Perry Barr Race Fields - 16th May 2024

FLYHIGH PEBBLES (trap 4) is the one who takes the eye in this line-up and hopefully she will enjoy a clear run and get the job done without too many dramas. There's invariably plenty of interest in Flyhigh Sophie (trap 2) and she has a big chance. Donishall Daisy (trap 6) will not be far away if surging into an early lead.

Put simply, TAHINA MAVERICK (trap 1) is one of the bankers of the day. Ticking plenty of the right boxes, he will hopefully oblige if avoiding serious grief. The grader lends Easy Alpha (trap 6) a hand and it may well trigger an improved performance. Lynnia Tsara (trap 2) gets a drop in class and is no back number.

Cramped odds are expected on SHORTWOOD FRANKY (trap 4) such is the chance he holds and he can have this contest in safe keeping on the run for home. Drumcrow Andi (trap 6) races well to the opening turn and will be hopeful of stealing a march. Phoenix Rocket (trap 1) is on the shortlist and he has a part to play in proceedings.

The bookies tend to chalk up HOLLYHILL MURPH (trap 6) tentatively for a reason and there's no doubt that he has a real good chance of nailing this. Leave A Legacy (trap 5) wouldn't be the strongest in a finish, but may set a strong gallop. Ballymac Bar (trap 3) would be a player if the downgrade activates his into gear.

This could be as simple as looking no further than DROOPYS CUSTOM (trap 6) as he looks far superior to his rivals and can quickly stamp his authority on matters. Dromana Bee (trap 4) is in with a chance and she would be dangerous if getting a clear run early. Firecrackerheidi (trap 5) is no back number and has a part to play in the finish.

The bookies are often cautious when it comes to RADIANT STYLE (trap 3) and no-one would begrudge them such an approach in this as she does look good. Mary (trap 5) will be a big danger if getting the nominal good fortune required. Flyhigh Samartha (trap 2) has a chance but all things considered does only look third best.

SILVERHILL DUKE (trap 1) was recently on the winner's podium and he could well be back on it after this race as it looks no harder a task. The confidence behind Taffy Disney (trap 5) increases now she is downgraded and she should make a race of it. The recent 'first' on the card of Not Proper (trap 6) is encouraging.

For those punters that like getting stuck into a short one, AMAZING PIXIE (trap 3) could prove irresistible in this contest as she does look the part. Cold Knight (trap 6) slips down in class and that can only be seen as a positive. Affane Lunar (trap 1) may be chalked up at big odds but she could out-run them.

There is likely to be plenty of interest in SAYS YOU SPOOFER (trap 5) again today as he looks to have found another realistic opening. Market confidence can often centre around Ballymurphy Shiv (trap 2) and it may not be misguided. Leathems Buick (trap 1) may struggle to take the top loot but he is certainly in with some sort of chance.

SPARTA KIN (trap 4) looks to have a decent chance in this and he is fancied to have matters in hand when it comes to the wire. Soldiers Missile (trap 1) has returned a fair batch of practice spins and will be a threat if handling the occasion. Classy Slab (trap 3) had a recent taste of success and shouldn't fail through a lack of effort.

BLACKLABEL BOB (trap 1) will need a bit of good fortune early but he is capable of bossing proceedings at the business end of the contest if getting it. Always Wishing (trap 3) should be in there pitching at the business end and is rightly feared. Will early bird Headford Mike (trap 2) catch the worm? It's fair to say he has a chance to.

WHENDPENNYDROPS (trap 5) is the one that catches the eye in this field and she should take some holding with anything like a trouble-free round. While the selection will probably win, Adeles Lilly (trap 4) is certainly one of the bigger threats. Tokens Magic (trap 1) shouldn't go home empty-handed, but the others might.
