19.30 Salisbury: Class 4 Handicap, 1m - The favourite Fajry is a very likable sort and open to a considerable amount of improvement. He won a Thirsk maiden on debut in impressive style and the step up in trip should suit today. For all of that, he is short enough in the market and I feel it may pay off to go with the Roger Charlton filly Hiking. She had only five starts today, was progressive as a juvenile and is open to further improvement now as a 3yo. She made an impressive winning debut last season, followed up with another nice and easy success and was a hat-trick only denied by the narrowest of margins when she stepped up to a mile on the Kempton All-Weather. Her seasonal reappearance at Doncaster last month was better than the bare result suggests as she travelled nicely but met interference at a crucial stage when she tried to make decisive headway. She is better than that and should improve for the run today. The quick ground will very much suit on pedigree, so should the mile. There is enough stamina in sire and particularly dam side to be confident that the trip won't be an issue. --- Hiking @ 7/2 PP - 3pts win
21.00 Salisury: Class 3 Handicap, 1m 2f - Tearless made a belated debut at Goodwood recently and she couldn't have been more impressive giving loads of weight away against some very decent three year olds that had much more experience. She travelled nicely, made strong headway from 3f out and and was going away in the closing stage to win with authority. Her opening mark of 90 seems fair and one would assume that she could go right into pattern class following this race, which I expect her to win. She steps up to 10f now which on pedigree should really suit since she is by Street City and out of Lancashire Oaks winner Playful Art. That says Tearless is beautifully bred, gave a big impression on debut, will relish the ground and the trip - it would be disappointing to see her getting beaten. --- [NAP] Tearless @ 11/4 Bet365 - 5pts win
