Major Lay tip to hand is RESONANCE/HRS LOST F/c 5/2 300 Stra.
Borderline, it seems to me. I've seen selections having more Support than this one has, certainly, but I prefer to see less. Also, there's a gap in the F/c odds between the 2nd and 3rd Favs which, on paper, makes it a 2-horse race potentially between the top two. That worries me. Not a lot needs to go wrong over obstacles for the lay to fail? (I have been caught this way before.) In any event, I seem to have lost confidence in this tipster's laying. I doubt I shall act. Wrong decision - slight regrets     [OVERALL N/A]
Major Win tip is TIGHE CASTER/LOST F/c 3/1 525 Kemp.
Very small Win, balance Place Only to total stakes of capped 20 points (i.e., halved from 40, as over obstacles) By mistake, I failed to get my Befair Place bet matched    [OVERALL -12]
Good words to hand on ONYERGO/2NDrun for money(Catt) This would be a "4321" bet (see Glossary) & Newm: SIR PERCY/Lost - KILLYBEGS/2ND - TRANCE/LOST - PRIME DEFENDER/LOST
Bet: Tiny win bet, Multiple EWDoubles on the Newm. runners + Ad hoc Xtras/1 & -/2   [OVERALL -2]
