Ian Ogg has the best bets for Sunday's meetings with his Nap in action at Leicester.
A basement mark of 85 shouldn't be beyond BARRA BLUE on her handicap debut. She made a promising start in a Huntingdon bumper in March and may not have been suited by the demands of Fakenham when below that level the following month. She's cut little ice in maiden hurdles but should be competitive at this level and Johnny Burke taking over in the saddle from Liam Harrison is a portent that better is expected at a track where the stable has a fine strike rate.
He's been off a while so the market may prove handy but there should be more to come from RED DIRT ROAD. His four length defeat of Corbetts Cross in a point reads well now and he's done little wrong under Rules too, winning his bumper before progressing over hurdles. He has the speed to cope with the drop back in trip on this stiff track, one where his yard has enjoyed plenty of success over the years, and appeals as being on a decent mark.
