Sporting Life's racing tipping team combined for a famous Saturday with multiple big-priced winners around the tracks.
Matt Brocklebank provided the final flourish with 16/1 Fiercely Proud taking the concluding Ladbrokes Handicap Hurdle at Ascot.
Ben Pauling's horse just got the verdict from Kabral Du Mathan, who fought gamely to extend his unbeaten run only to lose out by a short head.
It was Matt's third big Saturday winner in four weeks following those of Gemirande (11/1) and Navajoe Indy (16/1), taking his profit for 2024 past 133 points at an ROI of 42.37%.
Earlier, Ben Linfoot's Verdict proved bang on the money with headline selection Milldam, described as 'the bet of the day' by our form expert who backed up his view with 2pts win at 6/1.
Returned a 5/2 favourite, the gamble never really looked in doubt as Gavin Sheehan made every yard of the running aboard the top weight.
Back at Ascot, the Long Walk Hurdle went to Crambo, who had been advised on Tuesday in Andrew Asquith's Weekend View.
And all this after the Punting Pointers duo had kicked things off away from the ITV cameras with a 22/1 winner at Hereford.
Timeforarum held on by a neck on a day where the cards fell right for all of our regular tipping team, who will be back from Monday to cover a packed Christmas schedule.
