Horse Racing: Expect a stylish performance from Silk Cravat at Killarney tonight

Sedgefield 14:50 – Eyes Of A Tiger 13/8 – 2pts

Goes chasing for the first time today and looks the chief threat to the odds-on favourite. He should have the measure of the remainder of the field on these terms and it’s questionable how much the favourite actually showed when winning last time out.

Beverley 17:00 – Gloriousus 5/1 – 1pt each-way

Related to some very useful performers, he started odds-on for his debut at Musselburgh but missed the break and could never get into contention. Better will be expected of Mark Johnston’s colt today and at the prices rates an each-way bet to nothing.

18:50 – Silk Cravat 2/1 – 3pts

Had decent form in maidens and handicaps for Simon Crisford in the UK last season and although he is more exposed than the rest of the field he sets a clear standard on known form. If able to run to the levels he showed previously, it will take a big run from one of his rivals to beat him.

Chepstow 20:10 – American Patrol 8/1 – 0.5pt each-way

Landed a gamble when winning at Wolverhampton over 7f before flopping when sent off favourite at Kempton nine days later. He’s been given a break since and in a race that lacks any real depth, a small chance is taken on the 3yo bouncing back.
