RPGTV Tips: Best bets for Hove, Romford and Monmore

There's plenty of action to get involved with over the next few days

Hove and Monmore provide the open-race hors d'oeuvres before the cut and thrust of the Derby second round kicks in at Wimbledon on Friday and Saturday - and The Lord is all over the action on Thursday live on RPGTV (Channel 212)... 

Most valuable race is at Monmore where a 630m final see Aghaburren Paddy (20:42) try to repeat his heat win. Charlie Lister's dog held on well in his qualifier and same tactics again could see him strike i.e off the front. Expect a better start from Joscar which could leave strong Afew Dollarsmore chopped for room inside.

On to Hove where Your A Champ (20:18) will again try to prove she's the track star now. She'll soon be blazing a trail here having got back on track last week and will be one for the money-buyers, although keep an eye on improving Dacent Rodgers.

After Liz (21:06) looks a potential improver with just a debut victory on her card and a decent enough trial ahead of this maiden open to strike, while Princess Pati (21:24) is above ready to step up in class and her early pace will be tough to hold in a bitches' open.

Droopys Casspi (21:40) is a decent sprinter who will soon be forcing the issue stepping up in distance to 475m with a fast start set to give him the advantage in the short run to the bend.

Slippery Patch (21:56) ran on well enough last week on his Hove return and could take advantage of a terrific draw inside. This is a track he tends to run well at, as does standing dish Malbay Phanter (22:11). He's a real star over 475m here and will again keep wide and power down the back straight after getting no luck at Wimbledon in the Derby heats. Airtech Alfie is improving after a break and looks the value alternative.

Tibetan Skies (22:26) has been thrilling clockwatchers of late and his strong running style may again may hay in the lucky last.

On to Friday and sharing the stage with Wimbledon will be Romford and their usual cluster of open races.

Billymatt (19:31) should get back on track in the opening sprint after missing it last week, while Jaytee Thunder (20:18) looks a pup going places after last week's win and another show of early pace and likely improvement might seal the deal again.

Bridge Ruth (20:34) had no luck at Wimbledon in the Derby heats but is interesting up in trip here and could out-stay likely leader Rays Request.

Droopys Quincy (20:50) will love the trip and draw in the puppy open, while Rathanny Annie's (21:06) early dash could soon make hay in the bitches' contest.

Droopys Xavier (21:24) wasn't disgraced in the heats so could strike gold in the Doug Tyler Summer Cup final with the inside draw a real help if he can worry the likes of Head Iton Tom and Airforce Roger into the turn.

Fabulous Agenda (21:40) is fancied to get first run on Guinness Sky in a terrific duel over 400m, while Sharons Return (22:11) has scope for improvement after just two races back following a layoff and might well reverse recent form in a cracking event.

Lenson Pele (22:26) can kick fellow earlybird Bridge Jane into tough in their intriguing 575m clash, while the lucky last vote goes the way of impressive Coventry winner Aayamzalad (22:40)
