Morning all, yesterday I could only suggest 1 at odds on so I didn't really see the point posting a blog for that. I have just one today but at a better price. 13/2 with Hills the best i saw earlier.

POWERFUL PIERRE 340 WOLVERHAMPTON
In terrific form at present and not really getting hammered by the handicapper. Sure there'll be a cieling sooner rather than later but I think at the prices it's certainly worth hoping for one more win.

Morning all, I'm back. I've been unwell. Firstly a nasty throat infection, and then some form of lurgy have kept me under the weather for the past fortnight or so. You'll be pleased to hear I'm back feeling more like myself of late so fingers crossed this should be the back of my ailments. To make up for lost time I have a few to bet on today, a couple probably a bit chancey, but if things fall right they have a hope. I'll pop them down.

This horse could make this a real contest if allowed to dictate. With Banoffee sets the standard, and the value is here given the filly's quotes of 2.5 in places.

Tuesday November 26

Morning, so 1 bet 1 win yesterday, can't grumble at that. I have just 1 again today.

LIVING THE LIFE 520 WOLVERHAMPTON
She's been very consistent of late, which is always a positive in a filly. Narrowly touched off last time by one that had the money down. Always a danger for that again but she's treated nice and in the frame of mood to certainly be there or thereabouts.

And a quick one on the footie.

SHREWSBURY to beat Oldham
15/8 Bet 365, BetVictor
2 evenly matched sides, Shrewsbury won this fixture last season 1-0, this term all 4 wins have come to nil at home, with Swindon and Sheffield United among the conquered. Oldham aren't no pushover and showed that when winning at Wolves recently. Also these 2 met here in the JPT and the visitors went away 4-1 to the good. I expect the Shrews to gain compensation for that and win by 1 or 2- nil.

Good Luck

Monday November 25

Morning all, I have just 1 bet, and 1 bet only today. He's a C&D winner, off 5lb higher, albeit over different obstacles. 2nd favouritism based mainly on the form of the yard sending out the favourite in my opinion, not that that is to be rubbished, just pointing out potential for value. Hopefully he runs well, he has made errors jumping so far when chasing but this slightly larger field might help brush them out.

Saturday November 23

Morning all, a mouthwatering day of sport ahead. The hardcore will have been up through the night watching our cricketers efforts, exceptional racing at Haydock, and Ascot throws up decent fayre despite the small fields. Premier League football and finally tonight the most anticipated British boxing fight for some time. Doesn't get much better than this.

Anyway I am placing 5 bets today, here they are.

Morning all, a truly horrid day yesterday. I'm going back to basics a bit. I have just 5 today, they should all go well, they cover a number of the criteria i look for so provided they go to form they have a chance. Sadly all bar 1 are quite short, nothing daft though so we could hold our own with a couple obliging.

Morning all, apologies for the lack of activity over the last few days, I have been quite under the weather. To be fair not feeling champion today still. I have 3 horses today and a treble on the footy, i'm afraid that's all i can muster the energy to do.

Much better yesterday 3 winners from the 7 selections and a huge 10 point profit. Today looks a lot tougher to find them, I have 1 at Kempton, which is my NAP, and 4 speculative shots at the sandpit(Southwell) hopefully they can at least give us a run.

Morning all, I'm back. Sadly I'm still piecing a few things together but I promised I'd be back today, so here I am. This blog will present tips for Horse Racing, Football, NFL and soon NBA (I'm learning) Up to date records will be on show at all times, I will be adding some links, I'll begin with sites that provide traffic in my direction, there may be some bookie affiliate* links, and if anyone wants a link added, let me know.
I'll start today with just 4 on the AW tonight. See how we go. I've explained before I bet statistically so it'll just be lists of horses I'm afraid but be assured that I back what I put down.

Hopefully I'll be fully operational ASAP, I'm close. Still a few tweaks.

I'm taking a small sabatical from tipping, I have work to do on my systems and it seems fairer to do them behind the scenes.

Morning all,
   yesterday Bucking the Trend ran very well, until a mistake at the second last done for his chances, Princess of Orange was written in the stars, we knew our fate before as the horse drifted from 7s to 14s! Anyway we'll move on. England are going to Brazil, which is good. I have 5 today, a couple suitable for each way if that's your thing. Hopefully 1 or 2 can find the winners circle and I can get this heating turned on.

Monday 7-10-13

Morning all, a disappointing 5th for Terfel yesterday. Hopefully we can do better today. I have 2 bets todays. I think they both have solid enough chances, but we'll see.

BOLD PREDICTION 310 PONTEFRACT
Decent win in a small field at Ayr 2 starts ago and the form for that has worked out well, and not disgraced up in class last time out, finishing within a length of one that has gone on to win a Group 3 and a Listed event subsequently. The winner of that race has won again also.

TRAIN HARD 500 WOLVERHAMPTON
Ran a strormer after 6 months off last week, handicapper hasn't had time to reassess so if that was a pipe opener then he is ridiculously well in here for me. Neil Callan gets a leg up, for me he rides Wolverhampton pretty well, in fact I believe it's his most succesful track?

Good Luck

Sunday 6-10-13

Morning all, sadly yesterday fizzled out after an excellent start with Steps. I only have 1 today, hopefully he'll go well. I'm not going to tip anything for the Arc, it's a complex race and if you're desperate I could point you in the direction of some incredible judges. It's a cracking card in Longchamp, if you enjoy racing you'll love it, if you think you might enjoy racing, you certainly will after.

TERFELS TOSCAR 435 UTTOXETER

Ran pretty well on only visit to this track, and had a win 3 starts ago over this trip. A solid run followed by a bit of a stinker (over further). He's had a month off, pushed back to winning trip. I think he has every chance to feature here, this looks an open handicap, and at Bet365's 10/1 he looks pretty solid value.

Good Luck

Saturday 5-10-13

Morning all, and praise the good lord for Dundalk. After a blank day and couple of winners helped.
I have just 3 today, despite the feast of racing. It's a minefield this time of year and generally a bit of a struggle finding winners.

STEPS 130 ASCOT
The horse generally runs pretty well here, has won on soft ground more than once. Jamie Spencer will suit the horses style and this race a squeak easier than last time out. I'd expect a big run from him, yard in excellent form also.

ANGELS WILL FALL 445 NEWMARKET
This horse beat Steps into second in the Portland, then a week later finished ahead again in the Group 3 at Newbury. Also dropped back into Listed company. I'd suggest a standard bet and then if Steps does indeed land the 130 then perhaps add some of your winnings to this one.

ELNADWA 915 WOLVERHAMPTON
After struggling in slightly better races, a decent run here last time out. Wont need to improve much from that to feature again here and is a bit of value for mine.

Good Luck and Happy Punting

Morning all, a couple of winners, most importantly my main one yesterday. Fingers crossed we can get a few winners today. I have some at quite sensible prices really, could be a good day if things fall right.

My main bet today is MIDNIGHT RIDER in the 510 at Warwick. I know a few on twitter that will have written this off without looking for one reason, I'm not going to go there, you know who you are, ;-p
He won this race last year, and has put in some credible efforts since. His 3rd last time out at Newmarket is looking decent with winners coming out of that race like it's a fashion.

My others

250 BAN - DURSEY SOUND Decent Hurdler, should suit step to bigger obstacles
420 BAN - BALADY Modest flat performer with some stamina, could feature

230 SOU - PLATINUM PROOF Bred to enjoy this surface, yard flying this year

240 WAR - MAJOR CRISPIES This easier than last twice, cheekpieces on today

Today I'm keen on BREAKING THE BANK in the claimer at Salisbury. 320. A drop in class and I'm not sure the mark is right on the Hannon runner. Neither puts up any real form on softer ground but they do both set the standard. The value lies in my selection so hopefully he can oblige.

LISICKI to beat Venus Williams
BOUCHARD to beat Stephens

Monday 30-9-13

Morning all, I'm leaving the horses alone today. Nothing really catches my eye. I've had a couple bets on the Tennis and the Football, the Tennis starts early if you're following.

LEYTON HEWITT to beat Tommy Haas.
2 elder statesmen of the tour, both have some form this year, with Leyton looking very good on the grass in the summer. Hewitt leads the H2H 6-3 but they've not met since 2004! Both were beaten by Youzhny in the US Open, Hewitt in 5, Haas in 4. Both men are capable of turning up and really probably not a lot between them so the value lies with Hewitt.

JUAN MONACO to beat Jarkko Nieminen
H2H here is 2-2 but both Nieminen's wins came before 2008. Monaco has won the 2 meetings since, albeit both on clay. Another decent 1st round tie in prospect, and the value lies again with the outsider of the pair.

FIORENTINA to beat Parma
Fiorentina have won this fixture to nil the last 3 years, they are in decent form so far winning 3 of their 4 league games, The only blip a draw with Cagliari before their Europa league tie. Parma yet to register a win and have only managed 2 goals to La Viola's 10. They maintain the tiniest squeak of a fair price at Victor's 8/13, Hills a penny in the pound shorter at 6/10. Betfred won't even give you a ton to 2ton so 8/13 is a bet.

Good Luck and Happy Punting

Saturday 28-9-13

Morning all, I'm just going to tap this out quickly today. Little loss yesterday but only 3 points and to be fair that's a small cost for a full day of entertainment.

Morning, so the SR wasn't amazing yesterday, 15.3%, but 6 places as well and a profit of 0.87 points to level stakes shows promise. I'm going to stick with this method as it's a bit quicker for me, although placing my bets takes a lot longer! I'll chuck up my footy treble as well, plus tomorrows NFL bets as there will be no blog tomorrow, it's my boy's birthday.

Morning all, keeping up with this blog is difficult. I study lots of formlines, look at so many factors, it can take a long time to whittle down to one bet, which then loses. It can get disheartening. Sure it's great when one comes off, but even if you get a 12/1 winner followed by 10 losers despite being in profit it still feels like losing. Now what I do each day is draw up a shortlist of the races/horses i'm going to be looking at. This comes from a complex background where i have over 4000 horses entered and they change daily as some go in and some come out. I'm going to merely put up the horse that comes up first for each race. So you will get more tips each day, probably a worse strike rate but I'd have had some big winners using this method previously had I done so. We'll see how it goes, I'll record the data daily for now then maybe move to a weekly or monthly figure going forward.

Morning all, yesterday's selection was poor, I have 2, both a bit speculative really. They'd be bang in there if conditions were spot on but both have a little to prove. The prices however reflect that, therefore a bit of value on offer.

Wednesday 18-9-13

Morning, so yesterdays selection trailed in last. Great. What about today. There's some decent looking races dotted about today. Listowel has a solid card, should make good watxhing, and the listed race at Yarmouth looks to be of a decent standard. I've tweeted that Agent Allison looks a big price, she's been racing at Group level since her debut, she'll enjoy any cut in the ground. I'm not backing I'll quickly explain, I don't do each way, and I don't think she is that keen on winning. But with 16s dotted across the board, you've got a bet at 11/10 to place with the concession of a win, alternatively the place is 3.7 on the exchange so I'm headed there. Enjoy. But moving forward I have 1 bet today,

CHOC 'A' MOCA 410 BEVERLEY
No change in mark from last time out 2nd, form of that race working out quite well, Winner won again, and the 3rd won in a higher grade. Useful claimer takes 5lb off, couple that with the grade rise which means he carries physically a stone less than the last race. I think this is a big chance for this horse, who can often string together a couple of decent efforts. 25% record over C&D useful too. I like this one. And a very workable price, Paddy Power the most generous at 12/1.

Good Luck and Happy Punting

Tuesday 17-9-13

Morning all, 3rd place yesterday, not too bad certainly for those who go each way. I have 1 again today.

CHURCHFIELD CHAMP 510 LISTOWEL

Right up there with these on best form, has a propensity to either run really well or chuck in a stinker, last time out he performed the latter. Shanpalas and Sizing rightly short here but if one or either of them is below par Champ looks the value to capitalise.

Good Luck

Monday 16-9-13

Morning all, nice to get a winner yesterday, I only have one today so hopefully I can get the same amount of winners.

SANTO PRINCE 320 BRIGHTON

Course winner, Drawn well, Will handle cut in ground, Lower weight than last win.

Good Luck

Sunday 15-9-13

Morning all,
     So, we aren't going to well right now. I have 5 for today, just 1 of them popping up would get the job done so fingers crossed on that front. I shan't rabbit on, I'm tired.

Morning all, It's Leger day. Compared to some recent Legers this field looks okay. I won't go into the race too much but I'll tell you what I've bet. I'm into Libertarian Antepost, and the money has come nicely for him, I'm in a decent position if needs be. He should relish the cut, the trip, Godolphin have an excellent record in this race. Sure he wears the Red cap but that doesn't mean a lot really, certainly not anymore. Leading Light's Queen Vase win was visually very stylish, it would be interesting to see if similar tactics deployed today, with doubts on some of these for the trip it would make sense. Finally at a big price is Great Hall. This horse doesn't look anywhere near his potential, he hasn't encountered cut in the ground before so potentially an issue there, but certainly no issue with the trip. Big step up in class but his form from last start watertight with 2nd, 3rd and 4th all winning next time up.

Morning all, just the one winner yesterday at 7/2, could have been a storming day though with a 40/1 second! Small Margins! I have 9 for today. Am I confident? It's tough to tell, I'd be disappointed with less than 2 winners if I'm honest but that should be enough to pay the way, we'll see. So my overs bet on the NFL went down last night, which rings the question Are the Jets actually half decent? They certainly look capable of keeping the games close, potentially a team to follow when recieving a decent start on the spread. I'll pop my Unders and Spread bets up on Sunday.

Morning all, hope some of you followed yesterday as 4 winners amassed a solid 20+ points profit. Can't grumble at that. Looks a decent card at York today and I'm chancing 5 there, plus a couple over on the Irish All Weather. Hopefully they can do us well, if they don't, it's only 7 points of the 20 we borrowed off the bookies yesterday.

Morning all, have to be quick today, first day back to school for the biggest of my pests. I've got 2 horses, both pretty short really so you might prefer to just double them up. I'll let you decide. Also I'll jot down my week 1 accas for the NFL, I keep my stakes small this time of year as it can take a couple of weeks to work out who will underperform, and who will exceed expectations.

Morning, just a quickie this morning.

The racing isn't horrible for a Monday, but it is still Monday! I have 1, it's pretty short though, at Ffos Las.

ABATED 450 FFOS LAS

She has scope to improve and the 3yo weight allowance will aid here, as will the man of the moment in the saddle James Doyle. A weak race full of exposed horses, this shouldn't be too much of a hurdle.

Sunday 1-9-13

Morning, and happy new month. Only 1 again for me today, in the big race of the day. The Moyglare (415 Curragh).
It's difficult to suggest that next years 1000 Guineas winner doesn't come from this race. And what a race. I'll just run through the card because i think they deserve it.
CARLA BIANCA
Probably has a lot to do, close second to the well thought of Australia on debut, she needs to find probably 20lb on that run to get to the level of these.
KIYOSHI
The Albany winner. She won that so impressively and if she ran in a straight line she'd probably be odds on here and even money for the classic. She switched near the entire width of the track at Ascot and still beat a string of subsequent Group class performers by a nearest 3 and half lengths. She's my view of the winner here.
PERHAPS
The dark horse? For me she wants further, looks a decent horse but she's struggled to get to 2 of these rivals the last twice, over this trip.
RIZEENA
She looks like she'll improve for further, which she gets today. Impressive winner of the Queen Mary at Ascot, she's been staying on nicely in 2 strong races since. She's certainly a big player here, my worry for her is that she's raced a fair bit for a 2yo filly
TAPESTRY
Visually she's done it nice enough the last twice, and the numbers suggest she's decent. She had perhaps behind comfortably last time and looks like there's more to come. For me though there has to be to get to the 2 British raiders and that's why Kiyoshi is my bet at level prices.
WONDERFULLY
A long way behind Kiyoshi at Ascot, but gets to within a length of Tapestry on a straight line through Perhaps, another still improving and the assistance of Ryan Moore is a huge positive.
TOUCH OF SNOW
It'll be a nice day out for her connections!

Kiyoshi is the winner for me, if they've straightened her out she wins easy. I couldn't put you off backing the others, well maybe 1 of them, I might chuck Wonderfully in the forecast for fun, I don't think there's a lot between her, Rizeena and Tapestry and she is the biggest price.

Enjoy the race, and good luck with whomever you pick.

Saturday 31-8-13

Morning all. 2nd yesterday. Only 1 again today, looks a tricky day to pick apart, potentially quantity over quality when you break it all down.

MERCERS ROW 305 BEVERLEY
Comfortable off this mark, when he's dropped this low recently he's had a win and 2 seconds from 4 runs off 69, today 68. At BetVictor's 14/1 it works out a 5/4 place landing for the EW players. Worth keeping onside imo. Add to that a 33% C&D record. Only won once in 27 starts elsewhere.

Good Luck

Morning all, despite some decent competitive racing today I can only find one I want to bet on.

BALLYGLASHEEN 445 KILLARNEY

Cut no ice in 3 starts on the flat, but made solid start in this sphere (hurdling) last time out, coming in ahead of a subsequent winner on that occasion. Should be a bit of value with a Mullins/Walsh debutant lining up also.

Good Luck and I'll be back tomorrow.

Wednesday 28-8-13

Morning all, 1 from 2 yesterday. At 5/2 profit was made. Lovely. I only have 1 today and 3 in the Tennis.

CALDERCRUIX 550 SOUTHWELL

33% at the course, last win came here in last run in this class, when claimers allowances balanced out effectively on the same mark too. Probably needed a run last time out. Should be a player.


TENNIS

D. GOFFIN
He has played a lot of hard court Tennis coming here, winning a challenger event in Turkey and qualifying for both recent Masters tournaments. Won't be an easy game against Dolgopolov but lots of value on the Belgian.

C. VANDEWEGHE
Funnily I did a double Monday night on the womens and the 2 featured here beat the 2 in my double! Coco had more of a run out as she came through some game changing moments to land a confident straight sets win. Her opponent today cruised to a double bagel victory against very little resistance. With the crowd on her side Coco can use her experience from the first round to push on again.

A. KLEYBANOVA
She could be the story of these championships, former top 20 player now outside 300. She only played 2 matches last year which probably points to her current ranking. But she's worked hard to get here, back when she had the game to beat Jankovic which is shown by her 3-2 H2H lead. Well worth a bet at 4/1.

Good Luck and Happy Punting

Tuesday 27-8-13

Monday 26-8-13

Morning all, just 1 from the 3 yesterday, but the other 2 weren't too far away so not too displeased. I have looked through the racing today, scratched out a shortlist and taken a mere 2 from it to bet on.

QUINSMAN 435 BANGOR

This one was allocated a Handicap mark of 122 following decent runs in Novice company, he hasn't hit those heights really and now finds himself off 108. His last 2 races look reasonably decent so far, albeit he was someway behind. Today he is aided by cheekpieces for the first time and also the superb Richard Johnson. He has to have a chance here, if he wants too.

COOL SKY 550 CARTMEL

Useful high 70's/80's handicapper on the flat, now with the excellent Donald McCain. Really not a lot to shout about in this race so should be a decent bit of placement for this horse.

Good Luck and Happy Punting

Sunday 25-8-13

Morning all, unfortunately Hoofalong could only manage 2nd, getting collared after hitting the front. But my main footy treble came up so swings and roundabouts yesterday. I have 3 horses today. We'll see how they go, 2 of them are favourites I'm afraid so it's up to you if you follow.

Saturday 24-8-13

Morning all, A comfortable profit yesterday, very pleased. Onto today, and it was a struglle finding something to confidently place some on. It's a very open days racing. Whatever wins will most likely be met with derision and calls of "i backed that last time" or "I looked at that", the latter i could honestly say about nearly 150 horses running today. Therefore I'm taking the easy way out and keeping my money in my pocket, just backing 1 horse in the last at York.

HOOFALONG 535 YORK
Very much on the up this year, for some reasons the Cheekpieces he wore when landing back 2 back success were left off last time, back on now. Partnered by a very capable apprentice, although there are a few in this race the cream of the crop have come out. With the excuse of the headgear issue last time we don't really know if the handicapper has a squeeze on yet, the horse seems know how to win when you look at the manner of his victories.

So that's it, I'll jot down my 3 main footy bets, hopefully i can land 1.

Morning all, I'm back. I couldn't find anything i wanted to waste my money on the last 2 days, I have today, 5 in fact. There are no selections from York. Me and York don't really get on from a punting perspective so I've left alone, that said if I do find a bet there over the next few days then I'll go in, but unlike some festivals where I'll bet every race regardless I'm not prepared to do that at York. So, I'll have to be quick this morning as I have a "Don't tweet and drive" course at 8am!!!

Morning, absolutely village day all round yesterday. So near yet so far on a number of football lines. Nothing on the nags. Cheers. I only have 1 today lets hope!!!

WIESENTRAUM 300 SOUTHWELL

Lucy Wadham's charge won on only previous visit here. Likely needed the run last time after a break, weigh that in with a 6lb swing against Dark Energy who reopposes today and you start to look potentially well in. It will arguably take his best to win this, but he's improving so certainly not beyond the realms of possibility.

Saturday 17-8-13

Morning all, I've taken a back to basics attitude today. I've picked out just 4 horses hopefully they can give us a run for our money. I've got a couple of footy bets to share with you, so you know who to leave off your coupon, a newbie to cast an eye over, and a 10 game BTTS.

Morning, Yesterday, 5 horses, 1 5/1 winner. That's a profit, not a big one, but a profit none the less. I have a few today, a few will certainly appeal to each way players, I think they have a chance, I've backed them and hope for a good run. I have a clear NAP + NB today so hopefully they won't make me look a plank.

CARLISLE

245 CHINA EXCELS
Sue Smith isn't really a name regularly attached to flat racing, in fact this one possibly is her only winner (certainly in the last 5 years).Given a pretty hard hit by the handicapper after that win and has now dropped backed into basement grade, worth a play.

515 AILSA CRAIG (NB)
For the excellent Ontoawinner.com syndicate, @tweetstershorse would be a hugely popular winner. Trainer Edwin Tuer has his yard in good order at the moment in my opinion and loves it at this track. The horse hasn't won for a couple of years now but is a mighty 11lb lower for it.

NOTTINGHAM

605 DIAMOND VINE

This horse has the potential to pop up, now and then. He has won off marks of 71, 65 and 60 and currently sits at 55. Worth keeping onside on decent ground here.

805 MISS BLINK

Eyecatcher last time when struggled for room coming home well, worth a follow with another ease in weight. Jockey Gary Mahon landed an apprentice race some 10 or so days ago so has the winning feeling.

STRATFORD

620 EPEE CELESTE

This horse has tumbled in the weights. She has the ability, she just doesn't seem to be getting home. She has a massive weight pull with one of the favourites here and on that looks a squeak of value.

720 BRASS MONKEY

Won here 3 starts ago for Charlie Longsdon, interesting new yard are persevering at this longer trip. Could make the frame.

WORCESTER

330 HARANGUE

After showing promise last summer, running to RPRs in the hundreds and forcing the official hcap to 99, he hasn't gone on at all. Trainer seems to have bought him here for a change of scenery perhaps. If they can invoke a bit of last years efforts then he is well in. It'll be interesting to see if any cash comes.

400 SANGFROID (NAP)

Tim Vaughan is flying at the moment. This horse hasn't scored since 2009, but is some 18lb lower than when beginning winter campaign last October, useful conditional takes off a further 3. He was well backed on reappearance so obviously has shown some readiness and any money again today would be another big positive.

505 CARHUE PRINCESS

Back to mark of decent 2nd at Uttoxeter in April. I just think she's a big price more than anything. She's on my follow list so must have shown me something once upon a time.

That's all folks.

Good Luck and Happy Punting

Monday 12-8-13

Morning all, a winner and a third yesterday. A bit better. The winner was odds against (just) so profit was made. I have 5 today, and 2 newcomers to jot down.

I have just 3 today, after yesterdays appalling showing. I'm going a little outside the box on my NAP, hopefully it can pay off.

FEARNWOOD GIRL 635 SLIGO (NAP)

3 wins from 4 over today's trip at the track, 2 in hcaps on marks of 106 and 103, after a string of below par efforts he has tumbled to a lowly 92, therefore realistically if he can get to within 10lb of his best efforts at a track he likes he has a chance to win!

DADDY WARBUCKS 630 SOUTHWELL

Unbeaten on fibresand, although most recently was a claimer. Seen some overnight support.

VITAL EVIDENCE 715 SANDOWN

Appalling in a tactical affair last time out, returns to C&D of sole win. Still potentially unexposed and worth another try.

Morning all, a very poor day yesterday, just the 1 winner at a price hardly worth mentioning. So I'll go on. A fair fewer today, just 6, I've got time for a few lines.

SPRAY TAN 240 BATH
This horse has won 2 of her 8 starts, both over Course and Distance in this class. Not the best of efforts last time out but return to this track should bring a better effort.

DALE STREET 525 LIMERICK
Holds the best rating here, last race working out okay with a couple horses coming out and winning similar events to this on next appearance.

THE NAME IS FRANK 530 BATH
Not won since 2011, but a regular visitor here and dual C&D success. Ran a decent race last time out and holds a pretty solid claim to make the frame this time at a fair double figure quote.

SCINTILLULA 720 LEOPARDSTOWN
Form of her maiden win working out nicely and done well in Listed company on next start. Merely touched off a length in the Irish Oaks and intersting to see what she can do here in Group 3 company with her allowances.

ELLE WOODS 750 DONCASTER (NAP)
Always back a filly in form, and she is in great nick. Steps up in class for her hattrick effort.

DONATIS COMET 830 LEOPARDSTOWN
This one has made the frame on half of his career starts, finshing second last time to the useful Knockcroghery, who has gone in and won again since. Nice price this one.

Good Luck and Happy Punting

Morning all, The month just keeps on plodding into a mire of frustration. The odd winner here and there offering a glimmer of hope but then tumbling down with horses that just don't look interested at times. Take yesterdays NAP, Amir Pasha, he was hard at it a long way out, I knew my money had gone maybe halfway in the race, it's tough when that happens. Anyway, I have 8 bets today, I'm sure there's a winner in there somewhere!

Morning, another sorry blank yesterday. I'll try again. After the highs of last month and particularly Royal Ascot this is a real come down. Some more news, my annual vacation through which i shall not be blogging is sadly over Glorious Goodwood. I will try to get something up before i go but no promises as I'm a very busy boy. Anyway, I have 2 main bets today then 3 others.

AMIR PASHA 440 CATTERICK (NAP)

C&D winner off a higher weight, ran well here lto albeit over a longer trip. The main point though is this, this is an amateur jockey race. It always pays to seek out the best jockey and for me that is Becky Smith. You'll not have seen too much of her as she has only sat on 10 under rules, getting 2 to the post. She's pretty strong and to date her wins have both been in hurdle events I fully expect her to land one of these flat events before long.

THE MAD ROBERTSON 450 UTTOXETER

This horse, it's his second look at the big obstacles, he's aided by the champ, he's on excellent terms with the rival deemed closest by the tissue. All he has to do now is win.

Morning all, another frustrating day, but I think I was quite clear that I wasn't hugely confident going into it yesterday. Some narrow defeats, probably the most frustrating was Al Muheer at 25/1, if the racecourse had been just 50 yards longer we would have made a profit! Anyway onto today and just 1 real fancy for me then 4 from the notebook, albeit 1 looks to be punching hugely above his weight but I have to do it for the sake.

COURAGE 225 SLIGO (NAP)

This is a good horse, he just doesn't really like winning. To be fair he's pretty ironically named given the way he crumbles in a finish, but he's been running well and connections will continue to seek out suitable openings for him to get that elusive win. He's given first time blinkers today, maybe that can make the difference when he gets to the business end, hopefully though he can be nicely clear and not have to worry about a scrap. I think this horse is genuinely good enough to go on and make an impact in some decent races all apart form the allergic to winning part, come Courage old chap, show some today.

Morning, a frustrating day yesterday, 5 places from 8 nrunners! All 3 main bets were placed, just couldn't buy a winner. I have no strong fancies today, it is an incredibly open day, full of horses who could pop up. What I've done is picked out a few that matched the most filters and I've had to dutch a few in some. I'll pop them down, there is no preference where there is 2 in a race and i won't be playing the FC, I'll just pop them in alphabetical order to avoid any confusion. Hopefully we can find some winners.

Morning all, As you may have gathered there were no bets yesterday. I just couldn't see anything I particularly wanted to waste my money on. I have a couple today. I'm not really sure how to structure this. What I'm going to do is, I've got 2 I'd suggest were my main fancies, then 4 I'd suggest I believe have a decent chance. I'll pop them down but I shall not suggest how to back them, that's your choice, it's your money!

SCHOOL FEES 855 EPSOM (NAP)
This one needed the run this season then ran 2 very good races before coming unstuck over 7f last time out. She's dropped back into 6 today. She's pretty consistent, having finished in the frame on 10 of her 14 starts. In fact the times she didn't were twice the back end of last season, first run back this on the AW, and lto over 7f. Hayley Turner booked on board and she should go close.

SOVEREIGN POWER 840 BATH (Nb)
Ran a great race in victory last time out, and today jockey claims 3 of the allocated 5lb which could prove useful. He's up against an odds on Prescott running under a penalty so we're chancing a bit, but he enjoyed the run of the race last time and every chance he might get that again in a tactical small field affair.

Morning, a frustrating day yesterday. Some bad luck in running, my NAP ran out of racecourse, 8 places!!! I only have 1 bet today. Lets hope he can win.

FULL TOSS 300 AYR

This is a big drop in class for Jim Goldie's charge. Graham Lee takes the reins. He has a 33% Strike rate in class 4 races, a course and distance win to his name, after a break. Lots of factors put this one on the "to bet" list. Granted he'll have to be ready after current break to defy top weight here but every chance. He was drawn wrong side last time out in a big field handicap at Newmarket where he was only beaten home by 1 his side of the track.

Good Luck

Morning all, slight change of tact for a little while, I'm just going to put up some that I follow that fit certain credentials while I work on some things in the background. I have 6 today, this method would have found a few winners yesterday as opposed to the none that I actually put up. Going forward I'll try and get a decent blog up on weekends and big racedays.

Sunday 30-6-13

Morning, a blank yesterday, which was somewhat disappointing. We move on. I just have 3 today, which means a nice profit has been secured for June. Still well behind for the year but building on the good work this month could certainly see a happier figure down the line.

Here we go:

DUROBLE MAN 320 WINDSOR
Finished in the frame every start bar his first one, took a while to win but done it nicely when he did and would have followed up all but for another progressive horse who was bang in form. The 2 finished well clear of the others and signs that it could be a while before the handicapper really gets a tight grip on this one.

PRINCESS HIGHWAY 335 CURRAGH
I've backed her every start and she owes me nothing. I like this horse, she seemingly has lost her way a little since winning at Royal Ascot, and she has a bit of an ask handing weight to the 3yo but she has the best form in the book, if she can rekindle it.

MIJHAAR 515 CURRAGH
Went about his business very takingly on seasonal reappearance having had a little weight taken off his nether regions in the break. He's a pretty solid horse I think the trip will be fine, certainly has to prove it on quicker ground but looks a bit of value for me.

Good Luck

Saturday 29-6-13

And of course Cav to smash stage 1 of Le Tour.

I've done Tejay Van Garderen for a podium, Dan Martin Top 10, Taaramae and Izzaguirre each way for KOM, as my outrights. Looking for someone doing eachway on the teams so I can do BMC, don't think they'll win it though.

Have fun

Friday 28-6-13 Featuring Newmarket Nights for those going.

Morning all, Another blank yesterday. I'm going back to picking a few for next month, I'll start today. Mostly to see the correlation between LSPs after making a decent profit in June. I'll pop my NAP with some reasons then just list the rest. Also today, upon a few requests, there'll be a little bit for Newmarket tonight. I'm not going myself, but know a few who are and they obviously know the first place to turn to for the best tips. I'm guessing that person wasn't available though, so they've asked me. Just a double in the tennis today, although 1 of them I am waiting for anyway for a 3/4 yankee yesterday.

NAP

ANCIENT CROSS 745 NEWCASTLE

A top handicap sprinter, his only attempt over C&D was this race 2 years ago off the exact mark as today, remarkably under the same jockey. He won! He also won 3 starts ago over this trip at York, proving that the ability is still in there. He was drawn on the right side in the Wokingham at Royal Ascot but arguably didn't see out the fast 6f on that occasion. I think the drop back to 5 will suit as will the return to this track. I like this chap anyway, he owes me nothing and I'd love to see him bag another win.

NEWMARKET NIGHTS

I think tonight Newmarket are revisiting my "young adult" era with I believe Blue and Liberty X providing the entertainment. One of my flatmates when I lived in Elephant&Castle had a giant poster of Mrs Pietersen on his wall. Just thought you'd like to know that. Anyway, I'm betting 2 of these personally and you are happy to do what you want with them. But I've been asked so I shall provide. Look at me, I'm becoming the people's tipster. :-p

555 I thought GREYFRIARS CHORISTA is the interesting one here. He just needs to translate his artificial surface form onto the turf and he's well in. Decent efforts last twice have dropped his weight a pound and a very useful jockey takes off a further 5.

630 Maiden Fillies. Lamar is certainly the one to aim at, with the form of her debut being boosted nicely since. But I'm not keen on backing them when they've had a run, unless they looked like they needed that run, because they are often ridiculously short. Sure she outran her odds of 50/1 last time but why now do we believe her worthy of being a 5/4 favourite? I'm looking at the Godolphin newcomer SPELLBIND. She's very nicely bred half sister to Street Sence who was a very smart juvenile. Jockey Harry Bentley has 5 wins and 2 places in 13 rides for Godolphin.

705 I've had a bet on VALLARTA here. He's been running in better races than this so far this term and hasn't really achieved a lot. But he took some time to get going last season before landing 3rd in the Telescope maiden before winning his own next time out. He's dropped in weight too and could well bring up a race by race double for Harry Bentley.

735 Jo Hughes' LONDON BRIDGE comes here looking for a four-timer, she has turned him out quickly under a 6lb penalty but he's come along with really not doing too much to win. Ryan Moore is a huge jockey booking at a meeting like this, and while I know he's not likely come specifically for this ride, he's still very much the best around on a horse that clearly enjoys winning right now.

805 This should be between HALLELUJAH and Mar Mar. The betting and the official ratings certainly suggest that. I just think the former has achieved more so would side there, but couldn't put you off the other with arguably the better jockey of the pair.

840 I've plucked out AMOYA for this. Not been at it for a little while but a win over this trip on quick ground off 2lb higher last summer suggests something could well be round the corner. It takes a lot of rain to soften up the ground at Newmarket, a lot, I think this one has a chance at a nice price in an open race.

910 I have to have a bet on the old boy TAX FREE. This chap might have dropped down the ladder somewhat but his record speaks for itself. He actually has won on 3 of his 7 appearances at Newmarket, including the Group 3 Palace House at the Guineas meeting in 2007. He was a group class sprinter on his day and he won in August last year off 7 pounds higher so must have a chance, at least of a place.

Good Luck, Happy Punting, and if you are going to Newmarket I hope you enjoy the entertainment, or if you are old like me you live after 2 or 3 songs to beat the traffic.

Oh yeah TENNIS

:Like I said just a quick double.
