2 SELECTIONS FOR TODAY

SANDOWN 7.45 ... PAINTBALL @ 10/1 Lads, WillHill

Willie Muir's Colt returns on softer ground which has seen this colt run his best races as his success at Doncaster bears testament.
The 2nd from that race, Miss Starlight, won her next start before placing in 2 Listed events.
The 4.5 length 3rd home who was going for the 4 timer, Rock A Doodle Doo (rated 77), finished a 1/2 length 2nd next time out here over this trip to Sir Michael Stoute's Verdant (rated 80). Verdant then won again here, off 10lb higher beating older rivals rated mid 90's before success again off another 8lb higher (98) his latest run.
Green Lightning from Mark Johnson's stable was the 4th home, just under 7 length behind yet is another to have won since, albeit stepped up to 12fl when taking the scalp of 12fl Edinburgh Cup winner and Bahrain Trophy (group 3) second, Harris Tweed, so the form is already stacking up.
Paintball had higher rated rivals/previous winners behind last 3 outings yet looked unsuited by the faster going all on a downhill finish, so this stiffer track may help in that respect and the 10/1 looks worth taking.

YARMOUTH 3.55 ... GRAND VIZIER @ 6/1 Bet365, Exchanges

Grand Vizier has a commendable 28% winning strike rate and reverts to turf on 20lb lower than his All Weather rating (where he has won 5 from 12 over/just over today's distance, 20% of all sand outings).

Is now 2lb lower than his only turf success, over 7fl here at Yarmouth (Class5 0-68 h/cap) on good going, but has won as far as 9fl and this being his first run in as low as Class6 back on a straight track, has much in his favour in a winnable contest.
