Sunday 18 May

Finally some winners, 1 in the main bets after a string of seconds and 3 down below at respectable prices. I only have 2 today. 1 I'm keen on, and 1 in with a chance, as they say.

MARINERO 515 LIMERICK
Conquered the useful Germany Calling in PTP before putting up decent figures in defeat on first 2 bumper starts. Confirmed favouritism next time out at Fairyhouse, beating a well respected newcomer in the process. The booking of leading amateur Patrick Mullins is quite the scoop at this level.

THE HOUSEKEEPER 345 LIMERICK

Good Luck and Happy Punting

Saturday 17 May

Morning all. Both main bets finished second yesterday. Frustrating. The less said about the rest the better I'd say, it was a daft idea. Right today I have 2 main again, and I'll pop down some with a chance. I have a couple of newcomers to look at today and potentially chuck into notebooks and a little footy treble for you.

ZEELA 215 THIRSK
Sets the standard here after a decent run on debut in a maiden that has produced a winner and a second from the field so far. Any improvement at all makes it difficult to see this one beat with the virtue of experience and nothing that jumps off the page in the field.

PINZOLO 405 NEWMARKET
Continued his progression last time out, after a blip in Group company on hopeless ground. He put away stablemate Sudden Wonder on debut, who has gone on to place in a Derby Trial this season. I don't know if this one can get that good but he certainly appears the type to have a little more about him than we've already seen.

Morning all. I've had a crack at all the races today. First I'll give my main selections across then I'll list.

TAC DE BOISTRON 245 YORK
Still seemingly progressing, even at 7 years old. Won the Sagaro last month very impressively and a repeat of that form will see him victorious here. Drying ground a slight concern.

PERSONAL OPINION 410 NEWBURY
Win last time out was visually quite impressive, 8lb to overcome back on grass but natural progression should see him improve enough to take this.

Morning all. I've had a think and i just dont have the time to commit a lot to this blog, certainly not as much as I used to. What I am going to do is give you a Lucky 15 each day. We'll see how it goes. I shall work out P/L based on a 1pt win and a .5pt each way, just for information purposes. Let's see if we can win some money.

Thursday 8th May

Morning, an excellent day yesterday. 2/3 main selections obliged and 2 down the page also at decent odds. You'll hear no grumbles here for a few days. I have 5 up the top today, and then a further 6 from the notebook. If it can be half as productive as yesterday I'll be happy.

STRICTLY SILVER 145 CHESTER
A poor winter on the AW has seen his mark drop to one that he proved he was perfectly capable at last term. Excuses were given for penultimate effort and every chance he needed a blow out at Newmarket on Saturday. His Suffolk Stakes run was by no means bad to be fair, and the tremendously inform Kieren Fallon maintains the ride.

SOLARMAITE 155 SOUTHWELL
Carrying a 6lb penatly for an absolute demolition job last time out. If he's still in that frame of mind then 6lb isn't enough. The way he won last week you'd probably need to add a fridge to stop him. Obviously he's a horse, a class 6 horse at that so every chance he won't be in the same frame of mind. Worth a look though.

MUTEELA 315 CHESTER
Unbeaten filly. On her last run she visually looks classier than what she's running in. Draw is a concern based on her last run but if she gets a nice break then she'll be in with a massive shout. Looks good value for the rise in weights, a progressive animal, should run really well.

MAY'S BOY 540 CARLISLE
He's done okay in 3 starts over hurdles so far. Rated at peak in the 70s, touching 80s on the flat suggests he's possibly got another 10-15lb improvement in him in this sphere. There's a potential hotpot from the McCain yard to deal with but I'm convinced the value lies within this selection.

DIXIE HIGHWAY 650 CLONMEL
Vying for favouritism on the exchanges. This son of Jeremy gave a solid account of himself on his last start leading home the also rans after trouble in running. I can see this one as a hurdling prospect in time and I think he has what it requires to travel into contention here today.

The others

Wednesday 7th May

Morning all, how are we?
I'll give you my 3 main bets, then some others. See how we go.

CHEERIO SWEETIE 145 CHESTER
She comes in with a 9lb swing for a length defeat to Mukhmal, add that to the plum draw in 1 and she looks a solid chance. I think hailing from a more fashionable stable may well have seen her odds on here so 2/1 is decent value. David Evans could well see a 1-2 here also with stablemate Charlies Star a danger drawn 3 with Chester specialist Franny Norton on board.

PRINCE OF STARS 350 CHESTER
Anyone who follows breeding has been telling anyone who'll listen that the Sea The Stars progeny will leap on at 3. This one had an ordinary debut albeit in the Wood Ditton but the yard has an excellent record in this race. Tricky draw to overcome but I feel this horse could well be the class animal lining up.

HEAVY METAL 410 BRIGHTON
The outsider of 4, this horse was rated in the hundreds not even a year ago. What a fall from grace. A Group 2 winner as a 2yo, his first win came in a maiden here. The resurgent Kieren Fallon, whose stock seems to rise and fall like bookies shares during FOBT debates lately, gets the leg up. There's no question that the horse is well in on historic form, just whether he has any love for the game left. I hope so.

The others (forgive any bad draws, they are simply notebook horses who should be fit)

Morning, I still haven't backed a winner in May! This isn't good. As a result of that I'm taking it back old school. Back to the selection process I was using when I first set out on this crusade. I'm just going to tap them down as I'm hitting the road to Newmarket shortly.

Saturday 3rd May

Good Morning, it's Guineas weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There's a monster Scoop 6 up for grabs, I'll share it with you, it's fine. I've tweeted a straight line scoop this morning. So the tips aren't really firing at the moment, my job is to rectify that. I have 9 tips today, hopefully they'll give us a run at least, and if we're really lucky maybe the first returns of the month too! So let's get to it.

ADMIRABLE DUQUE 145 GOODWOOD
CIRCUMVENT 205 NEWMARKET
MAGIC CITY 255 GOODWOOD
ZARDSKY 305 PUNCHESTOWN
SHOWBOATING 340 THIRSK
KINGMAN 350 NEWMARKET
MERITOCRACY 425 NEWMARKET
ARCTIC FEELING 520 THIRSK
LIBERTY'S GIFT 635 PUNCHESTOWN (Charity race, so likely not all bookies will take bets)

The main event of the day is the 2000 Guineas, A Group 1 for 3 year old horses run over a mile on Newmarket's Rowley Mile. Run every year since 1809 it has had a prestigious cast list over the years. Hopefully this year will prove to be no different.
Let's take a look at the main protagonists.
AUSTRALIA - Aidan O'Brien's apparent number 1, he was beat on his racecourse debut which doesn't bode well as only 2 of the last 10 winners did also. Add to that he hasn't really beaten a lot and we are reliant of visual and timing aids to assess his ability which can be deceptive at the best of times. Obviously "the lads" have had their money down but I can't advise a bet at restrictive odds, he's 94 in places. Ladbrokes being top price about a Coolmore horse is far from a positive also.
ERTIJAAL - There's 40's available in places for him and that's a squeak of value in my opinion. This is a step up from what he's achieved, but so is it for Australia and he's a best 7/2. The only difference realistically is how they've got their work done. Ertijaal has gotten his done, albeit not as visually impressive. I can't put you off chucking in a pound for a place, he's fit, he's a listed winner and he deserves to be here.
KINGMAN - The favourite, and deservedly so. His Greenham win was very impressive. James Doyle is riding out of his skin. If you had backed him blind the last 2 weeksyou'd have attained 14 winners from 39 bets and made £40 for every £1 you laid out. He comes to the race unbeaten as were the last 4 winners. He's my pick, unimaginative I know, the market tends to get this race right. They certainly have the last 4 years. Victor and Paddy are currently sticking their necks out with 15/8.
KINGSTON HILL - This horse has been subject to some interesting moves on the exchanges over the past few months, most of them negative. Trainer has come out and said that today is a run, he's a Derby horse. He is to be respected though as he comes in having won the Racing Post Trophy and the Autumn Stakes, the latter on this course over today's mile. We know he'll finish well, 14/1 is an acceptable price to chance that he's fresh enough and won't get outpaced, in my opinion.
NIGHT OF THUNDER - Richard Hannon's second string, 2nd to Kingman in the Greenham having previously been unbeaten. That was his first start for 5 months so he's entitled to come on for the that. He could outrun his odds.
NOOZOH CANARIAS - "The Spanish Frankel", the hipster's horse of choice. I know very little about this horse. I've seen the Youtube videos sure, but I have no idea what he's beaten. We do know that he ran second to Karakontie in the Grand Criterium at the back end of last term, that horse ran a very close second in a Group 3 just a couple of weeks ago.
OUTSTRIP - Breeders Cup winner, but was well put away by another lining up today in the Dewhurst. He's pretty closely matched to Toormore on form, on that basis he's well overpriced at 25/1. You'd be taking a chance on his fitness having not run for 6 months.
TOORMORE - The Hannon first string, triple Group winner landing the Vintage at Goodwood, the National in Ireland and the Craven here at Newmarket. He's certainly a player, at a sensible price too. He's never looked hugely flashy but he does seem to know how to win. Owned by the Middleham Park syndicate it'd be a nice winner in a world of billionaire Sheikhs and the like.
WAR COMMAND - Disappointed in the Phoenix Stakes after winning the Coventry, but like the mythical creature bounced back to win the Futurity at Curragh and the Dewhurst here, beating Outstrip comfortably. He may be Aidan O'Brien's second string but let's face it, he has the better jockey of the 2. He'd be my Dark Horse/Saver behind Kingman, although punters have been latching on overnight and 7's is about the best you'll get right now.

My Verdict KINGMAN to beat WAR COMMAND.

Friday 2nd May

Good Morning, not the best day yesterday. In fact, getting 3 short favourites beat possibly qualifies it to be one of the worst. Let's hope for some bouncebackability today. I have 9 to put up, hopefully we can get a run from most of them today after the sorry efforts of those yesterday. Have a lucky day and I'll be back tomorrow with tips for 2000 Guineas day.
