Great to get the Portland winner at a big price on Saturday, disappointing the max ran badly after we told you the favourite was a bad price. Still a decent profit on the day, Rebecca Romero was given an absolute shocker by Eddie Ahern too. Wasn't a good week for the jockeys riding our horses.

One for today.

5.30 Wolverhampton Merchant's Return 1pt each-way AND 2pts win @ 20/1 (Generally, get guaranteed) - E/W 2nd

Represents a trainer who does well here. Has shown promise on his all weather starts, but looks around himself a bit when under pressure and has probably been inexperienced. A first time visor should help him focus, and a mark of OR50 along with a 3lb claim from Simon Pearce should see him get involved here in what looks a very poor contest. Looks too big at 20/1 and is the bet of the day to smallish stakes.

Profit & loss: day: +1.00 / month: -19.75 / year: -124.01
