especially the return of Gavin Lynch and our York preview. Andy Newton, George Gorman and I are going to take you through the best betting opportunities for the weekends racing. We're going to begin at Newbury for the High Clear Thoroughbred Racing Jeffrey Freer Stakes. The favourite has won seven of the last 10 runnings of this, including the last four. Pinhole for Rafe Beckett and Colin Keane is a pretty

short-price favorite. He has drifted a little bit since the betting opened 13-8 out to 15-8. Epic Poet, 3-1. Candleford, really high-class horse in his day, 5-1. Nighttime Dancer is out to sixes. Further, who's got form that ties in with him for Oshine Murphy and Andrew Boulding, 15-2, and Ambiente friendly, he was sent off joint second favourite for the Jobmont International this time a year ago. And now he's 10 to 1 for a group 3 over a mile 5 and a half furlongs. Dearie me, George Corman, let's start with you. Who do you think is going to win our first live race on Newbury? Yeah, look, I've got plenty of respect for Pim and Hall. obviously very very impressive for last day over a mile four in the first time, cheat pieces.

He was beaten on his two attempts at further than a mile four.

I think it was one mile five, one mile four and a half.

But obviously he didn't have the assistance of headgear.

So it was probably more that than not staying.

He's likely

raced enough to continue improving. But as you were saying earlier, further's form ties in very

closely to him pre-head gear. You'd have to say he's overpriced here on the basis of his fifth

in the chest of ours, where his half-length buying pinhole, and his half-length second in

the Queens vars, where he beats Scandinavia and pinhole. his half-length second in the Queens Fars where he beat

Scandinavia and pinhole. You'd have to give his last run. We finished last behind

Scandinavia, but he was in front plenty early enough, which generally hasn't been his running

style other than when winning his maiden, I think, which he was up against inferior-class forces,

so I had to make his own running.

I think there's also a chance to him a touch too soon after his royal escort exertions while he comes here fresh.

The prices, they're pretty closely matched, although I take the point of gear.

I'll just be inclined to have a small bet on further here.
