Yesterday was another superb day for us with the win double landing a handsome return and plenty of other winners to boot.
Racing takes place over jumps at Ayr and Fontwell in the afternoon, before Southwell takes over the mantle in the evening. On the flat, the first day of Newbury's Greenham meeting takes place before Bath hosts an evening card. In Ireland, Dundalk on the All Weather and Kilbeggan over jumps both host meetings in the evening.
Here are Danny Archer's selections...
Bank on Bur at Ayr
2:10: Ayr - Burbank evs.
Advert
Ran an absolute stormer to finish fourth in the G1 Neptune Investment Management Novices' Hurdle at last month's Cheltenham Festival and whilst it was disappointing that he could not justify short odds at Musselburgh the time before, that trip might just have been on the short side for him and he will appreciate the trip of two miles and four furlongs which just about looks perfect for the son of Yeats.
2:40: Ayr - Azzuri 11/4.
Dan and Harry Skelton are on fire at the moment and they team up with this son of Azamour who finished second to a decent sort at Wincanton last time. The five-year-old had previously beaten a horse that won next time out at Huntingdon and whilst he does have his quirks, this type of track should suit this flat-bred gelding and he looks worth backing.
Advert
3:15: Ayr - Winningtry 7/2.
Paul Nicholls is going all out to retain his trainers championship title and he will be keen to add some much needed prize money here with Trevor Hemmings' gelding who won well at Wincanton last time. This is his handicap debut he looks to be off a workable mark.
4:20: Ayr - Nomoreblackjack 2/1 NAP.
Advert
I am a massive fan of Sue Smith's charge who is an electric jumper at his fences. Hopefully he can get another easy lead here and with that in mind he should cope well with the drop in trip and is taken to continue Danny Cook's excellent season.
4:50: Ayr - Timeforwest 7/2.
Done us a few favours in recent times and whilst this mare is now 20lb higher, he might be capable of defying his new mark.
5:25: Ayr - Lochnell 12/1 Each Way (1/4).
Advert
Won four times here and probably didn't see out the trip at Kelso last time. He looks worth backing dropped back in trip.
Financial incentive with Priceless at Bath
4:55: Bath - Big Time Maybe 7/4.
Advert
Touch to call but Tom Dascombe's two-year-old have been running very well and he is a half-brother to Angelic Lord who also won on his debut for this yard.
6:00: Bath - Priceless 6/4.
I was at Doncaster when Clive Cox's charge won in September and five furlong looks the ideal trip for the daughter of Exceed And Excel.
7:00: Bath - Star Of Lombardy 5/4 (Win Treble).
Mark Johnston's charge has been impressive twice recently on the All Weather and despite being raised 5lb, he still sets the standard here.
Luck be a Lady with Lakeshore at Fontwell
2:20: Fontwell - Southfield Vic 10/11 (Win Treble).
Paul Nicholls' charge looks tough to beat and will appreciate the better ground.
2:55: Fontwell - Pilansberg 2/5 (Win Treble).
Tough to look past Paul Nicholls' charge who has run very well in defeat twice.
4:30: Fontwell - Lakeshore Lady 7/4.
David Bridgwater's charge did us a hood favour when winning at the track last week and despite having to shoulder a 7lb penalty, he must have a chance here.
Double your money and try get rich with Up at Newbury
2:30: Newbury - Oceane 4/1.
Alan King's charge really appeals to me and the return to turf and step up in trip look sure to be in his favour.
3:05: Newbury - Dubawi Prince 10/1 Each Way (1/4, 2 places).
Has to improve on Doncaster maiden win but he did that well and has a fitness edge over his rivals.
4:10: Newbury - Solomon's Bay 8/1 Each Way (1/4, 4 places).
Won well at Yarmouth in September and had trouble in running last time.
4:40: Newbury - Double Up 2/1.
Goes well fresh and had a breathing operation which should help.
Colonial to Imperialist Dreamer at Southwell
7:45: Southwell - Colonial Dreamer evs.
Took a step forward when second at Kempton and whilst there are a couple of interesting newcomers, he sets the standard.
Don't tell just Ask at Dundalk
7:55: Dundalk - Asking 7/4.
Won well here last time and remains open to improving on that run.
Coeur to be our Beau at Kilbeggan
8:05: Kilbeggan - Coeur De Beauchene 6/5.
Unable to get head in front but extra trip might bring about improvement needed to win this event.
Win Double
5/1 Win Treble
2:20: Fontwell - Southfield Vic
2:55: Fontwell - Pilansberg
7:00: Bath - Star Of Lombardy
A few more selections:
5:20: Dundalk - Mount Wellington.
Expensive purchase who is a well bred son of Invincible Spirit. Up against some decent rivals but represents a trainers whose horses are well forward this year.
5:55: Dundalk - Rivellino.
By far the best horse in this who ran who is officially rated 94, 27lb higher than his nearest rival. He looks a stand out here and a really good bet.
8:55: Dundalk - Arbourfield.
Smullen rides and holds good chance in last two victories.
7:30: Bath - International Law. Brian Meehan's charge was a half-length second at Newbury last time and capable of going one better.
