Timeform Radio Tips: Thursday bets at Ffos Las and Thirsk

David has two bets on Thursday

David Cleary provides bets at Ffos Las and Thirsk.

A quiet afternoon is in store for the cautious punter, many of the 23 races at Brighton, Ffos Las and Thirsk having a trappy or unappealing look to them. For those of a more ambitious bent, here are options in a low-grade handicap chase and a bargain-basement sprint.

The 14:50 at Ffos Las sees six due to go to post, but the outcome should rest between Mr Gee Jay and Nothingbutthetruth.

Mr Gee Jay showed improved form after a break when winning here a month ago, less testing ground a possible factor in his improvement. He's gone up a stone in the weights for that success, but has the potential to progress further and will be competitive again, particularly if he jumps as well as he did that day. The one slight concern with him is the three-furlong drop in trip. 

Nothingbutthetruth's has shown the extent of his ability to a greater extent but after slipping plenty in the weights he bounced right back to form at Fontwell last week. Only an inspired Tony McCoy on Calypso Bay denied Nothingbutthetruth that day, the pair well clear, the winner another to have fallen down the handicap (14 lb below previous winning mark) and therefore potentially thrown in. If Nothingbutthetruth can reproduce that Fontwell run, then Mr Gee Jay would need to better his last run by a lot to get the better of him. Nothingbutthetruth looks the one to be with.

The 0-60 five-furlong handicap at Thirsk, due off at 14:40, is not a race to get heavily involved in, but See Vermont could be worth chancing at a suitably big price. He hasn't run at five furlongs on good going or firmer since 2011, but is well in here on the pick of his efforts under such conditions then. He raced only on soft ground last year, running respectably second time, and was well backed on his polytrack debut/reappearance at Wolverhampton six weeks ago. See Vermont ran as if needing the race that day but showed signs of promise and hopefully will be sharper today. 

Recommended Bets
Back Nothingbutthetruth @ 4.3100/30 in the 14:50 at Ffos Las
Back See Vermont @ 18.017/1 in the 14:40 at Thirsk
