Sunday's Tips 

*** Ballymac Axel - 3.38 Hove 15/8

** Tricky Wiggles - 4.24 Sheffield 1/1

* Bluey Bullet - 4.44 Oxford 13/2

There are a string of odds on favourites at Hove this afternoon, including in all three semi-finals of the Coral Gold Collar. One of those who went out in the opening round last week makes the most appeal on the card in Ballymac Axel. He was unfortunate to end up in a heat that included Derby winner Droopys Plunge, spending the opening two bends bumping with the runner outside him before having to do an enormous amount of running from the second bend to even get close to qualifying. He should lead up the six here which means he can take the line he wants into the opening bend. With a clear run, he'd be 29-dead over this 500m which would set a stiff target for the others.

Tricky Wiggles has hit a patch of excellent form of late around Sheffield, winning his last three starts. A pair of those were A1 contests, following that up with an invitational win a fortnight back. Those three wins were covered by five spots, so he is wonderfully consistent at present. His most recent win saw him beat the re-opposing Romeo Force, who is probably his main danger on the form book again this afternoon. 

There are probably quicker dogs in the final of the KAB Puppy Collar this afternoon at Oxford than Bluey Bullet, but there are none who have such a nice draw. Outa The Clouds is the favourite but the red jacket is a niggling concern, especially with a 39kg monster outside him in Ollie The Ox. Scooby Diamond has to clear the pair of them with Jacktavern Don moving left from five as he has from four, ending his own chance in the semis of the Romford Puppy Cup when moving left straight into Scooby Diamond. Bluey Bullet was only a length and three-quarters behind Outa The Clouds last week, is improving with each look and is capable of coming away better than he has. He will have the outside to himself and could produced a minor surprise.
