Get your morning off to a flyer by banking on DIRECT RUSSIAN (Trap 4) to get the job done in the 11.04am at Harlow.
This is surely the stand out bet of the morning and, by my estimation, this progressive sort could have this two-bend-sprint sewn up at lids rise.
The 4 dog boasts a highly progressive profile when comparing it's last three runs and sets the standard on adjusted times by a mile and then some.
Even more impressive when you bear in mind that DIRECT RUSSIAN has experienced bumping or crowding in all three of his latest outings, yet still sets such a high standard compared to today's inferior rivals; he won't need lady luck on his side to get the job done in tidy fashion.
The Racing Post has chalked this one up at 3/1 in it's odds forecast.
Personally, I'll be mopping anything and everything over even money; if anyone gets a whiff of 3/1 early doors it certainly wont last!
