Romford Race 6 - Neil Blackburn Birthday Stakes
BLACKBURNYBULLET (4) boasts a strong record this course with six wins and five minors from 17 tries. Below best last time at Central Park (16.56) in a OR1, finishing a 3 length fourth. Looks a leading chance on best. DISTANT HIKER (3) has been in super consistent form, finishing in the minors at his last five runs. Last time finished 2nd in a OR on June 13 over 491m at Central Park behind Rural Pest beaten 1.3 lengths (29.41). Form from his last run is proving strong. Will give a great sight again. STORMY PAT (5) is a capable type and proved too classy last time to win by 6 lengths at Romford in a handy 24.10 beating Chelms Simmo. Goes very well from this draw with 12 wins and seven minor placings from 29 starts. One of the key runners again. KILARA ZACH (6) generally performs well from this box.

Below best last start when he finished last on May 30 over 491m at Central Park behind Bushpark Cathal beaten 10 lengths (29.84) in a OR. Be tough to make an impression against this lot.

Could only manage fifth last time out over 400m at Romford, adding to some plain results of late. Likely to find this too tough.

Flew the lids with a sizzling split and led throughout with a 6 length win over 400m at Romford (24.10). Winner last time and looks well placed again. Worth following up.
