Timeform Radio Tips: Machine can take it to the Max

Two of today's bets come from Warwick

Graham Cunningham is your pundit on Timeform Radio this afternoon. Read on for his three best bets...

The mission is simple and revolves around winning some coarse banknotes to offset heavy Arc de Triomphe expenses in Paris this weekend.

Easier said than done is the phrase that comes to mind after digesting most of Thursday's Flat action, but Max The Machine, Cape of Hope and Best Trip offer some hope of a windfall.

Max The Machine offers clear win and place mileage in Southwell's 15:30 on the basis of his promising second here two starts ago and the return to this deep surface looks a major plus against two main market rivals with no Fibresand experience.

It's all about potential with Cape of Hope, but Peter Chapple-Hyam's colt went to Doncaster with a fair reputation on his debut and showed enough in a strong maiden to warrant healthy respect in what is surely a lesser contest for Warwick's 16:10.

Last but not least we have Best Trip in Warwick's 17:10. Granted, this is a warm handicap, but Best Trip is bang in form after two fine efforts under similar conditions and his easy going style gives him definite back to lay potential.

Thursday recommendations

Back Max The Machine win and place in the 15:30 at Southwell
Back Cape of Hope in the 16:10 Warwick
Back Best Trip in the 17:10 at Warwick, and lay off at 3.02/1 in running
