There was Salacres Ocean, an 11-4 winner. Or they could have gone for Salacres Liberty (8-1). How many high fives would they have been giving themselves this morning if they’d flagged up Salacres Magnier (10-1) at NOTTINGHAM?
Nope – Pierrepont and Harnden opted for their 5-2 chance Salacres Pippy, who finished 4th (doh!)
Thankfully Big Mark was all over Mister Brentford to give him a £10 profit on the night. Colin Mather make a forgettable debut: -£100. But just as reminder, in case it wasn’t clear, that was another -£100 night from Peter Harnden.
At some stage today Brett Hughes will play out a scene from Good Will Hunting in the YARMOUTH racing office. He’ll hand a racecard – with big circles around the names of Swift Aquit (Ev.f) and Novel Idea (5-4) – to Marcus Westgate, with the words, ‘Do you realise how easy this is for me?’ Profit £112.50 Marcus will blush.
Dave Prentice had a winner, a loser and a non-runner for a net loss of £25. Lee Calcutt finished level.
There are always openings for new faces on the Tipsters Challenge.

NEWCASTLE
The story of the month. All in the red ink. Jimmy Wright is paddling in it. Jimmy Fenwick and Steve Anderson are drowning in it. Can we blame Ian Walton for some fiendish grading?
The views:
Syl Buster (R3 T3) Won well in A3 he’s fast away scope to improve can go in again £50 win
Jimmy Wright
Droopys Becks (R11 T3) Has enough early to lead from start to finish £50 win
SHEFFIELD
There will be a lot riding on the tenth race tonight. Shrewdie Carl Perry – currently in profit on the month – goes for an uncharacteristic £100 treble (hopefully not decided after a long pleasant evening in his new bar) including one in the sprint final. Darren and Glynn oppose him. Something has to give!

As for the selections, I am very confident off a clean sweep. The first selection is the young pup Fearsome Dream (R7 T3) who gets a huge drop in class after just the one start in A6. She wasn’t disgraced in that, and her 29.98 trial run is more than enough to win this. She is open to any amount off improvement, has the sectionals to easily lead the inside pair, and should be opening her account
I was all in on Southwood Lady (R8 T3) last time. She failed to break, ran into a wall of dogs and her race was over. This S2 looks well within her grasps if she breaks like she can. I see her getting a first bend lead and won’t be back run in this line up if she leads.
Race 10 is the D2 kennel stake final and with no rail seeds draws were always going to be a issue. I think it has worked out quite well for fastest heat winner Newwin Buzz (R10 T2). For me he just simply has too much class over these rivals his pace will take him straight into a lead and away and gone. £100 treble.

I thought tonight’s card was very interesting but a tricky card. With a lot of new dogs making there race debut and some unknown runners, I will be watching with interest.
After reviewing the card many times, I have come down on a nap of the night in the D2 Kennel stakes final. Looking at the race there is a lovely makeup for the wide runner, Penny’s Baby (R10 T6) for Chris Akers. I appreciate it did get beat last week by Barrie Drapers Newinn Buzz, but being wide in the 6 box just might give him the run of the race. My NAP £100 win
