Profit was secured on both days of last weekend's Lucky 15 bets, so hopefully, we can match that.
Saturday's Lucky 15 bet is advised as an each-way bet.
Mgheera 13/8 (3pl) – Curragh 3.05
I am a big fan of Mgheera, and it was a shame she played around at the start before her Group 1 attempt at Royal Ascot. I was very sweet on her chances at Ascot, and given how the race ended, she must have been a player.
Since moving to Ed Walker's yard, the progress from last year has been quite a big jump. She has always been a useful sprinter, but her two wins so far have been very strong. The form is good, with the win over American Affair now looking very good and is now a Group 1 winner.
My slight concern is the lack of runners. She stays further than five furlongs, so hopefully, they set a good tempo. If that is the case, she will be staying on strongly, and I struggle to see her beaten. Rumstar is a solid sprinter, and is the main threat.
Sure Touch 9/2 (4pl) – Market Rasen 3.12
A race which will always be close to my heart is the Summer Plate at Market Rasen. I was fortunate enough to be part of a syndicate that won this race a few years ago, so it's always a race I look forward to.
Sure Touch was the winner of this race last year and comes back to make it two in a row. He was in much better form last year, but maybe his poor runs was due to a long season, any partially by design. This race will have been the plan for a while, as it's a very big pot to land and is one of the big races to win during the summer jumps months.
His handicap mark is now 1lb below last year's winning mark, so if this race has been the plan, he must be going close. Sean Bowen is the best jumps jockey in the country, and is still in fantastic form.
Our Cody 15/2 (4pl) – Newbury 3.30
The Super Sprint race is always a minefield. You often get a couple of high-rated horses coming into the race, but they don't always win it, despite being favoured by the weight layout.
The horse right at the bottom of the weights was the one I wanted to focus on. Richard Hughes' Our Cody has been progressing nicely, and might be good enough to operate at this type of level. He enjoyed front running tactics when being the odds-on favourite at Windsor a month ago. I'm hoping that they will go from the front on him again today, as Newbury can be favoured to those who race prominently.
Luke Morris has got the call-up and rides at his lowest weight, which is another positive to take into account.
Sterling Knight 11/2 (4pl) – Doncaster 8.15
It's a shame for connection of Sterling Knight that he is such a consistent horse. I'm sure they love that he is fighting out the places in most of his races, but the handicapper can't reduce his handicap mark because of it, which makes winning very tough.
I've tipped him up once already this year, which saw him run well in defeat. This is a race which he can definitely win, and I believe taking him up to Doncaster might help. The northern horses do tend to get exposed when one of the southern yards comes to town, and I think that could be the case. It won't be easy, but he will hit the frame at the very least.
