieri has become frustrating to follow as a consequence. She does produce her best runs when allowed to dominate on the bunny but the draw could hardly be conducive to such tactics tonight.

Clonea Girl (T4) has been readily opposed in recent weeks and the layers have endured relatively few moments of concern. Peter Payne's bitch invariably seems to find trouble in her races and there is every chance that a similar situation will arise here.
Carnalecka Star (T5) was cooked from the boxes last week following an amazingly slow sectional of 4.00. Having acquired a double-penalty for a wide margin success in A6, life has not proved easy for Paul Young's charge and, at this level, slow trapping at Romford is invariably punished.

Meandmyshadow (T6) has been in good form of late with a success at this grade and two recent second places. Although Maxine Locke's representative has been unable to recapture the form that saw him blaze the heights of A2 last year, he is no back number and he would have obvious claims of exploiting the wide rail if he can account for the orange jacket at an early juncture.

Ivy in the know

Ivy Knows appears to be returning back to form and should go close in the A3 contest at 20:58

Dairyland Johnny (T1) has struggled to adjust to life back at Romford having graded at both Rye House and Harlow. Two below par runs inspire little confidence but the market should be given a cursory check to see if a switch to the red jacket can work the oracle.

Roar Of Love (T2) has been well supported on two recent outings with an A4 run yielding success and an A3 resulting in a close-up second. Paul Young's charge has had a brief rest following two hard runs in the space of a week. A progressive individual, he cannot be ruled out with any confidence.

Oh Geno (T3) was easy to back last week and was soon cast aside at the first bend. The ex-A1 hound has been in lamentable form of late and the percentage call appears to be that of opposition.

Randals Ross (T4) is better known as a six-bend stayer but she has reacted well to a drop in trip, graduating successfully from A5 during June. Maggie Lucas' bitch was comfortably held in her most recent visit to this grade, and the assessor may have finally got her measure.

Ivy Knows (T5) has struggled to recapture her best form although her most recent outing did represent a step in the right direction. The daughter of Potto Knows has been traded at fair prices in the past, but the form of that A3 race last time out does reads well, and it is unlikely that the layers will be quite so frivolous on Monday.

Whistle Jacket (T6) returns to the card after injury. The six-bend stayer would be of interest if the market speaks in his favour, despite the assessor affording him few favours by returning him straight back into A3.

Be All can be the end all

Be All can bring the BAGS card to a winning close at 21:14.

Our Choice (T1) has her ideal pitch in the red jacket on Monday evening and looks sure to give her backers a good run for their money. Michael Wiley's bitch has found one too good on her last three starts and it will be interesting to see whether the layers believe that she will suffer the same fate again on this occasion.

Baggy Trousers (T2) disappeared off the card in May following a mid-race KO. The son of Concorde Direct has struggled to recapture his form since returning and is probably best avoided until there is more positive racecourse evidence to base one's assessment upon.

Bonville Jack (T3) is much better than his two recent wooden spoons imply. Heavy losses have become an off-putting habit and it would be no surprise to see the layers electing to field against Maxine Locke's dog.

Be All (T4) is clearly held in some regard by Dave Mullins as the trainer has been unafraid to pitch him in against all comers at open race level. The middle runner put up what was arguably his best ever "home" performance last week and if able to reproduce that figure of 24.97, he looks the one to beat.

Bowmers Legend (T5) is a difficult dog to catch right and is another for whom the form figures don't tell the full story. Capable of throwing in a 3.71 sectional when getting his trapping spot on, another of those swift exits would put him in with every chance. On this basis, Paul Young's inmate could represent some value against the likely market leader.

Burlington Berty (T6) bombed out badly when gambled on for a similar contest last week. Supporters of the striped jacket should not expect to see him until later stages of the race, as the veteran tends to do his best work inside the final two bends.

Desperate Dash is likely to be a home banker in the third of six "Romford v Wimbledon" events at 21:09.

Parish Hat (T1) appears the most obvious candidate to secure the rail position and his backers will be hoping that this will be the scenario this evening. A dual scorer in A4 in April, he is performing consistently and can be forgiven a modest effort last week, as he did not trap out with his usual fluency.

Lazyucas Lad (T2) has run without success around Romford at Open race level but cannot be discounted on the basis of one run alone. However, her record has been lamentable when tried away from Plough Lane and, despite creditable efforts in A3 at her home track, layers may be happy to take her on again.

It is somewhat surprising that Desperate Dash (T3) possesses the speed that he does as his dam was staying bitch Courts Ad Holly. Alison Ingram's dog seems to be relishing life at London Road and has posted two emphatic successes in A6 and A7 during recent weeks.

Bionic Lad (T4) invariably drifts off middle from the boxes and it is unfortunate that Tony Taylor's charge has regressed in the face of advancing years. The son of Bionic Prospect does have plenty of early toe and comes here in good heart following an A5 success at Plough Lane.

Pistachio (T5) has driven her backer's nuts in recent weeks with a string of poor efforts, most notably when punted off the boards last Saturday. Paul Young's bitch has impressed the work watchers in trials although this promise has not transferred to race conditions.

Saywhatyousee (T6) is a proven stayer over six bends and makes little appeal over tonight's shorter trip. John Simpson's dog was well beaten at Harlow in a recent open over 592 metres and his supporters will experience few problems in having their orders matched on this occasion.

Nun looks popular order

Blue Nun could be getting the drinks in if obliging from the stripes in Romford's 20:03.

Barwise Tipsy (T1) probably created a few hangovers for her followers last Saturday as Paul Young's bitch took full advantage of a downgrade into A8. Still capable of improvement, as she is returning from seasonal rest, it could be prudent to oppose on this stronger assignment.

Apple Sunset (T2) is a likeable enough veteran who picks up races in her turn. Martyn Wiley's bitch loves to bowl along in front and could be the answer to this puzzle if there is crowding in behind.

Higgys Doc (T3) has been readily opposed by the layers at Plough Lane although they were wrong to do so when he obliged at juicy odds in A7. Tony Taylor's charge was matched at virtually any price ahead of a recent A6 and almost gave those layers a collective "bloody nose" as he narrowly failed to overhaul Dark Ella.

Purely Toon (T4) looks a big player in this race if sneaking a soft lead from the lids. Maxine Locke's team are in flying form at the moment, and the daughter of Honcho Classic was impressive in making all to take a recent A7 at the track.

Torphin Sunset (T5) recently gave the Wimbledon Racing manager little option but to lift her up two grades for an A9 success. Another to be returning from season, her better form is over further than tonight's trip and it would be no surprise to see big odds being traded ahead of this contest.

Blue Nun (T6) is a daughter of 2003 Oaks finalist Zodiac Sapphire and, while she may lack the experience of others in this contest, she has shown a likeable enough attitude in her three outings at Plough Lane thus far. A very wide tracker, her early pace could negate any obvious problems that coursing the hare may provide.

Sailor makes graded return

Borna Sailor makes his first competitive appearance of the year at 22:13.

Genesis Star (T1) has been in rude health of late and Dave Mullins' dog has obliged on his last two visits to A1. The son of Brett Lee was a little unfortunate to come up against an in-form Beat Them Tessa last time out and could need this race after a few weeks on the sidelines.

Scary Chaz (T2) exceeded many expectations when successful in this grade last Wednesday. The layers clearly did not rate her chances but those that were prepared to take her on at big odds in the Betfair market, soon knew they were in trouble as she scooted away from her field at the first bend.

Baby Bucket (T3) has ability although her confidence may have been compromised by a fall at the beginning of the month. Peter Payne's daughter of Droopys Kewell will need plenty of speed and dexterity at the traps in order to hold any chance of landing this competitive affair.

Limited Time (T4) has cost his backers dear in recent months as a number of hefty gambles have gone astray due to a failure to achieve position at the first bend. Jim Reynolds' charge is capable of putting in 3.68 sectionals if timing his release correctly and is likely to be popular on Wednesday as the orange jacket should not have the pace to match him.

Alrita Lisa (T5) was opposed upon a step up into open race class, and it would be no surprise to see those layers being happy to accommodate again. The Larkhill Jo bitch is not certain to secure a run from this draw and tonight's contest appears much stronger than the A1 that she won a fortnight ago.

Borna Sailor (T6) is likely to be one of the most traded dogs on Betfair on Wednesday night as the backers and layers enter into "monetary debate" as to whether he can be fit enough to do himself justice on a first competitive outing for nine months. Jim Reynolds' open racer is eligible for veteran races and the Scottish handler will be looking for a good performance prior to taking on the cream of the "greybeards" over the next few months.

Hahagirl (T1) has been running in lower grades recently, but was in A5 action last time out (June 13) when the December 2003 whelp was narrowly beaten by favourite Marshals Fox. The Martyn Wiley-trained bitch found traffic problem on arcs three and four but ran on gamely over tonight's 400m trip.
She has collected two wins over 400m after six starts at the one-lap distance, having switched from 575m. Her last win came on June 9 when she beat Deanridge Clover by a neck in an A6 contest and she looks sure to be involved again.

Amberley Gem (T2) has won eight of her 57 starts with the last success coming back in February in A3 company, but the David Mullins-trained bitch was successful in a trial earlier this month before her third to Marshals Fox on June 13.
She stumbled at the start from box two and was over two lengths behind Hahagirl (T1) in that 400m contest. Providing she can trap quickly and get to the rails, she is expected to make a bold bid.

Barwise Minstrel (T3) has been struggling to win of late and downgraded tonight. Won 15 of his 88 starts and his last win was in A5 company back in March.
Came last and beaten over five lengths in his last race, despite getting away quickly over 400m, and can't be trusted even with his lively trapping.

Bonville Jo (T4) has been running over 575m but back to 400m after defeating Maybe Again by a head last time out at a handly-priced 5/1. The Maxine Lock-trained bitch will be a similar price again and after two useful trials and she could spring another surprise. But don't expect her to be off to a flier, the December 2003 whelp is not renowned for her fast trapping, although she'll be flying at the finish.

Carnalecka Star (T5) is another Paul Young-trained whelp, who will have to show more than he has done of late if he is to get into the medals.
The November 2003 whelp was fifth last time out in an A4 contest after being bumped several times. He won on June 9 (A6) after a quick getaway defeating Jomax Mentor by two lengths and making all the running from trap five in a fast time. Likes to run wide, but has been slowly away in three of his last four races.

Meandmyshadow (T6) has collected three gold medals in his last five outings and the Maxine Locke-trained whelp needs to get away quickly to have a shout.
Won in A5 company on June 14 beating Marshals Light by one-and-a-half lengths despite getting bumped, but this looks tougher.

Magpie to steal gold
Whos the Magpie is on the upgrade and her fast start will give her the edge on her rivals in the 20:28 A3 race, where David Mullins' runner is tipped to follow up her win last week with another start-to-finish triumph.

Bomber Boy (T1) was sent tumbling in his last competitive start and it remains to be seen if that has affected the confidence of the Paul Young-trained dog.
The November 2003 whelp fell on arc three in a 400m contest and before that the 2/1 favourite was beaten 10 lengths after finding trouble in running. He did restore some confidence winning a trial after leading from start to finish, but he is best watched here.

Whos the Magpie (T2) is stepping up in grade after doing all her winning in A4 and A5 company. David Mullins' bitch has won two from her last three starts and was 5/2 fav last time out, when she was quickly away to lead from start to finish seeing off Bonville Maddie by over a length. She's a fast trapper and has plenty of guts - one for the shortlist.

Oh Geno (T3) has not tasted victory for 10 starts but the January 2003 whelp should be getting close to race fitness. The lightly raced Martyn Wiley-trained dog has run in open races and was quickly away last time over tonight's distance, but he faded after being baulked and he's best watched again.

Lavenders Mist (T4) has been finding it hard to win of late and not managed a gold medal for 20 runs. The Paul Young-trained dog was beaten almost 10 lengths by Alrita Duchess in his latest contest after being badly baulked and he is sure to better that.
Will be fancied and if the July 2003 whelp can repeat his form from the winter, when he scooted up in A2 company, he will go close.

Stisted Randy (T5) is more than capable of running a big race and the Alison Ingram-trained whelp is bang in form. He was second in his last race, beaten by Beat them Sparky after being slowly away, but he ran on and finished strongly. His last win came on June 7 when he saw off Randals Ross by over a length, with Whos the Magpie (T2) ten lengths back after being hampered. Could represent decent value.

Mercury Diamond (T6) is not renowned for her four-bend running, but the May 2003 whelp could trouble the main protagonists. Martyn Wiley's dog was fifth to Beat Them Sparky in his last outing after being slowly away and was four lengths behind Stisted Randy (T5) after being baulked twice. She is down in grade and distance, but her poor trapping may let her down.

Scholes primed for victory

Bronogue Scholes (T2) may be the youngster in the race but he will be on the hare early and primed to end his run of silvers with the main prize in the 20:43 contest.

Propero (T1) is not known for setting the traps alight but the red jacket should help his chances. Slowly away in his last two starts and finished third and fourth. Did win an A3 contest on May 24 when he saw off Bomber Boy by almost two lengths, but others preferred.

Bronogue Scholes (T2) is expected to put himself in the box seat from the off and the Martyn Wiley-trained youngster will take all the beating. Collected two silvers in his last two outings after moving through the grades into A3 company. Not yet won an A3 contest but this could be his day and likely to start as favourite.

Skitskat (T3) could rival T2 for early supremacy and always at home from box three. Clocked up back-to-back wins in March but not won for 11 races. Third in his last race and handly placed on arc four before fading to be beaten more than two lengths to Beat Them Sparky. Out of the winning habit.

Sloppy Fielder (T4) is a lightly raced sort who also possesses strong early pace. The December 2004 bitch is bidding to follow up her gold last time out (A4) with another win. The Alison Ingram-trained bitch beat 6/4fav Woodroad Holly by almost a length after another competitive start, but she's yet to win at A3 level after moving through the grades.

Lavanders Who (T5) is back at A3 grade after an unsuccessful stint in S2 company. The Paul Young-trained whelp won an A4 contest in his last race, but this is tougher. Quickly away last time and always led, as he headed Droopys Bettis on the line. Generally not a fast starter and will find a couple too sharp here.

Burlington Berty (T6) has not taken a gold medal for 25 races and out of the winning habit. Majority of his wins have come in A2 company and so more than capable of getting in on the act, but he tends to get caught at the off. The June 2002 whelp had every chance in his last race, but was beaten by almost a length by Raging Road and likely to find one too good again tonight. May have to settle for a minor place.

Dave Mullins' promising youngster was the quickest to leave the machine from trap one before meeting bumping on the run up to the corner.

However, the strong son of Droopys Vieri rode the storm before proceeding to make every yard of the running to beat Paul Young's more experienced Lucifers Star by a long-looking four lengths in a respectable 24.52sec.

Island Walk has now won two races from both his starts since arriving in mainland Britain, after picking up two events in all-the-way fashion when based in Ireland, and looks a useful individual in the making.

The fact that connections decided to run the likeable type in Open company on only his second outing suggests he could be something special one day, and boasting plenty of scope for improvement, Island Walk looks worth keeping on the right side in the coming months.

Nicely into his stride from trap six in the 400m event, Paul Young's well-backed son of Droopys Vieri was vying for supremacy throughout, before wearing down the unfancied Mystic Blue (T1) off the final corner.

Asserting his authority in the closing stages, the progressive youngster displayed plenty of resolution to repel Maxine Locke's more experienced bitch by the narrowest of margins in 25:29sec.

Lucan's battling effort was made to look even more meritorious, considering that the track was running 30 slow as a result of a heavy downpour earlier in the day that forced the meeting to be postponed for more than half an hour.

The likeable Airtech Lucan has won three races from eight career outings to date, and it would come as no surprise to see the July 2005 pup competing in an appreciably higher grade in the coming months.

Backers have taken a liking to the promising individual, having seen him go off as favourite in all of his last seven starts, and they will probably be scanning the advance race cards in anticipation of his next engagement.

Killeacle Brid (T5) looks worth keeping on the right side in Romford's A6 contest run over 400 metres and due underway at 19:42.

Blue Moucha (T1) has failed to dip below the 3.80 sectional barriers throughout her career and it will come as a huge surprise to see the ageing greybeard cutting out the fractions. However, Alison Ingram's candidate managed a confidence-boosting success in A7 company on Wednesday and cannot be ruled out.

Mayview Flyer (T2) is the fastest in the field on the clock, but will need to make a rapid exit to figure in the finish. Paul Young's individual should win his share of races in due course, but has won only the solitary event at this level after ten attempts.

Funny Time (T3) will try his little heart out to reach the corner in a prominent position, but may struggle to become competitive in this company. Martyn Wiley's contestant is winless at the grade after four outings and improvement is a must.

Wheres Megan (T4) is a lightly-campaigned sort, and looks open to more improvement than most of her rivals. However, Jim Reynolds' charge seems to take an age to become competitive in her races and she looks worth taking on.

Killeacle Brid (T5) looks to hold a tremendous chance of making the corner with the lead judged on her peppy sectional times. Martyn Wiley's promising contender looks capable of a trap-to-wire success if the pads connect and the daughter of Droopys Kewell is expected to command a big portion of the market.

Ronocco Boy (T6) has the gross misfortune to be drawn next door to a competitor that is expected to power clear in the opening stages in Killeacle Brid (T5). With Maggie Lucas' frustrating performer having won only one race from his last 22 outings, a lay appears the safest option.

'Lisa' and 'Pectel' worth a nibble in A5

Malbay Lisa (T2) and Pectel Unlimited (T6) look the pair to concentrate on in the A5 contest run over 400 metres and due underway at 20:43.

Frankieslollipop (T1), an ex-Irish import, has taken plenty of time to acclimatise to his new surroundings. Alison Ingram's sluggish candidate has managed to strike only once from 13 races to date, and looks likely to be left behind by the nippier front-runners.

Malbay Lisa (T2) is still a maiden after seven career outings, but is clearly held in some regard, having competed in an Open at Coventry last month. Maxine Locke's contender does possess scope for further improvement and will be staying on stoutly in the latter phases.

After Shock (T3) caused an upset when landing an A6 event two outings ago. However, that success came in A6 company, and Paul Young's representative, without a victory on the board after nine starts at this level, is expected to struggle.

Ive Moved On (T4) is expected to be vying for early supremacy at the corner. Dave Mullins' challenger ended a 16-race losing run when successful last week, and has nothing to prove on the clock.

Black Wand (T5) appears to have a difficult draw, being flanked by two peppy starters, and looks likely to meet the traffic jams. Peter Payne's individual has also had his share of injury problems and cannot be trusted.

Pectel Unlimited (T6) looks up to the task. Dave Mullins' wide seed came from off the pace to land a lesser event last month, and looks capable of making every yard of the running.

Gimmegimmegimme a gimme in S3!

Gimmegimmegimme (T5) looks to hold decent claims in the concluding S3 contest run over 575 metres and due underway at 22:00.

Alrita Ghost (T1) finished near-eight lengths behind The Difference (T6) in their latest clash, and will need to display marked improvement to reverse the placings. Martyn Wiley's character has finished at the tail end of the field in four of his last six races, and cannot be flagged up with confidence.

Oldmill Weasel (T2), an ex-Irish import, looks open to bags of improvement after just six career outings in mainland Britain. Peter Payne knows the time of day with his stayers and the likeable pup looks an interesting contender on her six-bend debut.

Bonville Socks (T3) hails from the in-form Maxine Locke kennel, but appears to have not fared too well with the draw. The old hand is a railer in the middle lane, and has something to prove with Gimmegimmegimme (T5) on their recent running.

Tobwee Marco (T4) boasts little experience after two outings around the London Road circuit but does possess scope for improvement. Alison Ingram's challenger is also set to have his first spin at the trip, and is best watched for the time being.

Gimmegimmegimme (T5) is flying at present, and the likeable sort confirmed her well being with a cosy success over Bonville Socks (T3) last week. Paul Young's competitor is favoured by the draw, and can chase The Difference (T6) before mounting her challenger in the back section.

The Difference (T6) is a grand old favourite with the locals, and will make a huge effort to storm out of the traps. Dave Mullins' admirable contender is no forlorn hope with one of her trademark peppy exits.

Maxine Locke appears to hold all the aces in the S2 event (19:58) on Romford's BAGS card.

Barntick Bud (T1) is likely to sent off as a short-price favourite for Locke following a creditable run behind Ardera Stacey in a similar event last week. Although the daughter of Top Honcho is not the brightest from the boxes, she does stay the trip exceedingly well and looks to hold obvious claims of going one better on Monday.

Woo Hoo (T2) raced in much better class than this before going off the card in March. The daughter of Concorde Direct chased home Roxholme Boy to three-and-a-half lengths in an Open at London Road in January but the layers have been happy to oppose on two recent starts.

Killough Dreamer (T3) is not the heartiest of battlers and the layers have very much held the upper hand in relation to Dave Mullins' bitch. Having failed to win a race since October 2006, she has a worrying number of "every chance" comments attached to her card and the percentage call may be to oppose again.

Lavenders Who (T4) is better known over four bends these days and did take an A4 race in some style in May. Two subsequent runs over the 575-metre trip have yielded little fruit and there were relatively few takers in the Betfair markets on those occasions.

Airtech Choice (T5) will be doing his best work as the race reaches its conclusion and cannot be ruled out with any confidence. Paul Young's bitch is far from the most frequent of winners but could prosper in the event of any early trouble among the front-runners.

Inagh Two (T6) lacks ability but does not lack a will to win. He put up a career best when victorious on 21 May in S3 and should receive a solo to the first bend.

Pilot pitch looks ideal

Moonae Moe Pilot (T6) should have conditions in her favour in the eighth race (A5; 20:28) on Romford's card.

The daughter of Borna Pilot has given the layers a couple of scares in recent weeks but her backers may believe that any monies lost were merely "lent". With no other wide seed in the race, she is likely to carry plenty of support in the Betfair market.

Blonde Flyer (T1) has only one way of running and that is to crack out from the boxes and attempt to make all. Maxine Locke's bitch attracted little interest last week but posted her fastest time for some weeks and would be a danger to all if securing an uncontested use of the first bend.

Parish Hat (T2) has recently returned to the card after finishing lame on 12 May. Peter Payne's charge will be dropping into A5 having previously kept counsel in A3. He does possess a finishing kick and the Betfair markets could offer plenty of indication as to what is anticipated.

Sign Of Promise (T3) has shown anything but in recent weeks and looks to have gone off the boil. Tonight's race could see him involved in an ungamely arm wrestle at the first turn and the layers should be happy to accommodate.

Sekon Storm (T4) is a consistent individual from the Jim Reynolds kennel. He was matched at fair prices before landing a back-to-back double of A7 and A5 contests but his backers were out of luck when they attempted a gamble on 24 May. His better races obtain when turning handy from the boxes so there is likely to be a degree of caution in the market as the layers put up their offers.

Mee Chai (T5) appears to have lost his trapping boots and this seems concurrent with the backers losing their interest in him as a betting proposition. The former hurdler often leaves himself with plenty to do in his races and the sectionals suggest that he is unlikely to secure a run on the striped jacket.

Pace puzzle ignites A3 affair

The Racing Manager looks to have created the likelihood of an early pace showdown in Race 11 (A3; 20:58) on Romford's card.

Lakers Bordeaux (T1) is not the quickest from the lids but this could be a positive in the event of first bend bother. Dave Mullins' dog has not won since March but his successes have often been accompanied by plenty of positive activity in the market.

Mayors Walk Lady (T2) was successfully campaigning in A1 company at this time last year. Maggie Lucas's bitch is improving out of her seasonal rest and with a "kipper" in the red box; there is every chance of striking out onto the rails.

Skitskat (T3) proved popular with the backers on Betfair during spring as she commenced a well-supported charge up the grading ladder. The daughter of Droopys Woods has sunk into A3 grade from the top echelon and would need one of her faster breaks in order to hold a position at the first turn

Mollysox (T4) is as genuine a middle seed as they come and may be capable of securing elbowroom into the first turn. The recent form of the bitch is uninspiring but she did account for Lakers Bordeaux by over five lengths in April, and is capable of producing a blistering 3.74 if anticipating the start correctly.

Bowmers Legend (T5) showed plenty of early boot in lesser grade but recent efforts suggest that life in A3 is not so comfortable. Backers have encountered few problems in having their bets matched since he made the transition, and a similar situation appears likely tonight.

Mystic Gypsy (T6) is a known wide-tracker and is persevered with in this grade despite four unsuccessful assignments last month. Alison Ingram's bitch is another for whom an uncontested lead appears to generate her better performances, and with the possibility of securing first run on the outside, it would be folly to ignore any positive vibes in the early trading on Betfair.

Genesis Star (T2) has won three of his last five races and is expected to be thereabouts. Although Dave Mullins' contestant proved too strong for Jomax Plumber (T5) last week, the August 04 whelp would prefer the rails slot.

Reachfar Giulio (T3) stormed out of the machine when powering to an all-the-way success last week. Although Alison Ingram's candidate boasts the quickest calculated time in the line-up, it should be a worry that he remains a maiden at the Open level after eight bites of the cherry.

Not Called Ollie (T4) looks capable of challenging at the corner but will need to travel quicker on the clock than of late. Paul Sallis' Hall Green raider has managed only one success from his last 14 outings and does not look trustworthy.

Jomax Plumber (T5) hails from the bang in-form Maxine Locke kennel, and will probably have to be content to chase the pace. The tough contestant landed an A1 event in style on Monday, and should be doing sterling work in the latter phases.

Dainty House (T6) is an improving sort from Harlow who is worth a second look in the pre-race market. Mark Cottee's charge, however, lacks experience around London Road, and may struggle to become competitive.

Flying and Ronin to dominate 20:48

Flying Time (T2) and Ronin (T6) look set to corner the market in the London Road Puppies, run over 400 metres and due underway at 20:48.

Star Of Twilight (T1) looked hugely impressive when posting a quick 24:59 on his sole visit to Romford in March. Although Paul Sallis' contender has been a touch disappointing at his home base Hall Green more recently, the fast youngster cannot be ruled out with a clear run on the bunny.

Flying Time (T2) confirmed himself on the upgrade when defeating Ronin (T5) by two-and-a-half lengths over the course and distance three weeks ago. John Mullins' Coventry raider was then unlucky to stumble at the start when made a hot favourite to land his last outing at Sunderland, and the improving performer is expected to attract his fair share of backers again in this company.

Blonde Rock (T3) boasts plenty of opening speed, and will try his little heart out to reach the corner on the bunny. However, with Gary Sallis' Sittingbourne representative needing to find a chunk on the clock, he is best left alone for betting purposes.

Swift Weir (T4) has made rapid progress through the grades since making his debut in a modest A7 event at Swindon in February. Steve Willey's runner just got up on the line to pick up an A1 class event at the Wiltshire circuit last month, but will need to brush up his trapping prowess to feature in the finish.

Be All (T5) is still a maiden after seven bites of the cherry and appears to have a good deal of improvement to find at this level. Dave Mullins' contestant is expected to attract little in the way of support.

Ronin (T6) looks the chief threat to Flying Time (T2). Alison Ingram's challenger boasts just the single win to his name after ten career starts, but has finished runner-up on another seven occasions. Once the penny drops, the promising youngster may well be set for better things, and with little to find on the clock, he has to enter calculations.

Cagey Dougie boxed up in 21:36

Cagey Dougie (T1) has only worn the red jacket once during his career, but acquitted himself with credit when coming from off the pace to strike around three weeks ago. With John Mullins' Coventry raider bidding to make it two from two on the rails, he is expected to attract plenty of interest in the London Road Standard, run over 400 metres and due underway at 21:36. Dougie produced a fabulous effort when posting a nippy 24:23 in his warm-up trial, and a reproduction of that clock would see him take the world of beating.

Greenlough Power (T2) ended a six-race losing run when landing a number of tasty wagers over the distance last week. However, with Ernie Gaskin's competitor needing to travel with more zest, an uphill battle looks on the cards.

Millies Our Star (T3) has won two of his last four Opens over the trip, and cannot be discarded. Jenny March's Peterborough invader is blessed with pace in abundance, and enters the equation.

Lethal Lee (T4) produced an outstanding performance when making all in an ultra-fast 24:19 over three months ago. With Alison Ingram's classy individual well treated on his best form, he enters the short-list in a cracking contest.

Brideweir George (T5) caught clock watchers' eyes when justifying heavy support in 24:34 on his penultimate outing three weeks ago. Jim Reynolds' charge has little to find on form, and is another major player.

Blueview Brian (T6) has so far failed to live up to expectations since coming over from Ireland, and Mark Cottee's character is without a win in his last ten races. As a result, layers are entitled to feel confident of having their own way.

Kildare Lark (T1) seems to have the beating of Courtneys Trick (T3) on a line through Castledale Lad. However, with Jason Foster's Wimbledon raider still winless after three starts over timber at the London Road circuit, a zippy exit is a must.

Rockmount Fitzy (T2) comes here in sparkling form having landed his last three H1 events around his home base Crayford. However, Julie Luckhurst's fast away challenger has shown little on the clock in two starts in Open company to suggest that a race of this nature is within his grasp, and layers are likely to benefit.

Courtneys Trick (T3) came within a whisker of upstaging Newlawn Berts (T5) on last month's running, but will need plenty of luck in-running to repeat the dose. The fact is that Jim Reynolds' veteran is still without success in Open company after 15 bites of the cherry, and he is hard to recommend.

Alis Hope (T4) has been defeated in all of his last seven Open events and comes here on the back of a three-week absence. Dave Mullins' charge is expected to be outpaced early doors, and should have too much ground to recover.

Newlawn Berts (T5) looks the class act. The prolific hurdler may not be the quickest in the field from the traps, but his strength in-running is expected to see Patsy Cusack's Crayford charge home.

Fear Blackjack (T6) is still a maiden after eight lifetime starts, with Steve Willey's disappointing youngster needing to sprout wings to feature in the latter stages.

'Hawk' to fly home in 21:04?

The lightly campaigned Benbradagh Hawk (T4) looks the value call in the royalflamingos.co.uk Stakes, an Open contest run over 400 metres and due underway at 21:04.

Ballinveala Ice (T1) has failed to cut the mustard in two outings to date over the course and distance and appears out of his depth. Rob Bothway's Yarmouth raider has plenty to prove on the clock, and looks best opposed.

Glencoe Lass (T2) appeared ready to tackle the top dogs when recording back-to-back A1 successes five weeks ago, but has been disappointing in her last four races. With Jim Reynolds' contender having been defeated in all of her last 14 Opens, she appears little value at the likely odds.

Toosey Champ (T3) finished more than three lengths clear of Cleo (T6) last week, and hails from Maxine Locke's in-form kennel. The likeable old hand looks capable of a fast exit on his day and cannot be ruled out.

Benbradagh Hawk (T4), an ex-Irish import, made an impressive winning debut at Henlow last week and could be anything. Michael Hall's representative is expected to crack out in front and a bold show looks on the cards.

Clap The Throw (T5) is the elder statesman in the field, but cannot be discarded. Peter Payne's old stager looks more than capable of dominating proceedings, and has little to prove on the stop watch.

Cleo (T6) is a tough and consistent type, who looks set to have plenty of running to do at the turn. Although Steve Willey's candidate is predicted to start at shortish odds, backers are advised to note that she has only managed to win one Open race from 16 bites of the cherry.

Cagey Dougie to bounce back in 22:08

Cagey Dougie (T2) received two bumps in-running before failing to land a number of tasty wagers over the course and distance last week, but can return to winning ways with a clear run in the John's Plan B Stakes, an Open contest run over 400 metres and due underway at 22:08.

Swhimasdylan (T1) finished three lengths behind Brewingupastorm (T3) last week, but should finish a good deal closer with the aid of the rails slot. Ernie Gaskin's progressive candidate looks set to make the running and cannot be ruled out.

Cagey Dougie (T2) was expected to make a winning six-bend debut last week, but did not get the run of the race. However, trainer John Mullins knows his onions and is expected to have his classy individual spot-on for this return to the standard journey.

Brewingupastorm (T3) boasts a 40 per cent winning strike-rate in Opens over the trip, and looks a major player. Julie Luckhurst's Crayford charge enters the equation granted a peppy start.

Brideweir George (T4) posted a personal best 24:34 over the course and distance when making virtually all a fortnight ago. Although Jim Reynolds' individual is still improving, he needs to travel a touch quicker on the clock.

Fear Daniel (T5) is a useful performer in his own right, and is expected to be doing sterling work in the latter phases. However, Steve Willey's contestant has managed only one success from his last 12 starts and would be a shock winner.

Newlawn Boomboom (T6) was involved in a pile-up that saw her being brought down at the first corner last week, and should go well provided she is none the worse for the mishap. Patsy Cusack's challenger had won three of her previous four races and is expected to produce a strong late burst.

Dartac Sarah (T1) is equally capable of coming from off the pace as she is of making her own running, and is looking for a third success from her last six starts. However, with Alison Ingram's representative still without a win at this level after seven bites of the cherry, backers are advised to tread warily.

Rockchase Lynn (T2) is blessed with strong early pace and looks open to more improvement than the majority of her rivals. Formerly an S2 grader, Paul Young's contestant commands the utmost respect.

Toker Rambler (T3) had Girls Weekend (T6) in behind when finishing runner-up behind the fast The Difference last week. However, Maxine Locke's charge will need to travel quicker on the clock to confirm those placings.

Oracle Lady (T4) produced her fastest exit for the best part of two years when gaining a narrow victory in an S4 event last week, and enters the equation. However, with Martyn Wiley's old hand boasting a miserly 10 percent winning strike-rate at the grade, backers are likely to look elsewhere for the winner.

Randals Legacy (T5) has been displaying plenty of pace from the starting gate in recent weeks. On the negative side, however, is the fact that Alison Ingram's golden oldie has not managed to strike at this level for nearly 10 months, and improvement on the stop watch looks a must.

Girls Weekend (T6) looks the percentage call. Paul Young's contestant boasts easily the best time in the contest, and should have every chance to lead at the turn.

Lavenders Mist to bloom in A3

Lavenders Mist (T4) can end a long losing run in the A3 contest run over 400 metres and due underway at 20:43.

Woodhill Lad (T1), formerly an A1 class hound, will strain every sinew in a bid to hit the lids running, but may have to be content to chase the nippier starters in this company. Lightly campaigned at the grade, Alison Ingram's railer has a chance if the spaces appear.

Dellas Morgan (T2) boasts initial speed in abundance, but is expected to struggle to reach the turn ahead of Caden Lane (T3). Maxine Locke's contender finished behind the likes of Woodhill Lad (T1) and Lavenders Mist (T4) nine days ago, and appears to have plenty to prove.

Caden Lane (T3) has moved gradually up the graded ladder since competing in A7 races more than a year ago. Jim Reynolds' bitch boasts easily the fastest sectional times in the field, and a peppy start may bring about a return to form.

Lavenders Mist (T4) looks more than capable of bouncing back to winning ways after 16 outings without success. Paul Young's challenger has run three solid races to finish runner-up on each occasion recently, and a bold show is anticipated.

Aero Ivy (T5) may well be left behind in the early stages as a result of her slow start, and is expected to struggle. Paul Young's veteran has been finding lots of trouble in-running in recent weeks, and cannot be trusted.

Hakuna Matata (T6), the winner of a similar event last month, appears to have once again hit a wall. Jim Reynolds' character has not been leaving the machine with his old sparkle recently, and a watching brief is advised.

Hondo Betty looks good in S1

Hondo Betty (T2), the wide-margin winner in S3 company nine days ago, can defy a double uplift in grade in the concluding S1 contest run over 575 metres and due underway at 22:00.

Stoneyslim Lady (T1) comes here in rude health having made all the running to land an S2 event on Thursday. Although Maggie Lucas' veteran clocked her best recent time on that occasion, more is required at this higher level.

Hondo Betty (T2) looked awesome when posting a nine-lengths success in S3 company in a phenomenal 35.95. Although Paul Young's challenger has a double penalty to overcome, a reproduction of that effort on the clock should suffice.

Commons Bale (T3) looked in good shape when making all to land an S2 contest more than a week ago. However, Peter Payne's outsider appears to have a mountain to climb on the clock, and is best opposed.

Killough Dreamer (T4) is expected to be playing catch up from the first corner. Although Dave Mullins contestant is expected to start at cramped odds, backers are likely to look elsewhere for the winner on learning that she is without a win in her last 20 races.

Queens Opinion (T5) looks the fastest of the outside trio and should be prominent early doors. Paul Young's charge showed improved form to easily pick up a similar event last month in a fast time, and need a sharp exit to figure in the finish.

Sarahs Our Star (T6) looks to have potential after just five career outings to date. However Jim Reynolds' individual has not been displaying an enthusiastic attitude in recent weeks and the jury is out.

Quickly out of the machine in a joint career-best 3.81 sectional from trap four, Jim Reynolds' heavily backed daughter of Larkhill Jo proceeded to make all the running to score impressively by one-and-three-quarter lengths from Paul Young's Prime Xcelerator (T3) in a personal best 25.18sec.

With 'Sammardan's winning time having eclipsed her previous best by 10 spots, the promising November 2005 whelp gives the impression that she looks capable of climbing the grades sooner rather than later after just seven career outings.

Sammardan Belle's trainer, Reynolds, is in sparkling form at present and it would come as no surprise to envisage further success for the likeable individual in the not too distant future.
