Birchy’s tip: Raknah

Both of Raknah’s wins have been on the all-weather. She is only 2lb higher than when scoring over 7f at Lingfield and can complete her hat-trick with the step back up to a mile in her favour.

Birchy’s tip: Smart Hero

Smart Hero shaped nicely when second on his debut over 7f at Kempton this month. Granted normal improvement, he should take all the beating, with the longer trip sure to suit.

Birchy’s tip: Prydwen

Prydwen competes off a career-high mark, but is clearly in the best form of his life at present. He boasts a 42 per cent strike-rate on the all-weather.

Birchy’s tip: Twilight Romance

Twilight Romance got stuck in the mud at Pontefract when sent off the 11-8 favourite on his seasonal reappearance. This surface should be more suitable.
