A FRUSTRATING Day 1 for the tips yesterday with a non-runner (El Astronaute), a decent each way return (Euchen Glen, 3rd) and a last place finish for Green Fortune who looked injured and was virtually pulled up by the end. Hopefully he is ok because he had looked an exciting prospect. 

We go again today with no less than four crackers that have caught the eye.

1.55pm

I was at York last month for the win that HEY JONESY had over Staxton.  I was slightly surprised by that because I rated Staxton quite highly but Hey Jonesy was well backed on the day and did it very nicely over today's course and distance. It turns out I wasn't wrong about Staxton who has won a good race at Haydock since and the third placed horse has also won.

This is a more competitive race today no doubt but Hey Jonesy still has plenty of improvement in him and 9/2 looks like a very fair price to me. The more cautious amongst you might be happy to back him each way to protect your stake with Betfair or Paddy Power who are both offering 4 places in a race which does have a big field.

2.25pm

ACTRESS really looked the part when winning a Group 3 at the Curragh two starts back and wasn't beaten too far by the colts in a Group 1 last time. I think that's possibly the strongest form in this race (with the exception of Happy Like a Fool who almost certainly won't like this softer ground) and Aiden O'Brien's fillies tend to improve as they go through the season.

With Ryan Moore up today I'll be surprised if she doesn't go very close.  I wouldn't be surprised to see the horse well backed through the day so take the price this morning if you can.

3.00pm

I've been through this race with a fine tooth comb looking for the each way value at bigger prices but the one I keep coming back to is near the head of the market in the shape of CHELSEA LAD. He was backed at Newbury in April on his seasonal debut  as though defeat was out of the question and ended up going off at 7/2 favourite of 21 runners.

He was pulled up lame which must have been a huge disappointment for his owners and trainer and he has since been 2nd of 17 runners and 3rd of 10 when also sent off favourite the last twice. With only 6 career runs he is clearly still well-handicapped and with firms offering 5 places today (SkyBet even offer 6 places) I just think he is a rock solid each way bet at 7/1.

There are others with question marks over the ground, recent form and handicap marks but this lad seems the obvious one with no ground worries and scope for improvement. As much as I like to see Chelsea lose normally I'll be getting behind this lad today.

4.50pm

This one is simple. LINCOLN ROCKS is in lovely form, losing out to a progressive filly last time in a listed race but finishing nicely clear of the others. She has progressed all season but didn't go up in the weights for that 2nd place last time and with Daniel Tudhope on board and no worries about the good to soft ground this front runner will be very hard to pass. Great each way value for a horse I think will be stepping up to listed and group races before long.

Recommendations:

  • 1.55pm – Hey Jonesy – 2pt win at 9/2 with Betfair or Paddy Power
  • 2.25pm – Actress – 3pt win at 4/1 with Bet365, SkyBet and others
  • 3.00pm – Chelsea Lad – 2pt each way at 7/1 with Betfred and  William Hill (both paying 5 places)
  • 4.50pm – Lincoln Rocks – 2pt each way at 11/1 with Betfair (paying 4 places)
