Stephen Harris received a timely boost towards the end of the day at Sandown, with a surprise 8/1 victory on Toulson. The Horse Racing Editor for bettingexpert responded to SBC’s victory on Crowning Glory (7/2), by stretching ahead of the tournament hosts in second place.
They are now just 10.42 points behind the long term Tipster Challenge leaders, as Racing Post’s Graeme Rodway failed to contribute any points for the Guest team. It wasn’t much better for Timeform, who picked up just 0.91 points from 10/11 favourite Atty Persse.
