Sunday’s Racing Nap Is Lord Erskine At Naas - By Rick Elliott

Racing fans would have been upset by the demise of Coneygree and Cue Card at Wetherby yesterday. However, followers of the NH Thrifty Fifty were besides themselves with joy because the service recommended backing Bristol De Mai (1st) and Blaklion (2nd) each-way. The Betfan Betting Bunker suggested the two market leaders were both lays and neither completed the course after jumping errors blamed on the low sun. Today’s feature race is the November Handicap at Naas (3pm) where LORD ERSKINE can deliver at 11/2 with Ladbrokes.

The Premier League programme has been previewed elsewhere but the banker bet is a double in the two Manchester teams to beat their opponents from London at 7/2 with Coral. In the Championship the north east derby brings together Middlesbrough and Sunderland. It’s a strange statistic but Sunderland are averaging two goals in their last eight league matches but have not won any of them. That would suggest they are conceding more so the bet of the day is Both Teams To Score at 21/20 with Coral.

I hope you will all be getting up early or staying up late to see the race that stops a nation at 4am on Tuesday. The Melbourne Cup is a hybrid of Royal Ascot and the Grand National. Race goers dress to the nines and offices and factories run sweeps. The leading contenders are mainly bred in Europe and it’s a trainer better known for winners at the Cheltenham Festival who can win the biggest race in Australia. THOMAS HOBSON (12/1 with bet365) has the speed and stamina to prevail Down Under in the middle of the night UK time on Tuesday.

Best Wishes,
