A really disappointing renewal of the Hilary Needler (Beverley 7:30).  I've published the ratings but the top two have low draws which is likely to be a big negative unless there's a significant going change and they come down the stands side (as they did three years ago).  It's a very tricky heat and the best value bet looks likely to be Malpas Missile.  Full ratings:  
    
Ayr 2:10  No qualifiers  
    
Ffos Las 2:30  
Marlinka 75 (nap) - WON 6/5
Just For Leo 61 - 2nd 9/2
    
Beverley 7:30  - Malpas Missle 3rd 7/2
Dolly Parton 79  
Inagh River 79

I must just mention Sundays ratings, SWISS DREAM [WON 7/4 < 11/4] looks a very good second top rated and must be backed.  I expect the Jarvis horse to be early morning fav so take the best early price on the selection as it is likely to be supported.

A busy Wednesday covering four meetings.  The two Nurseries are interesting.  Azzurra Du Caprio (Catterick 3:10) looks to be on a fair markin what looks a weaker race than the once he chased home Majestic Myles in; she should improve for the step up in trip but wil need to to overhaul Hortensis.    The handicapper would no doubt raise Krypton Factor [WON 9/2] a few pounds if he had the chance and that one must go close tomorrow (Sandown 6:35) but Swiss Dream [2nd 5/4] will be a tough opponent if back to her best.

Wow! Punting doesn't get much better than yesterday.  Seven races assessed, four top-rated winners at 9/4, 3/1, 9/1 & 9/2, two second or joint second rated at 7/2 and 3/1, three seconds and two thirds - including three straight forecasts.
