Today's Racing - 17th May

Today’s handicap action is going to be based around the Scoop 6 – for those who are still in it, and at the time of writing they’re 96,000 strong (amazingly, given the 20/1 shot winning the first at Newmarket). However for those of us already out – me basically! – there’s a lot of betting on offer today without a £10,000,000 prize fund.


In the London Gold Cup, a race that seems to produce nothing but quality winners, the choice between several unexposed horses is a difficult one but it is hard to ignore the massive walloping – 11lbs -the handicapper has dished out to Windshear following a deeply impressive win at Sandown, which leaves that day’s runner up Collaboration 10lbs better off today even before the 3lbs claim of Oisin Murphy – arguably the best on the circuit - is taken into account, which leaves him 13lbs better off for just a four and a half length beating. While Cannock Chase and Satellite must be respected after extremely impressive maiden wins, and so too much Extra Noble after a good reappearance, it may be worth taking a chance on the strength of the Sandown form even on this much better ground.
