Masterful ride by Ryan Moore to take it on the line ....I'll add the 100 to the carryover win last week of 205 and 45 the last couple days that makes 350 and I can get a ps5 which was the target 😀 for 351 from argos with my family's 10% discount ....so that's another prize completed 😀 
Start afresh next week

Hamish gave me more of a fright than Biggles, lol. Nice double up.
Nice tipping guys , as opted for the bigger stake for these 2
Waiting on Ghathanfar at 1730 yor for double with Hamish .
Shaquille in next, will settle for top 3 as it'll give me a couple more free bets for US racing through the week when on break.

Re rated this on soft and only real change it made was raise certain lad from 6th to 3rd so I've added him to my team 5pt at 33/1 

I've rated the John smiths cup 
See the casper  9.0 8/1 
Haunted dream  8.9 17.0 
Spirit dancer   8.9  11.5 
Majestic   8.4 
Marhaba the champ 8.4 
Tricky race and the weather could play a big part and spoil the party but I'll try 5pt wins top 3 as they are a bit clear of rest 😉 

Bunbury cup 
Awaal  9.0 15/2 
Biggles  8.9 9/1 
Streets of gold  8.8 9/1 
These 3 are clear of rest .....biggles is ridden by Ryan Moore who has placed at least in 5 of last 6 running of race I think ....so at 8/1 ew 7 places with sky that looks a cracking bet but I'll try 10pt wins all 3 with a view to another carry over bet next week if any wins 🏆

Lucky 15
A bit too late to get the 9/1 odds for Biggles!
Good luck all

The final major handicap this Saturday is the Bunbury Cup at Newmarket. The race is named after Sir Charles Bunbury who introduced the 1,000 Guineas and the 2,000 Guineas.
The race is open to 3-year-olds or older and is run over 7 furlongs. The off time is 16.00.
20 go to post and with most bookmakers offering 5 places it makes it a good betting proposition.
 
I have looked at the statistics over the last 9 years and these are my key conclusions.
Again the key stat is weight. Light weights do not perform well with those carrying less than 9st having achieved only 1 win from 69 attempts. The ideal weight range is 9st to 9st 4lbs, these horses have won 6 times from 49 starts and have delivered a profit at Betfair Starting Price of 61 points.
Horses drawn high have the best record with 5 of the 9 winners being drawn in stalls 14 to 19.
3- and 4-year-olds do not have a good record with 3 wins from 61 runs and a loss of 28 points.
 
2 horses match these criteria.
CRUYFF TURN 25/1
BIGGLES 9/1
I suggest backing these each way with bookmakers paying 5 places.

The second big handicap this Saturday is the John Smith’s Cup at York. It has been sponsored by the Tadcaster based brewery since 1960, making it the longest running commercial sponsorship in British racing.
The race is open to 3-year-olds or older and is run over 1 mile, 2 furlongs and 56 yards. The off time is 15.10.
23 go to post and with some bookmakers offering 6 places it makes it a good betting proposition.
 
I have looked at the statistics over the last 9 years and these are my key conclusions.
As is often the case, the key stat is weight. Light weights do not perform well with those carrying less than 9st 3lbs having achieved only 2 wins from 116 attempts. Those horses carrying a heavier weight have recorded 7 wins from 58 starts and have delivered a profit at Betfair Starting Price of 69 points.
Horses drawn high do not have a good record with those drawn 12 or higher having just 2 wins from 88 attempts.
It is best to concentrate on those horses at the lower end of the betting forecast. Those horses with forecast odds of 14/1 to 25/1 have produced 6 wins from 103 runs with a profit of 52 points.
 
 
4 horses match these criteria.
WHITE WOLF 14/1
CADILLAC 16/1
CERTAIN LAD 25/1
PRIDE OF AMERICA 33/1
 
I suggest backing these each way with bookmakers paying 6 places.
