31st July

715 Ffos Las-This is an ordinary handicap.

Khee Society is consistent and should run its race while Eugenic posted a good rating last time but does now step up in class.

Avocadeau`s price looks a bit bigger than I would have it,as I dont think it stayed the 12 furlongs last time and has finished 1st and 2nd in its 2 tries at this trip.

Back Avocadeau 7pts at 8.0 at various Bookies-3rd(-7pts)Really thought it was coming to win 3 furlongs out but was just one paced.

320 Stratford-Its hard to imagine a worse race than this.Solid form is extremely thin on the ground.

The market leader Crannaghmore Boy is clearly expected to come on for his seasonal debut to reach last seasons best form.

Its not impossible but it will require 25Ibs improvement from that run and id prefer to look elsewhere.

Moulin De La Croix hasnt won since 2012 but was running a better race than of late when unseating its rider last time.

Whether it can back that up remains to be seen.

Describing Sumner as reliable would be stretching it a little but its slowly worked its way back to form after an absence of 2 years.

It ran its best race for a long time last time staying on over 2m2f and over this trip(2m7f) that it stayed well in the past it should run well.

Its won around here and will be certain to get a ride from the underrated Charlie Poste in the saddle.

Back Sumner 7pts at 6.5 at Various Bookies(Accept 5.5)-4th(-7pts)Money for it but a series of niggling mistakes put paid to its chance.(DT-14pts)

510 Perth-St Gregory is progressive and rightly heads the market but 6/4 looks pretty tight to me.

Mia`s Anthem has only had the 3 starts over fences but ive got it on the same rating as the favourite.It has to be the value in this race.

Cool Star has a decent chance on its latest start but is 0 from 31 under rules.

Blueside Boy has it to do on what its produced so far but was sent off favourite last time,so may be capable of better.

Back Mia`s Anthem 7pts at 7.0 at Bet365/Betvictor(Accept 6.0)-Won(+37.8pts *1 non runner*)Halved in price and despite hitting a few fences,stayed on too strong for its rivals.

545 Perth-It remains to be seen whether Bless the Wings and Hero DeVilleneuve take part after running last night.

Ainsi Fideles won easily on its chase debut for the Pipe yard and should run well but looks a very tight price based on the bare rating and the poor speed figure it achieved.

You have to respect Scotch Warrior around its favourite track(Perth 6w-3p-15r) but its weighted right up to its best and may be vulnerable to a more progressive rival.

That could be Harrys Whim,who looks like its finally got its act together over fences.It can hit the odd fence but in the main,jumps well and the rating and in particular,the impressive top speed figure it produced last time,gives it a far better chance than the odds suggest.

Back Harrys Whim 7pts at 7.0 at Paddys(Accept 6.5)-2nd(-7pts)Met a good rival but just didnt jump well enough.(DT+30.8pts)

805 Perth-His Excellency is a quirky sort and can run the odd stinker but doesnt run in this class very often and with the Pipe yard sending this all the way up here from Somerset(4 from 16 with their chasers here),You would assume they think it will go close.

If it can repeat its latest rating then its got every chance.

Hero De Villeneuve is the main danger as its pretty unexposed over this trip and won well here last time.

Carlito Brigante is 3 from 4 going right handed and is another that plys its trade in better races than this but looks weighted to the hilt.

Back His Excellency 8pts at 6.0 at Betvictor(Accept 5.5)-Won(+40pts)Just a peach of a ride to put this horses head in front near the line.

650 Worcester-With Uncle Tom Cobley and Violets Boy looking to hold little chance,this concerns the other three.

Lucky Landing has run some good races of late but is a horse that tends to get going in August and is best after a very recent run(20days+ 0w-1p-12r)

No Likey is improving and produced the best topspeed figure last time,however the market hasnt missed it.

Sedgemoor Express takes a slight drop in trip and gets McCoy onboard for the first time.

Its 4w-1p-13r going left handed and 2w-1p-7r when returning to the track within 14 days.

Its the value in the race.

Back Sedgemoor Express 12pts at 4.0 at Bet365/Skybet/Boyles-Won(+36pts)Jumped good and never really looked like losing.(DT+76pts)

28th July

330 Ayr-This is quite a tight race with a few holding a similar chance.

Cavalieri`s price appears out of line on my ratings.Its not had that many runs at staying trips and this slight step up in distance should be ideal.

Mister Uno won for us last time but that was a weak race and its 0w-1p-6r in this grade but the yard are going so well,it has to be respected.

Thornton Care is unexposed and is probably main danger with Gold Chain not out of it.

Back Cavalieri 7pts at 8.0 at Bet365(Advised last night)-4th(-7pts)Never dangerous at any point.

725 Uttoxteter-Handsome Dan has won its last two but needs to progress again to take this.Thats not impossible but its short enough in the market for me.

Silver Man represents a yard that are 2 from 7 with their chasers here and is respected.

Green Bank would have a very good chance based on its run 3 starts back but its hasnt got close to that run since.Its difficult to know what to expect from it.

Big Sound has been knocking on the door of late and deserves to win another race,it looks impossible to keep out of the first three.

Back Big Sound 5pts each way at 7.5 at Betvictor(Advised last night)-Won(+34pts)As fine a ride as you will ever see.Brilliant!(DT+27pts)

*As usual in 8 race fields,im doing the place part on Betfair to ensure 3 places*

805 Windsor-Another fairly tight race.Bertie Moon is fairly progressive,has won here and has George Baker on board.It should run well.

St Paul Vence,so far has looked better on softer ground and at shorter.

Choral Festival won this race back in 2010,it goes well around here and is another that shouldnt be far away but is hardly progressive.

The 3yo Starlit Cantata has only had a handful of runs on turf but has been consistent on the all weather of late.

Whatcatches my eye is Jimmy Fortune taking over in the saddle(3 from 11 for the yard this season).Its the wrong price.

Back Starlit Cantata 4pts each way at 12.0 at Bet365(Accept 10.0)-Non Runner

340 Ascot-After just 4 runs,Polybius has more potential than most of these.

Its latest victory saw it post a rating that is 6Ibs clear of the field and a topspeed figure that is the best here.

Anything close to its latest run should see it win this.

Fyrecracker makes its handicap debut for an in form yard and is probably the main danger.

Back Polybius 18pt at 3.0 at ladbrokes/betfair sportsbook-5th(-18pts)Really disappointing run.Raced away from the pace but just didnt finish the race off.Possibly the race came too soon.

530 Carlisle-Doubts about quite a few here.With rain around,Al Khan may find itself unsuited to the surface although it has won here.

Hanalei Bay is another that wants it fast and now drops back a furlong.So far its been better at further.

Imperator Augustus won last time but needs to improve on that and is only 1 from 17 in this grade.

Orwellian produced an excellent performance last time,posting the best rating and a good speed figure.

It wont mind if the rain comes and should be clear favourite.

Back Orwellian 10pts at 4.5 at Bet365(Accept 4.3)-4th(-10pts)Poor run,We got the value with both selections but that was it.(DT-28pts)

26th July

350 Ascot-The big race of the day and following a deluge of rain on Friday,the favourite Telescope could prove vulnerable.

On quick ground this horse would have a very good chance but its never been at its best with cut in the ground so far in its career.

Magician is respected as is the unbeaten John Gosden filly Taghrooda while Eagle Top is improving from the same stable.

The final horse from the in form Newmarket yard is Romsdal,who finished a good 3rd last time in the Derby.

Each of its runs so far have produced an improved rating and it just shouldnt be the price it is.

Back Romsdal 3pts each way at 23.0 at Skybet(Accept 13.0)-UP(-6pts)Halved in price but nowhere near good enough.

415 Newcastle-This is fairly weak.Vicky Valentino just heads the ratings but is the right price particularly for a horse with a 1 from 17 career record.

Elizabeth Coffee has won at this trip but my ratings suggest its slightly better at shorter.

Wilhana drops in class but ran 10Ibs below its run 2 starts back,last time while Star in the Eye hasnt got going this season so far.

Magic Art needs a drop of rain but should get it.Its only had a handful of starts for the Marco Botti stable and is the value here.

Back Magic Art 8pts at 5.5 at Betvictor(accept 5.0)-2nd(-8pts)Looked the winner(touched 1.4) but after mastering Vicky Valentino,it couldnt hold Wilhana.The pair were miles clear.

340 Newcastle-The stable form is a slight concern but the price is so big,Bowdlers Magic has to be supported.

Its current form sees it not far off its rivals anyway but it drops back into a class 5 for the first time in 2 years(Class 5 3w-1p-5r) and on the rating it posted the last time it ran in this grade then its got a serious chance.

Miss Macnamara has been in good form but as of yet hasnt won away from Catterick.This is a totally different track.

Madrasa has good claims on its latest win over 1m6 but its 0w-0p-3r over todays trip of 2 miles and a record of 0w-0p-8r at this track is hardly encouraging.

Longshadow drops in class and is fairly consistent.It shouldnt be far away.

Back Bowdlers Magic 4pts each way at 12.0 at Betvictor(Accept 7.0)-3rd(+4.8pts)(DT-9.2pts)

355 Ascot-If you want to get involved in a short priced horse that should win,then Euro Charline is the one.

Its well clear on my ratings and is still progressing after just 5 starts.It should win this easily.

Zurigha is 2 from 3 at Listed level and 3 from 5 at this trip,its got place chances while Woodland Aria made a decent reappearance for an in form yard.

Gifted Girl drops back to listed level for the first time since its last win and may bounce back to form.

Kiyoshi hasnt got close to its 2yo form in both starts this term and needs to improve anyway.

Lay Kiyoshi 20pts at 6.0-2nd(+20pts)Ran better than I thought but Euro Charline was too good.

5.0 Yarmouth-Svendab came back to form last time and is the one to beat on that.Its well handicapped on last seasons form but the yard have been in such desperate form all season,Im not sure it can be relied upon to back it up.

If it does,it will probably win but at 5/2,im happy to swerve.it.

Tidentime has solid credentials at this trip on turf.Finishing 2nd-2nd-2nd-1st-3rd-1st in its 6 starts over todays distance.

A record of 3w-2p-7r in fields of 9 or less adds to its appeal.

Im not a massive fan of the jockey but the price warrants an interest.

Port Alfred has a few pounds to find on my figures and is short enough for a horse 0 from 5 in this grade.

Back Tidentime 8pts at 6.0 at Various Bookies-UP(-8pts)5/1 into 3/1 and ran no race at all.

23rd July

240 Worcester-A weak race but Gorteenwood should run well and im surprised it isnt favourite because it should be.

Its only had 3 runs over fences,which include 2 placed finishes at this track and it must go close.

Marky Bob won only 3 days ago but over shorter.Ive got it slightly better at that trip.

Jayo ran okay last time but drops in trip and is 0w-0p-6r going left handed.

Captain Knock is very in and out.It would have a decent chance on its run 2 starts back but ran an awful race last time.

Back Gorteenwood 14pts at 3.75 at Bet365/Paddys(Accept 3.5)-Won(+38.50pts)Having a decent run at present,to put us nicely in profit for the month especially considering having a lay winning earlier in the month.

2.0 Musselburgh-Some pretty unreliable sorts on show here and I can see why Testa Rossa is fav after an improved showing last time,stepped up to 10f on fast ground for the first time.Its form at this furlong shorter trip isnt quite as good though and its short enough in the market.

Violent Velocity has ran some solid races lately but is 11yo now and has to be vulnerable.

Staffhos represent the inform Johnston yard and ran well last time but so far,hasnt been as good over this trip.

Ellaal is probably the most reliable option to run its race and it looks difficult to keep out of the frame and may even win it.

It represents last years winning stable and is 2w-0p-4r when returning to the track within 7days like today.

Back Ellaal 5pts each way at 8.0 at bet365(Accept 7.5)-2nd(+1.5pts)

330 Musselburgh-Weak race and Eilean Mor stands out for me here.

Its in the form of its life currently,for a trainer going very well and Its latest win was franked when the runner up came out and won yesterday.

Geanie Mac has been running well but is 1 from 35 in its career and is far more likely to finish placed than win.

Dhaular Dhar has been fairly consistent but at the age of 12,is now being asked to run over a trip its never even got close to running over.It looks a strange move

Valentino Oyster loves this time of year(July/August 5w-1p-10r) but has got it to do on my ratings with the selection.

Back Eilean Mor 16pts at 3.5 at various bookies(Accept 3.25)-4th(-16pts)Really disappointing run.Dont think the slowly run race helped but poor all the same(DT-14.5pts)

21st July

445 Cartmel-This is a good race but it is pretty tight.There are 5 horses here who have similar chances and on that basis,theres no way Swaledale Lad should be twice the price of a couple.

Its been in good form and is 1 from 1 around here(Posting a career best rating in the process),so the return to this track must be a positive.

Its another that likes to lead,which is never a bad thing around here.

Dunowen Point,Sergeant Pink and Teenage Dream all have good Cartmel form and they shouldnt be far away.

Groomed has been consistent but lacks any runs here and may prefer slightly easier ground.

Back Swaledale Lad 7pts at 7.0 at Paddys(Accept 6.0)-2nd(-7pts)Pretty soul destroying stuff as the selection jumped superb and moved well clear at the last(Touched 1.15 in running) but the 3 furlong run in proved too much and got collared 1/2 furlong out.

20th July

No Selections

19th July

220 Market Rasen-Pretty competitve stuff but the lightly raced Enchanted Garden should be clear favourite on my ratings.

This horse has only had 4 runs and posted the best rating in this race,last time out stepped up to this trip.Its 2 from 2 at this track.

Join the Clan is respected for top connections while Hawdyerwheesht makes its handicap debut for a good yard.

Serienschock makes its debut for the Pipe yard and is very difficult to assess.

Back Enchanted Garden 11pts at 5.0 at various bookies(Accept 4.3)-Won(+42.50pts 1 non runner)Progressing and clearly likes this track.Hosed up!

515 Market Rasen-Its more exposed than most but there are reasons to believe Mister Wiseman shouldnt be the price it is.

Theres every chance this horse will get an easy lead and if it is allowed to dominate,it will go very close.

Its 2 from 4 in July and 4 from 11 at this track.A lot of the other horses in this race do struggle to win but this horse doesnt.

Owen Na View is very unexposed over fences is probably the main danger.

Lemon Drop Kid is inconsistent and 0w-1p-7r going right handed and 0w-0p-6r when retuning to the track within 28 days.

French Ties drops in trip and gets a different jockey but will probably loom up and finish 2nd.

Teenage Dream has chances on its only career win,2 starts back but struggled with its jumping over this course last time.

Back Mister Wiseman 6pts at 9.5 at betvictor(Accept 7.0)-Won(+20pts * 3 non runners*)A race ruined by non runners and Mister Wiseman is nothing special but if only they all wanted to win like he does(DT+62.50pts)

845 Hamilton-This is a maiden handicap in all but name,as nothing has won a race yet but this has to be good opportunity for Mister Uno.

This horse has posed 2 solid ratings since being moved up to this trip,the trainer is 5 from 24 with her 3yos at this track and Graham Lee is 24% when riding for this yard.

Heartstrings,Stout Cortez,Keep to the Beat and Ronya all have chances but will need to improve if the selection can run its race.

750 Epsom-Starwatch appeals as a value call here.The trainer is in good form and the horse has won 3 times from 9 starts around this course specialists track.

Its won 3 times in July and shouldnt be far away.

Jacob Cats is 3 from 4 in this grade and has to respected while Stockhill Diva looks sure to run its race and is 2w-1p-5r over this trip.

Back Starwatch 6pts at 9.0 at Paddys(Accept 7.0)-4th(-6pts)Laboured performance,never looked like winning

455 Leicester-This is fairly weak and Wall Street Boss looks to have a decent chance.

This horse has produced a consistent set of ratings and a reproduction of its latest effort should be good enough.

Royal Marskell looks the main danger dropped in trip and is 1 from 1 here.

Atlanta Bay represents an in form yard but looks best fresh and on the all weather.

Back Wall Street Boss 12pts at 4.0 on Betfair exchange(Accept no shorter)-Not Matched

305 Brighton-Iseemist is greatly respected and should be involved in the finish but its about the right price.

Putin is 0w-1p-10r at this track and 1 from 41 on turf while Ginzan is only 1 from 15 in this grade.

Secret Millionaire is a 10Ib worse horse over this trip and the value has to be Noverre to Go.

It produced its best run of the season last time and should be even better over this trip(11 wins at the distance)

Back Noverre to Go 10pts at 5.0 at Ladbrokes(Accept 5.5)-2nd(-10pts)Very weak in the pre race market and was ridden like it had no chance.Stormed home to finish a never nearer 2nd.(Dt-16pts)

435 Brighton-Some course specialists here but doubts about many.

Welsh Inlet has won 3 times here but is 0w-0p-4r over this trip and 0w-2p-15r during July/August.

Just Isla is another that likes it here(2 wins) but is 0w-0p-5r in this grade and 0w-1p-6r over this trip.

Sword of the Lord possibly wants the ground a little softer but would be bang there on its run 4 starts back.It hasnt got close to that since but is 2 from 2 here.

The most progressive horse in the line up is Picks Pinta,who is 1 from 1 here and 2 from 3 in this class.

The trainer has won with 3 of her 11 horses shes had run here and it looks the most likely winner.

740 Sandown-You have to respect the improving Billingsgate but George Cinq has such a strong chance,from a ratings perspective,that it has to be supported.

After spending most of this season in the doldrums,Trainer Michael Bell has finally starting sending out some winners including this horse on Saturday.

It gets in here without a penalty and if backing up that run,should go really close.

Its 2 from 2 in July,has won at this track and is 2w-2p-8r in fields of 9 or less.

Ishikawa goes well here but lacks the progression of its rivals.

Back George Cinq 13pts at 4.5 at Boylesports(Accept 3.5)-2nd(-13pts)Smashed up in the betting and looks certain to win when nosing ahead inside the final furlong but got outbattled.

450 Uttoxeter-You couldnt say Moorlands Jack is a certainty to reproduce its latest run,as its always been an in and out performer but its record over this trip,over fences and on fast ground reads 1st-Fell-1st-Unseated.

Its trainer has won with 4 of his last 9 runners and is 3 from 11 with his chasers at this track.Its just too bigger a price not to get involved.

Sudski Star has a habit of winning races where we have a selection and its respected moving up in trip but once again,it needs to improve to take this.

Lemons Gent is very much respected and Sedgemoor Express is unexposed over fences.

Back Moorlands Jack 6pts at 8.0 at Paddys/Skybet(Accept 6.0)-UP(-6pts)(DT-19pts)

15th July

345 Bath-Doubts about all 5 runners here.Dangerous Age and Baytown Kestrel both look better on the all weather and although the former has won on turf,its clearly a better horse at Wolverhampton.

A Legacy of Love drops in trip and it remains to be seen if that suits,it certainly needs to improve for it.

Catalinas Diamond just doesnt look good enough to me(0 from 28 in this grade and just 1 win from 27 starts on turf)

That leaves us with Verus Delicia,who hasnt won in 5 starts in this grade but they were,all but one,on slower ground than what it prefers.

On the one start on fast ground,it finished a good second and comes into this race with the best current form.

Its 2w-3p-6r in July and more significantly,4w-5p-11r when returning to the track within 14 days(13 days today),compared to a record of 0w-3p-19r after 15 days+ absence,it clearly likes a recent run and should go close here.

Back Verus Delicia 14pts at 3.5 at Paddys(Accept 3.25)-Won(+35pts)

515 Bath-Its the outsider in the field but it will not surprise me if the money comes for Baby Queen.

I would expect after 2 pipe openers this season,its ready to roll and drops into a grade where its 2 from 3.

It wants the ground lightning fast and has won at this track.

It likes to lead and its quite possible it could blast out and make all.There is only 1 other possible front runner.

Burnt Cream is the main danger after a good win last time while Molly Jones looks better over further.

Its a massive price!

Back Baby Queen 6pts at 13.0 at Bet365(Accept 7.0)-UP(-6pts)Didnt get an easy lead and was weak in the course market.(DT+29pts)

750 Yarmouth-This is a decent race and one in which Mississippi looks vulnerable.

This horse only has one career win to its name from 16 starts and that was a maiden.Its 0w-1p-9r when returning to the track within 28 days.

Ive got it as the outsider of the field.

Tanzeel has only had 4 starts and is progressing,its got a solid chance.

Tagula Night has posted 3 good ratings this season and shouldnt be far away.

Green Monkey ran poorly last time but returned to its favourite track(Yarmouth 3w-1p-7r) it could easily bounce back while Peace Seeker is another who goes well here(3 starts...finished 1st-1st and 2nd(Beaten a head).

355 Stratford-After a spell in the doldrums,Passato bounced back to form with a fine effort last time over a bit further than this.

To me,it looks like its been laid out for this race as it won this event in 2010 and 2012.

It races here off a mark 15Ibs lower than its last winning mark and with Richard Johnson in the saddle,everything looks geared up for a big run.

Able Deputy has really hit form but all its wins have been with McCoy onboard and he isnt today.

Changing the Guard has chances if back to its last run over fences but has been a little below par the last twice over hurdles.

Back Passato 7pts at 8.0 at Bet365(Accept 7.0)-UP(-7pts)Hammered into 3.5 but ran a terrible race.

11th July

910 Chepstow-The Hannon yard won this race last year and have a good record at the track(4 from 11) but its difficult to see why Lady Crossmar is favourite.

Its two turf runs this season have been pretty poor.

Prize and Wedgewood Estates arent out of it but the return to this trip should see Fantasy Justifier go close.

After 2 good runs,it ran a little below par last time over further.If it can return to the form of its run 2 starts back over this distance then its top rated in a weak race.

Back Fantasy Justifier 8pts at 6.0 at Bet365/Paddys(Accept 5.0) -Up(-8pts)Strong in the market but fell out of the stalls then pulled far too hard and didnt get home.

10th July

405 Nottingham-This race probably revolves around the unexposed Khatiba,who after only 3 runs could be much better than these and drops down a furlong for this race.The market is taking no chances with its price however and it allows some value to be had elsewhere.ed 

MeandmyShadow is a solid performer and ran a really good race last time on good to soft ground considering it wants it fast.

Its 3w-2p-7r when returning to the track within 7 days and im a big fan of the jockey.

I just cant see Guishan`s chance at the prices while Available isnt out of it but is 0w-2p-12rfrom July to September.

Back Meandmyshadow 8pts at 6.0 at  Paddys/Boylesports(Accept 5.0)-UP(-8pts)Ran a really poor race for some reason.Guishan proved my reading of the race to be all wrong.

850 Epsom-Good race and a few in with a chance.Iseemist looks rock solid and must run well after posting a good rating and excellent topspeed figure last time.

Desert Command drops in class and has a consistent profile while Pucon could go well from a good draw.

Flying Bear has a poor draw,wont want any of the forecast rain and needs to improve anyway.

Lay Flying Bear 20pts at 6.0-UP(Wasnt Matched)Managed to get it in running aftre touching 6.2 pre race but wont count.

*Cancel or Trade out if Iseemist or Desert Command dont run*

9th July

610 Worcester-Good recent form is very thin on the ground here.

Very Stylish was always going to be favourite,as its extremely well handicapped for good connections and it posted its best run for a long time last time out.

On my figures,the horse still has to find 7Ibs on that to match Noble Witness`s latest performances.

This horse drops in class and the step up in trip should be ideal.It really should be favourite.

Uncle Pettit is the only other I can give a chance to.

Back Noble Witness 7pts at 6.5 at Bet365/skybet(Accept 5.5)-3rd(-7pts)Ran a good race but just couldnt quite stay on strong enough.

640 Worcester-This is a big drop in class for Anquetta.It hasnt raced in this lower grade for 14 months(it won that race).

It was a little below par last time over further but back at this trip,I can see it jumping out and making all.

Its 1 from 1 at this track for a trainer that has won with 6 of his last 17 runners.

Lemons Gent is just out of the handicap but looks the main danger although Steel Summit is unexposed over fences.

Back Anquetta 14pts at 3.5 at various bookies(Accept 3.25)-4th(-14pts)Jumped right throughout and you cant get away with that.(DT-21pts)

840 Worcester-This is a very tight race in which only a few pounds seperate the runners on my ratings.

For that reason,I have to support Dormouse.Its latest run(figures wise) rates as good as its win 3 starts back.

Also,in that win it beat Edmaaj,giving it 11Ibs and meets it here on level weights and yet is 5 times the price!

Pure Style runs well fresh and is respected while Dealing River and Iguacu wont be far away but Dormouse is a stupid price.

Back Dormouse 3pts each way at 17.0 at Betvictor(Accept 9.0)-2nd(+6pts)Ran a fine race.(DT-15pts)

*I shall be backing the place on the betfair exchange as 1 non runner leaves it only 2 places*

8.0 Uttoxeter-Sudski Star has been a progressive horse during the winter and spring.If it continues to progress then its a fair favourite,however,it is back from a break of 67 days and this will be the fastest ground it has ever raced on.

Take it on with Got Attitude,who really wants this fast ground and is top rated on its latest victory.

Unless the well handicapped Strongly Suggested bursts back to form,Engai is the only other one I can give a chance to.

Back Got Attitude 10pts at 5.0 at Paddys(Accept 4.0)-2nd(-10pts)Pulled very hard early on and that may have cost it the race.Was in position to go and win the race but its early exertions probably took its toll.

845 Brighton-You would struggle to find a weaker race than this.

It wouldnt be a massive surprise if handicap debutante Roring Samson came good as its got less to prove than most.

The only horse in this event to have actually won a race is Born to Fly and I can see it outrunning its odds.

It didnt run badly ratings wise,on its first outing of the season,over a furlong further.

It gets blinkers first time and drops back to the trip it won over,I can see it running well.

You have to respect Roger Charltons record here(17 from 37) but his horse,Why Not Now has got it to do on my figures and on this firm ground.

Back Born to Fly 5pts at 15.0 at Bet365(Accept 8.0)-Won(+60pts 1 non runner)The money came for Roring Samson but Born to Fly came bursting through for a great win.(DT+50pts)

810 Brighton-Unless Peter Chapple-Hyams lightly raced Goddess of Gloom is capable of a lot more than its shown so far then this looks a decent opportunity for Just Isla.

This horse ran a decent race last time but theres every reason to expect better today.

Its 2w-0p-5r at this track..2w-0p-7r in fields of 9 or less....is 2 from 2 in July and is 2w-0p-4r when returning to the track within 14 days.

Ive got it clear favourite.

The market has Royal Connection in that slot and it is the main danger but is 0w-2p-9r in small fields like this.

Olney Lass has won 5 from 10 around here and has to be respected with that record but doesnt look well handicapped now.

Back Just Isla 10pts at 5.0 at bet365/paddys(Accept 4.5)-Non Runner

7th July

415 Newton Abbot-Trainer Sophie Leech has won this race for the past 2 years and her Tamarillo Grove was the victor last season.

It returns for a repeat visit and has a better chance than the odds suggest.It ran a little below form last time but that was in a higher grade than this.

Its 2w-2p-8r at this track and 2w-3p-5r in July.It could run well at a price.

Gracchus is the obvious favourite,after posting a good rating last time while Macarthur also ran well last time but is 0 from 15 over hurdles.

Lyssio is still lightly raced and if it returned to last seasons best then it wouldnt be far away.

Back Tamarillo Grove 3pts each way at 15.0 at various bookies(Accept 13.0)-Won(+37pts 2 non runners)Jumped superbly all the way round and never saw another rival.

850 Windsor-I`m Harry has been a model of consistency and looks to hold strong claims in this.

 Its form figures over this trip read 1st-1st-2nd-1st and it just got run down close home over further last time by an unexposed rival.

Ive got it around the 11/8 mark.

Oratorios Joy won last time and looks the main danger.

Back I`m Harry 17pts at 3.25 at bet365(Accept 3.0)-2nd(-17pts)Could not see the winner at all,impossible to find.(DT+20pts)

6th July

445 Market Rasen-Its clear that Weather Babe is a horse at its best fresh.After a break of 80 days or more from the track,its finished 1st-1st-2nd and 1st.

Today it returns after 109 days away,is 3w-0p-5r in this grade and 3w-3p-8r going right handed.

I have a tiny niggle about the form of David Pipes horses but theres enough juice in the price,to get involved.

Master of the Hall can be relied upon to run its race and shouldnt be far away.

Bowie is 2w-2p-7r at this track and is probably the main danger after a good win last time.

Back Weather Babe 6pts at 8.0 at various bookies(accept 6.5)-2nd(-6pts)Ran a very good race but just bumped into a rejuvenated rival unfortunately.

4.0 Leicester-I cannot have Dubawi Sound at its current price.This horse has been well out of form this season and is 0w-2p-11r when returning to the track within 28 days.

Related looks the most reliable option as its one of the few that come here in good form.Compton is a horse that goes well fresh(80 days+ 2w-0p-4r),it wont have a problem if the rain arrives.

Showboating is 1 from 1 at this track and will handle softer ground while Tamayuz Star drops in class and is 1 from 1 here.

Lay Dubawi Sound 20pts at 6.0-UP(+20pts)

*Cancel or Trade out if Related,Showboating or Compton dont run*

425 Sandown-The rain is expected to arrive at Sandown and that will really suit Whiplash Willie.

This horse drops in class after finishing just behind smart stayer,Brown Panther last time and is 3w-2p-8r when returning to the track within 40 days.

Earth Amber looks the main threat,as its pretty consistent but does struggle to win.

Back Whiplash Willie 13pts at 4.0 at Stan James(Accept 3.5)-Non Runner

710 Carlisle-George Rooke has a nice progressive profile and should go really close here.The trainers horses continue to run well and it looks the one to beat.

Another For Joe is a very consistent animal and this course and distance winner looks the main danger.

Champagne Rules is pretty unexposed and gets the hood for the first time,it could make the frame.

Back George Rooke 12pts at 4.5 at Bet365/Paddys-3rd(-12pts)Looked sure to win 2 furlongs out but looked to duck in behind.Traded very short on betfair.(DT+8pts)

Days total minus commission+7pts

4th July

Todays selection was a non runner

3rd July

430 Perth-Lord of Drums looks to me like a `rest pattern` horse,in other words,it needs a break between its races to be seen at its best.

This horse returns to the track after an absence of 69 days and its 2w-2p-5r after such an absence.

Its record when returning within 30 days is a very poor 0w-1p-12r,so its likely to be at its best here

Its 1w-1p-2r in July,a course and distance winner thats dropped in class and runs here off its last winning mark.

If thats not enough,the trainer produced it to win at this very meeting last year after an absence from the track.

Me and Ben brings solid,consistent form into this for a yard that do very well here(5 from 18) and looks the main danger although Irish raider Sarabad isnt out of it.

Back Lord of Drums 9pts at 5.5 at betvictor(Accept 5.0)-Fell(-9pts)

5.0 Perth-This looks very weak.

Moss Street looks a vulnerable favourite to me,despite his trainers good record at the track.Its got a very in and out profile and is yet to win after 17 starts.

Mo Rouge makes its handicap debut and looks a threat after a good run last time but Cool Baranca came back to form last time and looks a decent price.

This horse is 3w-3p-11r at this track and 2w-2p-5r in July.

If it can back up that latest run then its the one to beat.

Back Cool Baranca 10pts at 5.0 at Bet365(Accept 4.5)-3rd(-10pts)Just given far too much to do by its jockey.I feel it should have won this race.(DT-19pts)

2nd July

910 Chepstow-Gabrial the Terror was dropped into a class 6 last time and duly gained its first win.That form is nothing to go mad about and although the trainer has an excellent 6 from 17 record here,it looks pretty short to me.

Belle Park looks certain to run its race and is a big danger but its the right price at 3/1.

Despite running poorly last time,there are reasons to believe a much better showing from April Ciel here.

Its 2w-2p-10r at this track and 2w-0p-5r in this grade.

If you take its 2 runs,at this track over this trip and in this grade...you get finishing postions of 1st and 1st.

It could be a very big price.

Back April Ciel 3pts each way at 15.0 at bet365/Betvictor(Accept 12.0)-Won(+45.4pts 1 Non runner)Game front running performance from a horse who clearly needs just these circumstances.

410 Perth-Bless the Wings is interesting here.This horse has been running in far better races than this(Mostly class 1 handicaps) and now finds itself in a class 3 for the first time since 2011.

The other interesting thing is this is its first run for the Gordon Elliott yard,who have a 29% strike rate at this track.

Its 10Ibs lower than its last winning mark and if the new trainer can get it back on track,it could easily outclass these.

Everything else has some sort of doubt against it,Dark Glacier is 0w-1p-6r going right handed.

Call Box is often vulnerable in this class(0w-1p-5r) as is Gleann Na Ndochais(0w-0p-4r)

Hero De Villeneneuve is lightly raced but has to improve and has its stamina to prove.

Back Bless the Wings 10pts at 5.0 at Ladbrokes/Betfair sportsbook(Accept 4.5)-Pulled UP(-10pts)Hammered into 5/2 but never ever travelling and pulled up miles out.(DT+35.4pts)

440 Perth-Tiradia looks to be improving and should go close here while Pulpitarian ran well last time and represents an in form yard.

City Line is another with 2 solid recent efforts to its name and shouldnt be far away.

Super Collider has run pretty well the last twice but my ratings suggest those performances wont win this race.

This horse often loses its form this time of year(July/August 0w-0p-7r) and its 0w-1p-7r going right handed.

Lay Super Collider 20pts at 5.0-Won(-80pts)First lay to win for a while but Tiradia and Pulpitarian clearly havent ran their race and even then the lay was headed and battled back to win.(DT-44.6pts)

*Cancel or Trade out if Tiradia,City Line or Pulpitarian dont run* 

1st July

5.0 Brighton-This is quite a tight race with everything bar Annes Rocket holding some sort of chance.

Whitby Jet is consistent,has won here and drops in class,if 8 furlongs on very fast ground doesnt catch it out for pace then it shouldnt be far away.

Who`s that Chick is a course and distance and has a decent chance of its latest start.Its 2w-2p-8r when returning to the track within 14 days.

Siouxperhero only starts winning when July arrives,so I expect a better showing than of late here.

Lutine Charlie is another that likes this time of year(July 2w-2p-5r) and it would go very close on its rating from 3 starts back.

Byrd in Hand has a chance but not the one that the market is giving it.This horse is 1w-9p-30r at this trip.

Its 0w-1p-13r between the months of July and September and is 0w-1p-16r in this class.

Lay Byrd in Hand 20pts at 5.0-2nd(+20pts)Ran its usual race but so one paced.There was always going to be something to beat it.

*Cancel or Trade out if Whitby Jet,Lutine Charlie or Whos that Chick dont run*
