Best bets for today's racing from our Starform expert Steve Curry

PLEASANT MAN (3.38, nap) looks an agreeable proposition as he bids for a repeat win in the Midnite A Next Generation Betting App Handicap at Southwell.

- 

Joey Ramsden’s (below) eight-year-old has dropped back to a mark 6lb lower than when winning this 1m6f contest 12 months ago.

And although he has been more miss than hit since then, he caught the eye with a decent third at Chelmsford last time where a wide trip compromised his chance.

With a better rub of the green he should be a player.

In the preceding Always Gamble Responsibly At BetMGM Handicap, TALIS EVOLVERE (3.03) can have a big say after starting the year with a bang.
