FOR Tuesday's racing Milesey's concentrating his efforts on Fontwell, Southwell and Lingfield – none of which are in Ireland.
However, Linfield play in Ireland so why Lingfield's not there I'll never know.
Anyway here are Tuesday's tips from a man who knows his horses – and his geography.
Fontwell 2.40
SUSTAINABILITY (nap) 1.25
SUSTAINABILITY shouldn't have too much trouble in landing this novice chase. Venetia Williams' 125-rated chaser finished a close-up second in a Wincanton handicap last month and the five-time career winner wouldn't have to improve much on that performance to land the spoils.
Sustainability has only managed one win from his five starts over fences but has shown a decent level of form overall and should be able to double his tally here against three rivals. Cool Cascade may give him most to do as she did manage to win a race over hurdles last summer which is more than Hightown and One For The Boss have managed.
The former was rated 12lb higher than the latter over timber but has been pulled up in two of his last three starts. Winner of four hurdle races and a chase from 2m to 2m 2f on ground varying from good to soft to heavy.
Beaten 1/2l by Criqtonic when second of four at 7-2 on his latest outing in a chase at Wincanton over 2m 5f (good to soft) last month.
Fontwell 5.10
HARRY'S FAREWELL 8.2
An interesting bumper finale for punters to get stuck into and it could pay to side with two-time point-to-point winner HARRY'S FAREWELL. The six-year-old is taken to come out on top in what is likely to prove a stamina-sapping test in the conditions and can out-stay his rivals. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with E Walker.
Fontwell 3.10
JUPITER REX 1.75
JUPITER REX completed a five-timer when scoring over the extended 3m at Taunton last month, a 5lb rise looks fair and he's taken to go in again. Jupiter Rex has been cleverly placed by Venetia Williams to rattle up a five-timer and the runner-up has franked the form of his latest success over hurdles at Taunton last month. He's only 5lb higher in this and Michael Nolan is one of the more accomplished conditionals around but his steady climb up the weights is going to take its toll at some stage and the mare EGRETTA ISLAND is potentially well treated if she can get her act together.
Warren Greatrex' seven-year-old won at Towcester around this time last year and it could be worth risking her stamina over this much longer trip. Master Cardor Visa has gone up 8lb since his second at Ffos Las while it's a long time since Fortification and Sapphire Rouge showed any worthwhile form.
Winner of three hurdle races and two chases from 3m to 3m 2f on ground varying from good to soft to heavy. Won on his latest outing in a hurdle race when 4-6 fav at Taunton over 3m (soft) last month, beating Decimus by 1 3/4l. Has won three times this season.
Southwell 5.00
SCRIBE 5.5
Scribe scored over track and trip in February but should have finished a lot closer to Masterful Act last time when beaten nine lengths in second. Successful at 1m 4f and 2m on the all-weather (1 FB, 1 PO). Beaten 9l by Masterful Act when second of seven at 7-2 on his latest outing here over 1m 6f earlier this month.
Southwell 3.00
CORN SNOW 5.9
Mark Johnston has won two of the last three runnings of this race so his Corn Snow must be given the utmost respect but didn't show a great deal in two turf starts last summer. Unplaced in both. Finished 19l behind Rising Legend when last of five at 5-1 on his latest outing at Brighton over 7f (good to soft) in August last year. Having his first run for a new stable today, previously with Mahmood Al Zarooni in United Arab Emirates.
Lingfield 4.50
WORDINESS 2.06
WORDINESS has improved no end since stepping up to 1m4f/1m5f in recent times and is tough to oppose in this sort of mood. Up 8lb for scoring with any amount in hand over track and trip in an apprentice jockeys' handicap 10 days ago, jockey Robert Tart is now entitled to claim 5lb in this company and a repeat display should be good enough.
Completed a hat-trick in impressive style over the track and trip 10 days ago and though raised 8lb Robert Tart's claim takes care of much of that and victory No.4 looks on the cards. Admirable Duque has to be a big threat with his penalty for Friday's easy victory at Wolverhampton as he's likely to be raised by more than 6lb in the future.
Norfolk Sky tackled this trip for the first time here last month and, though fading close home, she was by no means disgraced and should get involved. Mohanad stays much further and hasn't been seen since August while Ascendant should do better when back over hurdles. He has won three times from 1m 4f to 1m 5f on polytrack. Won on his latest outing when 9-4 fav over this course and distance earlier this month, beating Stentorian by 4l. Has won three times this season.
Lingfield 4.20
XINBAMA 7.4
XINBAMA has come back down to his last winning mark of 74 and makes most appeal. A course winner over 7f in May last year, Seb Sanders clearly gets on well with the son of Baltic King and he might be on offer at rewarding odds Xinbama has a victory from this mark to his credit on Turf and has also scored here, though he hasn't been seen since October. He has won three times from 6f to 7f including a win on polytrack. Finished 4 1/2l behind Layali Dubai when fourth of 12 at 13-2 on his latest outing at Wolverhampton over 1m 1f in October last year.
Southwell 15.30
Fairy Wing was a fairly useful three-time winner in Ireland last year and belatedly back to form for current yard when narrowly landing a 6f handicap here on Saturday. Untried over 5f and more needed to defy a penalty. Lesley's Choice rattled off a hat-trick last spring and though out of sorts for some time now dangerous to dismiss from much reduced mark, especially as he can boast a C&D record of 1221162. Blinkers back on.
Marshall Art got off the mark in weak selling handicap here (6f) last month and has made minimal impact off higher marks in three starts since, including when tried in a hood last time. Passed over again.
Spic ‘n' Span is an out-and-out 5f performer who has won six times over C&D. Hard to catch right these days, following a couple of solid efforts with a rather tame showing over this trip at Wolverhampton last time.
Rambo Will usually gives his running without winning, and bit better than bare result under an aggressive ride at Kempton last time. In frame both starts here and should be on the premises again.
Steel City Boy snapped a lengthy losing sequence in a 6f handicap at Wolverhampton in January. Typically up and down since but fared best of those to race close up in a C&D event last time. Bit more required now.
Chateau Lola is hard to catch right but everything came together at Wolverhampton (5f) last month. Just respectable efforts on both starts since and while yard remains in form she looks vulnerable again
Thorpe Bay struggled after winning fibresand claimer 13 months ago but back to form when runner-up both starts here for current yard and weighted to gain revenge for a narrow defeat by Fairy Wing on Saturday.
Ryedale Dancer got back on the scoreboard at Wolverhampton in October. Struggled to recapture that form since although not disgraced when fourth of 10 behind Fairy Wing here at the weekend. Needs to build on that.
Bond Blade ran well to find frame in pair of 6f handicaps here for Geoff Oldroyd early last year and better signs when staying on to grab third in a C&D event last time, albeit helped by a strongly-run race.
1. Lesley's Choice 5
2. Thorpe Bay 4.3
3. Rambo Will 6.2
The booking of Graham Lee and refitting of blinkers are both signals of intent and Lesley's Choice looks poised to bounce back to form back over this C&D. Thorpe Bay was narrowly denied by Fairy Wing at the weekend and should turn the tables on revised terms while Rambo Will shouldn't be far away.

The world’s richest race, the $10 million Dubai World Cup at Meydan, has attracted a star-studded 13-runner field.
Saturday’s race…
The obvious starting point when previewing the Dubai World Cup is Godolphin, who have owned the winner five times since the race’s inception in 1996, with Saeed bin Suroor (who also trained Hamdan Al Maktoum’s 1999 winner of the race Almutawakel) responsible for four of those, and new boy on the block, Mahmood Al Zarooni, getting in on the act last year by saddling the first two home, namely Monterosso and Capponi.
It’s no surprise that the boys in blue are heavily represented again this time around, with three running in their colours, namely African Story, Hunter’s Light and Monterosso, and bin Suroor and Al Zarooni will also be represented by Kassiano and Capponi respectively, who have both sported the famous blue in the past but will be in different colours for this race.
The most prominent in the betting out of those five, and indeed favourite or joint-favourite with most bookmakers, is Hunter’s Light, the winner of rounds two and three of the Maktoum Challenge at the Carnival this year.
Godolphin’s last five winners in this race had contested at least one round of the Maktoum Challenge prior to World Cup success and Hunter’s Light couldn’t have been any more impressive in disposing of Surfer in February and his progressive stablemate Kassiano more recently, looking every inch World Cup material.
Hunter’s Light’s record on an artificial surface stands at four from five (only defeat came on debut) and he fully deserves to be towards the head of the market.
Few could have envisaged Kassiano as a likely runner in this at the start of the Carnival, when rated only 106 by Timeform. He has been the most progressive handicapper in Dubai this year, however, improving into a very smart performer in winning three times and then upping his game again when stepped up to pattern company behind Hunter’s Light. He didn’t get the clearest of runs through that day, so can be rated as finishing a clearer second, and there will be worse outsiders than him.
Last year’s winner, Monterosso, is obviously worth a mention as he bids to become the first horse to retain his crown. He will again go into the race on the back of just one run which came in the third round of the Maktoum Challenge when a long way behind Hunter’s Light.
It’s fair to say Monterosso didn’t show anywhere near as much as he had done when prepping a year ago, however, and on that basis he can’t really be supported with any confidence, mindful that he also disappointed on his sole outing in Britain after last year’s success.
A stronger contender could be African Story, who took well to the tapeta surface at last year’s Carnival, winning three times, including the Godolphin Mile on World Cup night. He demonstrated his well-being when making a successful return over the same trip when landing the Burj Nahaar at Meydan earlier in the month.
High-class form over a mile, as well as an impressive course record (four wins from five starts), brings African Story into the reckoning, though the trip is very much an unknown stepping up beyond a mile for the first time.
The other dominant force in the race has traditionally been the American contingent, with eight winners down the years, though it’s fair to say they haven’t been anything like as successful since the race switched from dirt to tapeta ahead of the 2010 renewal. Gio Ponti’s fourth placing that year is the best an American raider has managed on the new surface, with Game On Dude and Royal Delta both noticeable disappointments twelve months ago.
This year’s challenge from the States looks strong, on paper at least, with the aforementioned Royal Delta, as well as Animal Kingdom and Dullahan all declared to run.
Royal Delta will at least return with that experience under her belt, and she has clearly improved again since then, her defeat of My Miss Aurelia in the Breeders’ Cup Ladies’ Classic one of the highlights on Breeders’ Cup night. She has confirmed her well-being with a recent win at Gulfstream Park and it seems reasonable to assume she will fare much better this time around.
Dullahan disappointed on turf at the Breeder’s Cup but had shown high-class form on a synthetic surface earlier in the year when winning the TVG Pacific Classic. The Dale Romans-trained colt has had a pipe-opener at Meydan this year, finishing well down the field behind African Story in the Burj Nahaar. That performance hardly enhanced his credentials, but there were potential excuses. The shorter trip is the obvious one, whilst it was reported he got very worked up on the way over to the track.
Dullahan’s form in America stands up to the closest scrutiny and whilst it’s fair to say he isn’t the most consistent, he is more than capable of getting involved if on a ‘going day’.
The only Kentucky Derby winner to run in the Dubai World Cup was Silver Charm back in 1998 and Animal Kingdom will bid to complete that notable double when he lines up twelve months later than originally intended.
Animal Kingdom was due in Dubai last year only to suffer an injury and he’s been limited to just three starts in the last nineteen months, all on turf, winning an allowance optional claimer at Gulfstream before finishing second to Wise Dan in the Breeders’ Cup Mile (when staying on strongly after meeting trouble) and to Point of Entry in a Grade 1 back at Gulfstream in February. The surface is obviously an unknown, though he does have form on polytrack, whilst his style of racing (tends to be held up) could leave him vulnerable given how Meydan has ridden this year.
Mike de Kock’s sole contender is last year’s Sheema Classic fourth Treasure Beach, who has plenty to find with the main protagonists on Timeform ratings (only sixth behind Hunter’s Light on sole run this year) and essentially isn’t good enough, and similar comments apply to the three British-trained runners, Planteur, Side Glance and Red Cadeaux.
That leaves the French-trained Meandre, who is a triple Group 1 winner over a mile and a half on turf but may find things happening a bit quick for him in this.
As things stand, Hunter’s Light makes plenty of appeal. He is fit and firing, clearly relishes this surface and has done nothing wrong in winning both his starts this year. With doubts of one sort or another over the American-trained runners, as well as last year’s winner Monterosso, Kassiano makes as much appeal as anything of those at longer odds.
Recommendations:
Back Hunter’s Light @ 5.6
Back Kassiano @ 11.5

Fontwell Placepot: Tuesday March 26
14:10 – The two with the best form, Big Jer and Westaway, both have poor runs last time to put behind them, so we can afford to leave them out. Instead, Via Sundown represents a fairly solid proposition. He’s been placed on his last three starts over jumps in France and has a Flat win to his name, so clearly boasts ample ability for this moderate level. Furthermore his new trainer, the excellent Gary Moore, rarely sends one to Fontwell half-baked. Peterbrown goes in as our reserve selection, as he shaped as though this greater test would suit on debut and has room to improve in terms of his developing professionalism, too.
14:40 – At first glance we appear to be in the expensive wasteland of a four-runner race, but lo, there is an oasis! This race is essentially the near-useful and consistent Sustainability against a trio of inferior opponents, each fragile in either legs or mind. That makes the (admittedly long odds-on) favourite a fairly confident banker in the circumstances.
15:10 – We could count ourselves rather unlucky if either Sapphire Rouge or Egretta Island got in on the act, so we’re picking from the remaining three for two spots. With that considered, the unimaginative approach of banking on favourite Jupiter Rex can be re-packaged as an inexpensive way through what could otherwise be a trappy leg. Jupiter Rex has the form to back up his current price, too, only 5 lb higher than his last win nearly four weeks ago, while the runner-up in that race went one better on Sunday.
15:40 – Although temptation to back Wild Ground would always be firmly resisted, her recent course record (which probably counts double over Fontwell’s idiosyncratic chase track) and general fine fettle make her difficult to ignore in the Placepot, while there’s a sporting chance she’ll get her own way up front, too. We have to scratch around a bit for a backup option, though Bounds And Leaps, below form this season only following a 3-month break before her second start, gets the verdict narrowly over Orange Nassau, who has looked a weak finisher but is tried tongue tied here.
16:10 – Mares’ maiden hurdles are rarely the time to get cute, but quite honestly it’s difficult to imagine Iron Butterfly or Just Spot not making the first three. Take both if you’re so inclined, but we’ve been mean with lines so far and will continue the theme by banking on Iron Butterfly, who looks set to be suited by this slightly longer trip.
16:40 – Chestnut Ben is a standout selection, but not quite banker material as it’s conceivable that he may both run well and finish out of the two. Back him up with Lady Willa, who was winning from higher marks around this time last year and put up her best effort since second at Huntingdon the other week. She’s also the only confirmed front runner in this race.
Selections:
14:10 – 8, 10
14:40 – 1
15:10 – 1
15:40 – 1, 4
16:10 – 7
16:40 – 1, 3

Ihtikar in the 14.50 at Lingfield. This gelding caught the eye on debut when finishing fourth to Elnadwa at Wolverhampton last October. He ran on well inside the final furlong but he was a little green and failed to deliver a challenge.
I think he is open to improvement and should go close at a fair price in this interesting maiden. At present he is trading at 5.0 on the exchange.
Iron out to show strength in Fontwell hurdle
IRON BUTTERFLY is aiming to round off her first season over jumps with a first victory in the 2m2½f mares’ maiden hurdle (4.10) at Fontwell.
The four-year-old, a half-sister to the decent stayer At The Money, has finished fourth in both her starts over hurdles and wears a first-time hood.
Trained by James Eustace, who has sent out two winners from his small jumps string this winter as well as bagging a couple of victories on the all-weather this year, is hopeful of a good run.
Writing on his website, he said: “It doesn’t look the strongest race and the ground will be testing which will suit her so she must have a chance.”
The ground at Fontwell is heavy, soft in places after the track survived a morning inspection.
Racing also takes place on the all-weather at Lingfield and Southwell on Tuesday.
Going:
Fontwell: Heavy, soft in places
Lingfield: Standard

GOLF NEWS
———
Tiger Woods is in to 4.7 favourite to win the first Major of the season – the US Masters – after returning to the top of the world rankings with a smooth success at the Arnold Palmer Invitational.
Woods led the field by two going into the weather-interrupted final round at Bay Hill, a course where he had won seven times previously, and he never really looked in any danger as he strolled to a two-stroke victory over Justin Rose.
He was matched at a high of 9.0 In-Play to win the tournament for an eighth time when he trailed by six shots during the early part of his third round.
The victory is Woods’ third win on the PGA Tour this season following victories in the Farmers Insurance Open and the WGC Cadillac Championship – perhaps significantly at venues where he was already a multiple winner – and it moves him to number one in the Official World Golf Ranking for the first time since October 2010.
Woods’ rise back to the top of his profession will be all the more satisfactory coming just a week after he publicly announced that he is in a relationship with American skier Lindsey Vonn.
As alluded to above it is now apparent that the ‘new’ Tiger plays his best golf at venues where he has previously enjoyed success, so that fact that he is a four-time winner at Augusta National will add further confidence to those who have already backed him at prices up to and including 14.0.
However, the fact that Woods has failed to don the famous Green Jacket since 2005, nor has he been able to add to his tally of 14 Major titles for nearly five years, has to be a worry.
Tiger’s main rivals according to the Betfair Winner market appear to be the man Woods replaced as world number one – Rory McIlroy (12.0) – and three-times Masters champion Phil Mickelson (15.5).
The 2013 US Masters commences on Thursday April 11.

Australia: Black Caviar’s next start has been confirmed as the Group 1 T J Smith Stakes at Randwick on April 13. Should the supermare win, then she will surpass Kingston Town’s Australian record of Group 1 wins of 14, setting a new best of 15.
A possible trip back to Royal Ascot and subsequent meeting with Frankel in the breeding sheds this summer has captured the imagination of the racing public, but all future plans are on hold until after the T J Smith Stakes, according to co-owner Neil Werrett.
Werrett, speaking to the Racing Network in Australia, added that there are as many as five possible targets for Black Caviar following next month’s race, including Royal Ascot, and, having been given a clean bill of health by a chiropractor and vet, Randwick will be her next stop.
“We will definitely be going for to the T J Smith and from the
T J it can go to wherever we want it to go to,” Werrett said.
“Peter [Moody, trainer] said there is no use planning too far ahead; she is a race to race proposition. We don’t want to say we are going here, there and everywhere. The options are we go to Adelaide [The Goodwood], Brisbane [BTC Cup], Ascot, retire or race in the spring.
“It is going to be a sad day when we retire her, but we know it’s getting closer and we don’t want to go one run too many.”
Any good doubles or trebles my good man?

Sandown Preview: Thunder Rain predicted
The second race at Sandown, on Wednesday, shapes as a good contest with all of the nine runners lightly raced and showing plenty of promise. Predicting who will improve most on the day is an imperfect science but we can, like our meteorological colleagues, make an educated guess.
Thunder Rain is a filly on an upward spiral, winning twice in eight starts and showing her best form when placed twice in listed company at the back of last campaign. In both of those starts she was ridden to lead at a solid clip and stuck on bravely, returning form that sees her well placed in this, particularly after the claim, and solid timefigures alongside the form further strengthen her case.
The 1000m on offer today is perhaps not ideal, with that peak form having come at 1400m, but her racing pattern offsets that somewhat. Racing on the speed is typically the place to be and it is particularly high-percentage over the 1000m course at Sandown-Hillside.
From a data-set of nearly 400 races at the course and distance 27.3% of winners were in-front when straightening for home. That number rises to 57.2% of winners when straightening in the top trio.
This stat becomes particularly relevant to Thunder Rain when looking at Double Dee, the horse seen as the biggest danger to her today.
Double Dee led all the way to win a Mornington maiden back in December but showed even better form when ridden more quietly in two runs to follow. On her most recent start Double Dee tucked in at the back of the field down the straight course at Flemington and charged home late, producing a strong sectional but missing the boat, finishing fourth.
Double Dee is clearly a filly with plenty of talent but if they opt to ride her conservatively again here the percentages appear in favour of Thunder Rain.
Beyond Infinity is the horse that looks set to pressure Thunder Rain for the front today. Beyond Infinity showed good ability racing on the pace on debut in Adelaide but ridden quietly next time out at Wagga was a flop, finishing down the track in a modest maiden.
Back from a 212 day spell last time, he was sent straight to the front and the rest of the field didn’t sight him again, roaring away to win by nine lengths on the line.
Tempering enthusiasm for that wide-margin success was the fact that the horses he beat were modestly performed at best and the overall time was nothing to shout about but the margin in itself must be respected and there is surely more to come.
There is certainly more to come from Union Gap as well. The son of Elusive Quality showed smart form in the spring, placing at listed level and catching the eye with a closing fourth in the Group 3 Carbine Club before a spell. He’s back from the mile to kick off this campaign over 1000m which is likely to prove short of his best and he is likely to get back and give them all a start but he certainly has the class and, tumbling back to this grade, is not unfairly weighted at all.
It’s an open race but there is plenty pointing to a bold showing from Thunder Rain who appeals as a good gamble at current odds for punters and meteorologists alike.
Recommendation:
Back Thunder Rain in the second race at Sandown

The annual battle for the Trainers Championship takes place at Yarmouth on Wednesday evening and is live on Sky Sports.
19:34 Puppies
After a stack of undesirable draws, rails hugging Golden Wonder finally gets the red jacket and with Glenpadden Post (trap two) moving ‘very wide’ in his trial, Charlie Lister’s runner rates one of the night’s best bets and can get the ‘man to beat’ off to the perfect start. Underground Paul, who improved bundles for a second look round here last week – going quicker than the selection – is also well drawn with Garryglass Rodge likely to cut in. Monmore Puppy Derby winner Cluxtons Free should not be under-estimated.
19:49 Standard
Droopys Reason hasn’t raced since January but has posted a brace of good trials and given his previous useful form over the CD is a confident selection to score the full 10 points for lively outsider Seamus Cahill ,despite a slightly wider draw than would be ideal. Jaytee Hellcat ran a respectable second behind the sensational Ballymac Eske in the Juvenile but worryingly went very wide in his trial here. Eclipse finalist Hather George hasn’t raced since January but has been notching up decent trials and has enough pace to overcome a wider than ideal draw.
20:04 Bitches
If last week’s Wimbledon win is anything to go by, Bridge Ruth looks a bitch to follow this season and should be good enough to claim maximum points for Mark Wallis after a satisfactory trial here the other week. Silverview Pinky will have few complaints about her trap one draw, especially with Glenpadden Lake likely to allow her plenty of room. Jaytee Jules is badly drawn despite a reasonable trial.
20:19 Stayers
Fear Emoski makes her six bend debut but if her latest trial is anything to go by – just eight spots outside the track-record – she will take all the beating and can add more points to Lister’s tally. Blonde Reagan was disappointing at Wimbledon, has won only one of his last six races and was beaten here on his only previous CD run last autumn. Boherna Bridge is unlikely to appreciate the inside draw (zero from six in trap one).
20:34 Sprint
Prolific winning sprinter Lil Risky is back in his preferred trap one berth but has lost his lost five races over the CD although did clock a fast time here from trap one last autumn. Farloe Barracuda, despite a rare slip up last time, has been winning races for fun at Sheffield and earns the vote for Barrie Draper judged on his trial effort. Scurry winner Drumna Ice has not raced since December and has to prove himself again.
20:49 Stayers
The unexpected decision to step Farloe Tango up to six bends by Charlie Lister should be taken as a positive and last year’s Eclipse third can provide his handler with another winner. Goa Girl hasn’t won for ages but did score here on her only previous visit last September, while Planning won races here as a grader at the start of his career and could hardly have a better draw. Top class marathon bitch Aero Rebel would be a big threat on her recent Romford 750m form.
21:04 Dogs
Despite a failure to reach the East Anglian Derby final, Loughteen Blanco still boasts useful form over the CD and his consistency (he has reached the first two in his last eleven races) can pay dividends for Seamus Cahill in what could be the battle of the night with Ayamzaman, who looked back to his very best at Romford last Friday. Alien Planet trialled in well but his form tailed off last backend. Ballycowen Dave has better form here than his trials might otherwise suggest.
21:19 Standard
If Charlie Lister hasn’t tied up victory by this stage, Lemon Pluto should make sure of it despite the lack of a run since January after a much improved trial last week. Bubbly Lucky is improving rapidly and remains interesting although his draw outside Kokoro could be fraught with danger. Guinness Dusty was an East Anglian Derby finalist and gained his first win in ages at Hove the other week.

A question for Milesey.
If I put £50 each way Ante Post on Major Malarkey for the National (100/1) and the damn thing does run because of a sore throat- a sore shin or a flake of snow- do I lose my hundred QUID?????????????????????????
That should read ‘damn thing does not run.’ I know with the National there’s about 80 horses entered and only 40 start.
If it doesn’t run ?
You want to be looking at bookies who are doing money back in non runner when doing ante post….. BET365 are doing non runner no bet for Grand National ante post, so look around, still a field of 57, so another 17 to be pulled out to make the 40, so you want a bookie who are offering non runner no bet, and makesure they are doing this before putting your bet on, should state in the ante post market section.

Lord Clegg you are a brave man to bet £100 on a horse in the National …
In actual fact my mate has backed this horse ante post and my first thought was “if it doesn’t run for any reason he’ll lose his money.” Anyway, I’m with bet365 so I’ll take Mileseys advice and go there.

HORSE RACING TIPS

LINGFIELD 3.30
**YOU DA ONE**NAP**NAP**
YOU DA ONE. Andrew Balding’s inmate should win this maiden event with any amount in hand and, while beaten at cramped odds at Kempton last time, he’s improving for each visit to the racecourse and he’ll have enough class if running up to his official rating of 80.
YOU DA ONE found Milly’s Gift too strong when odds-on for his Polytrack debut at Kempton but it’s difficult imagining Andrew Balding’s gelding will come up short against only two rivals here given he showed plenty of promise on Turf last year
WETHERBY 3.55
UPSWING
It’s hard to avoid the claims of UPSWING. Following a couple of respectable efforts in novice hurdles at the start of the year, Jonjo O’Neill’s five-year-old scored very cosily on his handicap debut over 2m1f at Carlisle and, with more improvement no doubt in the locker, a 7lb penalty shouldn’t be enough to scupper the follow-up plans today. Won on his latest outing in a hurdle race when 11-10fav at Carlisle over 2m 1f (heavy) earlier this month, beating Rupert Bear by 3/4l. Carries a 7lb penalty today for that success.
SOUTHWELL 3.45
HANNAHS TURN
turned in an impressive display when scoring over 6f here last time. She also has winning form over the minimum trip. HANNAHS TURN remains unbeaten on Fibresand after winning for the third time at this track last week. Given she scored by six lengths, it’s unlikely a penalty will prevent Chris Dwyer’s filly from going in again and she gets the vote. She has won three times from 5f to 6f on fibresand. Won on her latest outing when 1-2fav here over 6f earlier this month, beating Sylvia Pankhurst by 6l. Carries a 6lb penalty today for that success. Has won 3 times here this season.
LINGFIELD 2.00
BLUE NOODLES
Winner of five races from 6f to 1m including 3 wins on polytrack. Third of 9 behind Flow Chart beaten 1l at 4-1 on his latest outing at Wolverhampton over 6f earlier this month.
SOUTHWELL 2.10
JACK DAWKINS
It might be worth taking a punt on JACK DAWKINS, who continues to give a good account on fibresand. He twice had the beating of the previously progressive Goldmadchen earlier in the month and lost little in defeat when second to prolific plater Stand Guard latest. Winner of seven races from 1m to 1m 4f including 4 wins on fibresand. Beaten 1 1/2l by Stand Guard when second of 3 at 11-2 on his latest outing over this course and distance earlier this month. Has won twice at Southwell this season.
Cheers milesey for Harry’s farewell!!
