VIP FRIDAY Good morning we have 5 meets in the UK today. These are my bets across the other cards today. I’ve reduced stake sizes for these for the best of the rest for a few reasons. 1. Having main bets at Newmarket, best racing is there. 2. Haven’t hit a barn door so far this week. Newmarket tips will be posted before 11.30 am latest. 2.45 YORK - SAYIDAH DARIYAN 3/1 - 0.5 win 3.10 ASCOT - ACCENTUATE 5/2 - 0.5 win 5.07 YORK - WEN MOON 8/1 - 0.5 ew 5.40 YORK - MY HARRISON GEORGE 22/1 - 0.5 ew 7.10 CHEPSTOW - ABUNDANCE 11/4 - 0.5 win 8.25 CHESTER - ROSENPUR 7/2 - 0.5 win Total points 3.
VIP FRIDAY 1.50 NEWMARKET - WAR HAWK 8/1 - 0.5 EW win 3.00 NEWMARKET - STORY HORSE 6/1 - 0.5 ew win (4 paid) 3.35 NEWMARKET - JANUARY 2/1 - 1 point win - ELWATEEN 12/1 0.5 saver 4.45 NEWMARKET - UP THE PACE 6/1 - 0.5 ew (4 paid) WAR HAWK is drifting quite a bit this morning and was 11/2 earlier. Can now take an EW price. It will be a big ask for this one to make it 3/3 from handicaps - he has won 2 in the past month for the Crisfords and we have backed him both times. His last effort was on G-S but I think he shown enough previously on the firmer ground to stick with him but I presume that’s the main reason for the substantial drift. STORY HORSE was chinned for us last month at Goodwood in a close finish when FRENCH MASTER came from the clouds to get up down the rail. It was another brilliant effort from STORY HORSE who won here at Newmarket earlier in the season. That win came from a mark of 82. We run from 87 today, Saffie Osbourne maintains the ride and the values just about there to take on the favourites. ARTISAN DANCER might be worth a few pennies at 40/1 with LIAIRI 25/1 also looking a bit overpriced based on recent effort. I think JANUARY'S 3rd place in the CORONATION STAKES at Ascot is the best recent piece of form on offer here. She has a 9lb swing in the weights with her weight allowance over rivals. CINDERELLA'S DREAM is clear danger with Godolphin and Buick having a brill day yesterday. ELWATEEN is a lot better than what we saw in the Betfred Oaks. Played up before the race - didn’t start well. Small saver for me at 12/1. TOTAL POINTS 3.
