Ted’s Treble: Tuesday’s choices from Salisbury and Fontwell
After a terrific show at Epsom last week, Ed 'Longshot Ted' Quigley is back with his best bets for Salisbury and Fontwell on Tuesday...
Grenham Bay e/w - 3.00PM Salisbury (6/1)
This is a really trappy encounter, where in some shape or form you can make a case for all of the runners. I am going to give an each-way nod to the Andrew Balding trained GRENHAM BAY.

The five-year-old has produced a mixed bag in decent times on the all-weather, but got the job done in good style when scoring at Kempton in February.
The gelding has a decent record on a synthetic surface, but remains largely unexposed on turf and it is worth noting that the sole career success on turf in 10 outings came when winning over this course and distance.
That win came off a BHA rating of 75, so doesn't look unfairly treated getting to tackle this assignment off 2lb lower. Oisin Murphy is back in the saddle, and with the cheekpieces refitted it wouldn't be a surprise if Grenham Bay got involved at the business end of proceedings.
Club Class e/w - 4.30PM Salisbury
The James Fanshawe team are in great form at the moment, operating at around a 25% strike-rate for the last fortnight, and the thoroughly unexposed filly is one to keep an eye on.
She's only had the three starts, and improved with each run - last time out she showed even more progress when stepping up to this course and distance for the first time in a novice event.
The daughter of Frankel goes Handicapping here off a mark of 74, and they may totally underestimate her untapped potential in this grade.
The small field she raced in last time out may not have played to her strengths, as she was a bit free and tanked to the front; she has a big field scenario here which could see her buried in the pack and switched off.
Daniel Muscutt has been amongst the winners lately, and he takes the ride on this improving sort who could easily have more to offer.
She Is For Me Boys - 6.20PM Fontwell (8/11)
Jamie Snowden had a birthday winner recently and can look for more success here with the exciting Mare, SHE IS FOR ME BOYS. She scored in her only start in an Irish point and has made a successful start to her career under rules and with the Snowden team.
The daughter of Clovis Du Berlais finished runner-up on stable debut when far too keen and in need of the run when chasing home a useful sort at Plumpton in April, before taking a massive step forwards when pulverizing the opposition over an extended 2m1f at this venue last time out.
The five-year-old jumped and travelled strongly at the head of affairs, avoiding all the carnage in behind as she dotted up by 14 lengths.
Track and ground will be spot on once again, and this small step back up in trip should be fine given her pointing background. Gacin Sheehan continues to impress in the saddle, and this combination look to have major claims of notching back to back successes.
Don't forget Ed will be back ahead of Thursday’s races, with the card at Newbury being the highlight of the day...
