It may be a quiet Sunday in racing terms, but Jive Talking can still give the coffers a boost in the British Stallions Studs EBF Fillies' Handicap at Brighton.
With just one Flat and one jumps meeting taking, punters have plenty of time to study the form and a quick glance through the figures of Michael Bell's Jive Talking offers plenty of hope.
The daughter of Zoffany may only have won one of her eight career outings, but she has yet to finish worse than fifth and is virtually guaranteed to give her supporters a good run for their money.
Tried in better company than this at Salisbury last time out, Jive Talking found it tough going as she was a bit too keen in the early stages before dropping off the pace in the finish.
The mile-and-a-half trip that day was clearly a stretch of her stamina and dropped back to 10 furlongs here, Jive Talking can get back on the right track.
Buxted Dream can bring up his hat trick in the Marathonbet Sportsbook Handicap.
Luca Cumani's charge has struck gold at Lingfield and Brighton on his last two starts, with his most recent victory coming nearly two weeks ago over this same six-furlong trip.
That was a tight event and while Buxted Dream only triumphed by a neck, he did drift across the track in the finish and can be rated a bit better value than the official margin.
The handicapper has been limited to just a 1lb rise for that win and Buxted Dream might still have a little in hand.
Wynford in the pick in the Bet toteWIN At betfred.com Handicap Hurdle at Worcester.
He overcame a couple of jumping errors to win a competitive heat at Bangor last month, after also scoring at Uttoxeter in June.
Dan Skelton seems to have a smart recruit who is certainly on the upgrade in this four-year-old.
Beyond The Clouds looked a promising type when winning one of two bumper starts last term and can pick up where he left off in the Bet totequadpot At Betfred.com Intermediate Open National Hunt Flat Race.
Kevin Ryan's runner looked really impressive when winning by 12 lengths at Musselburgh in January but found one too good back at that track the following month.
His three-quarter-length defeat was still a good effort given that he was shouldering a 7lb penalty against a horse who already had a point to point win to his name and has since gone on to success over hurdles.
