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* 

8th July

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.

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)

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.

530 Pontefract-Nothing in this weak race has a compelling profile and it wouldnt be a surprise if there was a shock.

Maybe Rocket Ronnie can provide it.This horse is at its best during high summer(June to August 3w-2p-9r),likes a small field(0-9 runners 2w-1p-5r) and drops in class into a grade where its 2w-1p-8r.

The yards form is a slight negative and the horse may well have lost its way but theres a lot in its profile that suggests it could bounce back to form in this and the price is generous if it does.

Ellaal has probably the best recent form and is respected the most.

Back Rocket Ronnie 4pts at 17.0 at Betvictor(Accept 13.0)-UP(-4pts)Called the market spot on,as it got hammered into 4/1 but went lame mid race and im not even sure it managed to get over the finishing line.

230 Windsor-Unless Al Senad improves dropping back to 5 furlongs from 6 then this looks a good opportunity for Groundworker.

This horse has a very consistent profile and looks likely to run its race.

Its 1w-1p-2r when returning to the track within 14 days and Ryan Moore is 4 wins from 18 rides for this small yard.

Innocently needs to improve a few pounds to match the selection but isnt certain to handle it if it softens up while Gulland Rock will handle it but looks beatable.

255 Newmarket-The rain is supposed to arrive at HQ today and that will really suit Sheikhzayedroad.

This horse has contested group races the last 3 times and now drops into listed company and this is its time of year(June/July 2w-1p-4r)

It should arrive late on the scene and hopefully there will be plenty of pace on,which will suit it.

Battalion is another that needs rain,as does Rawaki and both are respected.

Gatewood carries a penalty but is a force in this grade(Listed 3w-2p-5r),it does have a little to find on my ratings however.

Back Sheikhzayedroad 11pts at 5.0 at Ladbrokes(Accept 4.5)-Won(+60.5pts Paid out at best odds guaranteed)A race ran in torrential rain but this horse showed true guts to fight its way to the front and hang on.

515 Newmarket-This is a really tight race with several holding a similar chance.

Monsieur Rieussec`s price is way out of line with the other principals that i consider holding a good chance and has to be supported.

This horse was hampered last time but still posted a decent rating and is 2w-1p-5r in June/July.

Urban Dance,Zain Eagle and Llanarman all hold decent claims but are the right price.

820 Newcastle-Anderiego returned to form last time and has a decent chance competing off a mark 9Ibs lower than it last won off.The stable are in good form.

Sound Advice has been running well and has finished 1st and 2nd in its 2 starts at this track,for another yard going well.

Brian Ellison has won this race twice in recent years and I expect his Big Storm Coming to put up a much improved performance.

Sbraase didnt get a clear run on its latest start but despite that,has it to do on my figures.It looks far too short.

Lay Sbraase 20pts at 4.5(lay upto 5.5)-UP(Cancelled)

710 Newcastle-I respect Pelerin,whos improving and was an unlucky loser last time but im not sure it should be favourite over Lily Rules.

The selection has ran in group races this season and should appreciate the drop into listed company.

Its 2 from 3 at this track and the trainer is 8 from 39 with his runners here.

Magic of Reality has chances on its form over a mile but needs to prove itself over this longer distance.

Back Lily Rules 12pts at 4.5 at various bookies.-UP(-12pts)Strong in the market but an unbelievably bad run.

250 Yarmouth-Roxy Lane suddenly burst into form last time.The trainer stated it had been suffering from sore shins and after only 5 runs on the turf,its pretty unexposed on the grass.

The biggest danger looks to be Lady Sylvia who gets Oisin Murphy onboard for the first time.

Speciality looks a bit shorter than I would have it especially as it likes to come 2nd a lot.

Back Roxy Lane 12pts at 4.3 at betvictor(Accept 3.75)-UP(-12pts)Finished right next door to Lady Sylvia,who it beat last time,so that race has clearly been overrated.Got the race completely wrong.

830 Chester-This is pretty wide open but Caramack looks nailed on to run well.This horse has been in really consistent form,its jockey is 3 from 5 for the yard and it has a good draw in stall 2.It looks difficult to keep out of the frame.

Tidentime has chances but stall 8 isnt going to help matters while similar comments apply to Piceno,whos only 1 stall closer to the rail.

Swift Cedar could run well but may prefer slower ground.

Back Caramack 4pts each way at 9.0 at corals/Bet365-4th(-8pts)Ground softened up a bit much then Fell out the stalls and stayed on late into 4th(of course)

455 Musselburgh-The obvious one here is Longshadow,who won 4 days ago and reappears under a penalty.

If its recovered it will run well but its a quick turnaround for a 2 mile race.

Mason Hindmarsh drops in class but is only 1w-5p-21r in fields of 9 or less.

Voice from Above has been inconsistent and so far,better at shorter.It did win well last time though and isnt out of it.

Underwritten lost its way badly last season and its possible that the horse isnt any good anymore.

However,It has joined a yard that have been in great form recently,its 14Ibs lower than its last winning mark plus 3w-1p-10r between May and July and Jason Hart is 2 from 9 for this yard.

This is its seasonal debut and the market will tell whether its ready but the price is big enough to warrant an interest.

Back Underwritten 5pts at 13.0 at Paddys(Accept 7.0)-3rd(-5pts)Ran well and probably one to be with next time with this run under its belt.(DT-37pts)

850 Hamilton-King Of Eden has a strong chance here.Finishing 2nd last time behind a very in form rival.Its actually 2Ibs lower here and is 10Ibs below its last winning mark.I have a slight negative on the trainers form and the price isnt quite big enough(I wanted 3/1) to get involved at the moment.

Bunce won last time but is up in class and on much faster ground,it looks vulnerable and should be taken on.

Khelman looks rock solid to run its race while Elusive George shouldnt be far away.

Lay Bunce 20pts at 6.0-UP(Cancelled)Finished last in the reduced field.Typical!

*Cancel or trade out if King of Eden,Khelman or Elusive George dont run*

750 Hamilton-Theres no doubt that Flycatcher is the most likely winner here,reappearing 9 days after its latest win and  it is greatly respected.

Mu`Ajizza broke its maiden last time and on its best form from last season,wouldnt be far away while Pigeon Pie ran well last time.

At the prices,Hala Hala makes some appeal.There are excuses for its 3 below par runs(2 latest and 1 last season),its final run of last year saw it up 2 grades and it will appreciate this drop in class.First time out this season,it was obviously its seasonal debut and it was also on Southwells all weather surface,in which many horses dont act.

Last time it raced on heavy ground which was unlikely to suit given both its wins have been on fast ground.

So back on its favoured surface and racing off a mark 1Ib lower than it last won off,theres enough to get involved at the price.

Back Hala Hala 5pts at 11.0 at Bet365/Skybet(Accept 10.0)-UP(-5pts)Weak in the betting and finished last.

810 Leicester-Rowlestone Lass has yet to win but has chances on its latest run over a bit further.This horse is due to go up 3Ibs from Saturday,so its possible the trainer has felt obliged to run it before the rise takes effect.This is quite possible as im not sure the drop in trip is what it wants. 

Theres no value in its price.

Highlife Dancer is a force in this grade(9w-3p-21r)but its handicap mark is about right,as is its price.

I could see Golden Jubilee running better than of late.Its been given a 41 day break since its last run but this is its time of year(May to July 3w-1p-9r),it drops in class into a grade where its dangerous(3w-1p-8r) and it won the last time it appeared in this class.

Its possibly a better horse on the all weather but it handles fast ground well and its a decent price,with the market leaders vulnerable.

Back Golden Jubilee 6pts at 8.0 at Paddys(Accept 5.5)-2nd(-6pts)The money came and it went odds on in running but it couldnt get it done.So frustrating at the moment(DT-11pts)

25th June

740 Bath-Desert Ace is respected after a good win last time and reappears under its penalty.Its got every chance but is very short considering ive got Groundworker top rated and still looking progressive.

735 Newton Abbot-There are a couple of unexposed sorts in this race and they both look to hold the best chance.

Ladfromhighworth is respected but I much prefer the claims of The Rattler Obrien.

This horse has only had the 2 starts over fences and is top rated on its latest performance over 2m4f.

It now steps up to todays trip that its 2 from 3 at and is a course and distance winner.

With expected improvement likely due to experience and trip,it really should go close.

Back The Rattler OBrien 12pts at 4.5 (Already Advised earlier)-4th(-12pts)Along with so many recently,very well backed but just hasnt run its race.

23rd June

840 Windsor-Stockhill Diva holds a good chance here and should go close as its one of the few to come into the race in decent form.

Back on turf,If I were a Boy should run well after a good run last time on the all weather.Both of these are the right price however.

At a very big price,theres a chance that Remix could bounce back after some poor runs.

Its obviously possible that the horse has lost its way but its been running on the all weather(0 from 15 on it),a surface its never done anything on and as a consequence its handicap mark has dropped plus last time back on turf,despite being well backed,it still ran poorly but that was on ground that was probably far too soft.

The fact that its back to its last winning mark and gets 10 furlongs on very fast ground for the first time since last summer,could be significant.

Its 2 from 2 under such conditions but I would like to see some money for it.

Back Remix 4pts at 13.0 at Various Bookies(Accept 9.0)-UP(-4pts)Horse has either completely gone or they were totally not trying,not sure which.

22nd June

430 Hexham-Playhara has won its last 4 and is obviously progressing but needs to do so again on my figures to take this.

The most likely winner is Mr Shantu,whos progressing and will be fine on the ground but its around the right price.

I`ll Be Frank is inconsistent but it goes very well at this track(4 runs finished 1st-2nd-1st-2nd) and its such a big price,it has to be supported.

Back I`ll Be Frank 4pts at 15.0 at Ladbrokes(Accept 9.0)-4th(-4pts)Money for it but never really looked like taking a hand.

340 Pontefract-Rawaki has been running well in similar events to this and deserves to get its head in front.The trip last time was a little too far and back to the distance where it went close 2 starts back gives it every chance here.

Waila didnt run very well on its seasonal debut but the yard are going much better now and I would expect a much improved run.

Freedom`s Light is progressing is the other in with a decent chance.

Back Rawaki 9pts at 5.5 at Ladbrokes(Accept 5.0)-Non Runner

320 Worcester-Unless Hi Note improves back over fences then this looks to be between Lost Legend and Forever My Friend.

The former is 3 from 3 around here and is very much respected although it was only a 3 runner event it won last time.

Forever My Friend represents a yard operating at a 20% strike rate at present and of all the field,this horse will love the fast ground.Its also a course and distance winner and is just top rated on its latest run.Ive got it 6/4 favourite on my prices.

Back Forever My Friend 14pts at 3.5 at various bookies-3rd(-14pts)Everything looked good until an horrendous jumping error 5 out and then another 2 fences later,completely knocked the stuffing out of the horse.(DT-18pts)

Bashiba improved to win last time and is the main danger while Raise a Billion is the other that should hit the frame.

Back Storyline 18pts at 3.0 at Betfair Exchange.-Wasnt Matched

250 Newmarket-Northside Prince is consistent but is a pretty infrequent winner,so despite winning last time,it looks pretty short to me.

Meetings Man drops in class,is 1 from 1 at this track and has promising claimer Cam Hardie onboard for the first time,it should run well.

Corn Maiden won last time but 0w-0p-4r in this class and looks better at slightly shorter.

The value is Camelopardalis,who represents last years winning stable.It ran below par last time but over much shorter and on ground too soft,its run the time before over slightly further gives it every chance.

Its profile enhances its chance.2w-0p-6r in fields of 9 or less...2w-0p-4r when returning to the track within 28 days....the jockey is 5 wins from 12 rides for this yard and the trainer has won with 2 of his last 7 runners.

Back Camelopadalis 9pts at 6.0 at Betvictor(Accept 5.0)-4th(-9pts)Hammered into 2/1 but in a pretty strange race to watch,put in a fairly laboured effort.Meetings Man winning was fair enough though.

335 Ayr-This is quite a tight handicap but Argaki looks a bit of value,after it returned to form last time.The stable have hit form with a vengeance the last few days and this horse normally starts doing its winning when June arrives.Its a course and distance winner and the young claimers 7Ibs allowance could make the difference.

One Pekan is a big danger as it has a very consistent profile and the horse it finished 2nd to last time,came out and won again yesterday.

Strictly Silver drops into this class for the first time in a long time and is respected while Muharrer and San Cassiano arent out of it but need to improve.

Back Argaki 7pts at 7.0 at Paddys/Betfair sportsbook/Ladbrokes(Accept 6.0)-3rd(-7pts)Another really well backed although holding every chance,just couldnt pick up.

720 Haydock-This looks a good opportunity for Angel Way,who produced a good effort last time and is now dropped in class.

Fast ground is ideal,as is the small field.Its form figures when getting 5f on fast ground with 8 or less runners read 2nd-1st-2nd.

It must go close.

Where the Boys are looks the main danger but is 0w-1p-6r in fields of 9 or less while Hannahs Turn looks best at Southwell.

Back Angel Way 16pts at 3.25 at Bet365/Betvictor(Accept 3.0)-3rd(-16pts)Completed a very disappointing day with a flat performance despite again,being strong in the market.(DT-32pts)

20th June

5.0 Ascot-Some may improve for the step up in trip but this really looks to concern Hartnell and Marzocco.

The latter is improving fast and is very much respected although it does have to prove itself on this much faster ground.

Hartnell represents a trainer that has won 6 of the last 13 runnings in this race.Its top of the ratings and stayed 10 furlongs as a 2yo,so this trip should be ideal.

Back Hartnell 9pts at 5.5 at Ladbrokes(Accept 4.5)-Won(+40.5pts)Looked like it was going to hose up 2 fiurlongs out but just held on

435 Market Rasen-This is a decent race with a few course specialists on show but Drumlang is such a big price that it has to be supported.

This horse probably needed its latest run after a break and on the best of last seasons form,its bang there.This is a little further than its gone before but it should stay and it will be fine on this fast ground.

Titchwood should run well as its quite lightly raced but Lucky Landing although going very well here,looks to be better at slightly shorter than this trip.

Book Em Danno is 5 from 8 around here and although needing to improve again,shouldnt be far away.

Back Drumlang 3pts at 19.0 at Bet365/Betvictor(Accept 13.0)-UP(-3pts)Just could never get into it.(DT+37.5pts)

725 Lingfield-Sonnetation has run at this track twice over this trip and finished 1st and 2nd.Its 3 from 9 over this trip and has a pretty consistent profile.

Its latest rating is the best in this race and its the one to beat.

Meddling and Princess Spirit are both respected as in form rivals while Bold Ring is a 6 time course winner.

Welsh Inlet is 0 from 21 at this track and has never won beyond 7 furlongs.Its ratings over a mile suggest its got at least 7Ibs to find.

Back Sonnetation 12pts at 4.5 at Bet365(Accept 4.3)-Won(+42pts)Hammered into 5/4 and just held on

LAY Welsh Inlet 20pts at 5.5-UP(Wasnt Matched)Drifted all day to the price I had it on my tissue.

*Cancel or trade out of lay if Sonnetation,Meddling or Princess Spirit dont run*

545 Ripon-Its not often Al Muheer can run in a class 5 run as it often operates at a higher level but when it does its a serious force(4 runs-2nd-1st-1st-4th)

Its been running itself into form and its latest 2nd suggest its about to strike.

Border Bandit goes well here and is a consistent animal.Its the main danger.

No Quarter has a squeak while Al Mukhdam has a chance as its stepped back up to its best trip for the first time this season and dropped in class.

Its hardly beaten a horse on its last 3 outings however and can only be watched.

Back Al Muheer 12pts at 4.5 at Paddys(Accept 4.3)-2nd(-12pts)Not a great ride in my opinion and really should have won.(DT+30pts)

4.0 Uttoxeter-A first time hood on Ballygrooby Bertie saw a much improved performance last time.If it continues to work and it reproduces anything close to that run then it should win this,as the rating it posted that day,is clearly the best on show here.

Ittirad was always going to be favourite with McCoy riding for John Ferguson but it will need to improve if the selection can bring its best form to the races.

Gud Day places more often than it wins while Olivers Gold is pretty in and out but isnt out of it on its win 2 starts back.

Back Ballygrooby Bertie 12pts at 4.5 at various bookies(Accept 4.0)-UP(-12pts)A very poor run.

520 Hamilton-You wouldnt want to take too short a price about this bunch of poor,inconsistent horses.

Remember Rocky clearly has the best recent form but will need to improve again to take this.

Kolonel Kirkup is very inconsistent but on pure ratings,has a chance while Vosne Romance is a 3yo,so has had less opportunities than some of these but looks a slightly better horse on softer ground.

At a big price,im going to chance that Taxiformissbryon can bounce back to form.Its best runs on turf have been at this track(Hamilton 3 starts-finished 1st-2nd and 3rd) and this is its first start here this season.

Its a 4 time winner in this grade and is 3w-2p-13r in fields of 9 or less.

Any rating close to its 3 runs here in the past,wins this!

Back Taxiformissbryon 4pts at 15.0 at Betvictor(Accept 9.0)-5th(-4pts)Was given every chance but weakened late on.Another disappointing day!(DT-16pts)

17th

520 Thirsk-Head Space has gradually been returning to form and normally gets going when June arrives.This horse wants 6 furlongs on a flat track and gets that here.

Its 7Ibs below its last winning mark and has a decent draw,it should hopefully come bursting through fast and late.

Avon Breeze is very much respected as an in form rival but looks better at 5 furlongs than todays trip.

Line of Reason has a chance if forgiven a poor run on Saturday while Bop It on last seasons best form,has a squeak.

Back Head Space 6pts at 9.0 at Betvictor(Accept 7.5)-4th(-6pts)Well backed in the morning into half the price but then drifted late on.This was probably because the ground had been over watered and wasnt good to firm as was described.The money suggests this horse is ready to win again but only when the ground is fast.

8.0 Brighton-Not that many that can be fancied for various reasons(Current form,stamina doubts etc).

Pick A Little has a chance but still has to fully prove itself at this trip while Fairy Mist ran well last time but has a poor win record of 1 from 24 on turf.

Who`s That Chick has a consistent profile and is the main danger to Little Indian,who has won 3 of his 8 starts on turf.

This horse also has a very consistent profile and is 1 from 1 around this track where course form is so vital.

Back Little Indian 8pts at 6.0 at bet365(Accept 4.5)-UP(-8pts)Again there was money for it but just didnt run its race.(DT-14pts)

14th June

355 Hexham-There cant be too many times Nicky Henderson has had runners at this track but the bookies have took no chances with Vasco Du Roncerary.

This creates a bit of value for Party Rock.This is a big drop in class for this horse and although it can be a little in and out,if it can bring its best form to the track then it will take a bit of beating.

Back Party Rock 11pts at 6.0 at Paddys(Accept 4.3)-Non Runner

505 Hexham-This is really weak and the lightly raced  over fences,Big George should run well.

This horse has only had 2 starts over the big obstacles and wont mind if it rains.The booking of Ryan Mania catches the eye and ive got it clear favourite.

Tony McCoy onboard for an Irish raider(Right Strategy) takes up a chunk of the market but it needs to improve.

Back Big George 7pts at 7.0 at Paddys(Accept 5.5)-UP(-7pts)Halved in price but its jumping went to pieces halfway round and was well beaten

13th June

735 Aintree-Dubai Prince heads the weights but is a far shorter price than its ratings suggest it should be.

McCoy onboard will contract any price but this horse has got at least 9Ibs to find with some of these and has to be taken on.

Minella Reception is improving and should be clear favourite while the unexposed Max Ward makes its handicap debut and could easily be better than these.

Knight in Purple should come on for its recent comeback run and has some solid back form to its name.

At a massive price,Maoi Chinn Tire could go well as it returns from 221 days.This horse has won 3 times from 4 starts first time out.

LAY Dubai Prince 20pts at 5.0-3rd(+20pts)By the off,Max Ward was a massive price!

*Cancel or Trade out if Minella Reception,Max Ward dont run*

905 Goodwood-Chris Wall has his horses in good form and Souville should run well here.

It posted a career best rating on its reappearance run and should come on for that.The trainer is 4 from 18 with his 3yos here and George Baker turns up in the final race for his only ride of the meeting.

Strategic Force looks the main danger as its an improving horse but Clive Cox`s horses havent been running that well.

Royal Warrior isnt out of it but hails from another yard under a cloud.

Back Souville 13pts at 3.75 at various bookies-Won(+35.75pts)Hosed up.

220 Musselburgh-Desert Colours is vulnerable here despite winning its last 5 races.It has no form on softish ground and looks better at a furlong shorter than todays trip.

Rainbow Rock should run well but better value could be Majorities,whos only had the 4 runs and is improving.

Brian Meehan has only ever sent 4 horses on the long journey to Scotland and hes won with 4 of them.

Back Majorities 9pts at 5.5 at Bet365(Accept 4.0)-Won(+40.50pts)Hammered into 6/4 and just got up close home.(DT+96.25pts)

230 Nottingham-A wide open event but Bilash catches my eye and has to be supported at a big price.

This horse normally runs well fresh,so its run first time out this season was a little disappointing but it was on rock hard ground at Bath and its notable that drifted markedly in the betting,so maybe it wasnt ready.

Back at its favourite track(Nottingham 2w-3p-9r) and dropping into a class 6 for the first time in 2 years(1 from 1 in this grade),it really wouldnt be a surprise to see it run much better.

This horse won a class 4 handicap off 2Ibs higher last summer,so its handicap chance is there for all to see.Another plus is good 5Ib claimer,Jack Duern being booked to ride and he was the last jockey to win on the horse.

Back Bilash 3pts each way at 13.0 at bet365/Betvictor(Accept 11.0)-UP(-6pts)

11th June

640 Hamilton-The market rather surprisingly has Lady Ranger at the top of the market.It won easily last time but achieved a poor rating and now has to prove itself back at 5 furlongs.The way it travelled on its latest start suggested that wouldnt be a problem but on my figures,it looks like it needs to improve for the drop in trip.

Scoreline and Raise a Billion fought out the finish over course and distance 14 days ago and I expect them to do the same again here.

The former is preferred as its proven on the softer ground and hails from the bang in form David O`Meara stable.

Ive got it around the 6/4 mark,so the current odds are pretty generous.

Back Scoreline 13pts at 4.3 at bet365(Accept 3.5)-UP(-13pts)This horse ran in keeping with this weeks selections.Uninspired and just not good enough!.

10th June

210 Fontwell-Friendly Society possibly isnt the most obvious type to follow up its last time out win but it shouldnt be fourth in the market on my ratings.

That win was over fences and it is a better horse over the bigger obstacles but its got good enough hurdle ratings to go close here.

Its 1 from 1 at this track and 2w-1p-6r in fields of 9 or less.

Vedani won last time and heads the market but normally struggles in this grade(Class 3 0w-2p-12r),so could be a vulnerable favourite.

Listen and Learn,Wither Yenot and Dollar Bill all have chances in an open race.

Back Friendly Society 6pts at 7.5 at Corals(Accept 6.5)-4th(-6pts)There was money for this and to be honest,I thought we looked the winner but it just seemed to get outpaced before staying on again.ee

440 Fontwell-Not the greatest race you will ever see and it should be a good opportunity for Egypt Mill Spirit to break its maiden.

Its been posting consistent ratings and unlike many in this event,should be capable of running its race on ground it handles fine.

Ladfromhighworth comes here after running in hunter chases and makes its handicap debut.Ive got it needing to find a few pounds and ive never heard of the jockey before.

Doctor Ric could provide the biggest threat,as its 2 from 5 in this grade and has won around here but its very inconsistent and is 0w-0p-8r when returning to the track within 28 days.

Back Egypt Mill Spirit 14pts at 3.25 at Paddys/WilliamHill(Accept 3.0)-Pulled UP(-14pts)Every time it got into the race,it clouted a fence and was eventually pulled up possibly lame.

425 Salisbury-This is quite a tight race and theres a chance that Fanzine could improve enough to take this if its suited by the step up in trip.The markets have factored this in however and Ivors Princess appeals as a bit of value.

This horse won last time on its first try at this trip and is still running off a 3Ib lower mark than its won off before.

Sean Levey is 5 from 17 for the Rod Millman stable,so his booking has to be a plus while this horse does its best work at this time of year(May/June 3w-2p-6r)

The trainer is 10wins from 45 with his runners at this track and the horse is 2w-1p-5r here also.

Shades of Grey ran well last time but is 0w-0p-3r at this track while Men Dont Cry appears to need the ground really fast which looks doubtful.

Back Ivors Princess 7pts at 7.0 at Bet365/Betvictor(Accept 6.0)-UP(-7pts)Never really looked like getting involved.Awful day!(DT-27pts)
