The Evening Punt: Robbie Wilders' horse racing tip at Salisbury on Friday

EYECATCHER

Quickthorn (6.15 Salisbury)

The figures tell us Berkshire Rocco will win the 1m6f conditions race at Salisbury, but this will be his first run in 202 days and first in Britain since last April so I'm keen to take him on, particularly as the ground will be probably be faster than ideal for him. Any rustiness will be exposed by the in-form Quickthorn, who nearly plundered the Ebor last time and is on a sharp upward curve. He is rated 7lb inferior of Berkshire Rocco and must concede 4lb, but represents decent value against the hot favourite.
