Nigel Twiston-Davies saddles the veteran Pigeon Island

The 12-year-old Pigeon Island is firmly in the veteran stage of his career, but he's shown enough this season to suggest that he can prove competitive off his current mark...

Timeform bring you a bet from three different venues on Wednesday afternoon...

Lingfield 15:05 - Feb Thirtyfirst

Fair hurdler Feb Thirtyfirst remains with a bit of untapped potential over staying distances on the Flat and he can follow up last month's comfortable success. Feb Thirtyfirst attracted a bit of support prior to his latest run, sent off as the 3/1 favourite, and he justified market confidence by producing a straightforward performance, finding plenty for pressure and always looking in control down the straight. He hasn't been hit too hard by the handicapper for that win and can go in again.

Musselburgh 15:55 - Streets of Newyork

Streets of Newyork has been in good form of late, only narrowly denied a second C&D success last time, and he looks sure to launch another bold bid. The race in which Streets of Newyork finished runner-up last time was a much stronger contest, so the fact he is able to race from the same mark means he has to be given an excellent chance. 

Chepstow 17:05 - Pigeon Island

The 12-year-old Pigeon Island is firmly in the veteran stage of his career, but he's shown enough this season to suggest that he can prove competitive off his current mark, particularly in a race of this class. Pigeon Island has made little impact in a trio of Cheltenham handicaps, but his mark has dropped as a consequence and he faces lesser rivals this afternoon, so it would be no surprise were he to bounce back.
