Key Points
- Three betting tips from three different meetings
- I have combined my three Friday picks into a Patent bet
- I’m expecting a good result ahead of the weekend
Let’s dare to be different!
Today seems like a good time to try out a different approach, so I will use my Friday selections to place an each way Patent bet. Don’t worry if this is something new to you, I will reveal all, but first, let me tell you about my Friday selections.
My first pick runs at Haydock and this is a filly who is ready to break her maiden at the third time of asking. She receives weight from her main rivals and should perform very well. My next selection comes at Bangor-On-Dee. He is a previous course and distance winner, who has been patiently-handled by connections, and seems primed for a big run here. The final race on the card at Ascot is the destination for my third candidate, who is surely going under the radar.
What is a Patent bet?
A Patent bet is known as a full cover bet and it’s based on three selections. It consists of seven different wagers, which are combined into one bet:
- Three single bets
- Three doubles
- One treble
You only need one winner to get a return, but you should be aware that the return might be less than your initial stake.

14:35 Haydock - Fillies Novice Stakes 6f - Stormy Impact
Liberalised is an interesting runner for Karl Burke. She won well on debut and looked like she would have more to offer. However, she has failed to build on that promising start and despite her being the highest rated runner here, I am not convinced. First Instinct is a nice filly for the Haggas team and she was really game to win on debut. She is the main danger in this field if she repeats that performance.
I feel the better option is
Stormy Impact
who has run well in defeat in both of her starts to date, and she has a very strong speed figure over this trip too. She debuted over six furlongs and made up ground late on, just getting denied at the line. She was dropped to five furlongs next time out and was narrowly beaten at short odds. The pair were clear of the field at the finish, and again, she did her best work late on.
The conditions look ideal for her, and she receives 6 lbs from her two main two rivals. I am expecting a big run from Stormy Impact.
14:45 Bangor-On-Dee - Handicap Hurdle 2m 4f - Bergentown
This Handicap Hurdle is a very open contest. Ten Ten Twenty offers the best form, after winning his last two starts. But he comes into this after a six-week break and has a 6lb rise to contend with too, which makes things more difficult.
I think it’s worth taking a chance on
Bergentown
here. He is a previous course and distance winner and catching him fresh could be wise. He won here last season off a mark 2 lb higher, and on that form he is competitive here. He had a 222-day break before returning to action at Worcester in June, where he finished a decent second.
He should be nice and fresh for this race, so now could be the perfect time to catch him. Assuming he comes here in peak form, there is every chance Bergentown will be in the mix.
17:20 Ascot - Sodexo Handicap 7f - Jimmy Speaking
The last race at Ascot is a really nice looking Handicap. Pedro Valentino has beaten a few of these runners already, and is sure to make his presence felt again. However, hismuch-increased mark gives me cause for concern, and his price is a little bit skinny on that basis. Zainabb definitely hasn’t shown us her best form so far. I’m sure the penny will drop for her sooner or later, but she is far from straightforward.
I am going to side with Chris Dwyer’s
Jimmy Speaking. This one loves the fast ground, and has clearly taken a liking to Ascot. He showed moderate form as a two-year-old, but has improved plenty a year on, and looks well worth a crack at this longer trip. He won both of his first two starts this season, before a lesser effort at Kempton. However, he returned to form last time out at Windsor, only finding one too good. He was ridden from the front, and stayed on really well only to be caught by a progressive sort in the final stages of the race.
He runs off a mark of 82, which is workable, and further progress could be on the cards as he steps up to seven furlongs. He is definitely worth chancing here.
