735 Pontefract-Very competitive race but I feel Rene Mathis is a bit too big to not be backed.This horse has only had 5 runs and although its won twice on the AW,its run last time when encountering fast turf for the first time saw it achieve its best rating so far.

Hoofalong is a big danger but is short enough.

Back Rene Mathis 6pts at 10.0 at bet365(Accept 9.0)-3rd(-6pts)Probably wouldnt have won but stumbled at one point and lost its position before staying on strongly.

805 Pontefract-Chevalgris is very unexposed and the step up to 10 furlongs for its handicap debut looks ideal

Duke of Perth from Cumani`s yard is the fav but needs to improve as I rate Royal Skies a bigger danger.

Back Chevalgris 12pts at 5.0 at various bookmakers(accept 4.5)-4th(-12pts)Just couldnt go with them.(Dt-18pts)

250 Lingfield-A strange race in that nearly every horse has to prove themselves on very fast ground.Quite a few are better on the AW and look vulnerable back on turf.

This doesnt apply to Buy Art who is clear top rated,is fine on the ground and the step back up in trip should suit.

Back Buy Art 15pts at 3.35-2nd(-15pts)

910 Pontefract-Very competitve sprint handicap with loads holding chances.The main 3 I like are Commanche Raider who came back to form last time and won this last time.Spykes Bay has been gradually been dropped in trip and after just 1 (winning) run,is very unexposed at 5 furlong while Mey Blossom comes out top rated after its fine run last time.

Bronze Beau won well last time but wont get an easy lead here,it has it to do on topspeed figures and is now 1Ib higher than its ever won off.

Lay Bronze Beau 30pts at 6.0

*Lay in running if not matched providing Commanche Raider,Spykes Bay and Mey Blossom are running*-2nd(+30pts)Nearly rounded off another very ordinary day of tipping by laying a winner.Haajes dug me out.(DT-3pts)
