Given the form he has been in this month, going to tag in Clint Johnston-Porter and tip Saloon Bar as a value bet in Race 7.

This 4yo has had three runs back from a spell so will be rock hard fit. He got a fair way back last time and hit the line nicely.

He wasn't clear until the last furlong and got moving well thereafter. With the barrier, he will be out of trouble, tracking some up and closing fast.

Also, the gelding has found a slightly easier grade of race and will handle any type of going.

The Jolly Beggar Stakes is the main race where we see the return of Baby Paris after her win in The Joey.

This mare used a good barrier to land in a lovely spot in running. From there she eased around the two leaders' heels on the corner, dashed on them then held on.

Importantly for this week she flies fresh and loves soft ground if that occurs. That all sends a bad message to rivals.

Her overall form around good horses stands up around the land.
