A very busy day's racing with some excellent cards across the country. Here are the thoughts of our Long Shot tipster.
York

Boardman maybe entering the twilight of his racing career, however he can still be a force in big handicaps and can add another win to his 8 so far in his career at York today. Boardman is a bit of a 7f specialist and a strong run race at this distance seems to bring the best out of him. He wasn't beaten far last time out at Chester and has no dropped to a handicap mark of 90, which is 13lb lower than his peak mark last season, so is now looking a very well handicapped horse indeed. Boardman rates a 3 star each way Pick.
