Interesting looks like Dick Turpin is set to carry a penalty of 4lb and run in the Hungerford at Newbury next Saturday. He handles the track well and as a G1 winner and multiple times placed will surely be a skinny price. Hannon prefers to send him there than to a race in France where he would have to carry 7lb. Hannon likes sending horses up the road to Newbury and Dick can probably follow up stablemate Paco Boy winning in two years ago.

Last bet Newmarket 16:55 Omokoroa 14/1 E/W gets weight pull with fav and has done ok off this mark last year.

On Catalan @ 9/2 and draw 25/1 just incase tomorrow

A neck!

Thank Feck for poet is all i can say

Had some cracking info this week first time I am able to share it due to work and its crap typical

On Strong Suit @ evens in the Phoenix

Also done Bewitched @ 3/1 put it last time when it won well at a great price no reason why it can't do that again, Swiss Diva who it beat last time has also come out and won a good listed race in France.

pepper lane.3.40.redcar

should go well, looked good on gallops last weekend.. just a shade high in ratings for me but should give good account!

Joanna in the Prix Maurice De Gheest (14:40 Deauville) is my main bet today - course winner last August in a very quick time and beat Special Duty in the 7f Prix Imprudence before placing in the French Guineas. Has come back from that with two nice group wins at a mile and then last time out at 7f and the drop to 6.5f doesn't pose any concerns. She looks a big price at 15/2 with Coral.

Small E/W on Nanotech 20/1 Curragh 16:45

First greyhound tip in ages and hopefully it will not have the same awful outcome as Eye On The Storm's career ending injury in The Derby.

The Ladbrokes Gold Cup starts on Monday's Monmore Bags meeting and it
looks a fairly uncompetitive renewal compared to most years.

The tip, Boolavogue, generally races at further trips but was track record holder at Wimbledon for a time at 480m (the Gold Cup distance) and also won a first round heat of The Derby and is no slouch from the traps and will also be finishing better than most of his rivals. He faces 4 Monmore dogs in his heat but Ballymac Ace aside they have not performed to the same sort of level he has and I think given a clean run race he should progress. He is a tried and tested competition dog and over the 3 rounds of this contest looks to have a touch of class not many others posses.

The best bit, he is 33/1 as the bookies no doubt disregard him as needing further, they may be right but at those odds I see him as a cracking bet and if he does beat Ballymac Ace (who is 5/1 outright) in his heat there will be nothing like those odds available going into the semi finals. He is also fairly fresh after competing in a Hove competition last month and whilst I would have prefered him to have had a look round Monmore again (he raced twice there last year winning once in the semi of a 630m competition and getting crashed into at the bend ruining his chances in the final) his spin round Romford should have got him ready to perform.
