Andrew found placed horses at 14-1 and 12-1 from his two surviving picks on Saturday and has two more on Sunday, August 18th…

SOUTHWELL 3.20

SAYTARR (system – Mehmas, all-weather nurseries)

Progeny of the sire Mehmas have a good record in nursery company on the all-weather, landing 23 of their 129 starts (17.8% strike-rate) for a profit of £81.54 to a £1 level stake at SP (expected winners = 16.18, A/E = 1.42). SAYTARR has shown promise in maiden/novice company on turf, including when keeping on into a 12-1 third at Ffos Las on his latest start. The switch to handicap company could bring about improvement and he’s worth chancing at what should be a decent price (he’s forecast to start at 10-1).

SOUTHWELL 5.25

DUE DATE (system – Due Diligence, visor)

Progeny of the sire Due Diligence have a useful record when visored (for the first time or otherwise), landing 13 of their 61 starts (21.3%) for a profit of £30.95 to a £1 level stake at SP (expected winners = 7.58, A/E = 1.72). DUE DATE has contributed three of those wins and will be happier back on Tapeta after his modest sixth on turf at Lingfield last time.
