Chepstow 8.05 - 2 miles - Class 5 - 13 run There are a few "in form types" here, some with penalties and others up in trip and most won't want too much rain. You then have the Course and Distance or Course / Distance regulars, who rarely win but who can "pop up" in turn when all falls in to place and a few are very consistent within the l...

Leopardstown 4.00 - 1 mile 2 furlongs - Going Good. The trip and draw are important here and it's a case of visualising the way the race may pan out. I narrowed it down to 4 in the end and of those I think that Hamley is just a little too regressive for my liking, it has to be a big danger off this mark but I just want to see a bot more a...

GOWRAN PARK 4.30  (I did consider my own personal "cliff horse" Ice Cold in Alex in the tricky opener at 1.00 but at the price will leave it alone, one to back at 20/1 for some e/w money not one to trust at 4/1 with some win money). In the 4.30 I'm intrigued by HIGHWAY TO HEAVEN. It won off a mark of 48 at the corresponding Meeting o...

Perth 6.10 Handicap Hurdle - Class 4 - 2 Miles 4 Furlongs - 14 run - Good to Soft  There aren't many I could confidently rule out here, even down at the bottom of the market but a couple at nice each way prices caught my eye. MELODY OF SCOTLAND won second run in 2019 and had a nice pipe-opener recently over an inadequate trip. B...

Curragh 4.50 Handicap 5 furlongs - 18 run with reserves. I narrowed this down to 7 horses and completely ignoring the market I can't resist a Tracker bet on a couple drawn high. It can be an advantage to be high here on occasions, its not conclusive but often enough happens for me to look closely at a pair in the high end of the draw at big od...

A frustrating day for Sean who I know is kicking himself a little, after picking 2 horses falling down the handicap to win in recent days (Ardhooney and Highway to Heaven) he decided to leave the obvious follow on horse out yesterday at the final pick, and saw Hamley (analysed in the write up) win at 8/1. All was not lost with Bookies mostly paying...

Another nice winner for Sean yesterday with Highway to Heaven, advised and widely available at 20/1 early winning at 12/1. That's 3 winning tip races in a row at dould figure advised Odds and SP's of 11/1 ; 15/2 and 12/1. The usual moans when we do a "Tracker" as opposed to a "Tip" of why only 1/2 point e/w instead of 1 point each way. The ana...

The incredibly hot and humid weather continues in parts and no doubt many of you will have been kept awake all night by a combination of the heat and humidity and some ferocious electrical storms and in parts torrential rain. It looks as if things WILL calm down over the next 24 hours with some fresher weather and return to normal temperatures...

There are some decent races at Haydock today but concerns about the accuracy of weather forecasts and Going at a track that usually makes a right horlicks of Going reports anyway. The Going has been changed from Good to Firm to Good and hard to know what it is exactly. We did look long and hard at the long distance Handicap at 5.30 and would advise...

NO TIPS / TRACKERS today A nice win again for Sean over in Ireland yesterday with Bahlwan who was advised when widely available at 12-14/1 winning at 15/2 and the Tracker Glow Worm, advised when 25/1 coming home as runner up at 18/1 after the market re-formed late after a non runner. That ensured a positive weekend with a couple of n...
