Follow The Money: Will Smad make us glad?

Smad Place (centre) is a warm order in the early trading

There's high-class racing at three of the UK's best tracks on a big Saturday of UK racing. We pick two backs and a lay from today's offering...

Follow The Money makes an early start today as we're recommending one in the 12:15 at Newmarket. No Truth finished last on debut, having walked out of the stalls, left detached, making headway at halfway only to weaken towards the end of the Rowley Mile. This was judged a satisfactory introduction by some who have backed her today, running against her own sex over a furlong less. She's available at 8.07/1 from 12.5n/a and victory would provide a nice farewell to Newmarket for Michael Hills, riding for his brother in this race.

Taquin Du Seuil has eased in the 14:00 Ascot market, from 2.3211/8 to 3.7511/4. His jockey has a perspective on this race, and believes that My Tent Or Yours, a prospect he has schooled at home, will take a lot of beating today. Another with a chance in this race is decent flat performer Chilberta King, and our lay has to concede 5lb to the rest of the field.

Smad Place has been backed in the 14:50 Wetherby, early offers around 3.02/1 may not be seen again before the off as he trades now at 2.546/4. This is a good race with some old favourites competing, but our selection's third in the World Hurdle is eye-catching since it was his first try over the 3 mile trip, and we're following the money for the new kid in the neighbourhood of staying hurdlers.
