15:45 Beverley – Style Of Life – 1pt @ 18/1

It’s hard to know whether Style Of Life will be able to perform here, with her sole run this season coming a few months ago at York and yielding next to nothing as she weakened away.

Since that outing, her trainer stated on a stable tour that she was held up beforehand with a muscle issue and she has also bled in the past, both of which could explain the tame finish.

Time off could see those issues go onto the backburner and she’ll be happier granted this stiffer test in a smaller field, where she’s less likely to get forced into going to quick from an early stage.

I don’t think a rating of 75 is an issue, especially with Ethan Tindall booked to remove his 5lb claim (4-9 for the yard), and the draw in the second lowest stall has been kind.

The risk obviously lies with her well-being and that’s something I haven’t got a clue about, but the price offers enough leeway to deem her worthy of taking a chance on.

She’s also entered up again on Friday at Thirsk and last year’s first win came on the back of a 161-day break, then she scored again soon after. 

Hopefully she could repeat the trick and, for all that it’s less likely this time around, the best version of her has more than enough talent to put it up to all of these.
