Timeform pick out three bets from Fairview and Greyville on Friday...

"Her consistency has seen her rating remain on the high side, but she has been found a race she can win here..."

Without Permission - 12:25 (GMT) Fairview

Without Permission represents the powerful combination of Alan Greeff and jockey Grey Cheyne, and there is every chance the son of Rock Of Gibraltar can bounce back to winning ways this afternoon. Although a length and a half behind Bollemakiesie here last time out Without Permission meets that rival on three pounds better terms now and ought to be able to turn that around for a stable in very good form of late.

Spring Steel - 13:00 (GMT) Fairview

Spring Steel could make it a quick stable double for Alan Greeff here if the son of Kahal can buck his recent trend of placing in his last three starts, beaten a quarter of a length or less in the last two here, one on turf and one on the polytrack. Last time out he was seen off by stable companion Varsity Cup in a decent handicap when running on over a furlong shorter, but upped in trip to his favoured distance and getting weight from all bar one of his rivals, Spring Steel looks to have an outstanding chance today.

Shirley Valentine 17:30 (GMT) Greyville

Shirley Valentine has to give weight away to all her rivals here but has the form in the book to suggest she can do just that. The Dennis Bosch trained daughter of Ideal World has only won the once but has been there or thereabouts on eight other occasions, with a length and a quarter third to Fantasy Lady here over slightly further last month in a similar race. Her consistency has seen her rating remain on the high side, but she has been found a race she can win here and Shirley Valentine looks the likeliest victor in this field by some margin.
