Today's best bets, by Greg Wood
Today's bank holiday means that quantity overtakes quality in terms of the number of meetings, but, though the jumps card at Ffos Las is decidedly thin, with an average of just under six runners in each of the jumps races, there are fair fields for most of the remaining meetings and a few horses worth a second look.
Dubai Dynamo (3.50) looked to be coming to the boil before his latest start at Ayr, but had no luck at all in running and eventually finished fifth of seven. At around 13-2, he is well worth backing to return to winning form at Beverley, while Grasped (3.15), whose trainer, Lady Cecil, had a winner at Newmarket yesterday, looks progressive and a likely winner at the same track.
Jamie Spencer is an interesting booking for Christopher Chua (2.00 Bath), who likes to be held up and should have a decent pace to chase, while Where The Boys Are (3.05), Marjong (3.00) and Caulfields Venture (3.25) are the pick of the cards at Warwick, Windsor and Kempton respectively.
