The sedate West Midland town of Uttoxeter grabs today's spotlight, providing 4 of the 7 races, including the Midland Grand National. 2 from Kempton and 1 from Thurles (no, me neither) make up the ITV7.

With you on that one Ken, why? Just a tad over dosed on the nags this week and have confined my search to just the ITV7 runners anyway. May have a look at a Rugby bet later, before the 8pm kick off. Small bets only with that in mind. ITV7 **** Win Acca, Trebles Doubles. ###Win Trixie. Off out soon, so on handy. Good luck.

Santos Blue  @6/1  1.50U*
Je T'ai Porte  @8/1  1.55TH#
Boombawn  @13/2  2.10K*

Looks like we agree on 4 of the 7, Togo. Let's hope that's a good omen rather than the opposite. After the Skelton's excellent Chelteham, they do appear to have several with really good chances today and i've nailed my colours firmly to their mast.

1.50 Utt;  Santos Blue @ 7/1

2.25 Utt;  Seefin @ 12/1 - 6 places (RF/c Gwennie May Boy)

2.45 Ke;   Flegmatik  @ 3/1 - 4 places

3.00 Utt;  My Silver Lining @ 11/2 - 5 places

Win singles, 20p Lucky 15, 2 x £1 e.w. accas. 4 placed = £45, 4 winners = £5,043.

ITV7, above qualifiers, plus; Walk With Paul*, Boombawn** and Val Dancer.

*omitted from £1 e.w. acca.

**£2 win and rev f/c with Kateira.

Best of luck, all.

If My silver Lining had managed to hold on I would have had a golden return. Still a 105/2 double was acceptable. Thank your Mr Skelton. Just having a look at the Rugby odds for later and will probably do Scorecasts.(first try scorer and winning margin) This is one of the rare occasions where I let heart over head take precedence and will be going for the England win. How could I bet on Les Grenoilles even with someone elses money? Probably pick try scorers on the presumtion that England can pick up the ball from the back of the scrum or a maul and get mobile before the fatties have got back on their feet. Get back when sorted.

Done. All 9 bets to a £1 stake using up some of that kind Mr Skelton's contribution. 

England win (obvs.) and first try scorer and points margin . Called a Scorecast.
