Morning all, pretty poor yesterday, just a couple of winners. This will be my last blog until Wednesday 7th August as I'm going away on holiday, I'll not be available as some much needed R&R is being taken. I have 6 today, a couple of newbies, 1 tennis and some footy.

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

I hope you took note of the newcomers yesterday, 16/1 and 3/1 winners and a 9/1 place, from just 5 suggested! Perhaps I should just stick to unraced 2yo!!!

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!

Wednesday 17-7-13

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.

OTHERS

SATSUMA 410 CATTERICK
JAZZ GIRL 540 KILLARNEY
FIRST POST 740 SANDOWN

Tuesday 16-7-13

Morning all, so 1 winner and, well probably not worth going into too much detail on the other! I have 2 again today.

NOVAROV 740 KILLARNEY

DR FINLEY 850 YARMOUTH (NAP)

Good Luck

Monday 15-7-13

Morning chaps, and chapesses, another bad day, this is starting to become habit. Just 2 for you all today, one won't be much of a price I'm afraid so I'm just using it to boost the other in a double.

MAUNDY MONEY 610 KILLARNEY

ARCHIE STEVENS 720 WOLVERHAMPTON

Good Luck

Sunday 14-7-13

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

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.
