Saturday 1st November

“£500 Challenge Bet” (£939 - 5 bets inplay – accounted)

Racing:
End of flat – start of jumps – you've been warned.

I'll keep it quiet.

2:05 Ascot.
A lot of these will be having preps, or simply be unfit. Similar to Roan Chase which made a fool of me so be careful. I think I'll play though as I like Air Force One, and a couple of the outsiders look too long, so we can build a reasonable portfolio.

2:20 Wetherby
We can dutch the front two here. If Theatre Belle is a non runner, this would move ideally to the barking bets fund.

I'll also play the scoop 6 and the probably easier to win jackpot, and doubles but won't bore you with the details.

Air Force One £8 at 11/4+
Out The Black £4 at 16/1+
Ontheother hand £1 win at 25/1+
£1 ew double County Zen and Out The Black
Dutch Blaeberrry and My Petra £15 at 4/6

Football.
Scunthorpe look just about undervalued but this might be the last time. Their main striker may be injured which has to be a worry, but I'm playing. The media have gone mad for 'Arry – the chiselling little crook certainly breeds confidence – but they were lucky to get anything from Arsenal and frankly Liverpool should be odds on here in a midfield mis-match.

Scunthorpe £15 win at 4/6
Liverpool £12.50 at 6/5
£2.50 6fold – Liverpool/Charlton/Ipswich/Leicester/Scunthorpe/Bolton

“Barking Bets” (Banked £1175/Current bank £3202)
12:40 Wetherby; and Ascot 2:40 and 3:10 possibles.
Ladbrokes going 1.46 Man Utd/Chelsea is also tempting, but I'll probably skip.
