Fri 7th Sept - racing and football

Newbury 2:55
Gulf Express 3/1
King Charles 4/1
Warm Embraces 11/2
Noticeable 9/1

The Stoute horse looks too short to me, given he's still a turf maiden. King Charles ran really well penultimate start at Newmarket and if you forgive him the going last time can be competitive despite topweight. Warm Embraces is notably weak this morning, possibly helped in part by Elsworth's poor form the last few weeks. I'll take some of the early 8s about him and then wait.

Newbury 3:30
Genki 2/1
Beaver Patrol 9/2
Barney McGrew 8/1
Greenslades 11/1

The bookies seem happy to field against the front two, though they look very solid to me. 50% the two looks right, and if one or both drifts too much I'll play.

Haydock 3:45
Malcheek 3/1
High Curragh 5/1
Ajigolo 6/1

Not much depth to this and Malcheek looks sold legititmate favourite. Could drift to a backable price as well (7/2+)

Millwall are attractively priced tonight for their trip to Brighton. Given they haven't scored away from home this season though, I think the Asians will be the way to go.
