Another day of exciting racing ahead of us and Alex Jack has the selections and analysis for three races at Nottingham and Ayr.

18:20 Nottingham

Eponina to Win and Each-way 15/8 @ - BET NOW

Mick Appleby’s yard have hit some form again in recent weeks with seven winners from the last 32 runners he’s sent out and he has a progressive four-year-old filly who looks worthy of support over at Nottingham on Tuesday evening.

Eponina may have been a 10-race maiden for Ben Haslem, but she’s been absolutely flying since joining her new connections and her course and distance success in a fillies’ handicap last time out was a career best performance despite the small field.

A winner at Leicester earlier in the campaign, she’s clearly a filly going places at present and the daughter of Zoffany looks set to get her own way out in front again here. There’s no better jockey to execute those tactics than Champion Jockey Silvestre De Sousa and the Brazillian ought to be capable of dictating terms. 

From just a 2lb higher mark than her latest success, she ought to be outright favourite for this contest.

In opposition, Ski Blast could be the one to keep on side. He won a competitive handicap at Doncaster when last seen nearly a year ago, a second career win and he was seemingly finding his form at that point of the season.

It’s a concern he’s not been seen since, and that’s why the selection makes more appeal, but Ski Blast’s trainer Ivan Furtado is capable of readying them off a break and this seven-year-old could be the main danger back in trip here.

19:25 Nottingham

Revelon to Win and Each-way 11/8 @ - BET NOW

Later on the card, Silvestre De Sousa and Mick Appleby team up again, this time with Reveleon and the pair look capable of improving on their 22% record at the course. The three-year-old gelding has his first start for his new yard here, but he’s shown plenty of promise in his two turf outings, particularly his course and distance effort when runner-up earlier in the campaign.

The yard has a fine record with new recruits from other yards, a strike-rate of nearly 17% first time out for the trainer and this gelding has shown enough in his six starts to date to suggest he will find himself in the winners’ enclosure sooner rather than later.

18:45 Ayr

Dark Defender to Win and Each-way 7/2 @ - BET NOW 

Dark Defender looks like a horse that’s going to benefit from some of the recent rain they have had north of the border and while he was too keen last time out, a drop in trip over a course and distance he has won over should see him settle better.

Furthermore, the yard have hit some form in recent weeks and even the ones that aren’t winning are doing themselves justice. This five-year-old should probably be favourite for this and he represents some value in the race.
