Off to my local course Haydock Park this afternoon, I can't really find anything for a serious bet there so a couple of small wagers and a couple of cold beers will be the order of the day.

Down at Yarmouth I don't really fancy current favourite Al Azy for the apprentice race at 17:30. David Simcock's colt is an inconsistent sort and is probably better over further. At 3/1 I'll lay him to lose 18 points.

To try and squeeze a bit more out of the race I'm going to back Dobravany (7 points at 4/1 or better) and Clipperdown (6 points at 9/2 or better).

Al Azy; 1st
Profit / Loss; 0.00 points (lay unmatched)

Dobravany; Lost
Profit / Loss; -7.00 points

Clipperdown; 3rd
Profit / Loss; -6.00 points
