Only 2 low grade meetings today

Very little to get excited about at the remaining two meetings today. Top jockeys such as McCoy, Maguire and Coleman are in action at Catterick, but the fields are small and the quality poor. The only two races with normal each-way betting are the handicap hurdles at 15.20 and 16.20 CET, and our each-way selectipns are Lysino (Chris Grant/ Keith Renwick) and Patavium (Edwin Tuer/ Tony Kelly) respectively.

The former used to be trained by Peter Schiergen and is a half-brother to German Derby winner Lucky Speed; Obviously he has nowhere near the same ability, but should still be able to figure in this grade. The latter is no great shakes, but has a good CD record and could run well at a big price in this poor company.

The best horse running at Wolverhampton is Strictly Silver (Alan Bailey/ Tim Clark) who has top weight in the 9 furlongs handicap at 17.00. He has been running in much better races, biut we doubt that he can concede a stone to the lightly-raced and still unbeaten Big Baz (Willie Muir/ David Probert); this half-brother to Group One performer Giofra is almost certainly much better than his current rating and can win again. The other race to note is the7 furlongs handicap at 18.30; this is a dreadful event, but One Way Or Another (David Evans/ EJ Waösh) is making his 100th appearance here and it would be nice to see the old boy win on his centenary. However his recent form is very poor, and we prefer Lutine Charlie (Pazt Eddery/ Tom Queally)
