Well what a breathless afternoon, what a breathless meeting. The Flyer finished with a flourish, with 5/1 and 16/1 winners, a couple of places, and emphatic returns from his specials tips on the week, with Elliott & Russell claiming their respective titles, at 9/4 and 10/1.

Meeting Specials

Festival. I have been through them all and these are the best value bets.

1. Prestbury Cup - Ireland to win 6pts win at 5/6: WON
2. Davy Russell - Top Jockey - 2pts win at 10/1: WON
3. Gordon Elliott - Top Trainer - 4pts win at 9/4: WON

Total Staked = 12pts: Total Return, 46pts

And our 'Hotpots' article listed Apples Shakira as a LAY - some day from our horse racing tipster, on the biggest stage of all.

The team took an 11pt profit in to the third day of the meeting, and while it wasn't a great day for our individual selections - our specials tips for the week are in fantastic shape. We suggested 6pts at 5/6 for Ireland to win the Prestbury Cup - which is already home and hosed - while Davy Russell's three timer puts him top of the Jockey lists. We're on him at 10/1.

The team were trying to follow up on Tuesday's three winners and it was another day for the bookies to suffer - with popular horses going in all afternoon. Here how we got on.
