31/10/2014 In-Running Lays: Back-to-lay Little King Robin and Cedre Bleu

2.05 Down Royal:  Little King Robin has been winning lower grade races with great front-running performances and although this is a much tougher proposition she is well off at the weights for a graded race.  She should be left alone upfront and could well open up a lead on this field to trade low; she currently trades around 7.0 for a back-to-lay.

2.15 Wetherby: Cedre Bleu is having his first run of the season in this race but so are most of the main contenders for this race but he does perform well first time out.  He has traded below half his BSP in 5 of his last 6 runs with the exception being a tough grade 3 event at Cheltenham so this looks a  good opportunity for him to go close again; he currently trades around 6.6 for a back-to-lay.

Thursday 30 October 2014

30/10/2014 In-Running Lays: Back-to-lay Kandinski

3.25 Clomel: Kandinski only win to date has come here at Clonmel and won’t mind the going today.  He is making his seasonal reappearance which is a slight negative but he ran well last year first time out when trading down to 1.24 in-running.  This four runner race could turn out to be a steady run affair with no obvious front runner but he does like to prominently so should be right there if not making it; he currently trades around 4.4 for a back-to-lay at half those odds.

Wednesday 29 October 2014

29/10/2014 In-Running Lays: Back-to-lay Stellarta and Springinherstep

2.00 Nottingham: Stellarta has been performing well in-running and despite minor flops two and three runs back he traded low last time.  There were excuses for those runs she was returning from lay off and they were class 4 handicaps; she currently trades around 18.0 which should avail a chance to lay back in-running at half those odds as she should travel well in to the latter stages.

3.10 Taunton: Springinherstep will handle the firm going at Taunton better than some of her market rivals and help with her suspect stamina over this longer trip. Although a short price around 4.2 she should travel well in to the race to trade out at half those odds in-running.

Tuesday 28 October 2014

28/10/2014 In-Running Lays: Back-to-lay Clearing and Coillte Cailin

5.40 Wolverhampton: Clearing has been in great form of late when only just being caught late on last time out after leading and the regaining the lead.  She’s going up the weights but if getting to the lead she should take them along for long enough to trade out in-running; she is currently trading around 12.0.

6.10 Wolverhampton: Coillte Cailin has traded below half her BSP in-running on all her all-weather starts here at Wolverhampton and today’s race looks another opportunity for her to run her race; back at 4.4 to lay off at half those odds in-running.

Monday 27 October 2014

27/10/2014 In-Running Lays: Back-to-lay Miss Tree and Jammy Moment

A usual poor quality Monday of racing with very little appeal for back-to-lay purposes.

3.10 Redcar: Miss Tree and Jammy Moment both look good back-to-lay bets in this 1 mile 6 furlong handicap.  Both have great in-running trading histories and you could look to lay off at 40% of the back price to guarantee a profit if one of them is matched in running.  Miss Tree is currently trading around 6.0 with Jammy Moment available at 12.0.

Sunday 26 October 2014

26/10/2014 In-Running Lays: Back-to-lay Imperial Circus and Marchese Marconi

2.15 Leopardstown: Afternoon Sunlight is a front runner that seems to perform really well on soft that should allow a trade out in-running; he currently trades around 4.2.  Also running in the race is Harasiya who has raced at the highest level and takes a step down in distance but this will be her easiest task for a long while and should travel well for a back-to-lay from her current price of 8.6.

2.55 Wincanton: Imperial Circus will like the good to firm ground at Wincanton and should travel well in to the latter stages for a back-to-lay; he currently trades around 8.0.

4.15 Galway: Marchese Marconi looks to be up against a good horse in Windsor Park but he travels so well in his races and usually ends up leading late on without actually winning that he’s been a great horse to lay in-running.   Look to back at 4.4+ or if he is too short you try an in-running lay at evens.

Saturday 25 October 2014

25/10/2014 In-Running Lays: Back-to-lay Eastlake and Sargeant Mattie

2.40 Doncaster: Emerahldz handles soft ground with a win over 10 furlongs on heavy ground.  He will probably lead in this race and take them along for long enough to trade out at half the back price; he currently trades around 9.2.

4.10 Chepstow: Hidden Identity has an history of consistently trading low in-running apart from her last two runs at Cheltenham but does have winning form here at Chepstow so she could get back to trading low again back from a break at big price; she currently trades around 30.0.

4.25 Doncaster: Intiwin likes to race right behind the pace and has form on soft ground.  He has traded below half his BSP in 5 of his 6 runs to date with the only time failing to do so being on quick ground at York so today’s conditions will give him a great chance to trade low in-running again.

4.40 Doncaster: Lilac Lace should go close in this handicap, she handles soft ground and could well make all on her favoured going.  She is currently trading around 7.4 for a back-to-lay.

4.45 Chepstow: Eastlake has traded below half his BSP in 25 out of 26 runs and looks a great bet to do so again.  He usually travels really well in his races and makes headway to challenge late on; he currently trades around 18.0.

4.50 Aintree: Sargeant Mattie has traded below half his BSP in all his 6 national hunt races to date and has a fitness edge over the other main players in this race.  He’s currently trading around 7.4 so you can lay back at half those odds in-running.

Friday 24 October 2014

24/10/2014 In-Running Lays: Back-to-lay Red Pike and Vegas Rebel

3.20 Newbury: Vegas Rebel looked good last time when trying soft ground for the first time with a 3 ½ length win.  He’ll probably start around 4.0 so you could try to lay back at 2.0 in-running as the conditions should really suit and see him travel well in to the race late on.

3.30 Doncaster: Red Pike has traded below half his BSP in his last 8 runs and with his front-running style it will keep him out of trouble in this big field handicap. If he can make the lead or contest it then you should be able to trade out from his current trading price of 14.0.

Thursday 23 October 2014

23/10/2014 In-Running Lays: Back-to-lay Whats Up Woody and Shantalla

4.00 Carlisle: Whats Up Woody steps up to a distance that stretches his stamina but he should travel well for long enough for his price to contract enough to trade out.  He has race fitness over half of this field and likes to race prominently and sometimes lead; he’s currently trading around 14.0 which is a great price to try a back-to-lay on this likely front-runner.

4.55 Thurles: Shantalla should find this 2 mile 2 furlong trip more to his liking and strip fitter for his seasonal reappearance four days ago. He gets 5lb claimer Shane Shortall who rode him last time out when trading down from a BSP of 20.0 to 5.20 in-running; look to back around 7.0+ to lay off at half in-running.

Wednesday 22 October 2014

22/10/2014 In-Running Lays: Back-to-lay Woodlands Walk and Go Odee Go

4.35 Worcester: Woodlands Walk won first time out last year over 2 mile 4 furlongs on soft ground so today’s race will be fine for him.  He is lightly raced and since moving to handicaps from novice company he has finished second twice and should go close again today. Look to back at 5.0 to lay off at half in-running.

5.35 Worcester: Go Odee Go will have race fitness over the key players in this race where many of the field are making their hurdles debut coming from the point-to-point scene and national hunt flat races. No No Romeo looks the class horse in the field but he could have bigger targets in mind for the future; look to back at 5.8 to lay off at 2.9 in-running.

Tuesday 21 October 2014

21/10/2014 In-Running Lays: Back-to-lay Somedaysrdiamonds and Bajan Blu

2.50 Wolverhampton: Somedaysrdiamonds has been leading and running well in 5 furlong sprints but today she steps up to 6 furlongs.  The only time she hasn’t traded below half her BSP was on her debut and today looks another good opportunity for her to trade low in-running as she should set the pace early.  Look to back her around 18.0+ to lay off at half in-running.

4.10 Exeter: Bajan Blu seems to be in great form of late finishing second in his last two runs and trading down to 1.31 and 1.40 in those races.  Those last races were run on good to firm while todays going will be on the soft side of good but he does have a history of trading low in running on much worse ground, so today’s will not be a problem for him.  He’s currently trading around 7.2 which is a good price for a back-to-lay on this horse that will probably lead.

9.00 Kempton: Punk has traded below half his BSP in his last 5 runs and tackles the same grade race he ran in last time where he met trouble in running but still traded down to 16.0 from a BSP of 40.31.  He’s 2lb lower today and could get competitive late on if he can avoid trouble in-running by racing more prominently as he had done previously.

Monday 20 October 2014

20/10/2014 In-Running Lays: Back-to-lay Come On Dave and Ty Gwr

3.10 Pontefract: Come On Dave has wins on soft over 5 furlongs and although he is on an high mark that will probably stop him from winning it won’t stop him from being right up with the pace and possibly leading till the final furlong. He currently trades around 28.0 which will soon disappear if making the lead.

5.40 Pontefract: Ty Gwr should go very close to winning this handicap; he goes well on soft and should come with a late run to challenge for lead.  He’s on the short side but if you can get 4.0+ then you could try a back-to-lay as he should be involved in the finish.

Sunday 19 October 2014

19/10/2014 In-Running Lays: Back-to-lay Own Na View and Fosters Cross

2.45 Kempton: Owen Na View reverts back to chasing where he has traded very low in-running in his two chase starts to date; he currently trades around 5.4 which is just big enough for a back-to-lay.

3.25 Cork: Fosters Cross looks a decent back-to-lay in this 2 mile handicap chase.  He should travel well and if avoiding trouble in-running in a race that looks to have a few dodgy jumpers you should be able to trade out in-running from his current price of 12.0.

3.35 Bath: Boite should take a prominent position in this staying handicap and while he hasn’t won for a long time he has being contesting hotter races than this including finishing 3 lengths third to Leading Light in a group 3.  He currently trades around 14.0 on Betfair.


3.50 Kempton: Prince Des Marais made all last time out to win when stepped up to 2 mile 7 furlongs and today he tackles 3 mile which will be fine for him. He’s up 5lb for his last win but he should go close again; he currently trade around 7.0 on betfair for a back-to-lay.

Saturday 18 October 2014

18/10/2014 In-Running Lays: Back-to-lay Noble Mission and Traditionelle

A busy Saturday see’s lots of really competitive racing and not see many clear cut in-running opportunities with many races containing multiple candidates that have great in-running histories. Checkout all of today’s in-running ratings for yourself.

4.05 Ascot: Noble Mission is sure to lead in the Champion Stakes on his favoured going.  He’s been incredibly consistent this year and his best performances have come when leading and still digging in late on so should avail a trade out in-running from his current price of 8.4.

6.15 Wolverhampton: Traditionelle recorded a win here at Wolverhampton 2 runs back when travelling just behind the pace to take it up a furlong out.  Her prominent run style keeps her out of trouble and should travel well in to the latter stages to allow a trade out; she currently trades at 12.0 on Betfair.

Friday 17 October 2014

17/10/2014 In-Running Lays: Back-to-lay Englishman and Shamrock Sheila

3.40 Haydock: Englishman gets is favoured soft ground today and with Cam Hardie on board taking 3lb pound off he looks a good back-to-lay bet.  He currently trades around 15.0 on Betfair which you can lay back at half the price in-running.

4.50 Haydock: Stock Hill Fair has winning form on soft ground and takes a big step up in distance on his recent runs but he does have winning form at 1 mile 6 furlongs.  He’s currently trading around 34.0 on Betfair and if taking a prominent position you should be able to trade out in-running.

7.20 Wolverhampton: Shamrock Sheila drops down from listed company on turf to this class 4 nursery handicap on the all-weather.  She does have a win on the all-weather and travels well in her races and with her prominent racing style she should offer a trade out in-running before fading late on; she currently trades around 40.0 on Betfair.

Thursday 16 October 2014

16/10/2014 In-Running Lays: Back-to-lay Ruby Glow and Al Alfa

2.20 Wincanton: Ruby Glow has a great record of trading low in-running and has traded below 10% of his BSP four times from nine career starts without winning.  He will be a big price today for this race; he currently trades around 36 which looks a great price to lay off at half those odds in-running.

3.50 Wincanton: Al Alfa likes to race right up with pace and sometimes lead and more often than not will find himself in the lead late on in his races so makes for a great back-to-lay.  He currently trades around 6.8 which is a great price to lay off in-running at 3.4 for a double up.

Wednesday 15 October 2014

15/10/2014 In-Running Lays: Back-to-lay Oyster Shell and Fair Loch

2.50 Wetherby:  Oyster Shell lacks for a run this season but has run well fresh in the past on his first run of the season.  He travels well in his races and even if fitness tells in the end he could quite easily continue his good run of trading low in-running; he currently trades around 4.4 which is just big enough for a back-to-lay.

3.25 Wetherby: Fair Loch looks a great back-to-lay bet to continue his great in-running record that has seen him being beaten at 1.01, 1.30, 2.14, 2.14, 1.66 and 3.30 in his last six runs.  He currently trades around 9.4 so you could either try a straight back-to-lay or split your stakes and chance half at 20% or even 10% of the back price for a bigger return.

Tuesday 14 October 2014

14/10/2014 In-Running Lays: Back-to-lay Kilbree Kid and Uncle Bernie

3.40 Leicester: Kosika is a tough Mark Johnston front-runner that looks likely to lead in this 7 furlong contest.  Though it’s unknown how he will handle this heavy ground he should run well long enough to trade out of a back-to-lay bet around 20.0 currently on Betfair.

4.50 Huntingdon: Kilbree Kid likes to race up with the pace and will have a race fitness edge over the favourite Druids Nephew.  He has point-to-point wins with cut in the ground and also ran to a head second on soft ground back in May.  He currently trades around 6.6 which is a fair price for a back to lay in this four runner race.

6.00 Wolverhampton: Uncle Bernie is in great form at present seeking his third win in a row after an easy 7 length win last time out here at Wolverhampton.  Although bumped up considerably in the weights he could still be in with a winning chance and looks a good back-to-lay to at least be involved late on.  He currently trades around 6.6 on Betfair.

Monday 13 October 2014

13/10/2014 In-Running Lays: Back-to-lay Cloggy Powell

Betfair has been down for over an hour and but luckily on a day with not much racing with Salisbury rained off.  It would be a catastrophe for anyone with back-to-lays if it isn’t back up and running in time.

5.20 Sedgefield Cloggy Powell looks to have a lot against him being 5lb out of the handicap and being beaten out of sight last time but if the extra distance suits it could see him go well enough to trade low.  If you can get big odds at 70.0+ it could be worth trying a risky lay back at 20% of the back price for a 5/1 winner.


Sunday 12 October 2014

Jumps Action at Auteuil with Kemaliste and Trezor at the Pardubice

The Cross Country Pardubice in the Czech Republic takes place today at 3.35 with Orphee Des Blins an odds-on favourite to win the race for the third time.  The race has been dominated by Tiumen and Orphee Des Blins winning the last five editions of the race but I’ll take a chance with Trezor who was joint favourite last year for the race but is available at 14.0 on Betfair and 10/1 with Racebets for this year’s event.  He’s in great form this year and if the favourite under-performs then he could take this at a decent price as he’ll probably go off around 6-8 on the Czech PMU.

Over at Auteuil in the 3.10 Reve De Sivola takes on some of France’s leading hurdlers but he’s sure to find the distance too short at 2 mile 3 furlongs though he has been backed around 5.0 on betfair he is currently 15.0 on the PMU.  Grand Luce will be favourite for the race and the most obvious winner but Kemaliste could run well only carrying 9-13 and was a comfy winner last time out here at Auteuil over 2 mile 2 furlongs conceding weight all round to his rivals.

The race is a big step up for Kemaliste but he has the weights in his favour and is coming in to this race off a nice win; he is is currently 5.1 on the PMU but available at 10/1 with Racebets.

12/10/2014 In-Running Lays: Back-to-lay Marchese Marconi and Tioga Pass

3.40 Goodwood: Ladweb looks a good back-to-lay in this sprint; he has winning form on soft ground which will inconvenience many of the others in the race.  If taking up a prominent position he should trade low enough for a back-to-lay; he currently trades around 20.0 on betfair .

4.05 Limerick: Dane Sir Henery will be a big price in the handicap hurdle at 40.0+ but that hasn’t stopped him trading low in-running before. He usually travels well enough in to the latter stages of his races to see his price tumble for a back-to-lay.

4.20 Curragh: Marchese Marconi finished second in this race last year and could well go close again off a similar mark.  He travels well in his races and usually makes late headway that has seen him trade low in-running; look to back at 16.0+ and lay back at half those odds in-running.

5.15 Goodwood: Tioga Pass has winning form on soft ground over course and distance and looks to have a good chance of going close in this 1 mile 4 furlong race.  At 9.8 he is a great price for a back-to-lay.

Saturday 11 October 2014

11/10/2014 In-Running Lays: Back-to-lay Spinatrix and Watchable

2.45 Hexham: Bobs Lady Tamure was in great form last season without actually winning.  He has traded below half his BSP in his last 6 runs and should add to that again; he travels well in his races and usually challenges for the lead late on which has seen him trade low in-running.  Look to back at 8.6 and lay off at half those odds in-running.

3.30 York Spinatrix and Watchable could be both worth playing in this big sprint at 40% of the BSP.  They both race prominently and if just one of them is matched in running them we’ll be in profit.  Spinatrix trades currently around 22 with Watchable trading around 8.4.

4.55 Chepstow: Boondooma looks a worthy favourite for this race which he could win first time out.  He ran well first tme out last season and with his prominent style of racing he looks a good back-to-lay of you can get on at a decent price.  Look to back around 4.4+ to lay back at half those odds in-running.

Friday 10 October 2014

10/10/2014 In-Running Lays: Back-to-lay Double Ross and Clearing

3.55 Newton Abbot: Double Ross has traded below half his BSP in his last 9 runs and this looks another good opportunity for him to do so again by leading in this small but quality field.  He won first time out last season and gets 4lb from most of his rivals today.  He currently trades around 7.4 which gives plenty of manoeuvre to lay off in-running at half those odds.

5.45 Wolverhampton: Punk will either lead or race just behind the leaders and if you get 65.0+ then you will be able to trade out in-running fairly quickly if taking a prominent position in this sprint.

6.50 Wolverhampton: Clearing has traded below half his BSP in 9 of his 10 races to date and should do so again today.  He likes to race up with the pace or lead; he currently trades around 11.5 which is a great price for a back-to-lay in this sprint.


Thursday 9 October 2014

09/10/2014 In-Running Lays: Back-to-lay Bajan Blu

4.00 Leicester: Kayfton Pete could well be allowed to bowl off along in front which should make for back-to-lay opportunity around 10.0 on Betfair currently. Also running in the race is Going Concern; though he’s too short for a back-to-lay around 3.6 you may be able to get bigger in-running as he usually makes eye-catching headway in his races travelling strongly.  Try for 5.0 in-running if he’s still in touch and going well with enough time get involved in the finish.

4.50 Exeter: Bajan Blu looks a good front-runner for a back-to-lay who should get the lead on his own.  He drops down in distance from 2 mile 7 furlong last time to 2 mile 1 furlong for this event but has traded low over this distance and on quicker ground that he will get today.  Look to back around 8.0 to lay off at 4.0 in-running.

Wednesday 8 October 2014

Look to the All-Weather for Back-to-lays

The in-running form has become a little erratic on the flat over turf with end of season form tailing off and big changes in the going so I’m going to try and concentrate more on the all-weather racing when possible.  The form and in-running should be more consistent as the going is always standard and tracks very similar.  Yesterday I purposely concentrated on the all-weather and with two back-to-lays that both paid off.

The quality of the jumps racing will start to pick up over the next few weeks as the flat season closes out that will present better in-running opportunities and the possibility to trade in-running.

Today’s racing is quite poor and I don’t really fancy any back-to-lays today as nothing stands out.

Tuesday 7 October 2014

07/10/2014 In-Running Lays: Back-to-lay Captain Starlight and Dangerous Age

6.05 Kempton: Captain Starlight has been trading very low from quite big prices and should be backed to do the same again.   He likes to come with a late charge that should see his price drop for a trade out; he currently trades around 13.0 so you can lay back half the odds in-running.

8.35 Kempton: Dangerous Age looks a great back-to-lay bet in this sprint.  She’s been racing in 5 furlong sprints but steps up to 6 furlongs for the first time which should see her travel well in this race to the latter stages to allow a trade out.  She currently trades around 20.0 so you can lay back in-running at 10.0.

Monday 6 October 2014

06/10/2014 In-Running Lays: Back-to-lay Potent Embrace, Stock Hill Fair and Persian Bolt

3.10 Pontefract: Potent Embrace has been a great horse to follow for back-to-lays; trading less than half his BSP in 11 out of 13 runs to date. He drops down to a mile that will not inconvenience and will handle any rain that comes.  He will most probably try to make all today that should make for back-to-lay; he currently trades around 5.7.

3.50 Windsor: Stock Hill Fair is in decent form and has traded low with ease in the ground before so looks a decent chance for a back-to-lay in this 1 mile 3 ½ furlong handicap where his stamina will come in to play.  Look to back around 8.0 to lay off at half in-running.

4.20 Windsor: Persian Bolt has traded below half his BSP in 10 of his 13 runs to date.  He has decent form on soft ground; trading all the way down to 1.68 from a BSP of 4.64 three runs back so should be backed to do the same again.  He current trades around 5.4 for a back-to-lay at half the price.

Sunday 5 October 2014

05/10/2014 In-Running Lays: Back-to-lay Vector Force

Today’s the Arc in Paris and I’m hoping for a bit of good luck in-running for Ectot who I backed back in July at three figure prices on Betfair.  It's set up more like a big field handicap with 20 runners and 7/1 the field with the bookies; there’s bound to be some hard-luck stories.



I’m going to enjoy today’s international racing and will be on the look-out for any stand-out prices on the PMU and any fancied French horses I can get at big prices with our bookies.

If you fancy taking advantage of the PMU markets then you will want to open up a Racebets account and then you can bet directly in to the French tote.

Just the one in-running back-to-lay I’m going to be trying today.

3.10 Tipperary: Vector Force has been bumped up the weights with a 6lb penalty for his last win but he did win nicely and with his prominent run style either leading or just behind the pace he should go close again to trade out for a back-to-lay.  Look to back at 7.4 and lay back at 3.7 in-running.

Saturday 4 October 2014

04/10/2014 In-Running Lays: Back-to-lay Justice Day and Dance King

Some tough results yesterday in-running despite starting with a winner; things soon turned.  Plucky Dip looked likely to save the day making his usual late headway to get his run blocked late in the straight.  Hopefully things will go a little better with today’s selections.

2.05 Ascot: Justice Day has been contesting some hot sprints lately and trading Very low; either leading or leading late on. Today’s listed event looks to be his level and should contest this for a back-to-lay around 10.0.

4.25 Ascot: Felwah will try and blast off in front and try to make all in this 7 furlong contest.  She is stepping up from handicap company to listed class but has already racked up 4 wins in her last 5 races.  She currently trades around 6.6 which is a big enough price for a back-to-lay on this front-runner.

4.40 Newmarket: Remember should go close in this 6 furlong sprint to usually lead late on before her run peters out.  Look to back around 6.8 and lay back at half those odds.

5.00 Ascot: Peterkin and Extrasolar could both be worth playing in this sprint.  They both like to race up with the pace and usually end up leading at some point in their races before fading so it could pay to play both at 40% of the back price as back-to-lays; both will be around the 36.0 mark in this big field.

5.30 Redcar: Dance King is on a run of 7 consecutive trades below half his BSP and should carry that on today if he comes with his usual late charge. Look to back around 10.0 to lay back at half those odds in-running.

Friday 3 October 2014

03/10/2014 In-Running Lays: Back-to-lay Red Pike, Book of Excuses, Above the Rest and Plucky Dip

3.05 Ascot: Red Pike is a front runner who has been running over 6 and 7 furlongs who is on a run of 7 consecutive in-running trades below half his BSP.  All his wins have come at 6 furlongs leading in his races which he tackles again today; he currently trades around 18.0 on Betfair and if making or contesting the lead he will trade low enough for a back-to-lay.

3.30 Hexham: Book of Excuses has traded below half his BSP in his five races under rules prior to his point-to-point career.  He has led in his recent races and gets Jason Maguire this time who rides well from the front; he is currently around the 6.6 mark which is a decent price to trade on this front runner as a back-to-lay bet.

4.15 Ascot: Above the Rest has traded below half his BSP in all 6 runs to date and today looks another good chance for this front runner in this competitive race. He currently trades around 7.4 which is great price for a back-to-lay.

8.20 Wolverhampton: Pluck Dip is on a hat-trick bid of 3 consecutive wins at Wolverhampton and should go close again despite a 6lb penalty for the latest win.  He currently trades around 6.8 which is great price for a back-to-lay and if he comes with his late usual charge he should trade below half those odds.

Thursday 2 October 2014

02/10/2014 In-Running Lays: Back-to-lay Marufo, Coolharbour Breeze and Father Stone

2.30 Southwell: Marufo tackles a tricky four runner 3 mile chase; he has dropped right down the weights recently and gets a 7lb claimer today to help his cause further.  Though at the age of 12 he still has run well in his races trading down to less than 20% of his BSP in his last two runs and drops down to a class 5 this time which should see him get involved at the finish. He currently trades around 4.2 which is plenty short enough for a back-to-lay but this is only a four runner race.

4.55 Clonmel: Coolharbour Breeze will either lead or race up behind the pace which should make for a nice back-to-lay if he hangs around long enough; he is currently trades around 32.0 for a back-to-lay. 

6.15 Kempton: Father Stone has traded below half his BSP in all but one of nine runs to date with today’s race looking another good opportunity.  He seems to really like Kempton’s all-weather track and should come with a late run again for back-to-lay; he currently trades at 14.0 on Betfair.

01/10/2014 In-Running Lays: Back-to-lay Alex Vino and Afatcat

3.55 Salisbury: Alex Vino returns back to 10 furlongs; a distance he has two wins over after trying a little further last time out.  Ryan more is in the saddle again today and he has ridden him positively in leading or racing right behind the pace in his last two runs.  He currently trades around 6.0 which is a great price for a back-to-lay.

4.25 Sligo: Afatcat is on a run of 9 consecutive races having traded below half his BSP in-running and should be backed to do the same today in similar race conditions.  Look to back at 20.0+ and lay off at half the back odds in-running.
