The Punt Daily: Tom Collins with three to follow on Friday

BANKER

Just A Thought (1.20 Warwick)

Getting the fillies and mares allowance of 7lb, Just A Thought looks a sure thing to score at the second time of asking over hurdles for trainer Rebecca Curtis. A talented bumper performer, the daughter of Stowaway ran extremely well to finish second in a Chepstow novice hurdle last month – form that has been boosted since. She faces the exposed No Buts and Paul Nicholls' Bill And Barn, but this presents a much easier opportunity than last time out and she should win.

STAT ATTACK

Maricruz(5.45 Newcastle)

Paul Hanagan has ridden four winners from just seven rides for Irish trainer John McConnell this year and he can enhance that record aboard the two-year-old Maricruz. The daughter of Most Improved showed clear signs of ability when sixth on debut at Dundalk behind a talented winner and any improvement will see her at the forefront of this contest.

IRISH ANGLE

Glenmoore(8.30 Dundalk)

Padraig Beggy is banging in the winners of late and he can help Glenmoore follow up his recent victory in division one of the 7f handicap. The son of Equiano ran an absolute cracker two starts back to narrowly go down to an in-form rival and made amends when scoring easily over this course and distance off a mark of 57 last time out. Only raised 2lb for that victory, he looks certain to run well.
