Overall a loss of 9.03 points. Originally Paul was not going to give the Win and Place bets at all. And tighten up his belt, but felt confident enough in his ability to select, based on his past results trialling with me I expected better but you just cannot judge these big festivals as well as the every day race meetings.
The 5 win and place bets lost a total of 10 points and if you didn’t fancy those bets you would be sitting slightly in profit. I was very happy with Pauls ability to lay once again with the lays of Dunguib, Captain Cee Bee, Rite of Passage and Denman.
The festivals are even harder to predict with such big fields but Paul did his research and took a shot at making you some money for a measly £2.37. Paul will hopefully be back for some more tips at Aintree and I hope they turn out better!
