LAYS TARGET-200: If Daqman can score at his current rate – 10 lays in a row – he can break his record of 16 consecutive. He has a target of 20 before the season is over. That would net 200 points profit to 10-point stakes (£2,000 – £100).

BANKER UP: He landed his banker, Dabirsim (WON 1-2), and Elusive Kate (WON 39-10) at Longchamp yesterday, following Coupe De Ville (WON 8-1) on Saturday.

HOW THE 10 CAME ABOUT: Here’s a run-down of how Daqman tipped the 10 successful lays in a row, the last eight of them favourite. Watch for his lays from tomorrow; meanwhile, his selections for today are at the foot of the column.

* The Bells O Peover (unplaced 4-1 jt favourite), Ascot Sept 30
DAQMAN said: Has campaigned at a lower level until today. Stone last, beaten 56 lengths, yet is morning favourite.

* Cheveton (unplaced 5-1 favourite), Haydock Sept 24
DAQMAN said: I’m going to bet that Cheveton can’t pull off the same Ayr-Haydock double. He grabbed the first leg at Ayr but it needs to stay soft.

* Cill Rialaig (3rd 3-1 jt favourite), Newmarket Sept 22
DAQMAN said: I can’t see the favourite, Cill Rialaig, with Listed form of 0033 and six years old now.

* Waltzing Cat (unplaced 15-8 favourite), Kempton Sept 21
DAQMAN said: The favourite, Waltzing Cat, simply doesn’t have a turn of foot. Twice beaten favourite on today’s course.. how the Racing Post Spotlight can nap her, I know not.

* Half A Billion (3rd 7-4 favourite), Beverley Sept 20
No reason given

* Deliberation (unplaced 9-4 favourite), Hamilton Sept 18
DAQMAN said: No wonder they’re claiming off him: Deliberation is set to give 17lb to Unwrapt, though he beat that one three and a half lengths here. He must also give 12lb to I Got You Babe, a horse he beat little more than a length at Epsom. I can see Deliberation’s run coming to an end.

* Labarinto (unplaced 7-2 favourite), Newbury Sept 17
DAQMAN said: Labarinto is too short at 4.4. Concentrate on the high numbers.

* York Glory (unplaced 11-2 favourite), Doncaster Sept 10
* Zero Money (unplaced 7-1), Doncaster Sept 10
DAQMAN SAID: It will be a surprise if the firm-ground winner Zero Money can continue up the ladder at aged five (up a stone since July) when there’s give in the ground; and the placed horses in York Glory’s recent York success had won only one maiden between them.

* Catchanova (unplaced 4-1), Kempton Sept 7
DAQMAN said: Catchanova has won three times from five runs at the track but has a massive task against Kieren Fallon on Ferrucio, 12lb better off with that one for half a length.
