Sky Bet hand punters extra double place offer

Sky Bet will be paying five places instead of four on the Scottish Grand National at Ayr and in the Spring Cup at Newbury. The online betting firm have installed Chicago Grey as their 5/1 favourite to give trainer Gordon Elliott more National glory in the Scottish equivalent. All eyes over at Newbury will be on Frankel who is a red hot 1/3 favourite to rubber stamp his Guineas claims with victory in the six-runner Greenham on his seasonal reappearance for Henry Cecil. However, the big betting race is the Spring Cup with Sky Bet paying five places and Saint Pierre, a winner of two of his three Polytrack starts for Luca Cumani, heads the market at 7/1 in a wide open renewal. Matt Doyle of Sky Bet said: "The extra place double header is in place on both sides of the border and each-way punters are spoilt for choice with us paying 5 places on the Scottish National and Spring Cup."
