Goodwood 2.35 LOVE DREAMS is a relatively short price for me but I like to follow Johnson here and the horse looks better value than the likely favourite from the Varian yard. The likes of Zhui Feng (who owes me nor us anything over the years) and Makzeem look sure to need the run and will again be aimed at big Festival and Saturday handicaps ...

Chepstow 4.10 A Class 6 Handicap with 16 runners over 1 mile and 2 Furlongs on Good to Firm. A few with no form at all, although both Less of That (will need softer conditions than this) and Just Right (in Tracker see below) may be ones to follow. The one with best Course experience and who should now be fully fit is EDGE, it hides n...

Yarmouth 2.10 - A Class 6 mile race and I can't see past 3 horses near top of the market. MOLTEN LAVA on whom Rab Havlin has a very consistent record, KING OSWOLD who won over Course and Distance in 2017, has a lower mark today and one of the few who knows how to win races (on AW) and BOXATRICKS who was on the wrong side in a CD race here last...

 Brighton 4.45 - a very moderate Class 6 race over 7 furlongs and 3 horses who raced here recently re-oppose and could dominate. De Little Engine won that day beating Blessed to Empress, both are genuine if limited animals who will give their best but a couple of lengths behind them that day was PERFECT SYMPHONY who may still have needed the r...

Carlisle 2.45 - a Class 5 race over 6 furlongs on Good to Firm Going and no sign of any real rain. There is a view that a low draw is best here but if you look back a number of Course specialists regularly win from higher draws especially on extremes of Going. HIGHLY SPRUNG is very much one to beat on form and gets a berth in Stall 1...

A poor run yesterday by Boxatricks, dabbling in Class 6 is fraught with danger, it has paid off well in past few weeks, and dabbling in one race instead of four or five is the sensible approach, but no excuses, we move on. There is better quality racing at Goodwood this afternoon and Sandown this evening, but not too many serious betting heats...

The run of days with either a winner or a profit from placed horses that stood at 7 from my calculation ended with PERFECT SYMPHONY yesterday. It gave us a decent run and simply didn't pick up, may need a furlong further I've put in the Tracker. If anything today more mediocre in quality so we focus again on an enhanced place race, much better...

The NH meetings at Hexham and Huntingdon today have small fields, there is AW at Wolverhampton, just 1 race that is not a specific 3 year old race at Nottingham, little option at Brighton other than a couple of class 6 Hanicaps at end of meeting and Racing at Sligo. The one we are MOST confident in and enough to tip runs in 4.45 at Brighton wi...

We had a nice 9/1 for the Elite Service on Saturday with Mushtashry; to continue an excellent week or so and we will stick to a formula that seems to be working of focusing on one/two races per day, rather than a more scatter-gun approach. There will be days when we don't find profit, and there will be some who would rather have a lot more selectio...
