Main Man McCoy on Tuesday
If your lucky number is 7 then the 7th of the 7th is a good day for you. Sadly though the racing on Tuesday can be nicely summed up as the famine before the feast that awaits us for the rest of the week. The July Cup meeting at Newmarket kicks off tomorrow, then it’s the John Smith’s Cup on Saturday.
It gets better from Wednesday, much better….
Just look at the race card on Wednesday at Newmarket!

Don’t blow your cash on the moderate cards on Tuesday! I will not be getting involved on the flat today but luckily there is a jumps card at Uttoxeter.
Over the Jumps..
Regular readers will know that the first thing I do is look at Tony McCoy’s mounts and he is at the Midlands course for three rides, the best of which is Charmahal (5.50) who I think has an excellent chance. Just beaten at Southwell the front two were some 10 lengths clear of the field a performance for which only a four pounds rise in the weights looks reasonable. On the down side he can be a tricky ride but we have McCoy on our side which is a huge positive and could well be the deciding factor.
Any Given Day (7.50) looks the banker of the day and is definitely one to double up with Charmahal. An easy course and distance winner last time the grey gelding should have no problems in conceding weight to all his novice rivals. The price may not be to everyone’s liking but I will be backing this one, on a day when lets be honest there is not much else to get involved with.
