Don't miss out on these each-way bets for Thursday, September 6
With five meetings across the country on Thursday, there are plenty of opportunities to make some money.
We've picked out some of those at a bigger price we feel could be in the mix at juicy odds.
5.20 Salisbury - Ship Of The Fen
Was well backed last time out at Kempton but could never get make headway and it's likely he didn't appreciate the synthetic surface. Back on turf he also has something to prove, but he is only 2lb higher than his last winning mark and now gets first-time blinkers which should liven him up. Oisin Murphy is on board and that could make the difference.
Never landed any sort of a blow last time out when strongly fancied but can be given a very good chance on his earlier efforts when twice finishing second in decent races. The handicapper has dropped him 2lb since his last run which is a bonus and now Dan Skelton has opted to fit him with first-time blinkers. He still looks well enough handicapped to get his head in front and he's got enough talent to land a race of this nature.
