BEST BET

DE BERGERAC (Race 8 No. 1): The four-year-old raced consistently last time in and has trialled well leading up to his return. Expecting a bold first-up run.

NEXT BEST

BOSSY STAR (Race 2 No. 1): Has placed at his past five runs, including when resuming at Sale last month. He can break through on Thursday.

WALK OF FAME (Race 7 No. 11): Chased home a smart winner at Sale when resuming so will be much fitter. Rain-affected ground won’t worry her.

VALUE BET

STYLE GUIDE (Race 4 No. 11): The mare hasn’t been far away at both runs this time in over shorter trips. Her pedigree suggests she will thrive over 2200m at Sale.
