MICHAEL Dods and Phillip Makin can do no wrong at present and Aldaado can give them another winner in the freebets.co.uk Free Football Betting Handicap at Hamilton.

After three sighters in maidens, he dead-heated on his first handicap start and a 4lb rise might not be enough to stop him.

Another North-East yard in fantastic form is that of Richard Fahey’s, and his Ballodair should take all the beating in the Helmsley Castle Maiden Stakes at Thirsk.

Second on debut at Nottingham, one of the newcomers will have to be above average to foil him.

Eve Johnson Houghton’s Spinning Waters is well treated by the conditions of the virtualage.co.uk Handicap and can score a second career win.

Officially rated higher than all bar one of his rivals, the weight-for-age allowance gives him a cracking chance.

Bryan Smart’s Wells Lyrical was just touched off in the Northumberland Plate but small compensation awaits with Exgray in Hamilton’s Racing UK Maiden Stakes.

The Exceed And Excel filly was second on her only start to date behind Mark Johnston’s classy Capercaille, who ran a blinder in the Queen Mary.

Surely a reproduction of that effort would see her take any maiden. Smart also has her entered up in valuable sales races at the end of the year, so he must think a fair bit about her.
