    Well that was a certainty was it? Andrew Thornton has a winner on his final day in the sadlle - all the jockeys not riding were waiting on the run in to cheer him home!

    Did you know........

    ...........that former former racehorse announcer (mainly Lingfield) was the actor Milton Johns?

    And if you knew that, did you also know...........

    ..........that current racecourse commentator Malcolm Tomilinson is an actor too. And father to Eleanor Tomlnson, star of Poldark, who has just released her first album.

    Bet that information has brightened up your day!

    Away from Ascot Bin Suroor is sending a newcomer all the way to Thirsk in the 3:20, cant see him doing that just to stretch the horses legs, has to be going there to win.

    Hope those tips turn out to be good. I've already backed 4 of them, and haven't yet decided on the St James's Palace.

    Check his ROI (top pinned Tweet on his profile). Charlie is a good mate of mine and has had a phenomenal 2018 thus far. I'm following him pretty much all the way through the next few days.

    Quite impressive. Surprised though by the 1 point level stake on each, considering the differences in prices. Do you follow his recommendations on stakes also?

    Anything around 11/1 or greater (depends on exact place conditions) I would tend to go 0.5pts each way. Haven't kept a separate track in that regard, but I think I'm probably near enough even to what he'd make just betting on the win (place money balancing vs when his win tips come 2nd/3rd and lose, counteracted by him returning correspondingly more points on a win bet).

    I do my own research though usually, so I don't always follow him stakes or tips wise.

    My own tips, such as they are:

    2.30 - Benbatl @ 7/2
    3.05 - Dubai Legacy e/w @ 14/1
    3.40 - Different League e/w @ 20/1
    4.20 - Wootton @ 11/2
    5.00 - Whiskey Sour @ 10/1 (maybe e/w)
    5.35 - Kidmenever e/w @ 14/1

    But how many would have backed a 2-y-o, having only his second race, at 2/1 in a field of 23?
