Every selection posted before the off, with the reasoning, the angle and the form reading behind it.
A few decent cards today but strewth they look some tough betting heats. Two runners from the Tracker and it is one who we chanced last time who I have just about justified the price about him to chance a bet. Being honest though, I expected a bigger price. I've said it again and again, these betting markets are getting tougher and tougher to crack.
A Lingfield specialist who is unbeaten in four over course and distance — UPEPO returns over the same trip with Myla Coppins' 7lb claim dropping him to an effective mark of 53, the lowest he has ever competed off in a winning race. One bet only. Even Tho's 16-length Bumper rout reviewed first.
One from the tracker at Punchestown — EVEN THO for Willie Mullins, taken on at the price the second-string jockey booking has created. The mare beat Araminta by 4½ lengths last time and is half-sister to The Enabler. Plus a recap on Sunday's first 5pt Max Bet of the year, Seed Ya Later at Musselburgh.
A focused Sunday — one max bet at Musselburgh. Seed Ya Later in the 16:15, on Jack Channon's standout 2TO maiden angle and a rare yard booking up in Scotland. Tilani and Persuasion noted on a watching brief.
Three angles for three selections today. A jockey edge at Lingfield with NO KNEE NEVER for Henry Callan. A course-and-trip specialist at Newcastle in CUSACK at 28/1 each-way. A drop in grade for CLOCH NUA, also at Newcastle, off 3lb below his last winning mark. Plus the lesson from yesterday's Alto Alto.
Five wins for Chris Gordon, all of them here at Plumpton, and today he drops back to a 0-105 handicap chase with his stable's best course specialist clear on the figures. One 2-point Win bet at 13/2.
Like Provision at Southwell on Wednesday, this is a pedigree play — but an easier one to argue. Provision ran a decent race at 40/1 and I'm hopeful of another solid run for our money today.
One flagged today who is worthy of nothing more than a minimal bet, but on pedigree alone he has to have a minor interest at wild odds of 40/1 currently available. He has shown nothing on his latest two starts, but he shown some form of promise under his former handler.
Three consecutive runs where interference has cost him, and the handicapper has eased him 3lbs for the trouble. One each-way bet at Lingfield, backing a course specialist whose recent form figures need forgiving entirely."
A really moody day of racecards to sift through, with two of the worst betting tracks on the Flat with Newcastle and Leicester. Newcastle I’ve spoken plenty about how tough it can be to bet there, but Leicester is equally tough, if not more so. So, it’s a day of playing safe, with one standout ... <a title="Daily Dial #72 – One All-Weather Bet at Newcastle" class="read-more" href="https://formdial.com/daily-dial-72-one-all-weather-bet-at-newcastle/" aria-label="Read more about Daily Dial #72 – One All-Weather Bet at Newcastle">Read more</a>
