It was the same story as last week in the Tipster Challenge, as all four tipsters returned a pair of winners, with the Guest tipster taking victories at more profitable odds.
Steve Mullington’s final flourish took 888sport to a total of 5.58, leaving the Guests just 0.27 points behind long term leaders SBC News.
Timeform and bettingexpert continue to push hard in 3rd and 4th place, and chip away at the overall lead. In fact, if bettingexpert had tipped 14/1 Danceintothelight in the 3:25 they would have jumped right to the top of the leaderboard. No one is running away with this Tipster Challenge!
