3.55 Southwell – THE PUG (2pt win) – 4/1 Paddy Power
THE PUG has a useful record in handicap company when returned to the track within four weeks of his previous start, recording form figures of 32162113750 (3-11) for a profit of £7.00 to a £1 level stake at SP, improving to 32162113 (3-8) when ridden by a jockey who wasn’t claiming an allowance (+£10.00). Sylvester Kirk’s four-year-old has failed to place on his last three starts but was ridden by 7lb claimer Shariq Mohd on each occasion and he didn’t run badly at Wolverhampton two runs back, finishing a 12-1 fifth of 12 after doing too much too soon. P J McDonald takes over in the saddle today and The only time he rode previously resulted in a course and distance win off a 3lb higher mark last September.
5.03 Southwell – MISSIONARY RIDGE (1pt win) – 20/1 Paddy Power
MISSIONARY RIDGE went into my tracker after his debut 18-1 seventh of nine at Carlisle on June 17 where he raced on the slowest part of the track. Tim Easterby’s juvenile had the worst of the draw (stall 1 of 14) in novice company at Thirsk next time but again hinted at ability, finishing a 50-1 ninth of 14. The James Garfield colt certainly wasn’t given a hard time by Sean Kirrane, and he now goes handicapping off a lowly mark after his modest seventh at Pontefract in July. He’s a full brother to a dual Tapeta winner, including in a nursery, and is likely to take a big step forward today.
6.45 Hamilton – EBONY MAW (1pt ew) – 6/1 bet365
EBONY MAW needs deep ground and it’s no coincidence that his best efforts have come in spring/autumn. The Ewan Whillans-trained seven-year-old has form figures for his current yard in April, September or October of 842523213121 (3-12) for a profit of £21.00 to a £1 level stake at SP, including two wins (16-1 and 10-1) from six starts on officially heavy going, conditions he encounters tonight.

Andrew Mount’s Myth Busters – Do Low Draws Still Enjoy a Big Advantage at Chester?
Chester is a track renowned for its unusual, constantly turning layout, which often leads punters to backing inside draws blind. However, in his latest Myth Busters column, Andrew Mount examines whether this is still so evidently the case. As a punter who once specialised in draw bias (I co-wrote two books on the subject in…
