Romford best bets: Torpedo value to triumph in Coral Essex Vase Final

Although he has finished behind T3 Toolmaker Rambo and T4 Clondoty Alex in recent outings there is every reason to believe he can gain his revenge.

With Clonodty Alex sure to be cutting in at the first bend, and three early paced sorts on his inner, there is a distinct possibility of a coming together.

With a slick exit Pass To Go has enough pace to clear T5 Crossfield James and looks ideally housed to capitalise and make all.

Dashing Star to shine in marathon test

T5 Dashing Star looks decent value to turn over red-hot favourite T4 Droopys Lucinda in the Win Online, Collect Cash In Shop With Connect over a stamina sapping 925m at 20:51.

John Mullins’ dog is a tough and consistent performer who showed what he is capable of when making all to slam the smart Droopys Cottage by seven lengths over 750m at the track back in August.

He produced a rapid 24.36 sectional to win in a time of 47.13 and that is much better than Lucinda’s best winning time of 47.94 over the trip.

Dashing Star has also held his form well since that victory, winning four times, and boasts some strong form to his name over marathon trips.

With Droopys Lucinda also devoid of early pace and having to ride his luck in the opening stages, Dashing Star looks ideally housed as the sole middle seed to ping out and put his rivals to the sword.

Billys Bullet worth a shot Mitch Millward Memorial Marathon Final

In the Mitch Millward Memorial Marathon Final (20:51), T1 Billys Bullet looks capable of springing a surprise and bagging another big race success in what has been a glittering career.

The Mark Wallis trained son of Ace Hi Rumble has been a terrific servant and overcame serious injury to win the final of this year’s Coral Regency at Hove back in May.

Billys Bullet has since posted a series of solid efforts and is a tremendous competition dog who always gives his best.

He performed with great credit to get to the final of the St Leger at Wimbledon and comes into the race in good heart having won over course and distance before finishing a fine second to T4 Slick Sebastian in last week’s heats for this.

Bullet missed the kick slightly in the latter but showed good early pace and rode a couple of bumps before keeping on really well to go down by 1 3/4 lengths.

It was a fine effort given how the race panned out and granted a slicker exit he looks a massive player if leading on the inside or getting a clear to the bend and turning in a handy pitch.
