245 Lingfield-Analysis-Triple Charm and Novellen Lad look to hold massive chances here,while Taajub needs to find some improvement from somewhere.
Lay Taajub 35pts at 5.5-UP(+35pts)
3.0 Uttoxeter-Analysis-Very few of these are proven on heavy ground.Royal Chatelier is proven and is progressive and should take the beating.
Back Royal Chatelier 12.5pts at 3.85-2nd(-12.5pts)Horse ran really well but just couldnt overhaul the winner(DT+22.5pts)
340 Newbury-Analysis-Good race in which a few could be fancied.I feel Olofi shouldnt be fav but the jockey/trainer combination worries me enough not to lay.Tenor Nivernais put up a much improved rating on very soft ground last time and if that wasnt a fluke will run well,while Torpichen reverts to hurdles after a spell over hurdles and is overpriced.
Back Tenor Nivernais 7pts at 8.0 & Torpichen 4pts at 13.0-2nd(-11pts)Torpichen looked the winner but an amazing performance by Celestial Halo denied him.(DT+11.5pts)

1220 Haydock-Analysis-On the bare evidence of my ratings,Tippering should go really close here,it stays the trip well and also handles the heavy ground.Powerful Ambition is the worry,stepping up from 2 to 3 miles and on totally different ground he has raced on so far.
Back Tippering 20pts at 3.0-2nd(-20pts)
1250 Haydock-Analysis-Mr Chippy will see this trip out really well and is also steadily improving but shouldnt need to,to win this.
Back Mr Chippy 20pts at 3.0-3rd(-20pts)
2.0 Haydock-Analysis-Looks a pretty weak affair,Tamarinbleu has a good chance but is around the right price.I dont see Tartan Snow getting home in these conditions so Camden George can go close.
Back Camden George 7.5pts at 6.4-4th(-7.5pts)Solid in the market but just couldnt go with them in the straight(DT-47.5pts)
235 Haydock-Analysis-If Jaunty Journeys jumping can hold up,he has the ratings to go close,while Captain Americo doesnt like the ground much or winning that much either.
Back Jaunty Journey 9pts at 6.4 & lay Captain Americo 35pts at 6.0-Winner won well as Captain Americo curled up.Jaunty looked a danger 2 out but raced down the worst ground for some reason(+26pts)(DT-21.5pts)

245 Kelso-Analysis-Just about everything in this race has a chance,Rolecarr was nearly big enough for a back but Badger Foot shouldnt be fav on my ratings.It has it to prove on this softer ground.Rolecarr has drifted and is value
Lay Badger Foot 35pts at 5.0-UP Back Rolecarr 5pts at 11.0-Won(+85pts)

Back Texas Holdem 8pts at 6.6 and Sotovik 5pts at 11.0-UP(-13pts)Both well beat(DT+72pts)
2.0 Southwell-Analysis-One of those races where Storm Hawk should win as it improved loads for its first run on fibresand and if it was anything around the 3/1 mark it would be a solid bet but Carnac is such a massive price it has to be backed.
Back Carnac 5pts at 13.0-UP(-5pts)Probably a wasted bet as Storm Hawk won easily.(DT+67pts)

120 Catterick-Analysis-I believe ive spotted a pattern in Bardolet`s race record where he performs at his best after a break.His best rating was achieved first time out this season and he has other good ratings after a break of at least 6 weeks or so.He is also a course and distance winner and comes into this after a break,so looks overpriced.
Back Bardolet 12pts at 5.0-4th(-12pts)Didnt really jump well enough to get involved
220 Catterick-Analysis-Lightening Rod is consistent and progressive,his ratings suggest this drop in class leaves this race at his mercy.Shadrack and Kings Grey are next best.
Back Lightening Rod 20pts at 3.0-Fell at the 2nd fence(-20pts)(DT-32pts)
140 Lingfield-Analysis-Pretty weak affair,Red Flash is slowly improving and is a danger but Avon Supreme`s run over course and distance last time would be good enough.
Back Avon Supreme 8.5pts at 5.8-UP(-8.5pts)Horse was in a good position but dropped away tamely(DT-40.5pts)
335 Leicester-Analysis-Hard to see why Grams and Ounces is such a short price.
Lay Grams and Ounces 35pts at 3.0-Won(-70pts)(DT-110.5pts)
250 Catterick-Analysis-This is posted late because of the fav becoming a non runner.On Gossamer Wings produced a good rating last time that should be good enough.
Back On Gossamer Wings 25pts at 3.0-2nd(-25pts)Looked the winner nearly all the way but Doberdan showed some improvement to deny him.(-25pts)(DT-135.5pts)
620 Wolverhampton-Analysis-Competitive race,Knowe Head,Strike Force,John Potts and the gambled on Spes Nostra could all be called dangers but ive got Yourinthewill as fav,so ive got to do it at the current price.

130 Chepstow-Analysis-Glenwood Knight has lost his way because of some poor jumping,however last time he showed he was on the way back and at a big price,could goi close.Pleu Pouvoir is a danger as is Quincy Des Pictons.
Back Glenwood Knight 5pts at 12.0-UP(-5pts)Didnt jump well and never put in the right race by his seriously overrated jockey.
150 Southwell-Analysis-C P Joe is obviously progressing and must go well while Bivouac is a course specialist but these 2 are both a little shorter than I have them.Ostentation has 2 runs here(a win and a 3rd) and if he shows a little improvement from his seasonal debut last time then hes right in the mix.
Back Ostentation 6pts at 10.0-UP(-6pts)Really well backed into around the price I had it but never looked comfortable and didnt get home it seemed.(DT-11pts)
205 Kempton-Analysis-It was a bit of a shock to see Kentford Grey Lady so short in the betting,shes obviously improving but has a lot to find with Whoops a Daisy and Violin Davis.
Back Violin Davis 7pts at 7.0 -3rd(-7pts)Ran well and once again it shortened up in the betting but the winner is improving fast.(DT-18pts)
310 Kempton-Analysis-Very competitive race.Promising Anshan looks a bit short but I dont fancy laying a Paul Nicholls horse.Fortification is back to form and is a big danger but Fruity O`Rooney can hopefully get on the lead and make them all go.
Back Fruity O`Rooney 6pts at 13.0-Won(+72pts)As good a ride as you will ever see,one by one they fell(some of them literally)away as the horse just kept fighting them off.Brilliant!(DT+54pts)

This is the majority of the selections for a very busy day but there may be more as the markets settle down.
205 Fontwell-Analysis-Run to Fly is a solid fav but Miss Fleur should be about at the finish in what i make a 2 horse race.
Back Miss Fleur 9pts at 5.3-Won(+38.7pts)Absolutely bolted up
315 Fontwell-Analysis-Sawago should run well but is pretty unreliable.Daneva isnt far behind and is more consistent.
Back Daneva 9pts at 6.0-3rd(-9pts)Top rated Sawago won well,Daneva was in there until 2 out but couldnt go with the front 2.(DT+29.7pts)
345 Fontwell-Analysis-None of the runners have totally convinced on heavy ground but Bon Spiel has some good ratings on soft and may be good enough.
Back Bon Spiel 11pts at 4.3-3rd(-11pts)The winner appeared to improve for the much softer ground.Bon Spiel could only plug on at one pace(DT+18.7pts)
120 Huntingdon-Analysis-Badgers Retreat has its handicap debut and if it could repeat its latest run,its well overpriced,Spanish Cruise and Vertueux are respected but i dont see Cool Steel as fav.
Back Badgers Retreat 7pts at 9.0-UP Lay Cool Steel 35pts at 5.0-UP(+46.7pts)
225 Huntingdon-Analysis-As long as Laneguy can produce its last rating,it will take a lot of beating.
Back Laneguy 25pts at 3.0-4th(-25pts)Betting told the story as Laneguy was a bit weak while the winner was very well backed.The selection just didnt jump well enough.(DT+21.7pts)
135 Market Rasen-Analysis-This marathon race looks ideal for Wide Receiver,its a very progressive horse with a series of ratings that put it well on top.
Back Wide Receiver 25pts 3.0-Won(+50pts)Jumped great and won easily(DT+74.7pts)
115 Wetherby-Analysis-Trojan Gift is another unexposed horse running in its first handicap.Once again if it can take its novice ratings into handicap company then its a big price.
Back Trojan Gift 5pts at 9.0-UP(-5pts)Didnt run a bad race but just weakened out of it before the last.(DT+69.7pts)
120 Towcester-Analysis-Tiger Lines consistent ratings on this ground and over a little bit further should seem go close on this stiff track.Halucha is the obvious danger while Washington Road is stepping up in trip.
Back Tiger Lines 10pts at 7.0-UP(-10pts)There was money for Tiger Lines but he surprisingly couldnt pick up late when I thought he wouldve been at its strongest.(DT+59.7pts)
155 Towcester-Analysis-Phar Again,Sawpit Supreme and Bohemian Rock are tightly matched and it wouldnt be a surprise if one of them won but Pensnett Bay ran well on its chasing debut and the drop back in trip should suit.Phar Again has drifted so can be backed
Back Pensnett Bay 6pts at 10.0-Won & Phar Again 7pts at 8.0-UP(+43pts)(DT+102.7pts)Typically the later bet on Phar Again proved a waste as the original selection ran as expected.
105 Wincanton-Analysis-It wouldnt be the biggest surprise if it ran below par but its last time out rating and ebing a course winner that will like the ground means Moon over Miami has to be backed.
Back Moon Over Miami 7pts at 6.6-4th(-7pts)One of those ones where you watch it expecting not a lot and thats what you got.Such an in and out horse that i really shouldnt be wasting money on.(DT+95.7pts)
250 Wincanton-Analysis-Although it stays further than this ,Drybrook Bedouin can cope back in trip and is a big price.Shaking hands is the clear danger
Back Drybrook Bedouin 5pts at 12.0-UP(-5pts)Poor run ,lost touch early and was never in the hunt at any stage.(DT+90.7pts)
325 Ffos Las-Analysis-Frontier Spirit is improving but needs to again on my ratings to beat Oscar Gogo.
Back Oscar Gogo 9pts at 5.7-Won(+42.3pts)Tremendous ride from Adam Wedge saw him gain 4 lengths after the last and njut Frontier Spirit right on the line.(DT+133.0pts)
330 Wolverhampton-Analysis-Tornado Force is progressive but so is Woop Woop and is the value call.
Back Woop Woop 12pts at 4.3-2nd(-12pts)Tornado Force won in the style of very progressive horse.(DT+121.0pts)
330 Wetherby-Analysis-Fiercely competitive,Arrow Barrow,Sophonie,Dzesmin and Chucklemiss all have solid claims,behind them is Ananda Kanda so dont see his position as fav.

210 Kempton-Analysis-Emmas Gift ran well last time but that added to his other good ratings over 1mile.It has 2 much lower ratings over todays trip and doesnt deserve to be fav on them.
Lay Emmas Gift 35pts at 4.2***3 non runners now***
The market shape has changed now with the above selection now being available at 4.3 which is after all the non runners more the price it should be.So the selections have changed.
Back Daring Indian 10pts at 5.5-Won(+45pts) & Beginnings 5pts at 10.5-UP(-5pts)(+40pts)
225 Carlisle-Analysis-Fair Spin has some good ratings over course and distance and hopefully should run well.Its very hard to see why Laureate des Loges has been backed this morning,its looks a bad price but im reluctant to lay because of the market support.

12.40 Haydock-Analysis-Everyone get their prayer mats out and pray that this meeting is on because this is a very solid bet.The selection handles the ground and should just outclass the opposition.
Back Stormy Weather 25pts at 3.0(3.5 is available on Friday evening)-2nd(-25pts)Gifted the winner an easy 10 length lead and could never bridge the gap.
125 Ascot-Analysis-Renard is a solid fav and must go well but although there is a slight doubt about the ground,Lancetto is a consistent horse and has some form on it.
Back Lancetto 6pts at 9.0-Fell(-6pts)(DT-31pts)
240 Newcastle-Analysis-Hopefully the 2 chase debutants arent up to much,the betting suggests they are not.So Saddle Pack looks to have strong claims.

3.0 Leicester-Analysis-I can only see 1 possible danger to the selection,Christopher Wren is unexposed over hurdles and is stepping up in trip,so may well improve for that but on my ratings,he needs to.If Fiendish Flame can run anywhere near his last run,he should win.
Back Fiendish Flame 25pts at 3.0-4th(-25pts)Got hassled for the lead early by the winning owners 2nd horse in the race and trying to get away from that horse told late on.
330 Leicester-Analysis-Although hes getting on a bit,Marked Man is very consistent and should run his race.Key Cutter looks the main danger with Forty Five having to prove himself on firm ground.
Back Marked Man 15pts at 4.0-3rd(-15pts)(DT-40pts)Marked Man jumped well but just couldnt keep up when his younger opponents kicked 2 out.

115 Wetherby-Analysis-Simonside is a decent favourite but My Arch will prove a tough opponent as the step up in trip will suit him while Rossmore Lad on my ratings needs to progress by at least 7Ib to have any chance.

Back Kilcommon Pride 40pts at 2.5-UP(-40pts)-A below par run and a bit of a lesson for me for going under my ceiling price.Dont know whether it was the extreme conditions that the race was run in,as the ground was bottomless.The selection had won on soft but this was very heavy ground and he was struggling before the home turn.

Back Oscar Prairie 16pts at 3.5-PU(-16pts)Just another terrible run for a horse that went off joint fav,so it wasnt only me that thought it would run well.Never travelling or jumping at any point.
12.20 Newbury-Analysis-This is one of those races where after it you think,why did I waste money on that(nothing new there on recent evidence!!) but I cant let Double Dizzy go at this price.It ran really well last time and does have ratings over the ground and distance to win this.It should stay on strongly.
Back Double Dizzy 6pts at 10.0-4th(-6pts)Horse ran quite well and there was money for it but just couldnt respond near the end.
1235 Newcastle-Analysis-Although not the strongest of races,I cant see why Dollar Mick should so short in the betting.He has no great record first time out and his trainer is struggling for winners.

235 Doncaster-Analysis-Pretty wide open race with Chase debutant AccordingtoLawrence heading the market,however the ground providing it stays quick will be pretty lively for it.Quicuyo is solid but the overpriced one is Zorro De La vega who has been generally very consistent.
Back Zorro De La Vega 6pts at 10.0-UP(-6pts)There was money for it but Quicuyo won very well.
225 Musselburgh-Analysis-Another race where there a few with chances but once again Ive got to go for the overpriced one in my opinion,which is High Bird Humphrey who goes well under these conditions.
Back High Bird Humphrey 7pts at 8.0-UP(-7pts)Was never really in it
4.0 Wolverhampton-Analysis-If he can overcome his wide draw then Prince James should take a lot of beating.
Back Prince James 9pts at 5.5-UP(-9pts)(DT-22pts)
740 Wolverhampton-Analysis-Although I respect his consistency,I cant have Tarooq as fav.Theres a host of chances against it,Munsarim is very strong but not a big enough price to back,Isleman and Change the subject ,Bakoura and Follow the flag all ran well last time while Star Links loves it here.

4.0 Taunton-Analysis-Milly Malone appears to have loads in its favour here,its clear top rated for me and has a progressive profile.
Back Milly Malone 25pts at 3.0-UP(-25pts)Held up off a slow pace,he was out of his ground when the sprint for home started but it never picked up anyway.very surprised how poorly this ran.

705 Kempton-Analysis-I like Tislaam and Sermons Mount in this.There has been a big move for Ocean Legend today and that has to be respected as well from a gambling stable but hopefully Sermons Mount can prevail.

215 Ludlow-Analysis-Im not certain likely fav Wessex King will improve much for his comeback run,Blindspin will run well if he gets round but thats a big`if`.Wester Ross is pretty consistent and hopefully should run really well.
Back Wester Ross 10pts at 6.0-Won(50pts)-This is whats supposed to happen,a horse that I identiified as overpriced gets well backed(2/1 sp) and hoses up.
310 Kempton-Analysis-Ive got this down as a 3 horse race,Pickamus and Midnight Appeal are much respected but purely on value grounds,Inside Dealer looks too big a price.
Back Inside Dealer 11pts at 5.0-2nd(-11pts)(DT+39pts)-Dont know what I prefer ,a horse to run nowhere or one that jumps into the lead,kicks clear and then gets caught right near the line.It was still a good call.

330 Huntingdon-Analysis-Carrickmines has a chance if it runs anything like its chase form but its 0/17 over hurdles,Iris`s Flyer must go close but is the right price while Lady Karabaya is still unexposed and doesnt need to improve over this trip to win.

250 Ascot-Analysis-Ive decided rather than lay Restezen D`amour,we should back 2 horses instead,Piraya is best fresh and has the ratings to win if it wans to,while Mr Crystal has 3 solid runs over fences that put him bag there.
Back Mr Crystal-UP 6pts at 9.0 & Piraya 5.5pts at 8.4-3rd(-11.5pts)I guess I should have done the lay,although my view that Piraya was overpriced was correct.
320 Ascot-Analysis-This feels like a really strong bet,as long as Swing Bill runs something like his most recent run and he is a pretty consistent horse,then he should take a world of beating.
Back Swing Bill 20pts at 4.5-3rd(-20pts)Horse ran well and traded at 1.5 in running but all in all,I really thought this would win.
505 Kempton-Analysis-Dont understand why Sand Owl is fav,its below 3 or 4 for me and does not even have a good draw.
Lay Sand Owl 35pts at 5.7-UP(+35pts)(DT+3.5pts)
545 Wolverhampton-Analysis-Only 3 or 4 that can be fancied,Michael`s Nook is very short,Silver Wind should go well and Violets Gift is unexposed but Fault,although a bit unreliable,ran really well last time and anything like that would win this.
Back Fault 7pts at 7.0-3rd(-7pts)(DT-3.5pts)This horse got a terrible ride,held up and got boxed in when the first 2 kicked clear then brought down the inside when it did get out.

330 Warwick-Analysis-Shannons Boy and Ukrainian Star are both very prominent in the betting but Hever Road has produced a series of solid runs and this trip should be ideal.
Back Hever Road 9.5pts at 5.3-Won(40.85pts)Hever Road jumped really well and relished the trip as the front 2 pulled well clear,he could easily go in again given the same circumstances.
710 Kempton_Analysis-This is a 3 horse race in my opinion.Citrus Star got a good rating on his AW debut(not at this track though) and is respected,whilst Primaeval is a very solid yardstick but Kakatosi is unbeaten on the AW and goes very well fresh,added to being top of my ratings,top jockey William Buick travels for just this one ride.

330 Plumpton -Analysis-4 runner event in which Shernaz is a strong fav and he certainly has a good chance but I have Kaycee only just behind it on my ratings and the gap in the prices is too big.
Back Kaycee 14pts at 4.0-Fell(-14pts)Mistake just as it was challenging 3 out was costly and he came down at the last when in 2nd.
250 Leicester-Anaysis-The selection has been over fences recently and returns to hurdles on a good handicap mark,it appears to have only the short priced fav to beat.
Back Rory Boy 10pts at 5.5-2nd(-10pts)(DT-24pts)Horse drifted all day so was a bad call on value grounds.It got outpaced and stayed on strongly to snatch 2nd.Certainly needs a step up in trip.
350 Leicester -Analysis-Doyenne Dream most go close if he can continue his steady improvement in ratings,the only slight niggle is that hes yet to win a race from 10 attempts.
Back Doyennes Dream 11pts at 4.5-4th(-11pts)(DT-35pts)Horse never travelled at any point and was never going to win
310 Wolverhampton-Analysis-Dark Dune looked unlucky last time but every horse considered that always start a shorter price than they should be,Castlemorris King and Sand Skier are 2 tough opponents.
Lay Dark Dune 35pts at 5.0-Won(-140pts)(DT-175pts)Suddenly just hit a very costly poor run with the lays after a really good run but will definitely scale it back now after today.

Lay Bally Legend 35pts at 5.7-Won(-164.5pts)Obviously a rubbish call,not only the fact that it won but it was well backed all day and went off much shorter than the advised lay.Finding it pretty tough this month but laying winners will always put you right back.Got a day off work tomorrow so hopefully can get back on track.

850 Wolverhampton-Analysis-Few that can be fancied,McCool Bananas has a good chance on ratings but a poor draw,whilst Nine Rose has a chance back to a mile but has never won,so Gazboolou although not a prolific winner has been consistent enough to hopefully get his head in front here.
