Good Morning all, I hope you all had a decent time of it last night and aren't too ill-effected to have a crack at the bookies today. A clean slate today. I have 9 bets, which doesn't seem a lot in the grand scheme. Hopefully the frugul-ness will result in a decent profit for the day. We'll see.

Morning all, it was a tough weekend but the lack of tips, I think, suggested it would be as so. I have 9 suggestions for the last day of 2012, I have a new betting bank start tomorrow so I've just split all available funds across them, with a bit of luck they'll pay for a takeaway and a bottle of champers for tonight! Hope you all have a good evening however you choose to see in the new year, and aren't to hanging to come back and check out my first tips for 2013.

Morning all, are we all refreshed from Christmas day now, I'll be honest my diet of Cider, Baileys, Chocolate , Nuts and Sausage Rolls probably isn't going to keep the middle aged spread at bay for much longer! Yesterday was tough, but we always knew it was going to be. A few winners and lots of places showing that at least I knocked on the door. Just 16 today on another busy day with quality racing both sides of the Irish Sea. 5 winners again today would be great.

Morning, yesterday was interesting. I couldn't get near a thing and then, bang, 25/1 and 11/1 winners respectively. That puts the blog in profit this month. Which is nice. Just 2 from Thurles for me.

130 JOXER
230 TROUBLED

On weights/ratings Joxer has 3lb to find with Midnight Game, however they did finish 1/2 length apart boxing day last year and there is now a 10lb swing in our favour. Troubled can win this if he can refind form from the back end of last season, disappointed on 2 starts in October but hopefully they've found what was wrong  during his recent small sabatical.

Nothing left to say but thank you for reading the blog all year, amd wishing you and your families a very merry christmas and a prosperous new year. I'll be back Wednesday with a fair few bets no doubt.

Good Luck and Happy Punting

Saturday 22-12-12

Morning all, and unsurprisingly we are still here. I have 16 main bets today, plus plenty of savers that popped up in the system. I'll tweet my savers when i have time, it would be far too confusing to put them on here. I'm just going to have to list them as time is getting the better of me this morning. Hopefully we'll get a great day of racing ahead and maybe some clues for the shaken up World Hurdle.

Morning all, despite the selections becoming decimated by the inclement weather around the country yesterday, 6 went to post. 2 of which won, at 20/1 + 6/1 respectively. This was a very pleasing result, and has given me another small tweak to my system. Today looks pretty tough and I have just 4 on the AW this evening to put up, plus a pretty obvious but, in my opinion, secure forecast bet at Ascot.

230 ASCOT

SIMONSIG to beat ACT OF KALANISI
Top, top, top novice hurdler Simonsig makes his chase debut today, every inch of this horse looks a potential chaser. The big grey travels beautifully through his races and, as the odds suggest, should really encounter zero problem here. AOK is the obvious forecast, and rightly so. He was in with a chance over C&D 3 starts ago before late jumping errors cost him the race, he made amends next time with a commanding win at Leicester, and wasn't disgraced lto within 10 lengths of Captain Conan, his best chance is to run his own race and not to try and beat Simonsig. You should get around even money for the FC provided Dare Me doesn't attract any interest at all in the ring and drifts out markedly.

Morning all, a very nice return of 6 winners from 11 runners yesterday has pushed the SR to over 25%, still a small deficit, but nothing a good weekend won't fix, just as long as I can keep the ship steady in the meantime. I have 10 for today, a couple shot, a couple big and a few in between. Hopefully we can have half as good a day as yesterday. The 29/1 treble at Ffos Las was certainly the highlight, (disclaimer: I did not back the treble, neither did I advise it, but the newspaper tipsters get 3 out of 8 and claim the treble so I believe I've every right after getting 3 out of 3)

Morning all, a poor day yesterday, but then I wasn't expecting anything really so to get 1 winner was decent enough. I'm putting up a few more today, spread my bet parameters a little. I back level stakes and gently anyway so it doesn't really matter to me how many I back. Obviously make sure you have a look yourself before following any tip. Where I can I will add some reasoning but a often time is against me. Anyway here are todays bets.

Morning all, it's a funny day, some great racing and I'm keeping it mostly as a watching brief. Especially with the ground likely to be pretty poor. I've got 7 of today's system horses that have come up as bets. One is a little leftfield but if it scores we'll be sorted for a week! I'll crack on because the kids have been up since 6 and are starting to grizzle for their breakfast, probably excited that the christmas tree is going up today.

Morning people, a blank yesterday. It's tough this time of year really. We'll try again today, but I only have 2 to share with you, in the first 2 races at Gowran Park. So it's an early finish.

1235 SOUTH SOUTH WEST
Ran a big race behind the very good Our Conor(some way behind) in a much better race than this last time, lots of unknowns here but this one has best known form so worth a play at forecast prices.

105 GOODOLDHONKYTONK
Decent bumper debut, but poor beaten favourite on second start. Makes hurdling bow today under the very capable Andrew Lynch.

Morning all, no luck with just the 1 bet yesterday. I have 7 today. Not much value around to be fair, in my opinion, so we'll just see how we get on. I'll just crack on so that I can away to find somehow to warm up, it's very cold this morning.

Morning all, sorry i forgot to post yesterday, you didn't miss a lot, i had 3 bets, 1 of which won at SP of 5/2 so you'd have made 50p per £ level stake. Today I only have 1 bet.

ROGUE REPORTER 100 LINGFIELD
2 decent runs on the AW last month, last one can be forgiven imo as was an apprentice race and sometimes riders are more important than form in those. Needs to step up a little but booking of Jamie Spencer sticks out a little. Although Jamie often picks up rides for this yard this is the first time he has ridden this horse. A double yesterday pushed Spencer up to a 31%SR in the last fortnight and with a man like that on form, this horse has every chance. I think he'll be suited by the trademark late dash from Spencer just as long as they dont let one get an easy first run as front runners are proving pretty tough to draw in at Lingfield of late. Hopefully he can win and we can move on to tomorrow with a couple more pound in the coffers.

Good Luck and Happy Punting

Saturday 8-12-12

Morning, yesterday wasn't great, but a 30% SR, and a couple of points under papered the cracks. I've picked out a lot today, 28 in fact. I'm looking for an optimistic 9 winners to maintain the blog's SR. And of course a small profit would be nice also. Any highlights today? Well the showdown between Sprinter Sacre and Santuaire. You couldn't get 2 more different nags, one is a raving lunatic who will likely charge at every fence like he's leading the light brigade, the other sits on the bridle like he's just having a gallop through his field admiring the scenery. This will be a very interesting race, and the big question is can Sanctuaire get Sprinter Sacre off the bridle? I think when you are questioning just whether a horse will have to put in an effort then you probably already know the winner, and I guess the odds suggest that. An intersting one in the 1245 Wetherby is Viva Colonia. The tissue on RP online is 8/1 and I think was trading about 7.6 on Betfair when I looked earlier, now on achieved form this is too big as he was as good, if not better, than the leading lights in this race on his hurdle form. This is his chase debut and he hasn't been seen since being outclassed in last years Ladbroke Hurdle (17-12-11) but at 7-8/1 is surely worth a play on value terms. Right I'll pop down my potential winners now. Always have a look at the cards yourselves before placing a bet, but hopefully I can give you some ideas.

Sunday 2-12-12

Well, that wasn't quite the start of the month that I was had envisaged. Although it would have been much different if Present To You (beaten a hd @14/1) had held on. Never mind, today is a new day. Big Bucks was great, and I did give you the forecast there. Also the 1st 2 in the Hennessey were all in the 6 I pointed out so my system isn't entirely fractured. I was watching closely yesterday and I think I've learnt a few new tricks which have been added in today. A quality card awaits at Fairyhouse, and it's very difficult to look past Willie Mullins who has over 50% SR in the last fortnight. I'll have a little look at the races for you as, everyone in my house is still asleep, I've a bit of time. Then I'll pop up some selections at the 2 English meetings, pretty much just alert horses who have a chance, although I did rate 1 race over here. I'll jst nip to make a coffee then I'll crack on.

FAIRYHOUSE

1235 JUVENILE HURDLE

Favourite Our Conor beat a pretty ordinary field on debut in this sphere and for me is too short based on that. He went off incredibly short that day and was a fair performer on the flat, so I'm not saying he's a bad horse, just I'm happy to take him on at the prices. Dayrina needs some to find on OC but did improve for the run. I still have him some way off here though. South South West has been kept going all summer and has won over hurdles, on flat and the all weather in the last 3 months, that's pretty impressive achievment and more importantly shrewd placement from connections. The jockey booking of Paul Townend jumps off the page here too and would be well worth a play at the price. Stocktons Wing came on for his debut in this sphere by landing second time out. He'll love the cut in the ground and is a huge player here. But my selection rests with BROG DEAS. Technically he has a bit to find with a formline running through Everything Zain, but that was his debut and he did improve for his second run. He won't be hindered by the soft ground and at a current best 5.5 (9/2) he looks to be value to me. So get your money on and if he wins perhaps you could treat the missus to some Brog Deas, she'd be chuffed.

105 GRADE 1 NOVICE HURDLE

For a Grade 1 this doesn't look much competition for me. I like Jessie Harrington's Jezki, but I don't think he's in the same class as CHAMPAGNE FEVER. I could be wrong, I quite often am. The bookies have Minsk close up too, but I think he wants further than this, the ground should make it a test but still I see the main 2 being involved. The selection is looking for a 5th successive win and the others will have to bring something special to the table to prevent that. Willie Mullins second horse Zuzka looks overpriced, it's a big step up for her, but she gets a bit of weight of the boys and that could tell in this ground. We'll see.

135 GRADE 1 NOVICE CHASE

A 2/3 horse race. Buckers Bridge has done what he's needed to date, with little fuss, but a step up is needed today. Arvika Legionairre has walked over weaker fields the last twice, coupled with minor franking of that form and the yard form he has to be taken very seriously. My money, however, rests with the favourite. DEDIGOUT hails from the yard that won this race last year, he was a top, top hurdler last year and made absolute mincemeat of his rivals on debut in this code. I can see this horse getting to the top of the chasing game too and looks a fair bet at odds against here.

205 HANDICAP CHASE

A competitive handicap, my top 3 are
OUR GIRL SALLEY, Rising Time, Quiet Thought
The selection comes back down in class after finding one far too good last time out, she has 3lb back from her qtr length conquerer 2 starts ago and looks to have a decent opening here.

240 GRADE 1 HATTONS GRACE HURDLE

Another 2 horse race, the super mare Voler La Vedette and her Galmoy hurdle conquerer from January ZAIDPOUR . VLV has a bit to prove here after a poor show by her lofty standards on reappearance, but she's not getting younger, she may well have just needed the run. Both horses won't be too worried about the ground, and there really isn't a lot between them. If VLV does run as poor as last time then the selection will have an easy time of it, but if she runs to her best then it will be a very close thing, the jockeys will be crucial and with as little disrespect to Andrew Lynch as possible, because I think him a very capable pilot, he's no Ruby Walsh. The jockey, stable, head 2 heads and value all point to Zaidpour in my opinion.

310 HANDICAP CHASE

Another cracking betting event, my top 3 are
GIVE US A HAND, Murchu, Tarquinius
My selection is weighted pretty highly on the jockey, and the fact that he should, if everything goes to plan, be chasing a treble here. The ground may be slightly against the selection here, but Ruby gave him a decent ride last time they worked together and that run suggested the step up in trip would suit. It hasn't to date but I'm guessing that's why they jumped at the chance to book up Ruby again.

I'll tweet my NFL bets at sometime before 6pm

Saturday 1-12-12

Good morning and good riddance to November. Big losses for the blog last month, nearly 2pts a day overall. Hopefully December will be better. I learnt some tweaks for my new system yesterday and will probably learn some more today. I've got 11 bets for today, hopefully we can land one or two. Well 10 really, I've just chucked Big Bucks in for a SR boost. (Every little helps), but if you're interested Reve De Sivola came second to BB in my system so that's the advised forecast play. Another one I'm really interested in that came out top rated for me today is Slievardaghin the 120 at Fairyhouse. This horse has some pretty solid form down the lines and looks overpriced at double figure odds, albeit in a pretty competitive race. I posted my top 4 rated for the Hennessey on Twitter this morning, for those that didn't see it my top 6 were,
Diamond Harry, Alfie Spinner, Bobs Worth, Harry the Viking, Tidal Bay, Duke of Lucca. So I'm hoping the winner comes from them, or I've some serious work to do. I'll tweet my footy bets later, if you don't follow me on twitter, why not?, it's @GSPCECOYS, no prizes for guessing what the letters stand for, it's pretty easy if you know me well enough. So that's that. Oh and happy Big Bucks day. *excited face*, by far my favourite horse in training, and pound for pound the best in my opinion. You can keep your Frankel and his 125k sperms. Right onto the selections.

Morning all, the final day of a difficult month has arrived. I'll be honest, I'm more disappointed with the SR being below 20% than the financial loss. That being said no-one really enjoys losing money do they? I'm a have to be quick this morning, I'll try and have a more rabbity blog during the week. I've trialled a new system today, I've done 6 races at Newbury, and then just chucked a bet on a couple of notebook horses. Beware though they've had plenty of chances yet.

My bet of the day is PORT VALE, they have a good record at Aldershot, they've won 5 and drawn 2 of their last 8 games away from home, whereby their opponents have any managed 1 win in their last 8 at home. Pinaacle edge top price with a 2.21, but widely available on the high street at 2.2 (6/5)

BTTS,
9 games today, I have a few combinations of 4's and 5's and the 9 itself (not all combinations of 4's and 5's, that would be very expensive!)

Morning all, an absolute disaster for the blog yesterday. A few places at decent prices for you each way players out there but not a single winner. A bit of a shit really. I'll try a bit harder today!

CHELTENHAM

250 THE RACING POST HURDLE
A pretty competitve renewal, it doesn't look as though the AP favourite Darlan will run, some sites still have as a runner, some say not, it's Sunday am I'll let them off. I'm taking 3 against the field, hopefully one of them can land, and with 22 in the field at present we should comfortably get a 4 place payout if playing each way. Firstly Paul Nicholls PROSPECT WELLS, he pushed the very classy Zarkandar all the way to the line last week, this may come too soon but i think that run merits more than the 146 he still shoulders and with the very useful Harry Derham taking off 7lb,. (how does he still claim 7?) he looks very well in in 100%. The Nicholls/Derham partnership won this race with a prospect last year so know what it takes. Next I've gone with TED SPREAD, again from the Nicholls yard and arguably 1st string in some minds regards jockey bookings. Found out a little at this level back end of last season, was poor first outing this but perhaps needed the run. The handicapper appears to be relenting and he could be a big player today. Thirdly I'm putting up OLOFI. 2nd in this race on seasonal reappearance last year. That was his best run all season, but arguably going well when fell next time out, he also got within 5 lengths of Zarkandar, which could leave him a little short here but I'm taking a chance that he may have come on. One I did also like was Gordon Elliot's Cause of Causes, but I think he'll have a lot to do with a penalty in this classy field.

The rest of my bets today.

Morning all, Bangor wasn't my friend yesterday, nothing placed for me there. Everywhere else, however, my selections finished 1st or 2nd! Not bad at all. So onto today and the last day of mediocre before a fantastic weekend of racing, most notably from the November meeting at Cheltenham. I'll put up my Jumps 10-to-Follow, I have just entered 2 teams this year so I'll pop them both up at some point today or tomorrow.
Zarzal is out today after a below par run on reappearance, i fancy him to do much better, also Allee Garde interests me after a long rest, one that didn't make the system but I'm watching with interest is Hatters River on handicap debut, up in trip in the opener at Taunton, I feel this one outran his odds every start last season and is worth a run.

Morning all, well our one bet yesterday fell by the wayside. Fortunately it's a better day today. A couple of interesting sorts going out, a couple that really interest me are Take Two, making his debut over hurdles, he was a very strong traveller on the flat and could well take to this sphere, and Torn Asunder stepping up in trip.

Very quick one today, just one bet, it's not favourite, it should be.

DE FAIOTHESDREAM 1250 SEDGEFIELD

If you go solely on ratings this one has 11lb in hand on his closest rival. Tekthelot only gets 4lb back from the thrashing he got from the selection in May. This is a big drop in class from his last run. Well worth at least backing into favourite, in my opinion.

Whatever you do today, tread careful, good luck and happy punting.

Monday 12-11-12

Not the best day yesterday profit wise but the SR is creeping up, today looks very mucky and I've just picked out 5 that in my opinion are worthy of their short prices. It's the best i can offer today I'm afraid, hopefully tomorrow will look a bit better.

CARLISLE

225 CAPPA BLEU (NAP)
This horse sets the standard in this race, 3rd in the Welsh National, 4th in the Aintree Grand National. He won a better race than this on his November seasonal bow last year.
330 JET MASTER
This one was a frustrating hurdler to follow, form looks like a little family of ducks out for a swim. Makes chasing bow today under the exceptional Lucy Alexander. On hurdles form he has the beating of these.

SOUTHWELL

145 MAKARI
This one looked a useful prospect last month on first spin for Henderson. This race, however, could be just as tough so will need to show at least the same or better. NH won this race last year.

350 BALLYALTON
Point to point winner before landing back to back bumper successes. Signs suggest he could be useful.

LIMERICK

235 SIR HARRY CASH
Another frustrating hurdler but has the ability in there. This is quite an open race in truth with plenty of unknowns, but he was sent off a short fav for 3 of his last 4 starts over hurdles so someone likes his ability and to make the switch to fences is interesting.

Good Luck (you might need it today) and Happy Punting

Sunday 11-11-12 #lestweforget

Morning all, if today turns out half as well as yesterday I will be very happy indeed, yesterday was a ridiculous day for me, you can see my horses for yourselves on here, i also landed BTTS bets and had a cheeky punt on Man Utd at 8.4 when they went 2-0 down. I have to be quick today as running out of time but I'll try and tweet some thoughts later.

Morning all, we are truly on a bad run of things at the moment. Judging by twitter I guess I'm not the only one but that doesn't make it okay. I've 18 more wannabes today, some at attractive prices. I'll jot down a few positives today for information and then it's sit back, wait and enjoy time. The racing looks very good today, hopefully it will prove to be.

SANDOWN

145 LAMPS
Won fresh on November reappearance last year.
225 TOP SMART
Looked very impressive on chase debut, second that day won next two starts.
300 ONE TERM
4/5 at this trip, cheekpieces applied first time today.
335 IMPERIAL CIRCUS
On good mark if bringing his hurdles form, looked to need run last time
405 WYCHWOODS BROOK
Big price second last time, winners have come from race. Excellent jockey booking if they want to use this geldings stamina and make the race.

DONCASTER

125 IZZY BOY
On the form of his second run he is on an excellent mark here, ignore last run in mud.
235 BLUE SURF
Progressive gelding (will need to again), eyecatching jockey booking.
310 PLACE IN MY HEART
Looking back through jockey bookings, connections think something of this filly, she weight just have enough weight allowance here to make herself known.
345 WELL PAINTED
Won maiden well enough followed by a big run on second start. Stayed on well into top half of field in much better race last time, will be big player here.

KELSO

1225 GREEN FLAG
Left 2 hundred rated hurdlers in his dust last time, this is tougher but he should relish the trip and plenty suggests much more to come from him this year.
130 WHAT A STEEL
Won on his only completed start here, needs to be at the races but if he is then he can get involved
205 KNOCKARA BEAU
3/5 here. Was a big price danger in last seasons Cheltenham Gold Cup and sent off 11/1 of 8lb higher in the Scottish National. Jumping errors cost last time but much smaller field could waylay them.
240 DE BOITRON
There's a funny thing happening this November, Ferdy Murphy horses are actually winning! Frustrating to follow but pushed a very progressive sort the distance back end of last year.

WINCANTON

140 MISS MILBOURNE
Good solid run when fresh last time out and a progression of that will certainly put her in the mix.

250 ZARKANDAR (NAP)
Was unbeaten until getting caught out by the pace in Champion Hurdle, then a fall took him out at Aintree when going well. In my opinion jockey bookings here have more to do with connections than the horses. This guy is the class act in this race, vulnerable to progressive sorts perhaps but nothing to suggest he won't have come on himself.

325 AIMIGAYLE
Solid dual purpose performer, placed at least 18 times, more than 50% of starts. Some good animals here but her 4th in the Topham Chase gives her every right to line up.

NAAS

135 MAKE A TRACK
Won 3 times on similar ground, decent traveller could make a nice chaser.

320 THE MULL
Looks to be on a reasonable mark for handicap debut, competitive throughout a hunter chase campaign last term and should get involved today.

Good Luck and Happy Punting

Friday 9-11-12

Another losing Saturday, once again a frustrating one though with 8 places, a few at prices too including a 16/1 shot second. We also had a 20/1 shot moving to lead before clattering the second last fence! Either of these would have secured a profit yesterday but alas it wasn't to be. I have 15 today, hoping for 4-5 winners at least. The best faye is to be found the other side of the Irish sea and most of my selections come from there.

Target to increase SR today is 5 winners hopefully we can get that and perhaps even more. Some excellent racing today. With a few horses i'm looking forward to seeing on their returns today. I'll get into it because the kids are moaning that they want breakfast.

Morning all, well yesterday the 1pt selections saved the blushes of the 2pt fancies. I've quite a lot of bets today, I've done some for tonights breeders cup action too, but those won't be counted in the stats as I've done minimal study. I'm setting a target of 6 winners today (in the GB/IRE racing) that will be enough to lift the SR, hopefully more. Best of luck if you follow or even if not.

Morning all, a very good day yesterday, we'll stick to the same style today, 2pt and 1pt bets, hopefully we can have half as good a day as yesterday. Target for today is 4-5 winners. I've set the target as 20% but if we exceed that the target will be to improve the SR daily. It counts for little really it's just a bit of fun. Anyways here are my bets for today.

Well, after a positive start yesterday, a few places and a 9/2 winner, we had to sit and suffer the rest of a tricky day! Hoping for a bit better today, we'll have to see what happens. I've a fair few to put up. 18 in exact, I'll set a target of 4-5 winners. Fingers crossed.

Morning all, a much much much much better day yesterday, 5 winners from 18 for a 16pt profit. Hopefully we can find more of the same today, I've got another 20 picks today across the 5 meeting, probably best not to get carried away with stake as it's a Monday but this is my tuppence worth as to some you should at least factor into your calculations, it's not been a good month for those who follow me blind, and i apologise for that, there's 3 days left and then the calcs get reset to zero and we have another stab at getting our betting accounts closed. :-) Bring it on!

Morning all, A positive start yesterday limped out with some poor performances late on, I think Lightning Cloud was unlucky coming home 3rd but well clear on his side of the track, well done though if you aren't as arrogant as me and backed him each way. Just 7 horses for you today, and then what I'm betting on in the NFL and EPL, how unlucky were yesterdays football bets, late goals where we didn't want them, and a failure to get one where we did. Right I'll get on.

Friday 19-10-12

Morning all. A couple of winners in newbie corner yesterday, but unfortunately only the NAP could oblige on the advised bets. Hoping for better today. A nice meeting at Cheltenham to enjoy, usual Friday night AW fayre from Wolves and Dundalk and Fakenham and Haydock support nicely.

FAKENHAM

1200 OPERATION TRACER (NB)
Stayed on well into second after being hampered on the run in last time out. Travelled nicely for most of the race and looks a nice hurdling type.

130 QUINSMAN
Very progressive type, looks to be on a fair mark and step up in trip shouldn't be a problem.

HAYDOCK

225 BLUE LOTUS
Didn't get home in much hotter race last time out. Back down to winning trip today and reunited with pilot of that victory. Overpriced due to potential hotpot at top of market.

300 BRAVO YOUMZAIN
Race down to 4 now and this one sets the standard for me. Been very consistent and 3/4 runs at 6f he's done his best work late on. Tried at 7f for the first time today, nothing to suggest it'll be a problem.

WOLVERHAMPTON

550 WILTSHIRE LIFE
Back down to same mark as when victorious at Kempton over this trip, struggled up in grade since then. He likes to do it upfront and a very capable jockey for that, especially in this sphere.

650 STARLIGHT ANGEL
She has a tough draw to overcome. She does look very overpriced to me though. Luke gets on with her very well and I think you'll get a run for your money. It's her first go on the polytrack but no real negative on breeding for that.

720 GUNNER WILL
This one is certainly becoming a cliffhorse, I keep backing and he keeps running poor. But he's in my notebook, there has to be some ability in there, right? He had some decent 2yo form but really has been poor this year. Mark has tumbled though to say the least and this is by far the weakest race he has contested.

850 DARNATHEAN
I honestly thought he had won last time out, until the judges saw the photo differently. He's due to go up 2lb for that marginal defeat but comes out here on same mark. Certainly a worthy favourite if in the same frame of mind.

CHELTENHAM

245 DOMTALINE
On a hattrick although somewhat fortunate to win last time, the second that day however has gone on and won twice since, so there'd have been no damage in defeat. Ruby climbs up today and that's a massive positive.

430 BIRZALI
I've been following this one in Ireland and interesting they've bought him over here for this type of race, travelled nicely last time out before failing to see out the trip, this is shorter and he has a chance at a big price.

540 CONSTANT CONTACT
Potentially found weight/grade too much last time, this looks as competitve mind, although with the handicapper taking 4 off and Callum Whillans claiming 3 he's half a stone lighter than last time. He was behind a couple of these last time and has been given a more than fair pull in the weights yet they are both half his price.

DUNDALK

730 CURIA REGIS (NAP)
He's made the frame every time he's been here, and seems to have a chance at the weights with those reopposed. My system makes him my best bet of the day and as it's had 3 in a row i'm going to trust it.

900 SPRING HAWK
Has a fair few placed efforts at this track, she has been going very well over hurdles this summer and looks a decent price.

Split 2 subsequent winners when finishing down the field in hot race. Struggled to get home in 3 trys at 6f, but shown plenty of pace. Maybe a drop to 5 or headgear to settle with a view to holding up slightly and this one could well find himself winning.

Morning all. Lots studied this morning and ran out of time so I'm typing this on my phone at work! My NAP was due to run at Punchestown so only a NB available now. Loads in newbie corner, that's what took the time. 3 Street Cry progeny out today and your notebook horse.

ANJAZ + REPRESENTATION both 405 LINGFIELD For Bin Suroor and Al Zarooni respectively. Personally I prefer the filly (anjaz) at the bigger price, and the legup of William Buick certainly boosts that view, but both have won on polytrack and both look on reasonable marks for this race. NOTEBOOK HORSE HUNTSMANS CLOSE next engagement WOLVERHAMPTON 18/10 14:30 This one is progressing well and should have won before now but offers little off the bridle. Form of last time out second was boosted yesterday by the winner going in again in a better race. Worth a couple more chances in my opinion. That's it. Hopefully this will post okay.

Tuesday 16-10-12

This is a very poor run. I'm considering a break next week, after the Champions Day meeting at Ascot. If I can't turn around my luck then this is looking a grand possibility. I have a few today, I've tried to broaden my system a little in the bid that more darts = greater chance of a bull. Technically it's right but the flipside of the coin is more bets = more losers! Anyway I have 14, 2 with dangers and 10 newbies. My first formbook horse for you, No Street Crys entered today, but there is an interesting one going at Haydock on Friday, out of a Sadlers Wells mare and holds a Derby entry.
Right, to it

With Pricewise sharing his secrets, ahem, I figured why don't i get in on the act. I'm not sure I could charge £16 for a book that tells you not to back every favourite and to pick 2 or 3 big prices that look to have a chance, but heyho. What I will do is put up one horse for your notebook that the previous days racing has highlighted, and when (if) it has it's next engagement. This will start tomorrow. If anything turns up.

Thursday 11th October -

Morning all, a nice winning NAP yesterday, pushed us back towards the breakeven. A pretty cagey day today really, I've only 4 bets and just the one Street Cry runner, and I'll be honest it's not one I really like.

NAP - FAUSTINA PIUS 245 TRAMORE
Other than a below par effort on bottomless last time, this one has been generally running well. Potentially exposed but very much sets the standard here. May well find one from nowhere but as long as available at a sensible odds against price, worth the risk, in my opinion.

NB - RUN MARY 345 TRAMORE (33/1 Boylesports)
Still has to get into race, 1st reserve. Has shown little to get excited about but given an ease by the handicapper and toungue tie will be used if lining up.

CELTIC CHARLIE 850 KEMPTON (8/1 bet365)
All decent efforts have come on the AW from this gelding. Last won off a mark of 49 in February, today races off 52 but the very good Jemma Marshall takes off a useful 5lbs essentially making it 47.

GRAPHIC 750 KEMPTON (16/1 Ladbrokes, BetVictor, 365, William Hill)
Bare record reads 2 wins from 10, delving in removing better races than this it becomes 2 from 6, both of those wins have come at this track, and 1 over this trip. A big ask with some of the animals he's up against, but worth a play at this price, in my opinion.


STREET CRYS
Just the one today
CHATTERATI 510 AYR
I'm not going to lie, I don't really like this filly one bit. Showed absolutely nothing for Godolphin, Mark Johnstone managed to somehow make her briefly look like a racehorse when she first moved to Sheikh Mohammed's son. No interest at all. In fact  might even place lay.

Good Luck and Happy Punting

Wednesday 10th October -

Good morning all, a blank yesterday but could have been so much more with 20/1, 14/1 and 14/1 places!!! Talk about hitting the crossbar. I've only 7 today and a bit of time so I'll do a little write up on each. Plus I'm introducing #teamstreetcry. Street Cry is my favourite sire, and I generally back each runner to varying success, I've found the female progeny to be more profitable but haven't really kept a log.

NAP - KING OF DUDES 535 NAVAN (12/1 365,Coral)
Formally with Sir Henry Cecil, now resides with Thomas Carmody and represents the Andrew Tinkler operation. Has some solid form in the book, including a soft ground win at Leopardstown in July. Todays pilot has twice had him placed in Apprentice events and takes 10lb of the allotted weight which itself has an age allowance. Where he should be carrying topweight effectively he slots in somewhere in the middle of the pack and if the first time blinkers have the desired effect this is a prime opportunity for this runner.

NB - ODDYSEY 400 NOTTINGHAM (3/1 Paddy Power, BetFred)
Micheal Dods' filly has been very consistent, last 6 figures read 122133, having a third crack at current mark whilst being reunited with the jockey responsible for the two 1's, who just so happens to be able to relinquish 3lb. This horse has seen significant support overnight and most form suggests that the step up in trip will suit nicely.

SEPTEMBER LILY 305 NAVAN (4/1 365)
This filly has had a lot of chances but generally given a decent account, placing 6 times, dealt with a few of todays opponents last time out and has blinkers fitted for the first time today. Maybe this is final chance saloon for her in my book but she'll sure give a run for our money.

FORRAY 300 NOTTINGHAM (14/1 Widely available)
Has been running in better races than this and will handle the cut in the ground. 4 starts ago was not beaten far in secod by a horse called Body and Soul who has really gone into orbit since. A few less exposed types to deal with here but this looks a realistic engagement and the price looks too big, it may get more realistic if the favourite doesn't line up.

GANGSTERBANKSTERS 600 KEMPTON (14/1 365,Sky)
Like September Lily this one is a bit of a #cliffhorse for me. I think his opening handicap mark was very harsh, even though the form of his maidens has held up, probably more reliable to look at the first one only. Looks on a nicer mark now and with one hell of a jockey booked. Martin Harley often does well when teaming up with Elaine Burke and I'm hoping for a big run this evening.

LETSTALKABOUTMONEY 800 KEMPTON (20/1 Coral, Stan James)
Well face it that's what it's all about anyway, right? Strong form in lower grades, was out of depth last time out but this looks more suitable on handicap debut. Can be found as short as 10/1 elsewhere so certainly value in the price if nothing else.

DAZZLING VALENTINE 500 NOTTINGHAM (14/1 Pretty much everywhere!)
This filly always travels well, and she finally got her reward after a racewinning jump onto the rail from Natasha Eaton, Natasha continues her affiliation with this one in this apprentice event. Chances are she won't give us a huge amount in the finish but she should come there with something in the tank. Worth a play at the price.

That's my bets. Onto the Street Crys

BERKELEY STREET 330 NOTTINGHAM
A newcomer for the Queen and Sir Micheal Stoute, 3 parts brother to a useful group filly trained in France, may well prove to be one for the notebook. Watch the market.

STREET POWER 730 KEMPTON
Jeremy Gask's 7yo gelding has 6 of his 9 career wins here at Kempton, 4 over todays trip. Partnered tonight by one of the elite AW jockeys George Baker I think he has a real chance at a decent price.

In the football I'm having a speculative play on Stockport to beat Wrexham.

Morning all, will have to be a quickie today, wanted to bash out a few thoughts but time is against me this morning, if i get time later I'll tweet some. The racing is surprisingly better than muck for a Monday. Okay I'm not getting carried away and suggesting it's good, but there are one or two reasonably competitive races to get teeth into. 11 bets today, I think that's the most I've put up on a Monday since I used to do every race!!! I'll get to it.

Sunday 7th October - Arc day.

Well the Arc is upon us, Camelot gets a second chance to prove greatness, I think the pressure is surely higher after excuses appeared following the long odds on defeat in the Leger, I don't think he can win the Arc, but that's just me. Antepost I think I only have St Nicholas Abbey lining up for me, so hopefully he can find his way into the frame somehow. I like Godolphin's 3yo Masterstroke who has raced, and beaten, his elders this season already. I've had a few bets at Longchamp today, mostly for interest, I'll add them on here but I really haven't studied just picked some out that I like. Other than that a pretty cagey days racing, I've just 4 bets, 4/4 would be nice.

Morning all, yesterday I did all the backwork, picked out my bets, my newbies, placed my bets, entered my tipping competition. The forgot to actually write the blog! I would love to tell you all I got 10 winners at double figure prices, but I didn't. I didn't get bugger all, I got 1 second I think from 5 bets, I did have 2 decent fancies at Sligo but that went by the wayside anyway.
Onto today, I have 7 bets and 3 newbies.

Morning all, a tough day yesterday, it looked promising when we got the winner of the very first race of the day but wasn't to be, apart from a very odds on good thing we had to wait until 830 for the next winner! Needless to say this incurred a small loss to SP. But today is a new day, and one filled with cracking racing. Another tweak to my system and it thinks it can find forecasts! So I've 2 forecasts to try, the FC horse will be in brackets, bet it as a saver if you wish. Better get on.

Morning, another poor day yesterday, it wears you down sometimes. I spend a lot of time working behind the scenes and bad runs really grate on me. It's okay though because I'll pick myself up and have another go the very next day. I've a few more selections today, 16 in total. and 8 in newbie corner. I'll be doing my study for the football and NFL tonight so they should be blogged in the morning, or maybe even tonight if I have time. Onto today.
