Backing the new regime

Good morning all. I hope everyone's well and ready for another feast of racing action this weekend.

Unfortunately, I got off to a poor start this week with my tip Green Lagonda finishing third at Windsor on Monday. Those of you who were sensible enough to back it each-way would have made a small profit but now it's time to win some of my money back.

I'm going for a £20 win on Ancien Regime, ridden by Frankie (left), at odds of 5-1 to win the 2.10 at Sandown on Saturday and at the 3.55, I'll be placing a £10 each-way bet on Makaaseb at 10-1.

Good luck racing fans and I'll be back early next week with more tasty tips.

All-time record: Bets 50; Winners 14; Losers 35; Non-runners 1; Profit £400.68.
