And that.....is that im afraid!
My heart isnt in this anymore and lets face it,Its no any good anymore.
I use to churn out profits and good profits at that but I just cant get it going these days.
I can still find horses that are the wrong price but they dont seem to do their job on the track and
Trying to juggle this with the full time job I have means something has to give.
Thanks for following.

225 Ascot-Against a host of exposed or out of form opponents,Chef D`Oeurve appeals here.
Its lightly raced over fences but has a progressive set of ratings to its name and it cant get soft enough for this horse plus the yard are in flying form.
Last years winner Sausalito Sunrise would be a threat if bouncing back to form but its been out of nick this season although the smaller field will help(9r or less 6w-1p-13r)
Go Conquer looks too short to me for a yard with a 4% strike rate here in recent times.
Back Chef Doeuvre 12pts at 4.5 at various bookies
240 Haydock-Call To Order is improving fast and posted a monster speed figure last time out suggesting theres a lot more to come.
Conditions are ideal for it and I expect it to go very close.
Mydor is more exposed than most but did post a solid figure last time that would put it in the mix while Eminent Poet is up 2 grades higher,something that it hasnt been able to handle before.
Nordic Nymph has been farming weaker races than this and Dadsintrouble is quietly progressive but is too short in the market on my ratings.

320 Ayr-I respect the lightly raced Oscar`s Prospect and its a fair favourite but the 2/1 on offer is a point shorter than ive got it,so im happy to look elsewhere.
Bourne and Bescot Springs can both run well but neither have anything in hand at the weights,so I like Another Mattie.
This horse ran its best race for a while last time over shorter.
This step up in trip will suit,its well handicapped now and represents last years winning yard.
Back Another Mattie 7pts at 7.0 at Ladbrokes-3rd(-7pts)
350 Ayr-No doubt in my mind they have the prices wrong here.
Casual Cavalier will im certain be supported and it wouldnt surprise me,if it ended up favourite.
It looks a good pre race trade,for those that like that.
Its very progressive and tops my ratings easily.
Its 2 from 4 in fields of 7 or less,the Jockey/Trainer combo operates at a decent 31% and its 2w-2p-5r when returning to the track within 30 days.
Mumgos Debut has had a good season but its a silly price here for a horse that is 0w-1p-5r at this track and just 1 win from 14 starts in this grade.
Trust Thomas won this last year and is overpriced while Captain Hox is 2/2 here and isnt out of it if the visor sparks it into life.
Back Casual Cavalier 15pts at 4.0 at Skybet/Bet365/Marathon Bet-2nd(-15pts)Sums it all up really! Both horses very well supported but couldnt get it done.(DT-22pts)

340 Catterick-Beeno is a lightly raced,improving hurdler who only found a subsequent winner too good for it,last time out.
A repeat of that run wins this and it must go close for a yard that have a 30% strike rate here.
Snowed In goes well here but is thoroughly exposed while Raise A Spark is in decent form but is weighted to the hilt being 12Ibs above its last winning mark.
Back Beeno 18pts at 3.0 at Various Bookies-2nd(-18pts)I felt it should have won.The money was there.

340 Sedgefield-A process of elimination leaves you with Wish In A Well here.
It arrives on the back of 2 good runs and with conditions ideal then it really should take a bit of beating.
Triptico used to be decent but is very lightly raced in recent times and would need to have come on a fair bit for its reappearance run to take a hand.
Sergeant Pink probably wouldnt want it heavy anyway but a record of 0w-0p-18r between February and April doesnt suggest a big run here.
What A Dream will handle the ground but isnt running to its best at present.
Detour Ahead was probably flattered by its run last time out in a novice chase and isnt reliable.
Back Wish In A Well 20pts at 2.75 at Various Bookies-4th(-20pts)Absolutely legless.Hasnt run its race at all.

310 Lingfield-My Target is the most likely winner with form figures of 1-1-1-2-2 over this course and distance but its the right price and wouldnt want this to get tactical.
Alfred Hutchinson is always a force around here but looks too short to me in the market.
Intransigent has to prove itself over this trip while Lunar Deighty doesnt look the horse it was.
The value lies with Captain Cat,who isnt as good as it was but its handicap mark reflects that.
Its now 10Ibs lower than its last winning mark,its 3w-1p-8r in fields of 7 or less and ran its best race yet for its new yard last time out.
Back Captain Cat 5pts at 11.0 at betway-UP(-5pts)
240 Warwick-Quite a tight race but I would have Knockgraffon shorter than its currently trading.
The trainer runs two in this but this horse looks the first string,with each of its chase runs showing a progressive rating and I would have it around the 7/4 mark.
Gino Trail is a threat(if it runs as its declared elsewhere) but is around the right price while Overtown Express is improving and if doing so again,will be thereabouts.
Back Knockgraffon 11pts at 4.3 at Betvictor/Betway/Ladbrokes-UP(-11pts)2 hopeless runs

155 Doncaster-This looks a 2 horse race to me and I would have the front 2 in the market,much closer prices than they are.
You have to respect Pithivier,whos improving but preference is for Twojayslad.
This horse has only had 3 starts over fences and produced a career best last time when winning over 2m4f after a lengthy absence.
This extra distance should be ideal and its 2 wins from 7 starts in fields of 10 or more.
Back Twojayslad 12pts at 4.5 at Various bookies-PU(-12pts)Looked a big runner until making a terrible error 4 out.
250 Huntingdon-Protek Des Flos could be anything,coming from a big yard,with top connections but it did finish tailed off last time(Albeit over fences) when it was well backed and has questions to answer after that.I couldnt support it until it showed much more but it makes the market for others.
It has to be a surprise that Allee Bleue is available at 4/1.
It hosed up by 26 lengths last time out and is very well treated under its penalty here.
That was its first run at this trip and with a 2 from 3 record here plus a 4w-0p-6r record between January and March then it would be a shock if it wasnt involved at the finish.

435 Sedgefield-Chestnut Ben holds a class edge over most of these and drops into a class 5 for the first time since 2013 and that is despite running 2 good races the last twice.
Its 4w-7p-19r in this grade and 5w-2p-21r between December and February and heads my ratings.
There was a slightly bigger price available earlier but it still looks value to me for a horse 13Ibs below its last winning mark.
Roxyfet is 4w-2p-13r at this track but has produced 5 poor runs this season.
Dunhallowcountry has ran plenty of good races recently but a win record of 1/38 says it all.
Captain Sharpe won this race last year and isnt out of it while Sky Full Of Stars is still fairly unexposed over fences but looks very short to me in the market.

315 Musselburgh-Drumcliff was favourite for a much more competitive race than last Saturday at Cheltenham and appears here just half a point shorter in the betting,than it was a week ago.
It should be around the 6/4 mark and looks a tremendous bet for a yard that dont come up here for the fresh air.
Optimus Prime is the main danger.
Back Drumcliff 20pts at 3.5 at various bookies-UP(-20pts)Incredibly disappointing run.
335 Sandown-It may be approaching the veteran stage of its career but I cannot see for the life of me what Loose Chips is doing at a double figure price here.
Its optimum circumstances are 3 miles around Sandown(Form Figures 3rd-1st-2nd-1st-2nd) and you can be assured this horse will give it a great go from the front as its normally a fine jumper.
Beg To Differ normally comes to life this time of year(Jan-Mar 4w-2p-7r) and is 1 from 1 around this track,so its respected although the yard continue to struggle to find top form.
Otago Trail and Irish Saint have chances while Rock The Kasbah is still unexposed over fences.

355 Catterick-Despite a very slight query if the ground got very soft, im still surprised Inchcolm isnt at the top of the market.
This horse represents last years winning stable and produced a career best last time out when looking like any further than 3 miles would be a bonus.
It gets that here and the application of first time blinkers could help it produce another good run.
Tommy The Rascal is up in class but should like this trip for a yard that do well here.It needs to improve a fair bit on what its done so far however.
Proud Gamble is consistent but looks beatable and is 0w-1p-11r going left handed while Black Narcissus looks to be improving although this isnt its best trip.
Back Inchcolm 10pts at 5.0 at Various Bookies-3rd(-10pts)Well backed into 9/4 & went well for a long way but some untidy jumps at important times probably cost it.

405 Southwell-Alpha Tauri was finally stepped upto a mile last time out and rewarded that move with an easy win,over this course and distance,making it 10 career wins here.
If it can back that run up,under a young jockey whos 2 from 4 on it then it should take a bit of beating.
I would certainly have the prices around the other way at the top of the market,as although Shearian is 2/2 for its current trainer,it is 0w-1p-15r in this class of race.
Back Alpha Tauri 14pts at 3.5 at various bookies-2nd(-14pts)Weak in the market but still ran a good race although Shearian is clearly a different horse for its current yard.
