Friday and Saturday saw winners at 13/8, 2/1, 4/1, 5/1 and 16/1, although three selections beaten in photos on the final day prevented what could have been an outstanding end to what has been a memorable week for the sport.

Alan Kelly's Tips - Monday, 22 June
It's a case of after the Lord Mayor’s show on Monday with modest Flat action from the meetings at Catterick and Musselburgh in the afternoon and Windsor and Brighton in the evening.
The evening Irish card at Ballinrobe makes up the day’s five meetings.
2:30pm Catterick - Minzelle (Nap)
Adrian Paul Keatley’s Dandy Man filly Roots In Touche made an encouraging debut when beating all bar Richard & Peter Fahey’s Crystal Queen (beaten six lengths in last week’s Queen Mary at the royal meeting) in the valuable Hilary Needler at Beverley last month with some promising juvenile fillies behind.
The mount of Mikey Sheehy is sure to improve for that first run and looks sure to open her account before too long. Kevin Ryan's Sable Noir is bred to be fast and worth noting for any market confidence on her debut. However, the Karl Burke stable has an excellent bunch of two-year-olds this season and the Tony Bloom-owned MINZELLE (Nap) is clearly held in high regard.
Sent off at short odds to make a winning debut at Haydock last month, the daughter of Minzaal was too keen in the early stages of that maiden fillies’ stakes, weakening into third place when headed inside the final furlong. The winner, George Scott’s Sea Venture, finished an excellent sixth in last week’s Chesham, the daughter of Sea The Stars staying on to be beaten a little over three lengths behind Irish winner Nola Soul.
With that run under her belt, I expect Clifford Lee’s mount to prove too good for her 7 rivals at the North Yorkshire racecourse before attempting something a little more ambitious.
Recommendation: Minzelle (Nap)
3:00pm Catterick - Tees Aggregates
A winner over today’s course and distance with a rating of 66 thirteen months ago, this looks a good opportunity for Adrian Nicholls’ TEES AGGREGATES to record a fourth career victory off a mark only 2lb higher and with the services of talented 5lb claimer Jack Nicholls in the saddle.
Prior to that win last May, Tees Aggregates had gone down by a head in a 14-runner handicap at Catterick the previous month. While the Earthlight gelding has failed to trouble the judge in 7 attempts since running out a convincing winner at Beverley last summer, the four-year-old has been running well in defeat.
Ben Haslam’s joint top weight Wen Moon may just be in the grip of the handicapper at the moment, while Julie Camacho’s Polka was possibly flattered by her victory at Newcastle back in February, a race in which only half a length covered all four runners. A bigger danger to the selection may be the Tim Easterby-trained Albegone, who failed to get a clear run when beaten less than two lengths at Thirsk last week.
Recommendation: Tees Aggregates
7:17pm Windsor - Dream Composer
The Tony Carroll stable have been firing in the winners lately (6 from their last 12 as of Saturday lunchtime) and have an excellent chance of adding to that courtesy of the eight-year-old DREAM COMPOSER in this Windsor Sprint Series Qualifier.
Rated as high as 99 around this time last year when in the care of previous handler James Evans, the Dream Ahead gelding has run well on all three starts for Carroll, including when winning on his debut for the stable at Ripon in April.
An unlucky fourth in a 5f handicap at Goodwood last month (fellow rivals Glamorous Breeze and Nogo’s Dream third and fifth respectively) in a race where only a length covered the first five horses home. On his most recent start, Dougie Costello’s mount finished 7th of 20, beaten three lengths, in the Epsom Dash on Derby Day. Clearly in excellent heart at the moment and back down to a mark of 83, Dream Composer gets the vote ahead of Clive Cox’s lightly-raced Bassenthwaite and Ross Burdon’s recent course and distance winner Mesaafi.
Recommendation: Dream Composer
