BEST OF THE REST (SATURDAY)

16:05 SOUTHWELL

Wasn't at his best when last seen at this venue but So Grateful should appreciate a step back to six furlongs. He finished second when last tackling this course and distance and with crack amateur jockey Serena Brotherton in the saddle he could show more than he has of late.

SO GRATEFUL (E/W)

16:10 ASCOT

Unfortunately the promising Kingston Pride couldn't deliver in a Grade 2 contest last time and connections were left stumped with his lacklustre performance. However there's no doubt they'll hope he atones for that defeat and can make up for it in this much weaker contest. Although a lot has to be taken on trust that he's back to his best and his recent run was just a blip but if he returns to form he should dominate this level of opposition.

KINGSTON PRIDE (WIN)

19:25 NEWCASTLE

Although Rory may have raced yesterday (Friday) I wouldn't be put off backing him if he takes up this entry. His form has improved and he returns to this grade for the first time in a while. An open contest but a definite each-way option for punters.

RORY (E/W)
