Good Morning

On to the Mentions Logic-:

I have been asked by a few to define a "mention" as opposed to a tip. I would best explain that a TIP is a selection about which rightly
or wrongly we have 100% confidence and therefore a bigger stake. A mention is one we feel strongly enough about to have a smaller
punt, but don't want to miss it altogether. In terms of "Betting Banks" again a few questions and I would suggest that you either (a)
simply stake to points as advised or (b) and this may suit some who want clearer definition is to break off a small "sub bank" of your

main Betting Bank to better define and understand how tips perform v mentions.

We are (from 23rd April) now formally proofing "mentions" on Racing Index, tips will still be proofed by individual Tipster and an amalgamation
of all those individual tips under Daily Tips banner, so we will now have a real comparison between  individual Tipsters; overall Tips and 

Mentions, and as the summer progresses, it will be interesting to see how they pan out.

The mentions at BEVERLEY are the aforementioned JOHN CAESER in the 3.45; a Course winner who is race fit a tad out of the weights
but the race fitness should compensate for that and has won here in a Class 6 off a mark of 53 so not one to pass over. In the 4.20 the
one to note is INFLEXIBALL also on a nice mark; had a spin not too long ago on the AW so has a fitness advantage has been a winner

and placed off marks in mid to high 50's and runs off 59 here in a potentially nice stall No 4 - worth a small punt.

At Warwick; whilst MYSTICAL CLOUDS should win the opener, any number come with potential; a host have had wind op's
and the likes of Earlshill; Indirocco; Judge John Deed and Stormy Milan will be ones to follow next season for sure. I do think 
though that TULANGI has a place chance here following a good debut at Ascot it hated mud at Exeter and with the yard coming in
to some better form it looks each way value at 8/1. The one outsider to really watch is SCOTSHILL its P2P debut saw it fall when
only 4/1 in a race won by Getabird!; has had some niggles since but ran better than bare form suggests last time and one to note.

I would have 1/4 point on the Hobbs horse, and may be just a bit of shrapnel on Jonjo's.

In the 3.55 BENEAGLES and SALAMAZAR from the King yard both look worth a small poke on better Going.
A few races look Tricast material if you want to play - in the 2 Beverley races add Metronomic and Vigee L Brun respectively
to the Tips and Mentions named above in those races.
