Today's best bet is Taqaat in the 16:30 at Beverley

Today's best bet is Taqaat in the 16:30 at Beverley

"Taqaat had subsequent winner Maywood just two lengths ahead in second on that occasion and, with improvement expected, he should have enough to see off Power Packed."

Timeform's Adam Brookes believes he's found something for everyone today, with three selections spread across three different meetings.

On first glance, the opener at Warwick may look unsolvable but it could be worth taking a chance on James Unett's Crucis Abbey, who has just his second try in a handicap and may yet have more to offer. A solid second in a maiden at Wolverhampton on his seasonal reappearance, Crucis Abbey had previously finished a close fourth in a nursery at the same track, off a mark 8 lb higher than the one he competes off today. With the booking of Jamie Spencer a further positive and the yard's last two runners having both finished runner-up, a big run is anticipated.

The three-year-old maiden at Beverley (16:30) doesn't look very strong and it's one in which Mark Johnston's Taqaat should be able to get his head in front after an encouraging debut fourth to Oasis Storm at Wolverhampton in October. Taqaat had subsequent winner Maywood just two lengths ahead in second on that occasion and, with improvement expected, he should have enough to see off Power Packed, who was very disappointing at Chester on his final start last year.

The final advised bet is Tobernea, also trained by Mark Johnston, who runs in the closing staying handicap at Yarmouth. Tobernea was progressive last year, winning three of his first four starts and, with his final outing easily forgiven, there's every chance that he'll climb further up the handicap this term. With just four rivals to conquer today, he should be able to dominate over a trip that holds no fear for him, and it will be disappointing if he doesn't come home in front before going on to better things.

Recommendations

Back Crucis Abbey @ [8.0] Warwick 14:10
Back Taqaat @ [2.42] Beverley 16:30
Back Tobernea @ [2.82] Yarmouth 17:20
