Join us for the Finale to the Sky Bet Sunday Series, great prize money on offer and the chance for connections to pick up valuable bonuses. Keith Dalgleish's team lead the standings to claim a £10,000 bonus prize for stable staff based upon overall performance across the seven fixtures. The prize, which is calculated on points earned for winners, second and thirds, sees Dalgleish's yard at the top of the list on 99 points, ahead of Tim Easterby on 85 and Charlie and Mark Johnston on 80.
Dalgleish's tally has been buoyed by the two successes of stayer Evaluation, who will claim a £100,000 bonus prize for connections if he is able to bag a third race in the series and is being aimed to run at this fixture.
With an additional bonus of £100,000 for any jockey who can ride seven winners across the series, time is running out for any rider who hopes to chase down that target. Clifford Lee, Jason Hart, and Sam James have each notched three victories so far.
