i also made the mistake of not backing Tiger Roll. Schoolboy error of thinking that value can only be represented by longer odds. Evens was just about value against a field of mainly exposed horses.

You'd have done better putting custard on it.

Frodon and Bryony was my only winner, but yesterday highlighted again what I've been banging on about for years regarding searching out the offers and value. I got an early 7/1 about Frodon which was enough to put me in a small profit. I also backed Didero Vallis each way at 25/1 with a bookie who paid out on the first five. It finished fifth, so would have been a loser under normal terms.

Here are my picks for the final day:

1:30 Sir Erec
2:10 Sternrubin (e/w)
2:50 Salsaretta (e/w)
3:30 Native River
4:10 Road To Rome
4:50 Top Gamble (e/w)
5:30 Getareason (e/w)
