Our bet: Stoneacre Joe (13/8)
Won by: Thistle Nil (IRE) at 200/1 · then Star With Purpose (GB), Brash (IRE)
What we said: Easterby sprinting specialist, proven form figures, draw disadvantage offset by class edge over field
Class 6 · 1m2f · Good To Soft · 9 ran
Our bet: Fans Favourite (6/4)
Won by: Fans Favourite (GB) · then Shifter (GB), Off Spin (IRE)
What we said: recent form shows a win and third, cheekpieces retained, Palmer yard worth following when well-backed, and damsire Sea The Stars excels on today's Good To Soft
Class 5 · 7f50y · Good To Soft · 8 ran
Not a bet. The horse we made most likely: Al Muqdad
Won by: The Gay Blade (GB) at 17/2 · then Glorious Kitty (IRE), Ashen (IRE)
What we said: O'Meara/Tudhope... wait, David Nolan rides, but O'Meara targets these handicaps, cheekpieces applied, drawn 1 on a track where low draws can control pace over 7f, and OR68 looks workable off this mark
Class 4 · 1m2f · Good To Soft · 10 ran
Our bet: Star Cast (13/8)
Won by: Star Cast (GB) · then Mr Lincoln (GB), Pol Roger (IRE)
What we said: six-day turnaround after consecutive wins, top recent form (311321), light weight vs Obito, and Gemma Tutty's 5% trainer strike rate masks a horse clearly in career-best form right now
Class 6 · 1m · Good To Soft · 9 ran
Our bet: Approaching Dawn (3/1)
Won by: Hunterian (IRE) · then Rory's Gold (IRE), Flying Moonlight (IRE)
What we said: winner last time out, low OR46 gives weight advantage over top weights, Jim Goldie 17% in-form, and draw 9 suits prominent runners on a flat mile
Class 6 · 1m7f · Good To Soft · 8 ran
Our bet: Gallus Norman (4/1)
Won by: Gallus Norman (GB) at 7/2 · then La Tosca (GB), Ebony Maw (GB)
What we said: consistent form figures, Jim Goldie firing at 17% in 14d, ideal 1m7f trip on good-to-soft, and top weight Laravie quick-returning after just 1 day is a major fitness red flag at prohibitive odds
Class 6 · 1m5f26y · Good To Soft · 9 ran
Our bet: Nala The Lioness (11/4)
Won by: Is She Now (IRE) at 10/3 · then Nala The Lioness (GB), Late Claim (FR)
What we said: damsire Fastnet Rock thrives on Good To Soft, trainer flying at 27% over 14 days, and the 11d return shows live fitness with an a/e of 1.83 at course
