Verdict

A listed sprint now restricted to 3-y-os and CALICO BLUE gets the verdict to maintain his unbeaten course record. Jazl has done little wrong this season and should be in the mix, with Group 2 winner Lifeplan another to consider despite his long absence.

4	Gelded and vastly improved this year, landing Windsor maiden and handicaps at Leicester and Newmarket. Only blip on his record this season came at Royal Ascot in June, which can be comfortably excused, and he looks sure to be involved again. 2nd Pick 4 Jazl (Ire) Jockey: Jack Mitchell Trainer: Simon & Ed Crisford J: Jack Mitchell T: Simon & Ed Crisford	99	-	-	-	20%

5	Looked good prospect when landing a Thirsk novice on debut before following up in the Gimcrack at York. Fitness has to be taken on trust after over 11 months off and, though the latter race has taken plenty of knocks since, has to be respected given the promise shown last year. 3rd Pick 5 Lifeplan (Ire) Jockey: Zak Wheatley Trainer: Declan Carroll J: Zak Wheatley T: Declan Carroll	99	-	-	-	13%

Main Track Only

A horse entered for main track only (MTO) is one hoping the weather forecast or track conditions will move the race off the turf course and onto the main track. They are scratched the morning of the race if the conditions stay dry.

Tack

The equipment the horse wears, including saddle and bridle. A jockey typically has their own racing saddle, placed on each horse they ride just before the race.

Exacta

A bet selecting the first and second horses in a race in the correct order. An exacta box refers to paying a little more to ensure they can finish in either order.
