Hello again one and all,
The start of a new week, sees the heatwave here continuing, and five meetings and a total of 36 races to get our teeth into. The action all begins at Southwell with the 1:55pm - the Prestige Safety First Aid Training Handicap Chase, and concludes at 9:00 with the Follow @AtTheRaces On Twitter Handicap taking place at Wolverhampton
Recap - Sunday, 25th June, 2023
Silver Sword came up trumps for us yesterday, with a comfortable victory, finishing 3.25 lengths ahead. Always prominent, tracking the leading pair, until switching right coming off the turn for home, and making his challenge. Breezed past the front two, and while the eventual second, Star Player made a brief effort of trying to stay in touch, ultimately didn't have the pace to stop our pick from running clear, before easing down slightly across the line.
Tipsters Standings
A 12th winner for the month moves Lee Sobot three winners clear, with just 5 days left till the end of the month. Still a possibility to be caught but with the losing streaks of the next 2 tipsters currently at five, and four respectively it's a big ask. Lambourn did move up to join them on 9 winners but still needs a good run to make a dent in the lead.
Today's Bets
Alpina Express : 3yo Chestnut Filly
Tipped By : Lee Sobot (and 2 others)
Trainer : Charlie Johnston
Jockey : Joe Fanning
A winner in both of her last two outings, with today's jockey in the plate for both of those victories, earlier this month. Last time out a 4.5 length winner over this distance at Carlisle a week ago. Receives a 6lb rise in the ratings as a result, but still considered the be the one to beat.

Cheeky Extra Bet
No joy with our test yesterday, with neither selection advised troubling the odds-on favourite, although Imperial Data did finish second, whilst the one I placed a bet on Monty Nevett rolled home in 9th place, well off the pace.
Today, Renegade Racing has sided with the odds-on favourite, instead of going against him, despite not having raced since finishing first in two bumpers in July and August last year. First time over obstacles today.
And finally...
That about wraps it up for another day,
Hope you all have a great day and rest of the weekend, and hope you find some success in your day, whether that be in the sports world or otherwise. And as usual if you follow the picks or go against them let me know, you never know there may be a reward coming your way with some SPORTS tokens.
Until tomorrow
Steve
