HOW do you beat the January blues by tipping horses on a racecourse?
Well, Kingsthorpe punter Neville Cory has the answer!
Sad syndrome is no problem to Cory, whose team Not Too Sad came up with the day’s best winner in the form of 14/1 shot Flaming Charmer.
The Colin Tizzard runner set his tilt at the £1,000 first prize alight by moving him into 19th place as we approach the halfway stage.
Not far behind in terms of SP was the 12/1 shot Ely Brown selected by Simple Minds, while Riches’ Floretunes are on a roll right now.
The husband and wife team of Steve Riches and Kate Williams have combined to notch three straight winners at 9/2, 6/1 and 5/1 which has catapulted them from 98th place into a challenging 12th.
On Saturday, tips can be made at Ascot, Haydock and Taunton.
