Morning everybody, after bagging a winner with my first selection of the day it all went downhill yesterday. Now it's a new month, a moth containing 3 of the seasons classics, there's certainly reason to be cheerful, and it's not raining, this is good. Anyway I better get on.

Good Morning, a blank yesterday. But admirable runs from horses that many wouldn't have given a chance, so I won't grumble. I have 4 today, all this evening, hopefully 1 or more can oblige.

BOUNTYBEAMADAM 555 LINGFIELD
Looked to be going the right way last year until bottoming out in a nursery, she's put back in maiden company today hopefully she had just had enough of last year, there's a couple nice bits of form in her line, a few winners have come out of her 2nd race and herself a close second to the useful Ollie Olga after that.

IF I WERE A BOY 710 WINDSOR
I'm not a fan normally of backing something to land back to back wins, but this one looks a generous price. Sure, she's out of the handicap, that outs her up 5lb for her last win when the hancicapper has only felt 1 is necessary. It's a big ask up in class, against some useful handicappers, the one thing I'm looking at is the physical weight 8-7, last time she carried as low as this she scooted up by 4 lengths Straws and grasping for some I guess but it could make a difference.

KINGLAMI 725 LINGFIELD
Backed into favourite to land C&D handicap under Richard Hughes on National day. This is up in class but handicap rise doesn't look harsh and as above the physical weight will be less. Silvestre De Sousa booked today is a big shout as I'm sure SDS could have got rides at Windsor had he wanted them, makes you wonder if they'd have gone for Hughsie again.

SCEPTICISM 755 LINFIELD
This one was a hard luck story last time out, a bold ride from Joe Fanning only to be collared right on the line. Silvestre De Sousa renews his partnership with Mark Johnston, going back a couple years that was really one to fear, hopefully he can go one better today, albeit at a shorter price.

That's it for me today. Best of luck, I'll be back tomorrow, happy punting

Morning all, it's been quite a struggle finding a bet this morning. I've got 3, 1 looks a pretty solid chance, the other 2 more speculative really. We'll see how it goes, I do have a bet in the spanish footy as well.

Morning, Flat breakeven yesterday to SP, it'll do, it's better than a loss. I've stepped up my filter a little as both winners had roughly the same profiles so would have qualified under todays rules. I have just 10 today on a very busy day of racing, but 10 is enough, right? Hopefully a couple, or more, can go in. There's no real science to this, a lot of it comes to gut instinct, some to luck, some people are bordering genius when it comes to picking the horses, me I like to be somewhat methodical about picking them. I have 2 bets for the tennis today, and then I'll put up my footy bets too.

Good Morning, and a very brilliant day yesterday, better than I ever could have hoped for. Backing singles only resulting in a return of more than double my outlay, for one days work that is decent! Also many thanks to those who got in touch regarding the results, it means a lot. Sometimes I think I sit here typing away to myself. Anyway, where we cannot sit and dwell on losing days much the same must be said about winning ones, and there is another days racing ahead of us. I have 14 I like today, plus 4 bets for the Tennis. Hopefully we can get somewhere near the results from yesterday, but just a small profit will do.

Morning, 2 abhorrent days leading into a weekend isn't really the biggest confidence boost, so much so that I've written my selections, not been entirely happy, so I've scrubbed them out and started again. I have a few today, there is a lot of racing. There are short ones, long ones and some in the middle. All should have a chance on comparable form, some will need a small improvement, and some will need to have trained on over the winter. I'm hopeful of a few winners, but then I always am. I'll jot them down.

Morning all, a very frustrating day yesterday. The only thing i managed to predict correctly was that Mr Fallon would be a no-show at Wolverhampton. Some interesting racing today, looks a puzzle in places and hopefully I can help you get some way to unlocking it. The is an estimated £1million jackpot tonight at Bath. Good Luck anyone having a go, I hope your pins are nice and sharp!
I'm taking a fair few to war today, hopefully some can come home. I'll bold type the ones I think are quite interesting.

Morning all, a poor day in truth yesterday with 4 winners but all of them short. Another decent day of racing. Despite only 4 turning up for the Craven. I fear my laid back approach to getting this blog written and posted has cost some of you as I have a big fancy for Midnight Chase, I posted this morning on twitter and at the time 12/1 was available, now he's as short as 5/1 in places!!! Apologies, although I do keep telling you all to get on twitter, besides me there are plenty of knowledgable folk who can direct you to the winning horses, I can point you in the right direction of these. Anyway Midnight Chase aside, I very much like Johnnie Skull in the last at Wolves tonight, looks on a very workable mark and Fallon, if he turns up, is an eyecatching booking. I'll tap out my bets now, hopefully we can find some good winners.

Morning all, A scraped profit yesterday, I think it was 87p backing to a level £! Although I suppose if you were backing £20 a race, you'd have finished the day £17 in profit, that would have paid for a pizza and a couple beers? Anyway, only 8 today, a pretty poor day of racing really. Kempton and Exeter probably hold their own with a couple decent events, I guess. One word of warning when backing at Kempton is that Ruby Walsh doesn't cross the sea on a Tuesday for the weather and Fish n Chips, although that said, I've taken on the one that he's most likely here to ride!!! Anyway here's my 8.

Morning, Bad day at the office yesterday, it happens. I'm going back to my roots and finding the better prices, it makes me feel better. Getting over half your picks as winners is okay, but not if you don't get rich from it. Obviously law of averages suggests that less of these will win than we have been seeing, going into the weekend. But we won't need as many to regroup stakes. Capiche. So I'll jot them down and then we can sit back this afternoon and hope for the best.

Morning all, A little better yesterday with 4 winners from the 12 selections provided. Pretty much a breakeven day, dependant on the prices obtained, it ended up 25p to level £ short at SP. I only have 9 today, again like yesterday they are all reasonably fancied but I'm taking some time simplifying my system and looking for winners, once I'm back where I need to be I will have time to find the bigger prices again. Watch out on twitter, not today I'm busy, but over the next week or so because I will be posting the big price horses that have come to my attention. Anyway here are some horses for consideration today. Oh and hopefully you all took note of my 2yo to follow yesterday. :-)

The newcomer in the race I like is LIVIA DRUSILLA, she looks well bred with plenty black type down her female line.

Morning. So, I'm sitting here this morning, I've picked my horses, entered tipping competitions, placed my bets, and I'm thinking "feels like I've forgotten something". So I make a coffee and it dawns on me, I haven't written my blog! I'm going to stick up more than one in the odd race here and there for a little while. I'll explain why. Basically I use one system to shortlist my horses, which can give me anywhere between 1 a race or I got 14 in the National on Saturday. I then have to pick which of the shortlisted horses I'm going to bet on, sometimes more than one still fits the criteria I'm looking for. So I pick the one I'm most comfortable with.....you can all see where this is going. So I'm just going to test the water and see how it goes. My stats are pretty transparent, if I make a loss I tell you, and I shout loud and proud when I make a profit. I completely forgot to put up my 2yo to follow yesterday, I won't tell you what it was or how it done,that would be aftertiming, but I will put it up next time it runs. I don't have any of the newcomers I like today. Right I'll give you my selections and we'll see how we go.

Saturday 6-4-13 GRAND NATIONAL DAY

I might as well start by giving my 5 against the field in the big one. It looks such an open race I wouldn't try put you off backing what you fancy, lets just hope they all get home safe and sound this year. I like 2 above the rest then I just have 3 each way speculations to try and nick a spot. If you're a seasoned bettor then look out for the online firms offering extra place terms, if you don't really know what you are doing then pop down to your local bookie and they will be happy to help you, and if they aren't too busy you may even get a free cuppa and a biscuit.

TEA FOR THREE and ALWAYS WAINING are my main tips, Anything that pushes Rebecca Curtis onto the TV screen is a good thing, but seriously though T4T is a horse I like a lot, he stays all day and jumps well, which is what you are looking for really, AW loves these fences and this course, will he get the trip? Who Knows? For me at least half of his 33/1 quote says he doesn't, so if he does you've got 33s for a horse that would be around 10-16 over an evidenced trip. I've also done AURORAS ENCORE, MUMBLES HEAD and SOLL.

Better be quick now cos I have to get to work.

Morning all, a couple of winners yesterday kept us floating, albeit for a small loss. Although I did have Battlegroup written down and then defected to Many Clouds at the last minute, so an epic fail for me there. I'll just pop in a couple of titbits today regarding my selections, hopefully we can find a few winners today.

AINTREE

230 THIRD INTENTION - Wasn't disgraced over this trip on heavy ground, decent place claims
305 CUE CARD - His sort of trip and will make bold bid from front, decent price in strong race
415 YES YOU CAN - Trip doesn't look beyond him, market rivals all ran at Cheltenham
450 COTTON MILL - Should come back to best on better ground

DUNDALK

650 MY RULES - Encountered smart sorts in maidens, mile found her out last time
820 GALE FORCE TEN - Class animal in race, price might be boosted by yard poor showing in week

LEICESTER

220 SCARGILL - Eyecatcher on debut, ran on well after very green at start.
330 EL MANATI - Progressive filly and yard can get one ready fresh. JND the danger.
440 DALAWAY - Well bred filly who never gave as a 2yo, if trained on to potential could be big price

WOLVERHAMPTON

555 SAND GROUSE - Been collared for the win last twice, Kirby booked today I fancy her to get home
630 PRIME EXHIBIT - Has the edge on the weights, Track and Trip will suit.

Good Luck and Happy Punting

Morning, after what can only be described as a few days of sheer madness, I'm going back to limited selections. I have just 3 that I think could run a decent race at sensible prices. I can't type too much though as there's a baby in my lap so I'm having to do it 1 handed. I also have 2 bets for the tennis.

Morning all, unfortunately I can't pass yesterday's blog off as an elaborate April Fool! It was a shocker. Although lots of places as per, so it's narrow margins making all the difference. Only 11 horses today so much less to worry about, I only need 2 of them to oblige to improve on yesterdays Strike Rate and it's impossible to have a worse LSP than yesterday, all positive notes.
