All the racing on the box

Last Saturday we started to follow the races on terrestrial television and it proved quite popular. The popularity was no doubt due to tipping one winner and four 2nd places. Those that did each way bets had a modest return on the day. 

So this week I’ll be doing the same as for domestic reasons I will confined to the house and so an afternoon’s telly racing will be my lot, before venturing down to Caerffili Castle for a quite excellent fireworks display. 
Hopefully there will be enough returns from the afternoon to pay for a hotdog or two, after all it is the UK sausage week.
Remember each way bets on all the horses with odds above 7/1 and with the large cards there should be plenty of these.
Doncaster
2:00 Betfred the Bonus King Handicap
Axiam is a good alternative to Entitled but the big odds of Perfect Silence is going to be my each way bet.
Down Royal (Ireland)
2:20 JNwine.com Champion Chase (Grade 1) 3m
Sizing Europe or Quito De La rouque [1st]
Doncaster
2:35 Betfred Goals Galore E B F “Sir Percy” Gillies Fillies’ Stakes (Listed Race) C/1 1mile 2f60yd
The favourite and the one to beat is Principal Role [2nd] but Ceilidh House [3rd] did me proud last year so loyalty and the prospect of rain which it likes makes it my choice.
Wincanton
2:45  totescoop6 Elite Hurdle (Limited Handicap) (Grade 2) (CLASS 1) (4yo+)
Aine’s Delight [2nd] will be regarded as having no hope or Granouet is so favoured that the odds are so low
Doncaster
3:10 Betfred November Handicap C12 1mile4fr
Pekan Star or Willing Foe [2nd] who did well a fortnight ago
Wincanton
3:20 Badger Ales Trophy (Handicap Chase) (Listed Race) (CLASS 1) (4yo+ 0-150) 3m1furlong110yds
Checkerboard or the Minack [1st]  but don’t disregard last year’s winner Meanus Dandy [2nd]
Doncaster
3:40 Betfred 1350 Shops Nationwide Wentworth Stakes (Listed Race) (CLASS 1) (3yo+) 6f
Sirius Prospect [1st] or  Our Jonathan  for a complete outsider try  Lady Paris
The results are in italic and as can be seen a very satisfying 
afternoon.
