Top tipster Andrew Mount enjoyed place returns from 50-1 shot Ventura Diamond and Ainsdale (25-1) on Saturday and has two bets at Longchamp on Sunday
MOJO STAR (3.05 Longchamp, 0.5pts each-way 50/1)
I couldn’t confidently rule out the market leaders – especially Hurricane Lane, who colleagues Daryl Carter and Kate Tracey made an excellent case for on GG’s Weekend Watch this week.
However, MOJO STAR was in front plenty soon enough when runner-up to that rival in the St Leger and I always upgrade those who run well under prominent tactics on the round course at Doncaster. He was also behind Hurricane Lane when fifth in the Irish Derby but was left with plenty to do that day and I’d rather back him each-way than the Godolphin runner to win.

NJORD (5.00 Longchamp, 1pt win 18/1 Betfred, 16/1 generally)
NJORD needs cut in the ground and is an autumn horse. Since gelded, his record in October reads 111 (3-3) and he ran a good prep at Leopardstown last time, finishing a close-up fourth in Group 2 company. The step back from 1m is a slight concern but there’s compensation in the price of about 14-1.
