255 Market Rasen-Gentleman Moore showed very little over hurdles but burst into life when making its chase debut,two starts back.It then attempted to follow that up but a mess at the start saw the jockey get unseated and that can be ignored.
Although this is a decent race and a rise in class from its win,my ratings and speed figures suggest it can cope and im surprised at the prices on offer.
Play The Ace has been put in short and I can see its chance but its price is pretty tight.
Cruchain is 13 years old and although in decent form,I cant see it winning this.
Gold Ingot is down in class but the price look right for that while Theatre Mill is unexposed over this trip and could go well but is another thats shorter than ive got it.
Back Gentleman Moore 6pts at 9.0 at various bookies-UP(-6pts)Money was there but this was a poor run.

Just a reminder that this evening and in the early hours of tomorrow,will see the football that was posted on Thursday,taking place.

515 Doncaster-A race that lies between the 2 improving horses,Justice Lady and Laila Honiwillow.
I like the latter,as its top of my ratings,looks progressive and is proven over trip and ground.
The current favourite,Justice Lady,is also going the right way but has to prove itself over this trip and I feel the prices are the wrong way round.
Also the selection is 1 from 1 at this track.
Back Laila Honiwillow 18pts at 3.0 at Totesport/Betfred-Won(+36pts)In a great position throughout and won cosily.
215 Newmarket-Abingdon is clearly well regarded and is improving but on what its done so far,I cant have it in front of Lady Of Camelot here.
John Gosden`s filly is improving after just 3 starts and represents the yard that won this race last season.Its clear top rated on my figures.
Fireglow is 2 from 3 in listed races but hasnt ran over more than 10 furlongs,so this trip is an unknown.
Back Lady Of Camelot 12pts at 4.0 at bet365-UP(-12pts)Loomed up 2f out and looked the winner but finished really tamely.Very Disappointing!
435 Newmarket-Squats has a fair chance but is a tight enough price considering the jockey is just 1/30 for this yard.
Above N Beyond possibly wants the ground softer and ran a poor race last time,it does however have chances on its previous runs and this is a drop in class.
Highland Colori hasnt won on the turf since 2013 but I like Windfast,who showed decent form last time out,on just its second run of the season.
Its 1w-1p-3r in this grade,2w-3p-9r on galloping tracks like this and is 2w-1p-6r in fields of 9 or less.
If it can match last seasons best efforts then it will go very close.
Back Windfast 7pts at 7.0 at Corals-3rd(-7pts)Ran a good race but a strange result.(+17pts)

735 Newmarket-Bunbury won last time but looks an awful price at the head of the market.Down in trip and up in class and still needs to find a few pounds according to my figures.
It creates some value elsewhere and I like Baltic Brave.
This horse hasnt got a great record but when it has won,its always been when returned to the track within 28 days like today.
Its record on the July Course at Newmarket in Class 4 races reads 2-2-2-1-2 and its run here a week ago makes it the one beat on my figures.
Alnashama is a danger but the drop in trip may not suit while He`s My Boy runs well here(2 course wins) and represents a yard in great form,this is a rise in grade and its not handled that yet(Class 4 0w-0p-4r)
The one I worry about is Athletic,who is extremely well handicapped now and has good course form to its name.This is a drop in grade and gets a promising young claimer onboard for the first time.
Im not tipping it but I wouldnt put anyone off a saver on it.
Back Baltic Brave 9pts at 5.5 at Bet365/Betvictor-3rd(-9pts)Bit of a laboured performance.Never looked like winning.
815 Bath-Stosur is a fairly limited filly but after winning this race this last 2 seasons,if its ever going to be revved up ,it will be tonight.
Its nicely handicapped now off a mark 8Ibs below its last winning mark and clearly runs this track well.Its last run here(3 starts back) saw it finish behind 2 horses that have won since and I like the booking of Luke Morris.
Red Tea is clearly the one to beat,its slowly progressing and consistent but as always with me,its price related and this is short enough.
Back Stosur 10pts at 5.0 at Hills-3rd(-10pts)Ran a good race but found the 3yo`s too good(DT-19pts)

310 Goodwood-This race historically has thrown up a host of multiple winners(Double Trigger,Yeats,Further Flight to name but three) and Big Orange can join them,after treading the same path to its victory in this race last year.
Its top my figures and is 3w-1p-7r in Group 2 races while trainer Michael Bell continues in decent form.
Pallasator,Sheikzayedroad and Curbyourenthusiasm head the dangers.
Sword Fighter is prominent in the market but 3yos dont do great in this race and this horse has a stone to find on my ratings.
Back Big Orange 10pts at 5.0 at various bookies-Won(+40pts)If only every horse was as tough as this horse.An absolute lion in front!
715 Ffos Las-This looks to lie between the two unexposed horses here and as always,its the price that decides the call.
Swashbuckle has shown steady improvement in each of its 3 career runs to date and makes its handicap debut off,what looks a decent mark.
Interestingly,it went off fav on its debut and the trainer has a 23% strike rate here.
Ravens Quest won well last time out and is the clear danger,its up in trip but that should suit.
Pure Fantasy represent a yard going well and who do well here but it looks short enough after a poor run last time and possible issues on the ground.

355 Perth-Regardless of what happens,the price available on Royal Macnab,just looks wrong.
This is a pretty solid horse,that tends to run its race,when faced with ideal conditions,like it faces here.Its second place finish here last time,gives it a favourite`s chance on my figures and the trainer has won with 2 of her 7 handicap chase runners at this track.
Its easy to see Ballykan`s chance after it ran out at the last,when leading last time out.
The trainer does well here(27%) but I do have a niggle on the ground and its very short,compared to my prices.
Realt Mor appears to be going nowhere at present but conditions are ideal while Imjoeking has been very lightly raced,the last 2 years,at its best,it would have a shout but again,looks fairly short to me.
Back Royal Macnab 7pts at 7.5 at Betbright 7.0 available at Stan James/Marathon bet(Accept 5.0)-2nd(-7pts)Decent support for the horse and ran a really good race.Just couldnt hold the fav.
820 Leicester-As the only unexposed horse in the line up,Im surprised May Rose is the price it is.
It showed promise in 3 all weather maidens,improving each time and wouldn`t need to find much more here,on its first turf start.
Being closely related to a very decent turf horse,it could easily improve past these and it makes its first start for trainer,Charlie Hills,who has a 24% strike rate at this track.
Soaring Spirits is on a roll and is clearly the one to beat but is priced accordingly.
Etienne Gerard came back to form last time and likes this time of year(July/August 3w-1p-6r) but the jockey is just 1/43 for this yard while New Rich,although consistent,is 0/21 on turf now.
Back May Rose 6pts at 7.5 at Corals/Skybet/Betvictor-2nd(-6pts)Another to run well but once again the fav too strong at the death.(DT-13pts)

405 Yarmouth-The lightly raced Takatul makes a lot of appeal here.
Its win on its debut puts it top of my ratings and with expected improvement,it should take a fair bit of beating.Its not a massive price but ive got it around the even money mark.
The trainer doesnt send many here but has won with two of his 9 runners here.
Coronation Day makes its handicap debut but needs to find a stone of improvement to figure while Twin Point returns after 191 days off,you would have to assume its had a problem or two.
Four Poets looks the main danger to me,Consistent and will love the ground.
Back Takatul 18pts at 3.0 at various bookies-Won(+36pts)
310 Goodwood-Providing stablemate Gifted Master doesnt set up a duel for the lead then I can see Home Of The Brave going very close from the front here.Being up front is always a good place to be around this track and this horse is a pretty tough thing to pass.
Its last time out win tops my ratings,the yard is going well and the horse is 3w-0p-7r in fields of 9 or less.
Dutch Connection is probably the main danger but will be(normally) held up out the back while Birchwood jumps up in class.
Back Home Of The Brave 15pts at 3.25 at various bookies-2nd(-15pts)Ran well but Dutch Connection was positioned closer to the pace than usual and that was decisive.
730 Perth-This could turn out to be a severe stamina test and although we need to hope its on one of its going days then Presented looks far too big a price.
It has won around here and although ideally it wants a bit further,the testing nature of the surface should see it staying on if its in there fighting in the straight.
The ground is fine and the trainer has won with 9 of her 41 handicap chasers at this track.
Russian Regent loves it here(3w-3p-7r) and is very much respected while Tangolan has questions to answer on the ground.
Lowanbehold represents a trainer that is 0/30 with his chasers here and Dr Moloney is consistent but doesnt win very often (1/22 over fences)

325 Pontefract-Although Le Deluge is well in under its penalty,for its win 7 days ago,I feel its up against it here.
Its record when returning to the track within 14 days is less than impressive(0w-1p-14r) and its also 0w-0p-6r in this grade.This particular race is 2 classes up from the recent success.
For me,Eutropius has a lot going for it.
Its latest run puts it top of my ratings,the trainer has won the race 3 times in the last 6 years and its 3w-0p-12r when returning to the track within 14 days.
Its record when racing over 10 furlongs on good to firm ground reads 2nd-4th-1st-1st-3rd-8th.
Ive got it around the 2/1 mark.
Street Duel looks the main threat to me as a 3yo against its elders.
Back Eutropius 12pts at 4.3 at Ladbrokes/betway-UP(-12pts)We beat the book as the horse was well backed into 2/1 but its finishing effort was very tame.

Its record when returning to the track within 14 days is less than impressive(0w-1p-14r) and its also 0w-0p-6r in this grade.This particular race is 2 classes up from the recent success.
For me,Eutropius has a lot going for it.
Its latest run puts it top of my ratings,the trainer has won the race 3 times in the last 6 years and its 3w-0p-12r when returning to the track within 14 days.
Its record when racing over 10 furlongs on good to firm ground reads 2nd-4th-1st-1st-3rd-8th.
Ive got it around the 2/1 mark.
Street Duel looks the main threat to me as a 3yo against its elders.
Back Eutropius 12pts at 4.3 at Ladbrokes/betway-UP(-12pts)We beat the book as the horse was well backed into 2/1 but its finishing effort was very tame.

450 Newmarket-If Palmerston runs like it did last time then it will get lapped but its win ,2 starts back,over this trip,interests me enough to get involved ,at a nice price.
The performance saw it produce a very competitive rating and a good speed figure.
Dont know why it ran a stinker last time but the form of its win is decent,with the second having come out and won twice since while the 3rd and 5th have won since.
Id like to see it get out in front and make it real test.
Huntlaw is a big danger on its last time out win as is Bastille Day while Dubai Fashion is unexposed but is a very tight price on what its done so far.
Back Palmerston 4pts at 15.0 at various bookies-Won(+80pts Paid out BOG)Given a lovely ride by `Midge`Mullen to win going away.Lovely drift on the price as well.

Norkopping to beat Gefle(Today) and Elfsborg to beat Ostersund(Monday)

22nd July
845 Newmarket-Kestrel Dot Com and Battlement are two lightly raced horses,who I expect to be fighting the finish here.
I respect the latter a lot but on value grounds,the former has to be the call.
It won despite pulling hard on its handicap debut and produced the best rating and a good speed figure in the process.
The jockey has a 21% strike rate when teaming up with this yard and it should go close.
The other 3 horses in the race,all have some sort of chance if they return to their best but their form has a real uneven look to it.
Back Kestrel Dot Com 14pts at 3.5 at Corals-UP(-14pts)A poor run.

21st July 2016(The return)
Ive decided that this is probably what I do best and Im going to try and get this going again.
It will obviously be free for a while(Not sure how long and will really depend on interest and hits on site plus obviously me giving out profitable tips.
I also do my own football ratings,so will probably include them and maybe a few Rugby League as I have a friend,who is doing well in that sport.
Lets see how we go..................
455 Yarmouth
On current form,Bahamian Heights cant win this but there are reasons to believe it could bounce back.
Firstly ,it was in Late June/Early July last season that it suddenly hit form and its now 3Ibs lower than its last winning mark plus it gets the promising young claimer,George Wood on board for the first time claiming 7Ibs off,added to that its 1 from 1 at this track.
If it can get somewhere near its best ratings from last season then it really should go very close.
Tarboosh is unexposed and is the obvious danger.
Back Bahamian Heights 6pts at 9.0 at Betbright(Accept 7.0)-3rd(-6pts)Ran a really good race and looked like prevailing a furlong out but its ready to win soon.
900 Doncaster
I like Brittleton here and its clear favourite on my tissue prices.
It ran a good race on its second start this season,last time out but I would expect even better here.
It hit form at this time of the year last year(July/August 3w-2p-5r) and is 2w-0p-4r in fields of 9 or less like this.
The trainer is 3 from 13 with his older horses and the booking of James Macdonald can only be a good thing.
Lugarno Palace is well handicapped but possibly better at shorter while Bertie Moon is still paying for its wide margin victory three starts back plus wants softer ground.
The Kid and Carpe Vita both hold similar chances but offer no value in my eyes and the veteran Hallstatt is 0w-0p-7r around here and 0w-5p-27r from July to the end of the season.
Back Brittleton 10pts at 5.0 at Skybet/Betway(Accept 4.3)-Won(+40pts)Back with a winner.Lovely!
Rugby League
Leeds are fighting for their lives but this match appears to be priced on name rather than this seasons form.
Back Hull KR(+6.5pts on the handicap) v Leeds 15pts at 1.83 at Betfair-Won(12.45pts)(DT+46.45pts)
