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

Sir Michael Stoute: trainer landed a valuable double with Abingdon and Swiftsure
Sir Michael Stoute: trainer of the improving handicapper Precision

BANKER

(4.10 Nottingham)

Sir Michael Stoute's team are in flying form of late and when the master trainer has an improving three-year-old colt you have to take note. Precision is just that having stepped up on three promising maiden runs to win over 1m6f at Sandown on his handicap debut earlier this month. He beat three useful rivals that day despite being struck into when making his move close home and a rise of just 4lb shouldn't stop him, especially with his nice racing weight of 8st 2lb.

DARK HORSE

(5.30 Catterick)

Racegoers visiting the North Yorkshire track will be hoping to bang in a winner in the Amateur Riders' Handicap to open the card and Sellingallthetime looks to have a great chance under Serena Brotherton. The exposed six-year-old has run consistently well in five starts this season, which is more than can be said about most of these, and has a solid record at the track (form figures 23152).

EYECATCHER

Boragh Steps(3.45 Newbury)

Joseph O'Brien has just one runner in England on Friday as his thrice-raced two-year-old Boragh Steps bids to add a Listed success to her CV. She brings solid form to the table with a victory in a Fairyhouse maiden over six furlongs on her second start – the runner-up scored next time out – before finishing third in a good race at the Curragh won by Fleet Review. Fran Berry partners her for the first time here and she should handle the step back in trip.
