215 Newcastle-Not sure whether I should be punting as todays ground will be really testing but Maarek has 2 wins & a place from 5 runs on soft/heavay ground.I think he should go well.
Back Maarek 10pts at 4.5-Won(+35pts)Saw the trip out best to win easy


335 Newmarket-Hoof it must be vulnerable here,no decent form over the trip & the trainer is out of form.Libranno will run well but preference is for Majestic Myles.
Back Majestic Myles 9pts at 5.5-3rd(-9pts)Shouldve laid Hoof it(DT+26pts)

345 Chester-Wouldnt surprise me if Zakreet ran well but Well Painted has had only 2 runs,so should have more potential.
Back Well Painted 12pts at 4.3-UP(-12pts)Bit annoying when your horse never comes off the bridle & doesnt win.Bad ride(DT+14pts)


4.0 Windsor-Needs to drift to be matched,if it does its got an outstanding chance.

Back Tajneed 20pts at 3.0-Won(+40pts)


610 Ripon-It could be that Damarcus Symphony has completely lost its way but its had 3 runs in its career over 12f on soft ground and they were its best 3 ratings,all of which would win this.
Back Damarcus Symphony 8pts at 9.0 to win & 10pts at 3.0 to place-UP(-18pts)(DT+62pts)



820 Ffos Las-This could be quite testing by the time this race is run.The only horse that will really handle the distance & ground will be Cootehill although it hasnt won in this grade before,its ratings suggest it can.

540 Worcester-With doubts about a number of these,Cresswell Bramble has stamina to prove,Direct Flo ground & class issues while the in form Wilde Ruby is 19Ib higher than its last win and has it do on my ratings,this looks best left to Mavalenta,whos clear top rated & has all the conditions it likes.
Back Mavalenta 25pts at 3.5 at Bet365-2nd(-25pts)Got outpaced then looked good at the last but just got outstayed.


840 Kempton-Fade to Grey looks solid and must run well but at a much bigger price,Im going to go with Inside Knowledge who has 2 really good runs out of 3 at this track.
Back Inside Knowledge 5pts at 17.0 at Bet365

19th June

7.0 Brighton-It doesnt win that often but Bateleur is an absolutely massive price,Cheylesmore & Waabel should be about

Back Clear Spring 15pts at 3.35-Not Matched

18th June

3.0 Wolverhampton-Really like Restless Bay here,its clear top rated & drops down into a class 6 here which its done twice before(1win & a second).A little bit Dusty can chase it home.
Back Restless Bay 25pts at 3.25-3rd(-25pts)Well backed but that was all I got right.


740 Windsor-Back over 6f and on the right ground,Italian Tom is overpriced.We have a Dream may also bounce back to form under its optimum conditions.
Back Italian Tom 7pts at 9.0-Won(+56pts)(DT+31pts)


755 Warwick-Myplacelater must go well & Im not totally certain about Set to Music but Mid Mon lady has to be backed at a big price.
Back Mid Mon Lady 10pts at 6.6-3rd(-10pts)Held up out the back in a slowly run race,Mid Mon lady had very little chance to produce its best.(DT+21pts)

530 Chepstow-Interesting low grade race in which Kens Girl has been absolutely smashed up this morning,It does love the ground & is obviously fancied to step up on this seasons efforts but ive got Shared Moment as fav ,so it has to be backed at the prices.

Back The Clyda Rover 15pts at 3.35-2nd(-15pts)(DT+7pts)


315 Folkestone-Llewellyn has an obvious chance here having produced easily the best rating last time but it is priced at odds on.There is a chance that Chandigarh can return to last season best which would easily win this.On its seasonal return it may have needed it and it was also 7f,a trip it ran poorly over last season,so back over 6f with blinkers for the first time,it may prove to be overpriced.It is a 2 horse race.
Back Chandigarh 12pts at 4.0-3rd(-12pts)

230 Worcester-Wait no more has got the best recent form and is the most consistent in this field.
Back Wait No More 12pts at 4.0-2nd(-12pts)Ran well & got done by an unexposed horse.


440 Perth-Athronan achieved an excellent rating last time although over slight further for its trainer who has a 31% strike rate with his hurdlers at this track.Im pretty certain this will shorten in the betting.
Back Athronan 16pts at 6.0(accept as low as 4.0)-UP(-16pts)Travelled well until the straight where it came off the bridle & fell in a hole,dont know if it was the ground?(DT-28pts)


5.0 Worcester-A wide open race and although inconsistent,Converti put up a better performance last time & if it could put it together again over this longer trip that it does stay then it will run well.

255 Market Rasen-One of those races where a horse produces a rating and you are not sure if you totally believe it mainly becuase it had shown nothing before it.However Harrys Whim did drop back to 2m4f and used front running tactics for the first time & the fact that its Topspeed figure was good means that it has to be backed.Anything close to last time wins easily.
Back Harrys Whim 25pts at 4.0-2nd(-25pts)Jumping was a bit iffy but didnt do much wrong,rather ironic that it got beaten by a horse that was an incredibly unlucky loser for the blog last time,Talk of Saafend.


630 Bath-Only you Maggie should run well in the conditions.
Back Only You Maggie 5pts at 12.0-UP(-5pts)Held up out the back in a very slowly run race,this horse had no chance.It done well to get as close as 5th.(DT-30pts)

625 Uttoxeter-A 3 horse race.North Stack has to prove its stamina & Roi De Garde on my ratings needs to progress again so Tribal Dance gets the vote,whos slowly improving & will like the softer ground.
Back Tribal Dance 12pts at 4.0-UP(-12pts)Ran a poor race in what looks like almost unraceable conditions.


735 Uttoxeter-Wellforth ran well over hurdles last time & should go well back over fences.
Back Wellforth 8.5pts at 7.6*N/Rs in race bet revised at 7.0)-Won(+51pts)Travelled and Jumped great,nearly won by a distance(DT+39pts)


805 Uttoxeter-Flash Harriet`s ratings are on the up and looks to have a good chance here,its price has already moved this morning but it is still value.

230 Nottingham-Nothing between Demora and Cats eyes on my ratings,so the better value Cats Eyes has to be the option.
Back Cats Eyes 14pts at 3.85-Won(+39.0pts)(DT+89pts)


315 Cartmel-Pretty poor race in which the Racing Posts states that The Black Lion wouldnt need much more to figure,on my figures it doesnt need anymore at all.If it handles this track ,it should run well.
Back The Black Lion 10pts at 7.0-UP(-10pts)Looked good until a bad mistake 3 out,another mistake at the next put paid to its chance.(DT+79pts)


740 Ripon-A similar scenario to earlier,Galician & Springheel Jack are both very closely matched on my ratings & yet are miles apart in the betting.Springheel Jack also achieved a big Topspeed figure last time.

Back Eltheeb 8pts at 8.6-UP(-8pts)Never in the race(DT+38.2pts)


425 Chepstow-George Benjamin put up its best rating last time & does have a solid run on soft ground.Arctic Mirage and Sir Bruno are the dangers.
Back George Benjamin 12pts at 4.0-Won(+36pts)Won easily & could be a progressive horse(DT+74.2pts)


530 Cartmel-Very weak race & its no good thing but ive got Oniz Tiptoes shorter in my tissue than is available,so it has to be backed.
Back Oniz Tiptoes 12pts at 4.3-2nd(-12pts)Hit the front just after the last but the extremely game winner fought back on the long run in,traded at 1.16 in running(DT+62.2pts)

Back Laughing Game 20pts at 4.5-UP(-20pts)Ran a shocker

1st June

235 Newcastle-Guga has a chance on my ratings but no more than that but its trainer/jockey combination have a 60% strike rate this season and 67%  since 2008 so it must surely be significant hes been booked for this ride.
Back Guga 5pts at 10.0-4th(-5pts)


535 Newcastle-I like a few here,Noodles Blue Boy over this CD has form figures of 2,2,1,Bronze Beau achieved a good rating last time to be top rated and Hamoody could bounce back to form on the fast ground so Head Space who I have rated better over 6f,has to taken on at the price over 5f.
Lay Head Space 50pts at 4.0-Won*Non runner so revised at 3.75(-137.50pts)Got up in the last few strides,I traded out in this race but will count it as a loser.


640 Stratford-There is a very slight question mark about the trip but Mon Chevalier has been running so well that it must go close.Jacks Grey is the danger.
Back Mon Chevalier 10pts at 5.0-2nd(-10pts)Looked the certain winner(traded at 1.16)until collared 5 strides from the line.(DT-152.50pts)
