SUITS ME sounds like a sensible place to start for backers seeking to make a profit at Beverley this afternoon.
Although Thomas Tate's in-form four-year-old has reeled off two successive Ripon triumphs, he's only gone up 9lbs for that money-spinning brace.
By this season's standards when the handicapper has tended to be quite harsh on multiple winners, Suits Me (3.30) appears to have been let off relatively lightly.
Of course the game is all about opinions and that theory will be put to the acid test in the Weatherbys Printing Handicap, nonetheless there's every indication the selection can complete his hat-trick.
With two renowned pace-setters, Viewforth and Throw The Dice, drawn virtually adjacent for the five furlong dash, it'll be no surprise if the pair cut each others' throats in a speed duel up front.
Such scenarios are tailor-made to tee things up for a potential closer like Seafield Towers (3.00), who after a two-year spell in the wilderness is threatening to get his head back in front.
Absolutely thrown in at the weights on the pick of his lifetime best efforts, Linda Perratt's sprinter will get every assistance from the able Tom Eaves in the saddle.
In terms of problem-solving the GMTV Media Nursery arguably represents the hardest puzzle to solve on the busy seven-race card.
The market may well prove the most accurate guide to the outcome of the £5000 event, therefore if the cash is down for Powys Lad (4.30), it could be worth following.
Middleham handler Karl Burke, who had a Group 3 scorer on Saturday, has an above-average bunch of two-year-olds in his Spigot Lodge stronghold, many of whom have already paid their way.
If Powys Lad is to join Karl's ever-growing tally of juvenile winners he'll have to get going soon and the near one-mile affair seems an ideal launching pad.
Bookmakers at Leicester could find themselves on the back foot from the word go should there be a wholesale plunge on Nowaira (2.20) in the opener.
Mark Johnston's filly was buffeted about like a rag doll on her Sandown debut when getting badly bumped and impeded at various stages of the contest.
When the daughter of Daylami did finally see some daylight she finished in eye-catching fashion, but it hardly needs me to tell you the leaders had flown.
Johnston has a habit of running his better class juveniles at the Midlands venue, a modus operandi that suggests Forsyte Saga (4.50) is no mug.
The booking of 2005 champion jockey, Jamie Spencer, for the Gainsborough Stud filly is another pointer to her prospects in the EBF Maiden Stakes, a race Mark won 12 month ago with Celtic Step.
