TODAY'S TIPS (FRIDAY)

Dean Kilbryde looks ahead to the best of Friday's action and pinpoints two runner worth following at Chepstow and Sandown. 18:26 CHEPSTOW

Prefer The Sister arrives here in top form, winning her last two with Mason Paetel in the saddle for both, and with her due to go up 9lbs in the near future she can strike again and notch the hat-trick before that rise takes effect. On Key carries a 5lbs penalty for victory on the all-weather last time out, his sole career victory to date, so the bigger danger looks to be Sioux Warrior who won over track and trip last time out and still has scope for better having won off 63 in the past.

Although five go to post, this looks between Hot And Cold and Cyrano De Bergerac. The former is a two-time winner over a mile and was only beaten a head when last seen eleven days ago. Today sees a step up in trip so with stamina already assured ready preference is for the John & Thady Gosden runner Cyrano De Bergerac who won over today’s trip with ease at Nottingham last month, making all and being able to be eased down towards the line yet still winning by three lengths. Luke Catton keeps the ride and should be able to steer his mount to victory here.
