Carl Harris offers up a bumper batch of bets to get the week under way...
I am still in awe of Sea The Stars, but living in Yorkshire I was delighted to hear that his next destination could be the International at York - a date I definitely will not miss.
Strangely for a Monday there are quite a few decent bets to get stuck into today. I will be at Ripon - a picturesque Yorkshire track where I have done pretty well over the years.
Acquisition (7.50) is the best bet on the card in my view with Henry Cecil booking Eddie Ahern for the filly's handicap debut. A mark of 74 looks fair following a maiden win where she was not at all overly extended to win. It was a very poor race but her breeding suggests she should be better than this grade and I suspect she may be well handicapped.
Eddie Ahern carries our hopes aboard Eastern Warrior (9.20) who is hoping to score after hitting the crossbar three times in succession. As a three-year-old he gets a handy weight allowance from chief market rival Nisaal which could be the decisive factor. John Hills' gelding should really win this race. I will also be laying Nisaal at a price that is short enough to do so.
I will have one bet elsewhere, which is the prolific Argentine (3.45) at Musselburgh. I have owned a few horses but would love one with the heart that this fellow has shown in winning four of this last six races. Carrying a penalty he can confirm form with Racoon and should have the measure of hat-trick seeking Secret Venue who is running off a four pound higher mark.
Mondays Best Bets:
3.45 Musselburgh- Argentine, win
7.50 Ripon- Acquisition, win
9.20 Ripon- Eastern Warrior, win
9.20 Ripon- Nisaal, Lay
