BONUS FUND UP FOR GRABS
The Scoop6 is back on the roll-over train after there were no winners last week. The victory by Geos in the Tote Gold Trophy also meant that the Bonus fund eluded the 13 winners that were trying to win the £458,000 fund. With tomorrow's expected stakes, the win fund this week will be worth up to £200,000, which combined with the bonus fund means that a single winner can be in with a chance of winning up to £750,000.
This week the races are divided between Newcastle, Ascot and Wincanton and with plenty big name festival runners' using these as a warm up, interest is expected to be high. With short price favourites in leg's three and six punters will really fancy their chances of having a winning ticket. However, the remaining races are not as predictable and will prove difficult to call meaning that there is plenty to play for.
This week the Scoop6 is divided between Newcastle, Ascot and Wincanton.

JOSS NAYLOR OWNER CHARGED WITH LAYING OWN HORSE
Darren Mercer, the owner of Joss Naylor, has been notified by the Jockey Club that he will be required to attend a Disciplinary Panel enquiry in relation to possible breaches of Rule 247, the rule which stipulates that it is an offence for an owner, trainer or a member of stable staff to lay their own horses to lose.
Mercer is facing a charge that he committed breaches of Rule 247(iii) of the Rules of Racing in respect of his laying with Betfair a horse owned by himself, JOSS NAYLOR (IRE), to lose in the Coral Welsh National at Chepstow on December 27th.
The Jockey Club's Disciplinary Panel will also be presented with evidence suggesting that Mercer laid the horse when he would have been aware that it was no longer running in the race.
The enquiry follows an investigation by the Jockey Club's Security Department. A date for the hearing has not been set but it is hoped it will be held next month.
