Today's Racing Tips: Addison can make it a Grey day for Salisbury layers

Salisbury, 15.37 - Back Addison Grey @ 13/82.63

1 (5)

Addison Grey

• J: David Probert
• T: Clive Cox
• F: 71310-225

• SBK 11/8
• EXC 2.34

As a son of Havana Grey, it would be somewhat fitting if Addison Grey could land the handicap highlighting his father's stud career.

Trainer Clive Cox has appeared to target this event and will no doubt have one eye on the 'greys' handicap at Newmarket in August with his four-year-old who shaped well enough in defeat at Newbury last time.

Although beaten at the Berkshire venue, the selection was only a length and three quarters behind impressive scorer Far Above Dream who has since finished placed in the Wokingham at Royal Ascot.

Addison Grey's found his passage a little interupted that day with rider Rossa Ryan having to switch as the pace was lifting and his previous effort behind subsequent Royal winner Double Rush at Newmarket was arguably the best of his career.

A repeat of either display should see him go close in this company.  

Musselburgh, 17.05 - Back Wee Mary @ 2/13.00

3 (8)

Wee Mary (Ire)

• J: Amie Waugh
• T: Jim Goldie
• F: 33442162

• SBK 7/4
• EXC 2.84

Wee Mary is far from a regular winner and can be tough to catch right, but her last two outings over course and distance have produced career-best performances and she may gain compensation for an agonising defeat last time.

The application of the hood in April appears to have been the catalyst to more consistent displays from the selection who was nailed on the line by Supremissy in a similar event last week and ought to be on the scene in this run of the mill 0-60.

The biggest danger may hail from Invincible Crown who was unfortunate to run into a resurgent Beerwah at Nottingham last week.
