Domesday Book can conquer the odds
ALTIOR (2-9) might be the star attraction at Sandown today but the main betting feature is the Gold Cup (3.35).
Wilsonbet are paying ¼ first four places, or on request you can have 1-5 the odds first five places.
The 3m 5f trip plus the stiff uphill closing stretch has led to some great finishes and today is likely to be the same.
I like the look of Minella Daddy (9-1) for the Bowen family who took this race last season with Henllan Harri at 40-1.
Minella Daddy (right) had a quiet season and prefers better ground but is in with a big shout on his best form and he has 3lb allowance for James Bowen who is in form.
Look for a big run from Domesday Book (40-1) who has not run since winning at Cheltenham in 2017 and is ridden by the excellent Gina Andrews.
The Sandown card starts with the novices’ handicap hurdle (1.50) and here I go for Ballymoy 7-1 who since having wind surgery has bounced back with two impressive victories and I believe there are more to come. The stable of Nigel Twiston- Davies is going well and he has Daryl Jacob in the saddle.
Today’s special priced acca is 8-1 Liverpool, Chelsea, Newcastle, Burnley.
Liverpool host Stoke in the early kickoff. All the top teams are still keen to secure top four finishes and I’m going for Liverpool -1 3-4.
I’m also going for Liverpool to win the Champions League outright.
The current betting to lift the trophy in Kiev is: Real Madrid 11-10, Liverpool 6-4,
