Sky Bet Go Racing In Yorkshire Charity Tipping Challenge:

Tim Easterby got off the mark and Alex Hammond seized top spot in the Sky Bet Go Racing In Yorkshire Tipping Challenge at Beverley on Monday.

The annual event started at Pontefract on Friday evening and runs through to York on Saturday week and features a host of top northern trainers alongside Oli Bell, Ed Chamberlin, Alex Hammond, Michael Shinners and the Sporting Life racing team.

Each person is given a £100 charity bet for the meeting with all winnings going to the New Beginnings racehorse rehoming charity. The winning tipster will also be given £5000 to donate to a charity of their choice.

Easterby selected his own horse, Mysteryofthesands, who won seven furlong handicap at a SP of 11/10 but star of the night was the Sky Sports Racing presenter who sided with 16/5 winner Without Flaw to return to the top of the table.
