Get your tips out for the lads

Somebody asked me can i give my opinion on the big race each Saturday. So here goes. I do not bet on 15 runner plus Handicaps as a rule but I have a good handle on the form book. I'm in a bar in Orlando so I had a spare hour to look through the Ayr Gold Cup. I always start every race with the favourite and can I get it beat. Ozario to me looks a weak favourite. The horse will be over bet as from the hills stable. But for me the form is not substantial to win a substandard Ayr Gold Cup. Usually this race has a group horse lurking but not this year. The Strong one for me at the top of the market is summegand. Rock solid form and looks plotted for this race. I would have a small win bet at 12/1 but I think the 7/4 first 5 would be the value play. Also at around 50/1 I would throw a couple of quid on Desert Cop. Andrew Balding has a strong affinity to this race as lochsong bolted up in this, trained by his farther. When I stay I would back it. It would just be a throw away £5 ew. The rest of the cards look awful. This time of year is awful for punters, the grounds unpredictable and horses are tired after a long season. It's best now to wait until November and get the cash on novice chasers. Sometimes you can get even money on a class horse first time over fences. Racing against vastly inferior opposition. It's like backing Usain bolt against Ricky hatton in a 200 sprint. Just a non contest. Good luck all for the weekend and I hope the seasides do the buisness. They are due a good result.
 
Cookstown Cafu 3.45 York 25/1 not an ideal draw but with a small ew at these odds

Oceanic Wonder 33/1 discount last race would have a chance, again small ew at these odds
 
Where’s Oceanic running?

Found it. 1.45 at Catterick.

You threw me with the last race comment.

Well me last tip Craven did come 2nd , so tomorrow's Blackpool linked tip ...
Fontwell 15-25 "Bentley's return" 7/2.
 
Had a brief look today. At a, wedding so preoccupied. But the short double is my only play. Inspiral and the short one in the 2 year old trophy at Redcar. Double pays about 11/4.. Have a great day lads.
 
Dragon leader the one at Redcar.. Don't really trust these end of season flat races. But on form alone both horses are different gravy. Gone big on Dragon leader as best 2 year old form on offer by far and done a not so big double with inspiral. Only problem I have with inspiral last time in a small field got turned over at 1/5 so horse deffo needs a bit of cover. Sure Frankie is upto that job.
 
Get in that's how they should win.. The guiness will taste even better this afternoon...
