2pts win – Taunton – 4.45pm

STRAVITA has yet to win over fences but I think the Jim Best-trained mare will break her duck this evening.

She was a long way behind the winner at Lingfield last time out but prior to that bad day at the office she was well on the premises. With Ashley Bird takeing 10lb off her back and the ground on the fast side, this looks a fantastic opportunity to dot up in front.

4pts win – Southwell – 4.10pm

Proven stamina is key for a 1m 6f trip on the all-weather and RECORD BREAKER certainly has that.

Mark Johnston’s (pictured above) runner carries a 6lb penalty into this handicap after at Pontefract last week but it shouldn’t hold back Silvestre De Sousa from getting the seven-year-old home in front.

Calculating, a course and distance winner, is the danger and is more than decent each-way alternative.
