Katies Tuitor is my Morning Line Charity Bet in the Paddy Power Imperial Cup and he should give a good account of himself back on his favoured ground, even with lumps of weight. Peter Toole his jockey, is in form, takes a valuable five pounds off Katies Tuitor. That’s the speculative each-way outsider, as for the win it should be Qaspal and by a long long way. AP McCoy getting down to 10-3, favourites have an amazing record and Phillip Hobbs should make amends for his previous 9 runners in the race not coming close. Make sure if you are having a bet you hunt out the bookmakers offering first five places.

 

In the first race I’m hoping Ranjobaie puts in a big show, second to Notus De La Tour at Plumpton, he then went on to win at Market Rasen. David Bass is another conditional jockey who is making a name for himself and his 7 pound allowance will make all the difference when trying to overcome Alfie Spinner.

 

Looking at the rest of the card Lifestyle stands out at 3.40pm but she is being backed and at the time of writing she’s 4-6 and could contract further.
