Although a progressive five-year-old, it would take a brave man to back Evens And Odds at 7-1 with race sponsors William Hill, considering his strike-rate reads three wins from 29 starts.
BRAVE PROSPECTOR (nap), however, is a four-year-old on an upward curve and possessing a touch of class, can land the spoils (3.10, Channel 4).
A well-bred son of champion sprinter Oasis Dream, he has had a light campaign with just four runs this season.
His Stewards' Cup effort last month, when making eye-catching late headway from a draw on the 'wrong' side of the track, was franked last time when landing a decent handicap over an extended six-furlongs at Doncaster.
While the colt carries a 5lb penalty, 3lb of that is negated by highly capable apprentice Jack Mitchell's claim and Brave Prospector runs off a mark of 97 - which he has won from previously.
With his confidence boosted, the Peter Chapple-Hyam runner is great value at around 16-1, particularly as he is drawn near the pace horses in stall 20 and has the good ground he relishes. He remains open to improvement.
At bigger prices, Tombi appeals. He has run some fine races in defeat this season, notably when a length second to Regal Parade at York over seven furlongs. All his wins have come at tomorrow's trip on quick ground and the 40-1 with Hills looks too big.
