Race Tip

SHIMMERING SANDS (1) travels south in pursuit of a hat-trick after back to back wins at Pontefract with most recent effort end of June being impressive by 7L. Oisin Murphy is a positive jockey booking and hard to fault against this small field. LUCKY HERO (2) won well after being supported in the market at Redcar a week ago winning by 5L. Warrants thought as looks capable of offering more though the assessor hasn't missed him and this will demand a career best. BLUE NOON (3) remains a maiden. Progressed last time out at Sandown Park while this small field may suit better. Market check advised.
