28th February

 210 Fontwell-The Crooner might win but its far too short here,I`m happy to take it on.

Invincible Cave holds chances but is around the right price and drying ground wouldnt be ideal for it.

Cherokee Bill has been running fairly solid but may prefer it a little shorter,so if Magic River can put it all together then I can see it going close.

Its run 3 starts back,saw it post a rating that wins this race and theres been a little support overnight,so Im hopeful of a big run.

Back Magic River 8pts at 6.0 at Various Bookies-2nd(-8pts)Always outpaced

350 Hereford-Tinkers Hill Tommy is a fair favourite ,it ran well on its first start for Rebecca Curtis and if it comes on from that then its a big threat but it may bounce off that run and as its only managed 2 runs in the last 3 years,its clearly fragile.

First Figaro reappears after 417 days but Ive no doubt the trainer will have it fit and well,however this horse has a very patchy profile and has never won a handicap in 25 career starts.

The value is Overawed,who has been in consistent form and looks more likely than most to run its race.

Back Overawed 9pts at 5.5 at Hills-Non Runner(DT-8pts)Disappointing month.

Monthly Total-31.50pts

Running Total+347.50pts

27th February

350 Newcastle-The lightly raced Hooligan looks to hold decent chances here and any further progression would make it tough to brat.

Its already top rated on its latest run which was just over a longer distance and this stiff finish should be ideal.

Fransham is the danger,as its been in fine form all season .

Back Hooligan 18pts at 3.5 at Various Bookies-Won(+45pts)Touched 60.0 in running and somehow won

26th February

 645 Wolverhampton-The Pretty Way has a decent chance but looks very short for a horse that has to prove its stamina while Halwa Azyan seems to get going too late in its races.

So at a price,maybe Gonzaga can put it all together finally.Its yet to get its head in front but its running so well and posting good enough figures to take this.

There should be a strong pace to aim at and come home strong.

Back Gonzaga 6pts at 7.5 at Various Bookies-2nd(-6pts)If any race sums up this month then this was it.Given a perfect ride,it went to the front and pulled two lengths clear but gradually got reeled in and lost on the nod.

435 Lingfield-Pop Dancer is definitely the value here.Its top rated and has a fine record of 4w-2p-8r in fields of 7 or less and 4w-2p-10r at this trip.

It finished in front of the fav last time and should be around the 11/4 mark.

Saaheq won well at the weekend and appears well treated under a penalty but this is a quick turnaround.

Outrage was below par last time at Newcastle but has run to its best in both previous visits here although its 0w-0p-10r between Feb and June.

Tin Hat drops down to 5 furlongs which may suit but it does find winning difficult.

Back Pop Dancer 9pts at 5.0 at Various Bookies-UP(-9pts)

353 Warwick-There are no negatives in Springtown Lake`s profile as it bids to follow up its win in this race last year.

Its 4w-2p-10r at this trip and is at home on the soft ground.

It ran over a trip too far last time and didnt take to the national fences the time before but its run first time out this season was a fine effort and the trainer has won this race twice in the last 6 years.

Main danger has to be Espoir De Guye,who has the ratings if at its best although it may possibly be a little better going right handed.

Back Springtown Lake 8pts at 6.0 at Various Bookies-UP(-8pts)-DT(23pts)

25th February

257 Chepstow -You can pick holes in most in this but Perfect Man looks well overpriced to me.

Its a course winner,which is so vital around here and likes soft ground(4w-0p-10r),its 2 from 5 in the month of February and an impressive 3w-0p-4r in fields of 7 or less like this.

I would have it at a single figure price.

If Poker Play can back up its latest effort then it should win but its very inconsistent while Black Kentucky reverts back to hurdles after some shocking runs over fences this season.

Back Perfect Man 1pt at 21.0 at Bet365/Tote-3rd(-3pts)Nicely backed and touched 2.3 in running.Shame it missed the last hurdle as it may have got close.

327 Chepstow-Zambezi Fix is definitely the value in this race,

It posted a good rating last time out at this track and if it can cope with the drop in trip then it really should go close.Ive got it around the 5/2 mark on my tissue.

Funambule Sivola is the clear main danger,as a progressive chaser but its a tight enough price.

Arian isnt out of it as its 1/1 at this track but often loses its form at this time of year(Feb/Mar 0w-0p-5r)

Back Zambezi Fix 6pts at 8.0 at Paddys/Betfair-2nd(-6pts)Ran really well but the fav was too strong.(DT-9pts)

23rd February

 320 Wetherby-Everything points to a big run from Eceparti here.

Its gradually edging down the weights,it won on its only start over course and distance(posting a carrer best rating),soft ground is fine and the trainer has a 33% strike rate here.

Cybalko races under a penalty and off a career high mark,its had a fine season and isnt discounted but this trip is also a little further than it prefers and it looks vulnerable.

Manetti looks up against it on my ratings while Caboy ran well last time but is inconsistent.

Back Eceparti 14pts at 3.5 at Various Bookies-4th(_14pts)Really underwhelming performance.

215 Wetherby-Snougar is handicapped to win now and returns to a track where it won on its only other chase start here.

Its 2w-0p-4r in Feb and March and if it can run close to its previous visit here then its a big runner.

Im not sure I trust Relkadam and certainly not as favourite,its 0w-1p-6r in this class and finished 15 lengths behind the selection on its only run here.

Rollerruler is 0 from 12 in its career and moves up in grade,the horse that beat it last time has done nothing for the form.

I did keep looking at Las Tunas as its 2/2 here and this is its trip but its record after a break is poor(61 days + 0w-0p-6r),if the money comes then I would be wary of it.

Back Snougar 7pts at 6.5 at Skybet/Bet365-2nd(-7pts)Ran well but Relkadam hosed up.

440 Newcastle-Theres no doubt Caribeno is a tough opponent here but it is up in the weights and moves up 2 grades plus its got more distance to cover.It may well suit but on a track its never raced on and where its stallion has just a 3% strike rate,we may be able to get the odds on shot beat.

Manjaam is greatly respected as its 3/3 here but at the prices I just prefer Busy Street.

This horse is nicely handicapped on the flat and has been in fine form in jumpers bumpers,over this course and distance,since it joined this in form trainer.

Its the only horse to have won in this grade and has the ratings to take this.

Back Busy Street 6pts at 7.0 at Various Bookies-3rd(-6pts)They strolled round but it came to win the race(Touched 1.6 in running) but flattened out.(DT-27pts)

22nd February

 135 Carlisle-This will be a staying test and that should suit Scottish Accent,who has easily the best two ratings in the race,if it runs to its best.

Its got form over further and after only four starts over fences,its more unexposed than the majority of the field.

Central Flame ran well last time but is inconsistent and 0/15 over fences while Westend Theatre moves up in class and is actually 3Ibs out of the handicap.

Trongate could be the danger as its become very well handicapped now.

Back Scottish Accent 12pts at 4.33 at various Bookies-Won(+40pts)Power packed ride and with a willing partner.

Monthly Total-9.5pts

Running Total+369.5pts

21st February

 417 Uttoxeter-This is quite competitve for the grade but im surprised Easy Bucks isnt shorter.

Its 2 from 2 at this track and drops in class here.

Eaton Miller is just 1 from 27 in its career while Pleney is unexposed as a chaser but is inconsistent.

The biggest danger is probably The Ogle Gogle Man whos on a decent mark back over fences.

Back Easy Bucks 10pts at 5.0 at Various Bookies-Pulled UP(-10pts)

20th February

 240 Haydock-I like the progressive Notachance here,After only 6 runs over fences and 11 in total,its produced a progressive rating in each and every one.

On what its done so far then it has a good as chance as any but with the possibility of more to come then it should be favourite for me.

The trip and ground are fine and Tom Cannon is 3w-2p-6r on it,it should be able to just sit off a decent pace and pick them off.

Sojourn is also lightly raced but moves up in class and has it to do on my figures while similar sentiments apply to Enqarde,they both look underpriced to me.

The Two Amigos is 10Ibs higher than when it last won off back in 2019 and has failed to trouble the judge in two runs at this track.

Lord Du Mesnil and Ramses De Teillee both have the back class to take a hand but have to bounce back while Achille has to produce the goods again on its seond run back after a long absence.

Back Notachance 7pts at 6.0 at Betvictor/Bet365-UP(-7pts)Just another in a long line of poor tips

19th February

 300 Lingfield-Various doubts surrounding several here,Uther Pendragon ran well last time and is consistent but 3 wins from 58 runs isnt great,its never won at this trip and its up 2 grades from last time.

Ritchie Valens has to prove itself at this trip while Punting and Arctic Sea have similar concerns.

At a nice price,I think Renardeau is value here.Its 3w-1p-6r at this track and drops in grade.

Its been running consistently and its won off this mark before ,its the only horse to win at the trip and gets Richard Kingscote onboard for the first time.

Back Renardeau 7pts at 6.5 at Hills-3rd(-7pts)Looked a big threat 2 out but one paced.

242 Fakenham-Tom Cannon doesnt travel this far east that often but its worth taking note when he does(6 wins from 11 rides in the last 2 years).

He has only two booked rides but the best one looks to be Kap Auteuil.

This horse posted easily its best rating when dropped back in trip and was well supported that day,it should take the beating if it can repeat or better that run.

Postman drops in class and is probably the main danger.

Back Kap Auteuil 20pts at 3.0 at Bet365-Won(+40pts)Won easily(DT+33pts)

18th February

 1230 Leicester-Im keen to take on Underworkandunderpaid here,its been in decent form but it is 0w-1p-12r in this class and 0w-1p-6r going right handed,so there are doubts.

Early money has been for Muckamore and it is unexposed with the slight drop in trip likely to suit but id want to see the ratings needed to win this before supporting it.

After several poor runs ,Newberry New burst back to life and posted a rating that can win this.

Its very well weighted on its best form and is 3w-0p-5r in february,with the heavy ground being no issue.It looks the value to me.

Back Newberry New 11pts at 4.33 at Paddys/Betvictor/Betfair-3rd

830 Chelmsford-Cozone looks short to me here,its been consistent but beatable and with no course form to its name then it has be taken on.

Central City drops in trip and will need a good gallop to be seen at its best while Hotspur Harry isnt out of it and finished behind a subsequent winner last time but that was at Southwell.

One who has no issues with the track is Bayston Hill(5w-3p-8r) ,its still on a winning mark and with 8 wins at this trip then it looks a big player.

Back Bayston Hill 9pts at 5.5 various bookies-2nd(DT-20pts)

17th February

 620 Kempton-I really like Lequinto here.Its consistent and progressive and posted a career best rating when upped to a mile for the first time, last time out.

That was also its only start at this track and with form figures of 1-2-2-1 in this class then its difficult to see it not running well.

Thrill Seeker is also consistent but has been getting beat in a lower grade than this and it has to prove itself up in class.

Thrave has been in decent form on the all weather but all of it has been at Southwell and the stallion has only got a 7% strike rate here.

Back Lequinto 16pts at 3.25 at Bet365-3rd(-16pts)Cruised into it but went nowhere,very disappointing.

320 Wolverhampton-Album is respected as its in great heart at present but this is 2 grades higher than its last win and its a tight enough price.

Take it on with Invincible Larne who is also in good nick and consistent,its one of  only 2 horses in this that have won in this grade on the All weather.

This is its first start at this track but the sire does ok here and in fact boasts a 31% strike rate(41wins/132 runs) with its progeny making their first start here priced 5/1 and under.

Back Invincible Larne 8pts at 6.0 at Bet365-3rd(-8pts)One paced when it mattered

405 Hereford-Aurelia Or makes its handicap debut and steps up signifcantly in trip,that should suit but the bookies are taking no chances with its price.

Royal Claret goes well here and at its best will be thereabouts but its not quite been at that level this season.

Dame Du Soir has been in decent form but now steps up 9 furlongs in trip,that has to be a concern.

You couldnt call Coded Message well handicapped but this is the furthest trip its tried and i think it will suit.

Its got the ratings to take this and looks a fair price to me.

Back Coded Message 7pts at 7.5 at Various Bookies-UP(-7pts)Just backed out of it,strange run.Rubbish day(DT-31pts)

16th February

 640 Newcastle-With 4 course wins to its name,its clear Chosen World likes this place.

It does move up in class here but its won in the grade twice before and is 2w-2p-6r on a standard to slow track plus also 4w-6p-16r when wearing cheek pieces like today,on my ratings it should be shorter.

Ghatanfar is consistent but is creeping up the weights and looks vulnerable to me.

With Promise looks the main danger after Bobby Joe Leg ran a stinker last time.

Back Chosen World 8pts at 5.5 at Bet365-UP(-8pts)Looked briefly dangerous but flattened out.

710 Newcastle-Global Warning looks a dodgy fav to me here,it got stuffed at odds on last time and is 11Ibs higher than its win here,two starts back.Add to that a record of 0w-2p-6r on standard to slow tracks and it needs to be taken on.

Im hoping Spartan Fighter can dominate from the front here,its generally posted a string of progressive ratings with its latest over this course and distance ,its best yet.

Its 2w-0p-3r in fields of 7 or less like this and 3 from 6 when retuning to the track within 30 days,if its not taken on upfront early on then it will take a bit of pegging back.

Kind Review goes well here but is on a career high mark now.

Back Spartan Fighter 12pts at 4.5 at Bet365-UP(-12pts)Absolutely massive drifter and therefore,knew its fate before it ran.

15th February

 425 Wolverhampton-True Hero looks very short to me here.It won last time out but that was on a different surface and it was stuffed on its only visit here.

Amazing Amaya has run several good races here and has posted its best ratings at this track,with a strong pace to run at,it should go close.

I would have it as favourite.

Nellie French looks the main danger to me,as it posted a good rating over course and distance last time.

Back Amazing Amaya 8pts at 5.0 at Tote-UP(-8pts)Frustrating to see Nellie French win.

530 Wolverhampton-Nate The Great is on a nice mark now and has been knocking on the door,its hit the frame on both starts here and hopefully it can go one better here.

Lucky Deal is improving but has no track form to its name,on my ratings,it needs to continue to improve to take a hand here.

Back Nate The Great 4pts at 3.25 at Bet365-Won(+36pts)Always well placed and stayed on well.

630 Wolverhampton-This is a decent race but a record of 3w-1p-6r at this track means Assimilation holds strong claims.

Luke Morris is 3w-1p-7r on it and its still fairly unexposed at this trip.

Sky Defender is running well but is now 9Ibs higher than its last winning mark on the all weather,so the biggest danger looks to be Power Of States,who is 1/1 over this course and distance.

Back Assimilation 14pts at 3.5 at Bet365/Tote-UP(-14pts)Weak in the betting and a very poorly judged ride from Luke Morris didnt help.(DT+14pts)

14th February

 150 Southwell-8 furlongs around this track clearly suits Straitouttacompton(Form figures 1-5-1-1) and 3w-1p-6r in this class plus there should be plenty of pace to go at,this horse should hopefully break the current poor run.

Maykir also goes well here but hasnt managed a place in any of its runs in this class while Native Silver has been running quite well but is aan infrequent winner.

Back Straitouttacompton 18pts at 3.25 at Bet365-Won(+36pts*rule 4*) Winning looked unlikely coming into the straight but it stuck on well.

250 Southwell-Mukha Magic is a big runner with a record of 4w-1p-6r at this track and 4 from 6 in this class but it has to be a concern that its 0w-0p-5r at this trip,it could be vulnerable.

I like the unexposed Caribeno,this horse is improving and should improve further for the step up in trip.

It makes its fibresand debut but its sire has a decent 16% strike rate here,so I doubt that will be a problem.

Back Caribeno 18pts at 3.25 at Various Bookies-Won(40.5pts)Dominant performance and won easily.(DT+76.5pts)

13th February

 545 Wolverhampton-Arafi has been in good form and is improving but its price looks tight to me with no track form to its name.

Love Destiny is another who was going well until turning in a below par effort last time and once again,its looks underpriced on its first visit here.

I like Jackstar,who drops back into a class 5 for the first time in nearly 2 years.It won that race over this course and distance and represents a yard that have a 24% strike rate in the last few weeks,its a big price.

Critical Thinking is another overpriced,as its very consistent around this track and has the ratings to be there at the finish.

Back Jackstar 6pts at 7.0 at Various Bookies-4th(-6pts)Fav far too good.

12th February

 No Selections

11th February

 730 Newcastle-It seems odd that a few at the top of the market have questions to answer on the distance front.

Broctune Red is consistent but likes it here but its raced over further generally and is now 10Ibs higher than its last winning mark while Dramista is another that appears to prefer further.

Thats not the case for Bobby Joe Leg,who drops in class despite winning last time,its got 4 course wins to its name and its running style suits this track,so i expect it to be handy in a race without too much obvious pace and a host of horses that prefer further,it should be clear favourite.

Back Bobby Joe Leg 14pts at 3.5 at Various Bookies-3rd(-14pts)Another to have run miles below par.

10th February

 615 Wolverhampton-Beat Le Bon would be a big threat here if it had some track form and any type of record after a break but it hasnt and it looks underpriced to me.

Keyser Soze cleans up in lower grades than this but is an infrequent winner when appearing in this class and is another without track form.

I can see Revolutionise going well as its in good form but for me ,this is all about Tranchee.

Its top rated,has finished 1st and 2nd(Beaten a Short Head) in its 2 runs at this track,is 2 from 3 in fields of 7 or less like this and is 2w-4p-6r in this class.

It should take the beating.

Back Tranchee 20pts at 3.0 at Bet365-2nd(-20pts)Backed into odds on and looked the clear winner after moving to the front 2f out but seemed to find very little.Another disappointment in a tough month so far.

9th February

515 Southwell-Love Your Work took this race last year and looks well set up for a return bid.

It came back to form last time and races off a 3Ibs lower mark than its last winning mark.

With 4 course wins to its name(Its got no wins elsewhere) so this surface clearly suits it best.

Iva Reflection has been going well here of late but this is a rise in class for it.

Liamba looks the biggest danger as it drops in class but it is 3Ibs higher than the highest mark its ever won of.

Back Love Your Work 18pts at 3.0 at Bet365-3rd(-18pts)Never Dangerous.

230 Taunton-Embole looks a vulnerable fav to me here,its inconsistent and is only 1/18 in its career.

Take it on with Russian Service who is 2 from 4 at this track and likes this ground,if it can repeat its latest effort then it should go close.

Its 3w-1p-8r between January and March and I would have it as favourite.

Nocte Volatus cant be relied upon but does have the ratings to figure.

Back Russian Service 2pts at 5.5 at Various Bookies-Meeting Abandoned

330 Taunton-Eclair Surf let us down last time out when weakening after hitting the front 2 out.That was not what I was expecting but its only had 3 runs over fences and this sharper track will probaby suit better for a trainer with a 31% strike rate here and with her job jockey onboard(63% for the yard).

Its worth another chance.

Orrisdale is gradually improving and rates a danger but it has been raised 4Ibs for finishing second last time out.

Cuban Pete is best going right handed but its 0w-0p-3r on heavy ground and its got it to do on ratings.

Back Eclair Surf  3pts at 4.33 at Bet365/Paddys/Betfair--Meeting Abandoned

7th February

 355 Musselburgh-This is quite competitive but the lightly raced Hills Of Connemara appeals the most.

This horse won nicely on only its second chase start and is also unexposed at this trip.It looks a decent price to me.

Eagle Rock likes it here with 3 course wins but tends to operate better at a lower level while Event Of Sivola places more often than anything else.

Big Difference is yet to break its duck over fences and probably wants better ground.Definite Wisdom appeals as the biggest danger as its 2 from 3 here and a late blunder last time cost it.

Back Hills Of Connemara 8pts at 6.5 at Paddys/Betvictor

425 Musselburgh-There has been money for Gallaghers Cross but its difficult to see why.Unless its been transformed since we last saw it then it looks a favourite to take on.(Trainer 0/17 at the track)

Golden Emblem won nicely last time but its up in class,ratings and trip,never my favourite combination.

Arnica is 0/11 now while Get The Appeal represents top connections but they seem to be scrapping around trying to find its best trip.Bollingerandkrug is unexposed and moves into handicap company but needs to improve on what its shwn so far,so I like Bullion Boss,who`s ratings suggest its improving sharply.

It likes this track and should have a nice pace to run at.

Back Bullion Boss 7pts at 6.0 at Skybet/Betvictor-UP(-15pts)Two poor runs

6th January

 338 Wetherby-A few unexposed ones in here making their handicap debut but none appear as well treated as Wetlands.

This horse has only had 3 runs and posted a fine rating and the best speed figure in the race when winning last time out,it also appeared to be very well suited to heavy ground,which is a bonus at the moment.I would definitely have it in shorter.

Dharan and Witness Protection are the other handicap debutantes but neither appear that well in.

Laskadine looks short to me,although it won last time,that was in 2 grades lower,its 0w1p-6r in fields of 9 or less and hasnt managed a single place in 5 starts in this class.

Back Wetlands 3pts at 3.75 at Skybet/Betvictor-Meeting Abandoned

240 Musselburgh-Encountering soft ground over fences for the first time,saw Rikoboy produce a career best and posted easily the best rating in this race.

If it can back that up then theres no doubt its still well handicapped and its interesting this is the first runner this trainer has sent here for 5 years.

The obvious fly in the ointment is the difficult to assess Rockadenn,who represents a yard that have won the last 3 runnings of this.It hasn`t raced over fences here in the UK yet however,so although its respected,its a tight price.

Back Rikoboy 2pts at 5.0 at Skybet/Betvictor/Willaim Hill-2nd(-10pts)Well backed into 5/2 and held every chance but got beat a neck.

5th February

 110 Lingfield-Unforgiving Minute drops back into a class where its tough to beat(8w-1p-11r)

Add to that 5 course wins and 10 distance wins and surely this must go close with leading rider Adam Kirby onboard.

Doc Sportello has a ratings chance but this doesnt appear to be its track,having only beaten 7 rivals in 5 runs here,it surely has to be vulnerable.

Mindurownbusiness has easily the back class to win this but hasnt been seen for nearly 5 years!

 100 Wincanton-Numitor is a fair market leader here and if it runs like it did last time on its chase debut then it will be tough to beat but there is likely to be competition for the lead and this is a vastly different track to Ffos Las,where it won last time.

Take it on with Jackson Hill ,who did us a favour last time,when coming from well off the pace to win over course and distance.With the likely strong pace,it should be able to creep into it and be produced late.

Back Jackson Hill 6pts at 8.5 at Betvictor-2nd(-6pts)Everything panned out as I thought except Numitor stuck on too strong.

600 Chelmsford-On its first start at this track last time,Fly The Nest produced a rating that gives it strong claims here.

Its been in consistent form of late and should be bang there at the finish.

Casina Di Notte is a danger but the jockey has only ridden in 1 race before and that has to be a worry.

Back Fly The Nest 7pts at 6.0 at Paddys/Betfair-2nd(-7pts)beaten in a photo(DT-13pts)

3rd February

 305 Warwick-This is a good race but Zambella boasts an unexposed and progressive profile and it should be favourite on my figures.

It won on its only start at this track and should be able to just sit off ,what could be a contested pace.

Happy Diva has the back class to take this but its best ratings have come around Cheltenham.

Annie Mc is respected but its a tight enough price for me while Momella is in good form but has to improve on my ratings.

Back Zambella 11pts at 4.33 at Bet365-2nd(-11pts)Nicely backed and ran a good race(Touched 1.3 in running) but was outstayed.

525 Kempton-Its last 2 ratings have shown Viva Serendipity is ready to strike again.

Its ran above its mark in 2 of its 3 runs at this track and is back on its last winning mark.In fields of 11 runners or less its record is 7w-5p-20r.As a hold up performer,its need a decent pace to run at and if it gets it then it should go close.

Starshiba makes a quick return to the track after its latest win ,its up in class and up in trip(not my favourite combination) and could be vulnerable.

Sanaadh is running well also but its run 2 shockers on its previous attempts at this trip.

Back Viva Serendipity 12pts at 4.5 at Various Bookies-UP(-12pts)Was well placed but just went nowhere when it mattered.Very disappointing.(DT-23pts)

2nd February

 540 Southwell-If it gets out from the outside stall,theres a chance that Samovar can dominate this and make all.

There isnt a great amount of pace on and this horse is in great form at the moment plus it has 7 course wins to its name,I would definitely have it as favourite.

That honour goes to Nick Vedder,who is also in great form and is 3/3 over this course and distance,however this is a rise in class for it and my ratings suggest,it needs to improve again to beat the selection.

Vandad has some decent ratings but not on this specialist track and it is 0/14 in its career.

Excessable is consistent but is possibly in the handicappers grip at the moment.

Back Samovar 9pts at 5.0 at Various Bookies-UP(-9pts)Fell out the stalls unfortunately then rushed up and weakened badly.Worst run its produced in a while.

I did have my eye on Three C`s (4.40 Southwell) as it returns to a track where its finished 1-1-2-1 but my hopes of a fair price when the money came very early.

1st February

 300 Sedgefield-Sigurd has found a new lease of life recently and based on its latest rating,the winning hasnt stopped yet.

Its still nicely handicapped on its form from a few seasons ago and its 3w-1p-7r in todays headgear.

Its a very solid market leader.

Event Of Sivola was running well before falling last time but its record stands at 1/17 now.Derrick D`Anjou holds chances if you go back far enough.

Back Sigurd 12pts at 3.0 at Bet365/Betvictor

710 Wolverhampton-Lotte Marie looks short to me here,its up 2 grades and ran a shocker on its only start here,I think it provides some value elsewhere.

Red Poppy is still unexposed and should go well but its around the right price.

Unlike many in this,Stay Classy is a regular in this grade and is the only runner to have won up to this class.Its been a little below par lately but this could be run to suit with a strong pace up front,its the wrong price.

Back Stay Classy 5pts at 10.0 at Various Bookies-UP(-5pts)
