5-1 Ninja still swift enough to trouble Winner; PRICEWISE.


Byline: Peter Meldrum says Boherduff Monti is the value against the Scurry champion

SKY Sports covers new ground tonight with a first visit to Doncaster where the final of the William Hill The name William Hill may refer to the following: People

That said, a best-priced 1-2 is no value and she can be opposed with Swift Ninja, who looks the one most capable of upstaging the jolly.

, leading home Bubbly Kate by a couple of lengths.

That was his first competitive outing in a month and it should have sharpened him up for tonight's decider.

The sole seeded runner in tonight's line-up, he is perfectly drawn in trap six and this reliable trapper can dart to the front before the first bend. Then, with a distinct possibility of the inside runners crowding on the opening turns, it is anticipated that Swift Ninja establishes a long lead by half-way.

By no means the strongest runner in the line-up, he will be susceptible at the finish should either the favourite or Swift Jade, for that matter, turn in pursuit.

He is no certainty, but if you failed to back him at the long odds, he does look a very plausible alternative to the favourite at the 5-1 available this morning.

 draw in the first of the televised races and is fancied to get favourite backers off to a winning start.

Boherbradda Mac, fresh from his brilliant win in last week's Scurry Gold Cup, is not surprisingly a very warm order for the sprint.

There is no doubt he looks the most likely winner and VC can expect to do plenty of business at their 8-11. However, he faces a very useful sort in Boherduff Monti, who did us a favour when winning at Oxford recently, and that after missing his break. In a race that looks a match, Jenny White's dog has to be considered outstanding value at the 7-2 chalked up by Paddy Power.

The William Hill British-Bred Stakes looks a wide-open affair on paper and, not surprisingly, bookmakers are offering 100-30 the field. But as the sole wide seed, Cortsway Giants enjoys an undeniable advantage and is worth backing at the generally available 5-1.

Bubbly Rambo is set to lead up in the 661m event and is fancied to maintain the lead throughout, so the 4-1 with Blue Square makes plenty of appeal.

Drawn nearer the fence, Vieris Surprise would have been the bet in the 8.35, while the 9.25 is just to tough to call.
