The Sky Blue bet

For those of you looking for a horse to back on Saturday afternoon, why not try one with a Sky Blue theme?

Vital Coventry has been scouring the runners and likes the look of Merry King in the 2:05 at Sandown given the return on Marlon King to the Ricoh Arena at around the same time.

The Sporting Life comments that ‘Jonjo O’Neill’s Merry King is chasing a hat-trick after wins at Leicester and Ffos Las.’

Last week’s Sky Blue bet Dan Breen was second at a healthy 18/1 for each-way backers.
