Any questions etc then please Email me at GARYBALDYSCOTT@AOL.COM Selections up by 9am...Tips advised from 1 to 30 pts.
255 Carlisle-Elysian Flame does hold a bit of a class edge here and drops in grade but its trainer has not had a winner with his last 42 runners and it looks a little short to me.
I like Foster`sisland,who is progressive,a course winner and won by over 20 lengths on both previous starts.
Barnay is another course winner but its more exposed and ive got it a few pounds behiind the principals.
Back Foster`sisland 5pts at 3.25 at Hills-3rd(-16pts)Smashed into evens but really got a poor ride.
420 Newcastle-Mick Maestro can be forgiven its latest run as its rein snapped.It heads my figures and the form of its run 2 dtarts back has been boosted.
The better ground will suit and it could get a solo up front.
Pay The Piper is progressive and rates the danger.
Back Mick Maestro 8pts at 5.0 at Betvictor/Paddys-4th
225 Uttoxeter-Shanty Alley is consistent and still on the up based on my ratings.
It has won around here and trip and ground are fine.
St Barts is unexposed but needs to improve again to trouble the selection.dc
Back Shanty Alley 7pts at 6.0 at Paddys/Betfair-3rd
300 Uttoxeter-Last time out was Mint Conditions worse run of the season.That was over the furthest trip its tried,so if it was the trip and not that the horse has had enough then its big value here.
It had been progressive before that and will appreciate the drop in grade.
Back Mint Condition 6pt at 8.0 at Bet365-2nd
445 Uttoxeter-Gaia Vallis burst into life over fences last time out and if it can translate that back to hurdles then its on a lenient mark here.
Its still very lightly raced ,so I would expect further progress if it can back that up.
Lady Cylla is fairly exposed despite running well last time while Kimberley could be much better on this ground but it needs to improve loads for it
Back Gaia Vallis 12pts at 4.0 at Bet365-UP (DT-33pts)
330 Fakenham-You have to respect the improving One More Fleurie but it is up nearly a stone and in class,so it will need to step forward again.
Defuture Is Bright hasnt been seen for a while but the trainer does ok here although this trip is a concern.
The value looks to be Templehills,who has pulled up the last twice but could be revitalised by the return to this track(2/2 here) and better ground.Its very well handicapped on old form.
Back Templehills 7pts at 6.5 at Hills-Fell(-7pts)Incredible drifter and ran like it was drunk.
305 Cheltenham-Looking through this,I just keep coming back to two time winner,Al Boum Photo.
With no doubts about wellbeing,stamina,ground or track form,its a deserved favourite and id have it more 2/1 than the current price.
A Plus Tard has got to prove it can get home over this trip while the same could be said for Champ although it does look like it will suit,however its jumping can be sketchy.
Minella Indo would prefer slower ground and Native River is surely too old at 11 now.
Back Al Boum Photo 11pts at 4.33 at Boyles-3rd(-11pts)Several little mistakes and jockey outridden at the final turn.(DT-18pts)
1240 Hexham-West End Lady posted a rating on its debut that would take a bit of beating here.
It hasnt produced it in two starts since but its been given a 79 day break and that may revitalise it,if it does then this lightly raced horse is value.
Lady Villanelle is also unexposed but looks on a fairly stiff mark on my figures while Gamesters Icon may appreciate the drop in trip and rates the main danger.
Back West End Lady 6pts at 8.0 at Bet365-3rd(-6pts)I was hopeful jumping the 2nd last as the leaders were stopping but it went nowhere.
650 Kempton-With a record of 5w-1p-8r over this course and distance then Uzincso must have a fair chance of adding to that.
Its at its best in a big field and although its got a tricky draw,its won from wider around here.
Back Uzincso 16pts at 3.25 at Hills/Bet365-Won(+48pts*BOG)Always well placed and was always holding on.
305 Cheltenham-There should be loads of pace on here and that will suit Sharjah.
It hit the frame in this last year and could easily do so again and hails from a yard that have won this 4 times in the last 10 years.
Honeysuckle has yet to face defeat but this is its toughest task to date while Epatante hasnt hit the heights of last season this year.
Goshen returned to form last time but will be up in the heat of the race here,from an early stage.
Back Sharjah 5ptS each way at 11.0 at Betvictor/Boyles/Betfred-2nd(+14pts)A good run but the winner far too good
450 Cheltenham-Next Destination looks set for a big run here.Its unexposed over fences and this trip.
It looks set to improve for both and must go close,granted a decent round of jumping.
Galvin has clearly been saved for this and rates a big danger but may just prefer better ground.
Back Next Destination 14pts at 3.5 at Various Bookies-2nd(-14pts)Another to run well but just got outstayed.
135 Southwell-Qaaraat drops from a class 4 into a class 6 and easily tops my ratings.
Its been running consistently and looks to have been found a fair opportunity.
Clear danger is the lightly raced Due A Win,who could be on a decent mark for its handicap debut.
True Hero is the other in with a chance but it looks up against it on my figures.
Back Qaaraat 15pts at 3.25 at Various Bookies-3rd(-15pts)below par run(DT-15pts)
247 Plumpton-Moroder looks to be improving and is unexposed as a staying hurdler.
I would have it as fav on my figures.
Blame The Game won well last time but finished 10 lengths behind the selection 2 starts back and is now 3Ibs worse off.
Deebaj is running well but is up 2 grades.
Back Moroder 9pts at 5.5 at Various Bookies-2nd(-9pts)Looked like it was coming to win but one paced
100 Stratford-Shut The Box drops in class and should go well but its got a habit of finding one too good.
Kap Auteuil did us a favour last time and that rating it posted suggests there more to come.I`d want it handy as it stays well.
Back Kap Auteuil 16pts at 3.5 at Bet365-Won(+40pts)Jumped well and won easy
203 Stratford-There should be a decent pace on here and that should suit Orrisdale,whos been in decent form and has a good chance of breaking its duck over fences.
I like the cheekpieces for the first time angle and its wins have come on left handed tracks.
Back Orrisdale 11pts at 4.33 at Hills-3rd(-11pts)Another to run well but not get it done.
340 Taunton-Beau Du Brizais is more reliable than most in this and drops into a grade where its gained 3 career wins.I would definitely have it at the top of the market.
This is easier than the races Danny Whizbang has been contesting but it may need the ground to dry out.
Back Beau Du Brizais 16pts at 3.25 at Hills-3rd(-16pts)Very odd betting heat with this very weak.(DT+4pts)
402 Hereford-You have to forgive a little but at the prices,its worth seeing if Hatcher can bounce back here.
Its down in class into a grade where its 2 from 3 and it returns during its best time of the season(Mar/Apr 3w-2p-5r) plus a fine 9w-0p-13r record in fields of 7 or less means theres enough there to warrant an interest.
Solomon Grey should go well while Marracudja came back to form last time but it remains to be seen if it backs that up.
Back Hatcher 4pts at 12.0 at bet365/888sport-UP(-4pts)Moved into and then dropped away quickly
455 Ayr-Ardera Cross excels at this track and with conditions to suit,its stamina should kick into play late on.Its 7w-2p-21r in fields of 7 runners or less also.
Pistol Park looks the obvious danger but consistency is not its strongest suit.
Back Ardera Cross 14pts at 3.5 at Various Bookies-Won(+35pts)Foot perfect and tough to past
820 Chelmsford-This could be the ideal trip for Single,as its just been weakening late on over 2 miles.
There doesnt look to be loads of pace,so it should be able to either to lead or sit handy.
Back Single 4pts at 13.0 at Bet365
1145 Wolverhampton-Although its more exposed than most,Nortonthorpe Boy goes well here(2/4 at the track) and at this trip(4w-1p-6r) ,it looks a fair price.
Back Nortonthorpe Boy 5pts at 10.0 at Various Bookies-5th(-5pts)Ran a fair race
415 Sandown-The step up in trip and back on decent ground should prove ideal for Stormy Flight.
Its been finishing close to some progressive rivals and looks a decent price.
Bard Of Brittany could have its work cut out under a penalty and up in class.
Back Stormy Flight 7pts at 6.5 at Bet365/Hills-3rd(-7pts)
700 Newcastle-The progressive Arafi is the right favourite but Toronado Queen is the wrong price here.
Its been consistent and gets this trip really well,it actually posted its best career rating on its first start at this track last time.It should be half the price it is.
Arafi is improving and might even be better over this trip but it is up 2 grades from its latest win.
Back Toronado Queen 6pts at 8.0 at Bet365-UP(-6pts)Backed into 7/4 and finished last!
350 Carlisle-Sabbathical looks a tight price based on its chasing career so far although the trainer does well when he sends one up here,id prefer to see more before supporting it.
Bingo D`Olivate is up in class but has the ratings to figure while Skipping On will like the conditions but is unlikely to be improving at 12 years old.
Maid O`Malley just needs to put it all together to take this.It came down when in front last time but that rating puts it in best here and after only 3 starts,it should still have some upside for a yard that have a 23% strike rate with their chasers here.
Back Maid O`Malley 9pts at 5.5 at Betvictor/Skybet-2nd(-9pts)Looked the winner 2 out but various jumping errors seem to take their toll.(DT-15pts)
320 Newcastle-If Sandy Thomson can bring Dingo Dollar back to life then it could be a big runner but this looks a good opportunity for She`sasupermack,who has form figures of 1-1-2 at this track and 1-2-1 in this grade.
Its up in trip but the stallion was best over this distance.
Gliteering Love is the other in with a chance but it wont want the ground to continue to dry out.
Back She`sasupermack 16pts at 3.25 at Various Bookies-3rd(-16pts)Market told you everything here as Dingo Dollar was hammered in
620 Southwell-Jewel Master looked a natural on this surface last time out and is taken to follow up that smooth victory.
Its best in small field(7 runners or less 2w-1p-4r) and there is lots of pace on here which will suit this horse.
Star Of St James like this course and distance but appeared to find its higher mark beyond it last while Daafr needs to be revitalised by this return to this venue.
Back Jewel Master 12pts at 3.75 at Various Bookies-3rd(-12pts)(DT-28pts)
1230 Southwell-Im surprised Ecossais isnt heading the market here.
Its 2/2 around this track and after 9 career runs,is still fairly unexposed.
Faustinovick has finished second on its last 3 starts and is clearly beatable while Rizzardo ran no sort of race last time out.
Back Ecossais 16pts at 3.25 at various Bookies-Won(+36pts)Second fine ride by this young jockey inside a week,to boot the tip home
230 Newbury-Probably the biggest issue will be getting Tegerek down to the start,its got all the ratings to take this so let hope it behaves.
535 Doncaster-Its not won for a while but from a ratings perspective,Ozzy Thomas holds a fine chance here.
The drying ground is in its favour and its on a nice mark.
The obvious danger is Twojayslad,whos won its last two and is clearly in good heart but this is 2 grades higher than last time and its never won off a mark this high.
Theres quite a bit of deadwood and out of nick horses in this race but Ballyhill could be a threat if it stays.
Back Ozzy Thomas 16pts at 3.25 at Various Bookies-3rd(-16pts)
300 Newbury-Shut The Box heads the market and I can see its chance but its never been the most consistent ratings wise and also moves up in grade.
Take it on with Defi Sacre,whos 2/2 over this course and distance and has the figures to take this.
Est Lilic heads the dangers for me as its 1/1 in this grade.
Back Defi Sacre 9pts at 5.5 at Various Bookies-3rd(-9pts)Both ran well but not well enough(DT-25pts)
115 Musselburgh-Eagle Ridge should go well as its got 3 course wins to its name and it should handle the drop in trip but it was beaten off this mark last time and is plenty short enough.
Begoodtoyourself also holds chances but it needs to improve a little on my figures,so at a price, I think Path To Freedom is the value call.
Its unexposed at this trip and it preferred this ground in the point field.
Back Path To Freedom 5pts at 10.0 at Bet365-5th(-5pts)
300 Musselburgh-Kings Creek makes its handicap debut and my ratings suggest ,its on a decent mark.
If it can reproduce its run from 3 starts back then it has the beating of this field.
Balranald has tipped up on 2 of its last 3 starts,so looks a vulnerable fav to me while Sword Of Fate has 1 win in 3 years.
Back Kings Creek 5pts at 8.5 at Various Bookies-UP(-5pts)Two poor runs(DT-10pts)
Monthly Total+18pts
Running Total+365.50pts
200 Catterick-Course specialist Ask Paddy holds a strong chance here.
It loves it here with a 4w-1p-7r record and is at its best after a recent run(Returning to the track within 30 days 6w-0p-14r) and it drops in class into a grade where its a force with 4 wins from 10 starts.
It surely must go well.
Caventara looked a good prospect back in 2019 but the wheels have fell off since.
Another Emotion represents a yard that hasnt got going all season.
Back Ask Paddy 16pts at 3.25 at Bet365/Hills-2nd(-16pts)Jumped out to its right a lot and that could have made the difference.
230 Catterick-Back over hurdles,I expect First Man to carry on its progressive profile,the slightly better ground will also help and this is pretty weak.
Clear danger is Gold Runner ,who is unexposed over this trip but is penalised for its recent win.
Back First Man 12pts at 4.0 at Bet365-Won(+66pts*BOG*)Dug it out well and drifted too.
300 Catterick-If the same Relkadam turns up that won last week then it will definitely win but its not the most consistent and I couldnt have it at odds on.
Miss Amelia competes off a career high mark,it is in good form but its ran below par in two previous visits here while Pull Green is unexposed but needs to improve.
The value is Monsieur Co,who should be able to creep into it and if its at its best then its a crazy price.
Back Monsieur Co 4pts at 11.0 at Hills-UP
340 Leicester-We were on Miss Zip last time,when it was hammered in the betting but made a bad mistake early on and was pulled up.
I have got to give this well handicapped horse another chance particularly as its 3/3 during Feb and March.
Arqalina looks a vulnerable fav to me,as its on a career mark now after its latest win and marks near this have proved too much in the past.
The unexposed Boro Babe is probably the main danger.
Back Miss Zip 8pts at 6.0 at Various Bookies-PU(-8pts)Lifeless performance(DT+38pts)
240 Plumpton-The return to better ground should enable Jackson Hill to stay on the bridle,providing his jumping holds up.It tends to cruise through its races but doesnt find much when let down.
Its ratings suggest its improving and with a decent pace likely,I expect it to arrive looking strong 2 out and hopefully produce when it matters.
Dandolo Du Gute finished behind the selection last time and doesnt appear to be the most consistent.
Wemceslaus has 3 course wins to its name and is respected however,its off a career high mark.
Back Jackson Hill 2pts at 5.0 at Bet365-3rd(-10pts)Perfect set up for it but it couldnt deliver.
