Get on this one at Thirsk….

Get six months of ATC membership at half price….

The flat season shifts up a gear this weekend….

…. with the Guineas meeting at Newmarket offering up high-quality betting races across Saturday & Sunday….

Of course, what we observe this Bank Holiday weekend serves as a mere aperitif….

…. whetting the appetite for the big summer of betting action that lies ahead….

That means multiple handicap betting heats every single weekend….

…. and unmissable action at midweek festivals at all the major tracks from May to October….

If you like the big-field handicaps….

…. if you like a bet at a price….

…. and if you like to make a few quid out of the game….

…. then ATC is very much the place to be

…. and right now you can get a season ticket for the entire flat season for a massive 50% discount….

Join me for the entire Flat season – just £60….

And let me be clear….

…. when you jump aboard ATC you join a service that makes handicap racing pay consistently – across the long-term….

…. an incontrovertible fact reflected in the bottom line profits ATC’s contrarian selections have produced for readers over time….

Backed 1pt e/w at advised prices (always easy to get) ATC picks are….

…. 77.7 points in profit since the turn of the year….

…. 182.5 points up since the start of 2025….

…. 321.1 points ahead since the start of 2024….

…. and 444.9 points to the good since the start of 2023….

…. which ain’t bad going – if I do say so myself….

I could go on….

…. ATC has been hard at work digging out BIG profits for handicap punters since way back in 2007….

…. but you get the picture….

Right now you can get an ATC season-ticket for the entire flat season….

…. running from the moment you sign up….

…. all the way through to Champions Day at Ascot in October….

…. for a one-off payment of just £60….

It’s the best value membership deal we offer….

…. and it won’t last long – so move quick if you want to take advantage….

Make a few quid this summer with ATC….

Moving on now to this week’s EXTRA bet….

-----

…. the Thirsk Hunt Cup – Thirsk – 2.40....

MIRSKY ran well in this race when debuting for David O’Meara back in 2024 off a mark of 98….

Of course, plenty of water has passed under the bridge since then….

…. but we do know that the 7yo appreciates a turning mile….

…. and it was the lack of a prep race that told against him on the day….

That won’t be a problem tomorrow….

He returned at Musselburgh earlier this month having not been seen since July last year….

…. and he produced an encouraging performance – looking as good as ever – beaten just under 3l in third and likely to come on for the run….

He was dropped a pound for that to 93 – and that’s a mark he can do business from….

He’s won at the track before, the quick ground will suit, and I reckon him a player at the general 10s….

-----

The EXTRA bet….

To recap on my bet for tomorrow….

In the 2.40 @ Thirsk….

  • Extra bet – MIRSKY (10s generally)

e/w terms = Sky Bet pay 5 places. It’s 4 places generally….

Advised prices are correct at the point of publication – but subject to fluctuation. Shop around – you may find better quotes and terms than advised….

-----

Like I say….

…. right now you can join ATC – for the whole of the flat season – for a one-off payment of just £60….

…. and it’s real value for money….

We’ve got the Guineas meeting this weekend – I’m having three bets on Saturday and another two on Sunday….

…. we’ve got Chester’s May meeting next week….

…. the week after that we’ve got a clutch of big handicaps to target at York’s Dante meeting….

…. followed by a massive Saturday at Newbury – where it’s high-quality handicaps galore….

…. and – when that’s all over – it’s still only mid-May and just two weeks into your season-long subscription….

This is by far the best time of the year for punters who like a bet at a price in the big handicaps….

…. and membership of ATCconsistently profitable in those betting races – is available right now at the basement price of just £60….

…. that’s 50% off the price of a standard month-to-month subscription across the same period….

It’s the best value price we offer and if ever you were going to take the plunge then now is the time to do it – that’s fact….

Take advantage for Guineas weekend….

-----

That’s all for today….
