Saturday brings three bets across Naas, Newmarket and Carlisle — a Ger Lyons debutant with serious pedigree in a race his yard owns, a must-bet tracker pick finally getting the right trip, and a 50/1 each-way play that has more going for it than the price suggests.

One from the tracker at Sandown — Encounter was the danger we flagged when Gymbaazy won at 33/1 last month, and a clear case of interference cost him that day. Ryan Moore in the saddle tells you the yard mean business.

Three bets today from Fairyhouse, Epsom and Bath — a notebook flag, a trainer angle that the market keeps ignoring, and a course specialist who's done it twice here already under the same rider. June ends in the red but the strike rate tells a better story than the bottom line; back at it with three solid reasons to be

Three bets today across Kempton and Windsor — pedigree edge in a novice that lacks it, a tracker horse dropping back in trip with enough to like about the race despite the reservations, and a third-time selection who's been knocking on the door long enough that he owes us one in a grade he should be winning.

The four UK cards didn’t have anything overly jumping out at me, despite a few running who have been on the radar, but there was one runner for a prolific yard over at Ballinrobe in Ireland who I couldn’t ignore.

Three bets across Brighton and Pontefract today — two each-way chances at prices and a course specialist who has form figures at Pontefract that read like a broken record. After a frustrating weekend, there's reason to think the handicapper has left at least one of these ahead of his mark.

Two bets today — one from a Ascot where a Palmer stat sealed the decision and one from Doncaster where a horse I've been following since a penalty run finally gets a fair crack at the weights in a handicap.

Two big prices at Royal Ascot on Day Two — A 40/1 shot in the Royal Hunt Cup and a 28/1 chance in the Fillies' and Mares' Handicap. Both each-way plays with genuine claims. Also a look back at Yesterday with one who should be in every notebook after a badly hampered run in the Coventry.

One bet on the day with a big priced outsider chanced for a yard who hold a fantastic record in the race stretching back to 2009.

Two Win bets today, at Doncaster and Salisbury — one a full sister to a Group 1 winner, the other a notebook filly running off a mark that looks too kind. The case for both inside, plus a few others across the cards.

After a welcome 33/1 winner yesterday, today's three are a braver kind of bet — two out-of-form types and an unexposed filly, each-way at prices worth the gamble across York, Hexham and Leicester.

A bruising day yesterday with two of the others-noted bolting in while the selection flopped — but no chasing it. Three taken today from Sandown and Fairyhouse, including a couple of debutants worth a serious look and one monster price I couldn't leave alone.

After a couple of blanks, the cards today are a grind — plenty looked at, but only one stood out worth getting involved with. A Beckett filly who caught the eye travelling on her turf debut last time, and has been nudged up just 3lb for it. One bet at Newbury.

After another blank yesterday, we dust down and head to Salisbury with two for the card — a well-handicapped 9/2 chance and a 66/1 each-way flier worth a minimum stake. Plus the eyecatchers from a busy Monday, going straight in the book.
