155 Market Rasen-This is very weak and at a massive price,I feel Inside Knowledge could go well.Only had 6 runs over hurdles and produced a good ratings and topspeed figure last time when looking like it needed further,which it does today.

Brother Scott is the obvious danger while Rain Mac should be a much bigger price than it is.

Back Inside Knowledge 7pts at 17.0 at Betvictor(Accept 6.0)-5th(-7pts)Got totally outpaced until staying on.Defintely needs further!

9.0 Bath-Shirleys Pride is progressive with 3 wins and a 2nd this season and doesnt look like its finished yet.

Batchworth Lady has been in good form while Sibaya makes its handicap debut and may improve.

Edged Out probably needs further and faster ground.

Back Shirleys Pride 8pts at 5.7-Not Matched

4.0 Catterick-Meandmyshadow did everything bar win last time,just getting nailed on the post.Top rated on that and with the best speed figure in the race,this horse should go close and it likes a recent run(7 days or less 2w-2p-5r)

Course Specialist Lucky Numbers is respected back up in trip

Back Meandmyshadow 7pts at 8.4-Won(+51.8pts)Being on the speed  is vital at this track and this horse stayed on strongly.(+44.8pts)

410 Hamilton-Chester Aristocrat is the obvious fav and should run very well but at a bigger price,I wonder if The Nifty Fox could bounce back at a value price.A course and distance winner that gets the cheek pieces fitted for the first time this season may indicate a better run is expected but what really interests me is its record in fields of 9 or less,which is 8 wins/7 places from 26 runs against a record of just 1 win from 70 starts when facing a field of 10 or more.It hasnt faced a small field such as this in its last 7 runs and last summer recorded a 2nd,1st and 1st in its 3 runs in small fields.Looks a value price to me.

Back The Nifty Fox 6pts at 11.0 at betvictor(Accept 8.0)-5th(-6pts)Poor run continues but this actually ran better than the betting suggested.After initial support,it drifted badly but looked a danger a furlong out before weakening.

29th May

2.0 Nottingham-Jofranka looks very progressive from a red hot stable and should take all the beating.Seven of Clubs looks the only danger.

Back Jofranka 25pts at 3.0(Accept 2.5)-Won(Not matched pre race)Got matched in running(touched 3.6) which was very surprising as it always looked to me the winner.Pre race, the non runners killed off any hopes off being matched.

805 Beverley-Hamza and Heerat have this between them on my ratings with Bear Behind in the first time hood,next best.Face the Problem hasnt got anywhere near last seasons best so far and its profile shows (Before July 0w-1p-7r) the reason why.It does have 1 good speed figure on heavy ground so if  the ground went that way,I would consider trading out.

Lay Face the Problem 30pts at 6.0-UP(Wasnt Matched)

If not matched pre race then leave in running providing Hamza,Heerat and Bear Behind are in the line up and the ground hasnt turned very soft.

415 Fontwell-Full of Joy is top rated on its last run and its stable are in good form.Upton Mead is a very consistent animal and is at its best when carrying under 10st7(4w-0p-7r).Course specialist Venetian Lad(4 wins from 14 runs) is always to be respected around here while Rossmore Lad drops in class and should go well.

Crannaghmore Boy needs to find a few pounds to trouble those mentioned.Jamie Moore looks a decent booking but is only 2/63 when riding for this yard who also have gone 245 days without a winner.

Lay Crannaghmore Boy 30pts at 6.0-UP(Rossmore Lad non runner so cancelled lay)(DT=)Very unproductive day!

If not matched pre race then leave in running providing Full Of Joy,Upton Mead and Rossmore Lad are in the field

28th May

535 Leicester-A field of mainly exposed,out of form or stamina to prove horses except for Tahaf,who is improving and its seasonal debut saw easily the best rating achieved in this race plus an excellent topspeed figure.Granted luck in running,it should win.

Back Tahaf 20pts at 3.0(accept 2.75)-UP(-20pts)

620 Lingfield-If So is an improving sprinter and may do so again to win this race but Night Trade bounced back to form last time,posting the top rating and the best speed figure.It has the favoured rail draw and is 5w-2p-12r in fields of 9 or less on turf.

Its definitely the value in this race

Back Night Trade 16pts at 5.0 at Ladbrokes(Accept 4.0)-UP(-16pts)The ground went against both selections and they both ran poorly in keeping with the last week(DT-36pts)

305 Cartmel-Storming Gale wants a sharp,left handed track and this strong traveller should be right at home on this unique track.The light rain showers forecast should be ideal,the trainer is 30% with his chasers here and it looks overpriced.

Indian Groom looks better at shorter and is 0w-2p-11r going left handed.Temple Lord is very consistent but struggles to win.Diamond Frontier is probably the biggest danger but enters the unknown over this trip.

Epee Celeste is difficult to assess accurately but is 2/3 at this track.

Back Storming Gale 9pts at 8.5 at Betvictor(Accept 5.5)-UP(-9pts)Unusually didnt travel or jump well enough.

26th May

440 Fontwell-Theres obviously a slight concern about taking Dark Energy`s rating from his claiming hurdle win last time but the topspeed figure was excellent and it could be just another horse that is hitting form for its very in form trainer.

Jaja De Jau is very unexposed and with their stable,you will know if its fancied or not

Back Dark Energy 12pts at 4.3 at Betvictor(Accept 3.75)-UP(-12pts)

25th May

610 Ffos Las-This is as weak as it gets.The fact Romney Marsh is fav with a chase record of 1/25 and a trainer that hasnt had a winner for over 100 days says it all.I Can Run Can You is wildly inconsistent.Petroupetrov should run ok in this company but is without a win since 2010.

The one that interests me is Fromthetop ,whos done nothing in its 3 runs since joining this yard but gets the cheekpieces/Tongue tie combination on its return from a break and on its handicap debut.On its some of its form in Ireland,it ratings stand out in this race.

For me easily the biggest danger is Forever my Friend ,who back on good ground and for a yard going well,could run well if fit after a break but Fromthetop is the bigger price and the value call.

Back Fromthetop 7pts at 8.0 at Bet365(Accept 6.0)-3rd(-7pts)Smashed in all day and went off at 2/1 but just didnt jump well enough.

715 Ffos Las-Ruler of All ran its best race for a while just 2 days ago and if recovered,it should go very close.It clearly likes to carry big weights against lesser opponents(11st + 2w-2p-6r) and over this trip is 2w-2p-7r.

I have most of the others rated near each other although Super Collider`s trainer is in good form and is 2w-1p-5r going left handed but Dark and Dangerous is 0w-2p-10r in this class of race.

Back Ruler of All 12pts at 7.0 at Bet365(Accept 5.0)-2nd(-12pts)Joke race after 5 of the 8 hurdles were omitted due to the low sun.Ruler of All hit the front tanking along(hit 1.4 in running) and its amateur spent most of the straight looking around only to be collared 1/2 a furlong out.(DT-19pts)

245 Yarmouth-See the Storm hasnt finished out of the 1st 2 in its last 8 runs.It wont mind what the weather does and this dual course and distance looks nailed on to run well.

Olney Lass and Relentless Harry look the dangers.

Back See the Storm 13pts at 4.0 at Paddys(Accept 3.75)-4th(-13pts)Got to be a below par run.

355 Yarmouth-Jonnie Skull is fav but I have it a few pounds behind Brown Pete and its also not certain to appreciate any rain the course may have.Gift of Silence may improve for the step up to a mile and looks the main danger although Hail Promenader isnt out of it.

The selection is the consistent Brown Pete,who possibly hit the front too soon last time but still achieved a good rating.It has run at this track 3 times(2nd-1st-1st)with both wins over todays trip.

Back Brown Pete 10pts at 6.0 at Paddys(Accept 5.0)-3rd(-10pts)Ran well and looked like it was coming to win(touched 2.0 in running) but surprisingly flattened out near the finish)(DT-23pts)

22nd May

3.0 Lingfield-Quite an open race and Hurakan looks a decent price.It achieved its best rating last time since it won last July and It clearly likes a small field(8 runners or less finishing position 1st,2nd,3rd,1st,1st,1st,2nd,2nd,6th).

Highly Likely broke its maiden tag last time but on the AW and so far it hasnt been as good on turf while Foxhaven although a winner last time,needs to find a few pounds with the selection and is 11years old now.

Steely ran poorly on its reappearance but does have a rating from last season that puts it right there but it really does need to have come on a lot for the run.

Back Hurkan 9pts at 6.0 at Paddys(Accept 4.5)-4th(-9pts)Strong in the market but ran a disappointing race.Possibly went too fast in front,as the other horse that disputed the lead finished last.

605 Towcester-Moscow Mule was dropped in trip last time and produced a shock victory over Tom O`Tara.The topspeed figure suggests it wasnt a fluke and both horses although inconsistent may run well again although Tom O-Tara is 0w-3p-13r going right handed.

Crack at Dawn is another horse thats in and out but its run 2 starts back would give it a chance.

Howvever The consistent Kayfton Pete looks the value call.Clear top rated on its run last time on its debut for this inform stable,it should run well.

Back Kayfton Pete 15pts at 4.0 at Bet365/BetVictor(Accept 3.5)-UP(-15pts)Shocked how this run.Got left a bit at the start and looked to be pulling a bit.Kept looking like it was about to involved but then dropped back a bit.Kept wide thoughout,god knows why?

20th May

320 Newton Abbot-Pretty good race and I like Smalib Monterg.Its Clear top rated and wont mind which way the weather goes.

The trainer has won with 3 of his last 12 runners and it ran an excellent race last time in a higher grade and in a big field.Interestingly its record isnt that great in fields of 10+(1w-5p-18r),so back down in class and in a field of 9 or less(3w-0p-5r) It may even be able to produce a better rating.Its also 1/1 here

Union Saint is improving but drops in trip and is 0/4 at this track.Special Account is unexposed and unbeaten in 2 runs here but will need to improve a fair bit to beat the selection while Kylenoe Fairy has a chance on its exploits around here 2 years ago(3/4 at the track) but its 0w-0p-6r returning after 40 days from the track and the trainer is out of form.

Back Smalib Monterg 25pts at 3.0 at Paddys(Accept 2.5)-Won(+50pts)Got the job done but was quite tight in the end.Clearly Union Saint is improving fast as well.

330 Newmarket-I feel theres too bigger a gap in the prices between Dundonell and Baltic Knight and the latter is the value.Its 3w-1p-4r over this trip and posted the best topspeed figure in this race last time when holding off a subsequent winner.It looks a progressive horse.

Dundonell had a very good season as a 2yo but was a little below par first time out this season.

Music Master could be anything although it has a lot to find.

Back Baltic Knight 12pts at 4.5 at Paddys-3rd(-12pts)The prices moved closer as the race drew near.I feel the ground speeding up cost it as it clearly got outpaced before staying on strongly.

350 Newbury-Purely on my ratings,I find it hard to believe Declaration of War is the price it is.It leaves some nice value elsewhere and I like Farhh,who has won on its seasonal debut on each of the last 3 seasons.The stable have been slow to get going but had a winner on Friday and it looks a very big price.

Cityscape looks the main danger on my figures with Beauty Parlour next.

Back Farhh 15pts at 6.0 at Ladbrokes(Accept 4.3)-Won(+67.5pts *1 N/R*)As the ratings suggested,Farhh was in a different league.(DT+55.5pts)

415 Bangor-Rime Avec Gentile and Scoglio should both go well but at a much bigger price,theres a chance Gud Day could go well.Some of its recent runs can be excused(Very soft ground and wrong trip) and back over 2mile on good ground could see it run to the ratings it showed the last time it had those conditions last Autumn.If it does then it has a massive chance.

Its ok on good to soft but anything softer would be worry.The inform trainer is 33% with his hurdlers here.

So far on my ratings,Smadynium has to improve on what its achieved so far.

Back Gud Day 6pts at 10.0 at Paddys(Accept 6.0)-2nd(-6pts)What can you say?The horse is backed all the way down to 15/8 favourite and trades at 1.05 in running,only to be nutted inside the final 50 yards.(DT+49.5pts)

Todays selection was a non runner

16th May

640 Ludlow-Rockiteer didnt run great on its first outing for 6 months in a field of 13 runners.It hasnt got a great record fresh,so it may have needed it and as its much better in todays size field(0-9 runners 5w-2p-19r)(10-15 runners 0w-3p-18r),perhaps it could well outrun its price.Good ground is ideal and the trainer is in good form.

Billie Magern and the unexposed Point Blank are the main dangers

Back Rockiteer 5pts at 13.0 at Bet365(Accept 10.0)-4th(-5pts)Called the market correct as it was well backed but Billie Magern always looked like it had it covered.

350 York-Polski Max is on a roll and the forecast rain is firmly in its favour.

Back Polski Max 8pts at 6.0 at various bookies-4th(-8pts)Ran a poor race

330 Perth-Hawaii Klass is a bit in and out but its recent 2nd behind Badgers Retreat is solid form with that horse following up last Friday.Its 2w-1p-7r when returning to the track within 28 days and 2/6 over this trip.

Bow School could bounce back after 2 recent spins over hurdles while Gleann Na Ndockais is very consistent and should be thereabouts.

Eyre Apparent Pulled up last time and is 0w-0p-8r after a break of over 41 days.

Back Hawaii Klass 13pts at 5.0 at betvictor(Accept  4.3)-Won(+52pts)

Lay Eyre Apparent 30pts at 6.0-UP(+30pts)Hawaii Klass stayed on strongly and clearly,the Badgers Retreat form is decent.

515 Perth-Flaming Arrow makes its handicap debut but needs to step up to match Johnny Delta,whos been pretty consistent so far and is 2w-0p-3r in fields of 9 or less.

Counsel goes well on a left handed track and is a danger as is Lone Foot Laddies who is 1/1 at this track.

Back Johnny Delta 11pts at 5.5 at Bet365(Accept 4.0)-2nd(-11pts)Looked the winner(Touched 1.72 in running) but couldnt reel in Bow Badger.(DT+58pts)

250 Wincanton-On its 5th start over hurdles,Present Accepted`s form took a leap forward with a decent 2nd in a maiden hurdle.It now makes its handicap debut,up in trip and anything remotely close to that run wins this easily.Its topspeed figure was solid in the context of this race also.

Chilworth Screamer is clear 2nd best with the consistent Lady Bridget next.Finmerello has consistently achieved a rating so far that doesnt beat any of the 3 mentioned and its trainer is just 3/47 with his hurdlers here.

Lay Finmerello 30pts at 5.0(Lay upto 6.0)-2nd(+14pts)

320 Wincanton-Thomas Wild is improving over fences and should go well with the forecast rain in its favour.The selection has made the frame in both previous outings at this track and is 2w-1p-5r in fields of 9 or less.

If the ground stays fast then I can see Nom De Guerrre going well.Addiction needs to improve on what its done so far while Financial Climate steps into unknown territory trip wise.

Back Thomas Wild 9pts at 5.5 at betvictor(Accept 5.0)-3rd(-9pts)(DT+5pts)

550 Southwell-This is quite tight ratings wise but theres no way Run Along Boy should be where it is in the betting.Ive got it top rated with 2 excellent topspeed figures in its last 3 runs.It probably doesnt win as often as it should but both its career wins have been in small fields.

Furrows is right there ratings wise but is 0w-1p-7r on left handed tracks.Prolinx ran a shocker last time so Chiquilline is probably the main danger with its last run being very well franked by subsequent 3 time winner,Haar.

6.0 Towcester-Queen of Mantua is fav for his in form trainer and may well improve for the step up in trip but I would prefer to see it prove itself first especially as its a short price although it is 2/4 at this track.

Theophrastus performed very well on its return after a lengthy absence and as its 3 career wins have come when returning to the track within 28 days,I think we could see better today.Also 3w-1p-11r going right handed compared to 0w-0p-5r left handed and 3w-0p-8r in class 4 races.

River D`or has a rating that could win this but is much better after a more recent run than today(29days or more 0w-1p-11r)

Noble Witness looks third best on my ratings.

Back Theophrastus 10pts at 5.0 at Betvic(Accept 4.3)-UP(-10pts)Weak in the market pre race and ran poorly.

12th May

3.0 Plumpton-Heavy rain is forecast,so ive rated the race assuming the ground will change.This race is wide open but Leg Iron could go well.Its had excuses for a few poor runs(Mainly when fresh) but when its run again fairly quickly,it always achieves a good rating.

Franlin Roosevelt ran poorly last time but would have a chance on its previous run.

Ballyvoneen goes well here(3w-1p-5r) but is very inconsistent while Old Dreams is stepping up in trip but is unexposed.

Back Leg Iron 8pts at 7.4-2nd(Wasnt Matched)

430 Plumpton-Once again,the rain may play a part as fav Brody Blue appeared to greatly improve last time back on fast ground.The horse it beat that day was Adrenalin Flight,who wont mind what the weather does and the extra furlong is in its favour.

Chestnut Ben is much better at shorter while Upton Mead has a decent profile but was beaten a long way last time.

Back Adrenalin Flight 9pts at 6.4-3rd(Another not matched)

330 Worcester-Gallox Bridge has only had 3 runs over fences and despite falling last time,looks pretty progressive.Its interesting that all 3 runs so far have been right handed when it has a 3w-0p-6r record going left handed.Also after a break of 41 days or more its 3w-1p-6r.One small negative is the trainers horses have been a bit in and out.

On my ratings despite being consistent,Kings Grey has to improve again so Woolcombe Folly looks a danger along with Rajnagan who has a very solid profile(May/June 5w-1p-6r) (Left Handed 7w-op-9r)

Back Gallox Bridge 8pts at 6.5 at William Hill/BetVictor-UP(-8pts)Ran poorly.

305 Hexham-This is wide open with doubt surrounding many of the runners.Or`Doudairies ran well last time but is 0w-3p-15r in fields of 9 or less and hasnt won since 2009.

Civil Unrest also doesnt like small fields(0w-1p-8r) and before its run last time,had run up form figures of P,U,P.

Sergeant Pink seems to only win during the winter months and is 0w-0p-10r on good or faster ground.

So that brings us to Papa Caruso whos 1/1 at this course and may well be better on this better ground.

Back Papa Caruso 8pts at 7.5 at bet365(Accept 6.5)-3rd(-8pts)Called the market correct as it moved right into 4.0 but just made too many jumping errors.Only beaten by 2 lengths,so any more fluency in its jumping and im pretty sure it wouldve won.

10th May

255 Market Rasen-Badgers Retreat looks like it needs fast ground.Its best 2 runs over hurdles were on good ground and it encountered that ground for the first time on its latest start over fences when winning over slightly further than todays trip.My only slight reservation is that its best runs have all been at Sedgefield but im hoping its more the ground it ran on than the track.

Special Robon looks the main danger as Kings Grace looks like it needs softer ground.

Back Badgers Retreat 19pts at 3.25 at Bet365(Accept 2.75)-Won(+42.75pts)Drfited to a very attractive 3/1 after surprising support for Kings Grace.

535 Southwell-Kykate is pretty solid and should go well but Thats the Deal has a decent record at this track(2wins from 5 runs) and put up a good rating last time,it looks decent value against the fav.

The Black Baron has a rating that would put it right there but is 0w-2p-13r after a break of over 15 days.

Clouded Thoughts has been very inconsistent and looks like it wants further.

Back Thats The Deal 10pts at 5.0 at Paddys(Accept 4.0)-2nd(-10pts)Ran well but surprised the jockey sat in behind a weakening front runner rather going round it(Its not like he was riding Frankel).probably wouldnt have got there anyway but...

635 Southwell-Accessallareas encountered fast ground for the first time last time and put up the top rated performance,The good topspeed figure suggests there may be more to come.The trainer has also had 2 winners from her last 7 runners.

Mount Welcome is unexposed over fences but is 0w-1p-9r when returning to the track within 14 days.

Youm Jamill may be the main danger as it ran well last time over hurdles and has had only 2 runs over fences.

Neighbourhood is pretty consistent and is 2w-2p-5r at this track added to that its 2w-2p-9r  in fields of 9 or less,it may be a bit of value against the fav.

Back Neighbourhood 11pts at 4.3 at Paddys(Accept 4.0)-Won(+36.30pts)

8.0 Newcastle-Dont really see why Sunrise Dance is where it is in the market.Ran well last time over a shorter trip and on the All Weather but both of those are what it prefers.Its 0w-3p-10r over this trip and 0w-1p-6r in fields of 9 or less.Its managed just 3 places from 12 runs on turf.

There are some strong opponents,MeandmyShadow has a good profile.It ran well over a trip its never won at on its seasonal debut and now returns to a trip its got 5 wins at.On Good to firm ground its 6w-2p-14r and its 7w-4p-22r when returning to the track within 14 days.

Azzura Du Caprio is 4w-0p-6r in fields of 9 or less and 2w-1p-4r on good to firm ground while Chasing Dreams is an unexposed 3yo.

250 Ffos Las-A lot dead wood here and it looks a decent opportunity for Pacha D`oudaires to grab its 3rd career win.It won last summer off a 5Ib higher mark and its recent performance saw a welcome return to form and im a big fan of this young jockey.

Petropetrov looks the most obvious danger as Flanagan looks to have lots to prove and the trainer is out of form.

Back Pacha D`oudaires 12pts at 4.3(Accept 4.0)-5th(-12pts)Massive pre race drifter due to so many gambles against it,so it didnt look very promising.Jumped really well but just looked like it got outpaced.

425 Ffos Las-Staccato Valcat is improving and is a fair favourite but at a bigger price,I can see Zama Zama running well.It returned to form last time on soft ground and its definitely a better horse on good or faster ground(3 runs,1st,1st,2nd).All 3 career wins have come in fields of 9 or more and its also 5Ibs below its last winning mark.

Beyond is fancied in the market but returns from an absence and needs to improve while Eleveb Fifty Nine has to prove it stays this trip and needs to improve for it.

Back Zama Zama 9pts at 8.0 at various bookies(Accept 6.5)-UP(-9pts)Solid in the market but ran poorly.It was weighted to turn around the form with the easy winner and on ground that shouldve suited it more.Just about sums everything up at the moment.(DT-21pts)

Back Gulf Punch 8pts at 6.0 at Bet365/BetVictor(Accept 5.5)-UP(-8pts)Never going at any stage

450 Uttoxeter-This is wide open.Rich Buddy is respected as it is slowly improving and Ukranian Star can be a tough horse to beat on its day.

Its always possible that Miss Overdrive isnt the same horse after a lengthy absence as its shown very little in its 2 runs back but its back on its favoured fast ground and interestingly,there was money for it last time.The trainer is in decent form.

Back Miss Overdrive 5pts at 11.0 at BetVictor(Accept 9.0)-4th(-5pts)Ran well(touched 2.12 in running) and only gave way at the last.Faster ground wouldve helped as it hurdled well.(DT-13pts)

745 Bangor-Pretty competitve race.Renoyr is top of my ratings,a consistent horse who has been given a 2 month break by his excellent trainer.He gave it the same length break before its win earlier on in the season.There just isnt quite enough in its price for it to be a win selection though.

Fujin Dancer ran a good race after an absence last time and will like the conditions.Tidal Way isnt out of it while Carlton Jack is unexposed and makes its handicap debut here.

Super Collider broke its duck last time but that was a weak race and on my ratings,it has 7Ibs to find with Renoyr.In this class of race its 0w-1p-12r and is 0w-0p-6r on good or faster ground.

Lay Super Collider 30pts at 6.0-Won(-150pts)Got this badly wrong,Renoyr and Fujin Dancer were never really travelling while Carlton Jack jumped poorly and all this left us very vulnerable.

(Cancel or trade out if any of Renoyr/Fujin Dancer/Carlton Jack dont run)

730 Fontwell-Might as Well is no good thing but this is such a  weak race,that it may be good enough to follow up its last time out win.It was rated much higher 2/3 years ago,so now its got its head in front again,we may see it progress again.Its 2w-1p-5r on good or faster ground.

Stormyisland ahead may not run after not running great on Thursday evening but my ratings suggest its better at shorter than this anyway.

Quayside Court is probably the main danger as its likes a small field and fast ground.

Back Might as Well 10pts at 5.0 at Bet365-2nd(-10pts)Once again,the horse missed the last fence and surely wouldve won as it rallied strongly and lost in a photo(touched 1.23 in running) Rubbish day!(DT-160pts)

440 Sedgefield-My Flora comes to life this time of year(Apr-May 4w-0p-5r) and it showed its first form this season not surprisingly last time.That rating gives it a good chance but it steps back in trip to the distance where it achieved its best rating last season.It will like this fast ground and is 3w-1p-7r in fields of 9 or less while its 3w-0p-4r when returning to the track within 28 days.

Course Specialist Tahiti Pearl looks the main danger as im not sure about Rigidity on this ground or over this far.

Back My Flora 15pts at 4.3 at BetVictor(Accept 3.5)-2nd(-15pts)Looked to have called it right as it took it up 2 out but jumped steeply at the last and lost its momentum.Very Frustrating!
