There was 1 winner of the Scoop6 last Saturday who won £351,294! The lucky Betfred shop punter found all six winners to scoop the £201,294 win fund plus landed the £150,000 bonus on offer from Betfred boss Fred Done for placing his bet through a Betfred/Totesport channel. He will attempt to add another £271,390 to that by selecting the winner of this week’s bonus race, the 3:15 at Haydock. If they fail any winners from this week will play for an even larger bonus next time.

Saturday’s Scoop6 starts with £16,327 in the win fund and takes in action from Musselburgh and Haydock with all 6 races shown live on ITV4. (www.scoop6.co.uk)

 

Races

 

Leg 1: Twin Appeal 5/1 Skybet

We start on the flat at Musselburgh with a 12 runner handicap. The Fahey team have one of the favourites is Penwortham but he has not been seen for over 20 days. I prefer Twin Appeal who has had a couple of recent starts on the AW and will be spot on for this.

Leg 2: Easy Street 8/1 William Hill

Our first visit to Haydock and a handicap chase to look at. Jonjo O'Neill is in good nick at the mo and his runner Easy Street is very interesting now he has found his form. He won easily at Fontwell and can now defy his weight rise here. Top weight Some Buckle is entitled to go close along with the Sue Smith runner No Planning.

Leg 3: Monbeg Gold 12/1 William Hill

A 14 runner three mile chase and five of these won last time out so a very competitive renewal in store. Rathlin Rose won his two races at Sandown in weaker company but should go well here but my preference is for the unexposed Monbeg Gold who ran better last time and looks ready to strike.

Leg 4: Novoman 7/2 Skybet

Another 12 runner handicap, this time over a mile. Willie Haggas has a runner in Novoman, its a long way from his base so worth a second look and the 3yo has been gelded since we last saw him so a very interesting runner. Of the rest the top weight Mailshot is in cracking form and looks sure to go well.

Leg 5: Brotherly Company 12/1 William Hill

The big race of the day over jumps, a 2m Series Final Handicap Hurdle. No less than 7 last time out winners this time and right old puzzle to work out. On the basis of those winners being given big weight rises i'm going for one that was second at Stratford and ha sonly gone up 2lbs. Brotherly Company has been running well without winning and trainer Harry Fry is in decent form too.

Leg 6: Shrewd 8/1 Skybet

A staying handicap over 1m6f and a very open contest. The obvious place to start is with Isharah who has been very busy on the AW for Mark Johnston. He will be fitter than most and has to go on the shortlist. Shrewd is a danger on his second in the Ebor at York, not so good since but will be all the better for his break.

520 Stratford 

Little Chunk NAP 11/8 Bet365
Improved to win well at Plumpton last time out by leading all the way. His forcing tactics could pay off here at this sharp track and could get these stretched out quite quickly. The trainer does well here with his novices and the jockey takes 5lbs off his back to negate the penalty. The Skelton horse returns from an absence and is the danger.
