    Did you get your extra £5 free bet on horses from last week?

    I didn't see the offer until late yesterday but you could get 2no £5 free bets on horse racing one on Monday and another on Thursday instead of the normal £5 bet on anything.

    First two fancies

    TOP JOCKEY reasoning

    NICO DE BOINVILLE 7/1 generally (looks like 6/1 now and 5/1 in places)

    The short priced favourite for top jockey is Paul Townend and he is obviously going to be very hard to beat with the book of rides he has got. But I can see lots of value in NICO DE BOINVILLE at 7/1 if he has a lucky week. You can give almost give him a 1 or 2 lead before the festival kicks off with Constitution Hill and Shishkin and then if he gets lucky with Jonbon, Maries Rock, Luccia, plus a couple of handicap winners/places, or even 5 winners, if Paul Townend has a bad week, Nico really should be thereabouts. The five favourites I have mentioned are very strong and if you compare it against Paul Townend 5 or 6 strong favourites, the price difference for top jockey seems wrong. NICO DE BOINVILLE top jockey at 7/1 is a great bet. I was leaning towards betting W/O PT but after the recent podcast in which NICO DE BOINVILLE was mentioned, it has put me firmly in that camp.

    TUESDAY RACE 1

    I am with @lucy4 Marine Nationale in the opener first decent bet of the festival

    Just back the winner, forget about looking for better odds, winning .50p is better than losing a quid :).

    I am being a bit Mr thick Mcthick face, or are Sky Bet not giving the option for a placepot today @ Chelts? . Done Jackpot & ITV 7......but can not select PP. Not a good start for Sky Bet if that is case. I best go and open a TOTE account quickly....
