Matt first went racing in February 1982 at just 3 months old. Attracted to the sport by Desert Orchid in the late 80's, a media degree started a path to horse racing journalism. Owner of many horses and greyhounds through the years, the latter has led to the formation of the myracing greyhound syndicate, a Greyhound Writers Association membership as well as appearances on Racing Post Greyhound TV.

Tote Scoop 6 Tips
- 2.50 – Reshoun loves this race, winning it in 2018 and third last year. He is in career-best form in 2020 and can knock out a huge chunk of tickets in the very first leg.
- 3.05 – Cepheus is well thought of, beating a Group 3 winner on his only start as a juvenile and pitched into the 2000 Guineas on his return. This is his trip, value for more than at Goodwood last time.
- 3.25 – Art Power can show his Nunthorpe running to be all wrong back over this trip. His Irish Group 3 win came over six on soft ground so the return to these conditions will help.
- 3.40 – Spanish City will appreciate any drying of the ground and loves this track. He was third in the Wokingham over course and distance in June from the same mark, that sets the standard.
- 4.00 – Count D’Orsey tends to save his best efforts for this time of year. His last win came off this same mark on soft ground so it would be no surprise to see him back to his best.
- 4.15 – Fox Champion has actually run a little better than his final positions suggest this season. This mark would be very tempting on his 2019 best when a Group 2 winner.
