430 Windsor-Pretty open race.Rees Rascal is slight favourite at the bookies and it should run well but is 0-w-p-4r in this class of race.

Anya is the least exposed and may have some improvement in her but on my ratings,it needs to.

The value for me in the race is the very consistent Gaul Wood who rarely runs a bad race,is 2w-2p-7r on galloping tracks and maybe the 5Ib claimer taking over may just make the difference.

Back Gaul Wood 8pts at 6.5 at Ladbrokes(Accept 5.5)-Won(1 Non Runner +40pts)

420 Uttoxeter-The handicap good thing is apparently Emerald Glade,who im sure will run well but it looks amazingly short to me.

Van Diemans Land isnt out of it after improving when encountering fast ground for the first time over hurdles on its latest run.

However,Mount Welcome won well last time over fences,its rated lower over hurdles but this horse clearly wants 2miles on fast ground and going back to last seasons hurdles form in Ireland,I can see this going close for a trainer that is 2w-3p-5r in the last 4 weeks.

Back Mount Welcome 15pts at 6.0 at Betvictor(Accept 3.5)-UP(-15pts)Travelled well into the race but weakened really quickly 2 out like something went amiss.Not sure it wouldve beaten the winner anyway.(DT+25pts)

430 Uttoxeter-A race full of inconsistent horses apart from Bennys Quest,who looks nailed on to run its race and at least hit the frame.

Catch Tammy won on its chase debut and will surely improve but has to find 15Ibs on my ratings with the selection.

Free World is woefully in and out but did put up one of its better efforts last time,its recent record suggests its unlikely to do so again.

Back Bennys Quest 10pts at 5.0 to win at Paddys/Betvictor

Back Bennys Quest 15pts place at 1.8 at Betfair-UP(-25pts)Just another reminder why I did actually stop place betting.If you had seen the ratings of this race,you would find it hard to believe it could run this bad.(DT=)

530 Doncaster-Tetbury is improving but the market has it plenty short enough.El Bravo ran really well last time,just going down by a head and the winner ran well yesterday.It looks the value.

Gran Maestro is quite consistent but at the moment looks better at 10f while if Tinseltown came back to form,it wouldnt be out of it.

Back El Bravo 8pts at 7.5 at Betvictor-Won(+52pts)

655 Lingfield-Very low grade affair and I can see Putin getting out in front and hanging on.This horse seems to run every other day and is fairly consistent for an animal in this grade,anything close to its recent second will see it go very close.

Song of Parkes likes the ground very fast but ideally wants another furlong so Pharoah Jake is probably the main danger.

Welease Bwian doesnt run

250 Yarmouth-This is a wide open race.Pink Lips looks to be slowly improving but needs to again on my ratings to take this.

Floralys is dangerous if it improves stepped up to a mile but the value surely has to Spin Again,who is definitely better on the AW but is a course winner here and has been running well of late.

Back Spin Again 8pts at 9.0 at bet365(Accept 7.5)-4th(-8pts)Bang there 2 out but didnt pick up.

840 Newmarket-Paris Rose is the most obvious winner and makes its handicap debut on what could be a leniant mark but at a much bigger price,I think Amoya can go well.It clearly likes a recent run as all its career wins have been when returning to the track within 21 days,its trainer is 3w-3p-11r in the last 28 days and its now running off a mark lower than it last won off.

Back Amoya 4pts at 12.0(Accept 10.0)-2nd(-4pts)Ran a great race and beaten by the danger,Regretting not putting up the exacta :-(  (DT-12pts)

25th June

735 Newton Abbot-Sidney Melbourne looks progressive and could still have more to come(0-9 runners 2w-1p-4r)

Laudatory likes 2miles on good ground while Rime Avec Gentile has been running well.

Kykenoe Fairy is 3/5 at this course and could go well if benefiting from its recent run after a break.

Tzora has won 4 times in its career up to a mark of 112.The handicapper has raised it to 127 after its recent win and it will have to produce something very special to defy that.

Lay Tzora 30pts at 5.0(Lay upto 5.5)-Won(-120pts)

*Cancel or trade out if Sidney Melbourne,laudatory or Rime Avec Gentile dont run.Leave in running if not matched if they do run*

4.0 Beverley-The poor strike rate has to be a slight concern but Reset City has produced a series of good ratings that should see it go very close.1/1 at this course and the trip and ground are ideal.

530 Chepstow-Scommettitrice is top rated and has a lot of positives in its profile(for a horse in this grade)

All 5 career wins have been achieved in high summer,so it was encouraging that it finally showed some form last time out.It likes a recent run(Returning to the track within 14 days 3w-1p-12r) and this CD winner is 4w-2p-14r on undulating tracks.

Griffin Point gets the blinkers for the first time this season and they worked very well last term but it is 0w-0p-5r in June.

Farmers Dream ran well last time but drops to 5f for the first time and is 0/24 in its career.

Back Scommettitrice 11pts at 4.5(Accept 4.3)-4th(-11pts)Poor run.Looked outpaced for the majority of the race.

820 Thirsk-Unex Michaelangelo maybe have totally gone as a horse but this is a gambling stable who return it to the course and distance it won its only race over.Its been running over much longer distances and is now 25Ib lower than at the start of last season.

It also drops into a class 4 for the first time in 2 years and it cant be left unbacked at such a big price.

Back Unex Michaelangelo 4pts at 23.0 at Betvictor(Accept 13.0)-UP(-4pts)I hoped to see some money but when it drifted pre race,I never expecting anything.(DT-15pts)

330 Hexham-Sergeant Pink has been in good form on the flat and over fences and can complete the set back over hurdles.Its hurdles form doesnt quite match its chase form but when last seen over hurdles,it was certainly not in such good form as now but it now returns an amazing 16Ibs below its rating when it last run over hurdles.

It wont mind which way the weather goes but doesn often race lazily early on before coming home strong.You may be able to top up your bet with a much bigger price in running.

The trainer is 2/4 in the last 14 days

Back Sergeant Pink 10pts at 5.0 at William Hill/Betvictor(Accept 4.3)-UP(-10pts)Massive pre race drifter for some reason? Was in there pitching 2 out but surprizingly weakened out of it.j

22nd June

305 Ascot-Ektihaam is a progressive,consistent horse that produced a career best rating last time over CD.Its first attempt at this trip,you would expect theres more to come and course form is vital at this track.

Mount Athos is the clear danger but i expect the selection to be clear fav by the off.

Back Ekhitaam 18pts at 3.75 at Paddys/Boyles(Accept 3.15)-Slipped and Unseated Rider(-18pts)Called the market correctly and the horse that Ekhitaam thrashed last time ended up winning this race.All a bit of a joke really!

21st June

410 Market Rasen-Billie Magern is very much respected while General Miller is unexposed over fences but this looks best left to Gullible Gordon.

Clear top rated and with a trainer operating at a 25% strike rate for the last month,it has a very solid profile.

(0-9 runner 3w-2p-9r),Class 4 races(3w-3p-10r) and going Right Handed 2w-3p-9r.

Back Gullible Gordon 18pts at 3.0-Won(Wasnt Matched)Obviously decided not to leave in running and typically it would have obliged although to be fair,it didnt look like it would(hit 44 in running)

755 Goodwood-Seriously competitive race with some very solid in form horses on show.

Red Orator looks nailed on to run its race while Taglietelle,Stock Hill fair,Duke of Clarence and Lyric Street should also go well.

I have Novirak at a much bigger price on my tissue.Its been beaten each time its raced in this grade and the step up in trip needs to help it improve but my stats suggest thats unlikely(Sires Progeny over this distance 1/31)

Lay Novirak 30pts at 6.0-3rd(+30pts)

*Cancel or Trade out if Red Orator,Taglietelle or Lyric Street dont run.Leave in running if not matched,if they do run*

435 Redcar-Judicious was well supported on its seasonal debut but ran poorly,which wasnt surprising as his profile tells you its a horse that isnt at its best after an absence(80 days or more 0w-0p-5r).It is a horse that wins its races at this time of year(June/July 3w-1p-6r) and all of its wins have been over 10 furlongs and on fast ground,both of which it gets here.

It should go well dropping into a class 6 for the first time for a trainer who doesnt come here that often but has a 25% strike rate when he does.

The only real danger i feel is West End Lad(Class 6 5w-5p-20r) and i recommend a saver on that

Back Judicious 9pts at 5.5 & West End Lad 7pts at 4.5-Both UP(-16pts)Judicious was strong in the market but looks like its gone.(DT+14pts)

545 Ripon-Bit concerned about the showers forecast around the country but I have to put Size up,as a clear top rated animal,who is very progressive.Its only ran on fast ground so far but if the rain does come,the sire has a fair record with its progeny on soft ground.

Cono Zur and Hakuna Makata are the dangers.

Back Size 22pts at 3.0(Leave In running if not matched)-UP(-22pts)Was undecided whether to leave in running and obviously regret it now.It was in a poor position throughout and met all sorts of trouble.

19th June

4.0 Uttoxeter-Busted Tycoon is well clear on my ratings and improving.Anything close to its recent run wins this easily.However,the bookies realise this so im advising to leave it in running and hope it drifts slightly.Dont normally advise this but this race is at its mercy.-Won(Not Matched)The easiest winner you will see but only hit an in running high of 2.5

Back Busted Tycoon 25pts at 3.0(Leave In running to get matched)

435 Uttoxeter-A large field but loads of dead wood.Plenty of exposed or out of form animals here accept for the twice raced over hurdles,Amistress, who looks progressive and on my ratings,looks to be very well handicapped.A solid topspeed figure adds confidence.

Golden Acorn has the next best rating but that was in a seller,so Starlet Mandy is probably the danger

Back Amistress 18pts at 4.0 at Bet365(Accept 3.25)-Won(+54pts)Didnt hurdle great but its flat speed won the day in the end under a good ride by its young jockey.

555 Hamilton-Kingarrick has been running well but over slightly further and on softer ground(Good ground or faster 0w-0p-7r).Take it on with the inform Goodlukin Lucy,whos ratings have been slowly improving and will stay this trip very well.

Schmooze may give it the most to do.

Back Goodlukin Lucy 10pts at 5.0 at bet365(Accept 4.5)-4th(-10pts)Really would have liked to see its jockey make more use of it.Very one paced at the end.(DT+44pts)

750 Ripon-KickingtheLily is better on the All weather and at shorter,it looks a vulnerable Favourite.

San Cassiano is 2/4 at this track and hits form in the summer,it looks ready to strike.

Moccasin is unexposed and is a big price but the trainer is struggling which stops me putting it up as a win bet in its own right.

Never Forever is consistent and in great form.It should appreciate the step up in trip.

If Gold Show bounces back after a below par run last time then its not out of it while West Brit ran well after 2 years off last time.

Lay KickingtheLily 30pts at 5.5(Lay upto 6.0)-UP(+30pts)Drifter pre race but hit an in running low of 5.5,ensuring we got matched.Never in the hunt in my eyes.(DT+74pts)

650 Warwick-See Clearly is top rated on its last run and is 2w-1p-8r in fields of 9 or less.Kieron Fallon is booked for the ride and it should go well.

Fayrouge and Dancheur are the dangers.

Wicked Wench looks better at shorter.

Back See Clearly 9pts at 5.0 at Paddys/skybet-4th(-9pts)Well backed and It looked already to come and pick the leaders up but there was little response.

820 Warwick-Despite what the market looks like,I think this is more wide open than the prices suggest.Mr Lando and Spanish Plume are both in form but look too short.

Edgeworth has no great record back from a break but the trainer is going ok and its price is just too big to miss.In June its 3w-1p-8r and in class 6 races its 5w-4p-13r.

Back Edgeworth 4pts at 17.0 at Bet365(Accept 10.0)-UP(-4pts)Travelled well but was one paced at the end(DT-13pts)

850 Warwick-Going to take on the favourite Accession here,At its very best,it may be competitive but it seems to find trouble in running and lack pace in the middle of the race.It also hasnt hit the frame in any of its last 10 races.

Postscript should run well as its slowly running into form and Jamie Spencer is 4w-1p-8r on it.

Silverheels and Boots and Spurs should both go well while Rustic Deacon has the ratings to win this,unexposed over 7furlongs(1w-1p-3r) and 1w-1p-3r after a break of 80 days or more but from a stable who like a punt,im surprised its not shorter in the betting.

340 Bath-Midnight Sequel is unexposed on turf after only 2 starts.It put up a good rating last time and its consistent profile(2w-0p-5r over this trip) means its difficult to keep out of the frame.

Highlife Dancer has a solid profile and must go well but is short enough.

Back Midnight Sequel 5pts Each Way at 8.0 at Bet365(1st 3)-UP(-10pts)Very surprised to it see this weaken out of it when looking a danger a furlong out.

415 Bath-Knights Parade is rock solid for its massively in form trainer and must go very close here.

Hamla may improve for the step up in trip but it needs to.

Back Knight Parade 22pts at 3.0 at Paddys/Bet365-Won(+44pts)Got some good value here as the horse went off odds on.(DT+32pts)

Back Smoothtalkinrascal 18pts at 3.0 at Ladbrokes-Non Runner

735 Leicester-Antonio Gramsci won for us last week and should go well again,it is the right price though.Sharaarah put up a much improved rating last time but that was over a furlong shorter and on the fibresand,it may be vulnerable back up in trip on grass.

The value in the race is Red Refraction,who is quietly progressive.It ran well behind a progressive horse last time and that followed up a good 4th from the outside stall at Chester.

Back Red Refraction 8pts at 6.5 at various bookies-4th(-8pts)Got chopped up just as it was making ground.Still doubt it wouldve got there but it didnt help.(DT+24pts)

Bramhill Lass is another rock solid,course winner while Fulgora ran a cracker last time.

630 Aintree-Pretty wide open event with nothing holding rock solid claims.Bescot Springs ran a decent race last time over hurdles on its 2nd run back from a break and now goes back over fences and looks quite well handicapped.This horse is 3w-3p-12r in fields of 9 or less and is 1/2 in the month of June.The forecast rain will only help its chance.

The Musical Guy  continues to put up good ratings but still hasnt won while Thanks for Coming does all its winning on tracks the other way round(L/H 0w-2p-8r)

Gullible Gordon is 0w-0p-4r at this track and the consistent Thats the Deal is always competitve off a hcp mark of around 105 but will need to find something to defy its new mark of 113.

Back Bescot Springs 8pts at 7.0 at Paddys(Accept 6.5) -UP(-8pts)Called the market right as it shortened up but produced a poor run.

735 Aintree-Very competitive race.FiftyoneFiftyone has a clear pattern in its profile and looks vulnerable here.This horse likes to give weight away to lesser horses rather than recieve weight like it does today.When carrying less than 11st,its has a poor record of 0w-1p-9r.It has the same record when racing in class 4 races like it has to today.Add to that,a below par run when unseating last time and the forecast rain is not in its favour either.This horse should be the clear outsider in this field.

All of its opponents have a decent chance,Jack the Gent looks progressive and hasnt finished out of the 1st in its last 6 chase starts.

Anay Turge loves 2m with a little cut in the ground and should get that.Unforgettable is top rated and deserves to get its head in front.

Dineur back to 2miles isnt out of it and Nobunaga will like the ground if the rain comes.

*Cancel or trade out if Jack the gent,Anay Turge or Unforgettable dont run and leave in running if not matched,if they do*

640 Chepstow-Emmuska is possibly at its best on the polytack at Lingfield but it has won on good ground on turf and I feel they have been excuses for some of its runs(Soft ground,Seasonal debut,final run of the season) on grass.Providing there isnt a deluge of rain,it looks to hold a very good chance,3w-0p-8r in fields of 9 or less,4w-0p-8r at a todays distance and 3w-0p-7r in todays grade.

Yojojo and Lady Bayside are the dangers.

Back Romantic Settings 8pts at 6.0 at Paddys(Accept 5.7)-UP(-8pts)Just never picked

620 Haydock-Rosselli looks a vulnerable fav here.It ran well last time but is 0w-p-6r over 10 furlongs and it goes over even further today.Its record of 0w-1p-7r in this class of race just adds to the negatives.

Light the City and Tenhoo both come here after good runs for their in form yards while Blazing Desert should also go well.

505 Salisbury-Gold Mine had to have 2 years off but its 2nd run back from that absence,saw it put up a performance that if repeated, would be good enough to win this.Its only had 6 runs in its career and its trainer is in good form.

Nave is very consistent and looks sure to run its race but hasnt won for a while.

Into the Wind is the other main danger but could do with some rain.

Back Gold Mine 18pts at 3.0-UP(Not Matched)Hard to explain such a poor run unless the problems that kept it off the track resurfaced.

640 Southwell-For sheer consistency,Mad Professor deserves to win again but it does have a poor strike rate and that has to be a concern although one of those wins was over course and distance.Its very difficult to see it out of the frame in a poor race.

Apache Dawn has won its last 2 and should run well again.Turf Trivia hasnt completed on 3 of its last 4 starts and obviosuly has jumping issues.

Truckers Benefit doesnt have a great record after a break and the trainer is struggling for winners so Crack at Dawn despite being  a 12yo will probably be the other one in the frame.

Back Mad Professor 7pts at 5.0 to win at various bookies and 20pts to place at 1.8(1st 3 at Betfair/Betdaq)-3rd(+9pts)

810 Southwell-By far the most solid option here is Tinseltown,who after some good runs on the flat won well last time.McCoy takes the ride and is 1/1 on the horse,its 2w-1p-8r in fields of 9 or less and is 2w-1p-3r in the month of June.

Baccalaureate won last time but needs to find 8Ibs on my ratings with the selection while Gud Day although having a chance on last seasons form,is 0w-3p-10r in this class of race.

Red Jade looks like it may have completely gone but it is 2w-0p-3r after a break of 80 days or more and gets the cheekpieces for the first time for its in form trainer.If the money comes,it may be worth a saver.

Back Tinseltown 20pts at 3.0(Accept 2.75)-2nd(-20pts)Looked like Tinseltown got outpaced halfway round then stayed on again.Disappointed that Baccalaueate won as that was clearly rated well below the selection.(DT-11pts)

*Cancel or trade out if Always theoptimistic,Gracchus or Up to the Mark dont run*

350 Haydock-Hoyam posted an excellent rating last time and a reproduction of that would see it go very close.Its 1w-1p-2r at Listed Level and the the trainer is 4/13 with his 3yos here at this track.

Gracia Directa is respected coming over from Germany but has never ran on good to firm ground before while Ladies are Forever may struggle with its penalty and ran poorly last time.

Back Hoyam 15pts at 4.5 at BetVictor(Accept 4.0)-3rd(-15pts)

735 Pontefract-Very competitive race but I feel Rene Mathis is a bit too big to not be backed.This horse has only had 5 runs and although its won twice on the AW,its run last time when encountering fast turf for the first time saw it achieve its best rating so far.

Hoofalong is a big danger but is short enough.

Back Rene Mathis 6pts at 10.0 at bet365(Accept 9.0)-3rd(-6pts)Probably wouldnt have won but stumbled at one point and lost its position before staying on strongly.

805 Pontefract-Chevalgris is very unexposed and the step up to 10 furlongs for its handicap debut looks ideal

Duke of Perth from Cumani`s yard is the fav but needs to improve as I rate Royal Skies a bigger danger.

Back Chevalgris 12pts at 5.0 at various bookmakers(accept 4.5)-4th(-12pts)Just couldnt go with them.(Dt-18pts)

250 Lingfield-A strange race in that nearly every horse has to prove themselves on very fast ground.Quite a few are better on the AW and look vulnerable back on turf.

This doesnt apply to Buy Art who is clear top rated,is fine on the ground and the step back up in trip should suit.

Back Buy Art 15pts at 3.35-2nd(-15pts)

910 Pontefract-Very competitve sprint handicap with loads holding chances.The main 3 I like are Commanche Raider who came back to form last time and won this last time.Spykes Bay has been gradually been dropped in trip and after just 1 (winning) run,is very unexposed at 5 furlong while Mey Blossom comes out top rated after its fine run last time.

Bronze Beau won well last time but wont get an easy lead here,it has it to do on topspeed figures and is now 1Ib higher than its ever won off.

Lay Bronze Beau 30pts at 6.0

250 Ffos Las-Nothingbutthetruth isnt the most reliable but if it can perform close to its last run then it would have a good chance here.

Its very well handicapped now(13Ibs below its highest winning mark) and all its wins have been on Left Handed track.

Possibility the biggest danger is Jamesson whos only had 3 runs over fences

Mr Gee Jay appeared to appreciate the good ground when it won last time but drops in trip and needs to improve again.

Back Nothingbutthetruth 10pts at 4.5 at Paddys(Accept 4.0)-UP(-10pts)Unfortunately ran a shocker despite the race being there for the taking.

435 Ffos Las-This is a good little race but Royale Knight stands out on ratings.3w-0p-5r in fields of 9 or less and 4w-0p-8r when returning to the track within 14 days gives it a real solid profile and the trainer is 5/14 with his runners here.If it runs to its rating then it should prove very difficult to beat.

Im pretty certain the only real danger is Well hello There who achieved a good rating on its chase debut and represents top connections.

Back Royale Knight 25pts at 2.75 at Paddys(Accept 2.5)-3rd(-25pts)Missed a few fences on the way round and that didnt help.Should defintely have beaten the second on ratings.(DT-35pts)

Take it on with Social Rhythm,who may be well out of form but i feel there have been excuses.This horse likes the ground fast,so its 2 runs so far this season on ground softer than ideal were never going to suit.Paul Mulrennan takes over from 2 lesser jockeys also.

In a perfect world ,this race would be over 8 & not 9furlongs as this horse has encountered 8 furlongs at Ayr on fast ground just 4 times in its career and won every one of them.However it clearly likes the track and the ground and in a weak race,could be a bit of value.

Back Social Rhythm 7pts at 7.0 at Bet365/Paddys(Accept 6.0)-UP(-7pts)Called this completely wrong.I expected the money to come for Social Rhythm but it didnt and the horse is clearly in nowhere the same form regardless of ground or track.Really poor run.

745 Ripon-Antonio Gramsci is progressive sprinter from a red hot stable and should take the beating.

Shrimper Roo and Tumblewind look the dangers.

Back Antonio Gramsci 22pts at 3.0(Accept 2.75)-Won(+38.5pts)Looked a difficult ride(Touched 12s in running)but got the job done.(DT+31.5pts)

450 Newton Abbot-Amuse Me sprang back to life last time when it was stepped back up to best trip and on fast ground and was a bit unlucky not to win.McCoy takes over(6/17 on the horse) and this CD winner has no negatives in its profile.A repeat of its last run will make it difficult to beat.

Aikideau comes from a powerful yard but looks badly handicapped on what its done so far.

Sound Stage should run well but doesnt win often while Noble Chic is 0w-0p-14 runs in class 4 races.

Probably the main dangers are Lough Derg Way and Papradon.

710 Hexham-Theres a chance a couple here may be better than theyve shown so far but Cloverhill Lad is top rated and sets a decent standard for the grade.Its interesting that its done most of its racing on soft ground but after its win 2 starts back at Perth,its trainer declared that he realised the horse wants decent ground.Its only had 6 runs over fences and looks to be improving.

Millers Reef hasnt had many chances over fences but needs to find a few pounds to match the selection

Castlelawn ran poorly last time but on its run on its chase debut gives it a shout although it may want softer ground and Sendiym has a chance but is pretty inconsistent although the yard is going well.

Back Cloverhill Lad 12pts at 4.0-Not Matched

415 Southwell-Taigan has improved since being stepped up to this trip and good ground.also 2/2 at this course and distance,I would be surprised if he doesnt run well.

Handicap debutant Definite Ruby is the obvious danger but it does need to improve to beat the selection.

Compton Blue may run better back on this ground while Jacks Grey hails from an inform yard but they both need to find a few pounds on my ratings.

Back Taigan 9.5pts at 5.2-Won(1 Non runner +38.2pts)Stayed on strongly to win easy

330 Fakenham-This is a good race for this track and Donald McCain sends My Flora on a long journey from up north.Over fences this horse has been very consistent particularly on good ground with finishing positions of  2nd.5th.1st.1st,4th.1st,1st. and in fields of 8 or less its 3w-2p-6r.

City Press is fairly unexposed and is respected while both The Black Baron and Thats the Deal both go well here.

Zama Zama has only had 1 run over fences and could be a danger.

Back My Flora 13pts at 6.0 at Skybet/Paddys(Accept 4.5)-4th(-13pts)Got to be disappointed with this run.Was bang there 3 out but just couldnt go with them.(DT+25.2pts)

625 Lingfield-Not too many that can be fancied.Rock on Candy has a good rating from last season and is still unexposed over this distance but is coming back from a long absence.Princess Cammie won last time but over 2 furlongs further.

Imaginary Diva is a horse that has a clear theme throughout its profile that suggests its at its best after a recent run,so it was encouraging it ran well last time after nearly 3 months off.All 7 of its career wins have been when returning to the track within 28 days,the trip and ground will be fine and the trainer has had 5 winners from his last 17 runners.

Back Imaginary Diva 12pts at 4.0 at Paddys/Bet365-2nd(-12pts)Not the jockeys finest hour! Travelling best of all 2 out,he got continually boxed in and couldnt get out till it was too late.I think its fair to say it shouldve been the winner.Just sums up hows it all gone recently.
