Maybe shouldn't leave the jumps behind! Can't believe didn't reverse forecast Kilcruit and Jody Ted. F/c on 365 was 160/1 at the time. Anyhow Juryman drifted to 9/1 and won and Impervious was rock solid.

Saturday's are bad punting days due to kids so only had a VERY quick look

Punches 2.35 - Can't believe Three By Two and Stealthy Tom are back out again at the festival. Hurricane Darwin 9/2 is my pick

Punches 3.10 - Mercurey Lane 7/1ew

Punches 3.50 - Echoes In the Rain 7/2

Punches 4.25 - Ramillies 7/2

Punches 5.00 - Lossiemouth 8/11

Punches 5.30 - Seddon 4/1, Heai 7/1

Haydock 3.45 - Spycatcher 5/1

Haydock 4.20 - Conversationist 5/1

Leicester 3.05 - Al Mubhir Evs

Leicester 3.40 - Maxeno 11/1ew

Sandown 2.15 - Kittys Light 7/2, Coolvalla 9/1

Bets 28.04.2023

Broomfield and Indie Belle won, returning about £1.5k on singles and the double. Ifwerichman 7s, Douglas Talking, Blast Of Koe 25s, Sir Argus 18s all placed. And as I wrote Klasical and esp Ballyburn won so ended up a very good day due the accas placed.

Sandown is abandoned which is super annoying as has some decent bets on. Punchestown looks like a day to avoid really.

3.40 Punchestown - Artic Weather 5/1ew

4.15 Punchestown - Kilcruit 3/1, JoeyTed 40/1ew

4.50 Punchestown - Impervious 5/6

Right leaving the jumps behind now......

1.40 Doncaster - One Last Hug 20/1ew. Stupid race to be betting in but with the right ride can go close. Amie rides Donny very well and will know not to get too far behind (I hope)

4.00 Doncaster - Westeron 5/2. Chucked in if stays

5.35 Doncaster - Juryman 4/1

Bets 27.04.2023

 Lame yesterday. Too much hope of IFs.

3.40 - Punchestown - Don't think Figaroc is well handicapped. Broomfield Bijou 10/1 is chucked in on last race and Ifwearichman 7/1 is too based on the Sa Fureur form. That line did let me down yesterday but Buddy One holds up the formline so can't not back it

4.15 Punchestown - Douglas Talking 10/3 was my punt last night. Been backed in like can't lose! If Coer Sublime find some form can go close but I think DT is streaks ahead of mark. Derek is back.

4.50 Punchestown - Blast of Koeman 25/1ew. Another big IF. Not learning my lesson ;)

5.25 Punchestown - Monkfish 11/2 is back. Klassical Dream likely the main danger

6.00 Punchestown - Hmm. Rounded down to 6. Seabank the cliff horse, but convinced is well handicapped. Parmenion, Lets Go Champ, Sir Argus and Haxo all appealed to me. Think I need to ditch the emotional cliff horse.

Parmenion 10/1, Sir Argus 18/1

Will hit a Mullins tricast with Parmy, Argy and Seabank for banter

7.10 Punchestown - Indie Belle 10/1ew

7.45 Punchestown - Last night I blindly jumped on Apples of Bresil 4/1 as was backed in from 25/1 Ballyburn is surely the winner? Can't cash out my bet so stickin with it. Don't bet drunk...

Bets 26.04.2023

Punchestown 3.40 - La Malmason 11/2ew is surely chucked in. Sa Furuer beat this by not much with a 7lb claimer and next time won a G3. It's a 137 horse and La Malmason running off 122.....

There are so many that look plotted here but be disappointed if didn't get money back off 6 places with La Malmason given looks to have over a stone in hand.

Punchestown 4.15 - Rocco Bay 40/1ew

Punchestown 4.45 - Port Stanley 10/1ew

Punchestown - 5.20 - Gaelic Warrior Evs

Punchestown - 5.55 - Galopin Des Champs 3/10

Punchestown 6.30 - Rath Gaul Boy 12/1ew was beaten pretty easily by A Dream to Share last year but was giving away 18 pounds. Not sure why has been absent for so long but surely has a chance to turn it around off level weights?

Punchestown 7.05 - Egality Mans 14/1ew 4th in this last year after some sketchy jumping but stayed on passed a few. Down 5lbs since. Last 3 races looked poor but all when had cheekpieces on. They are off now, is the handbrake too?

Punchestown 7.45 - Miss Augusta 13/2ew. the form over C&D behind Notions

Bets 22.04.2023

Another decent handicap winner 16/1 yesterday on top of a 33/1 handicap winner the day before. I missed flat handicaps. 

1.30 Newbury - I was really keen on Mojo Star. Then started over analysing. Stott not won at Newbury Hannon it the crossbar 3 times in the race. Hurricane Lane G1 winner with ground in favour. Multiple C&D on soft winners. Really should leave the race alone but had a pop on Lone Eagle 14/1ew. Dettori rode this for Meade and nearly beat Hurricane Lane in the Irish Derby. Assuming Hurricane Lane will be building back towards the Arc, maybe a chance not fully wound up. Hoping LE can bounce back. Sure MS will now win :)

1.50 Ayr - City Chief 15/8. Course winner. In good form. Hendo in good form

2.05 Newbury - When looked this morning had my eye on Remarquee 7/2 largely based on debut. Been well backed so stick with it

2.25 Ayr - Salasda 10/1ew potentially chucked in

2.40 Newbury - Chaldean 4/6 is so far ahead on ratings

3.15 Newbury - I hate backing short price faves in big handicaps, but Lattam will surely be really hard to beat? I nearly backed it in the Irish Lincoln and the way it won suggests has enough in hand to win again. I'll surely put it into an acca. Can make a case for many of these. Will plump for Atrium 10/1ew. Has needed first run back both seasons. C&D winner. Won with enough in hand at the leger meeting. Drawn next to Lattam and also a hold up runner so will be interesting.

3.35 Ayr - Mighty Thunder 22/1ew

4.55 Newbury - Warning Sign 9/1ew. Won the race last time on the wrong side. Moore been going well with jumps and has had some big winners at Newbury over the years. He operating at +£106!

Bets 21.04.2023

 ACrap my blog didn’t load up yesterday….

For today 4 picks

Bets 17.04.2023

3.00 Redcar - Belhaven 7/2. As long as is fit for beginning of the season ticks all the boxes.

4.10 Redcar - Barossa 28/1ew (4places with Unibet & Unibetboost). 3.5 lenghts behind Desert Hero rated 94. If this horse stays potentially a stone in hand.

3.45 Windsor - Coco Beach 5/1ew. Likes heavy, likes Windsor, goes well fresh, can win off this mark

5.55 Windsor - Lawn Ranger 11/2ew. Looking at last C&D effort on soft. Down in class. Down 7lb. Havlin booked.

Bets 15.04.2023

No time for write ups an obviously backed too many. Backed them all yesterday. Its a minefield. Punters graveyard

Aintree 13.45 - Jonbon 4/11

Aintree 14.25 - Good Time Jonny 5/1, Mexico 12/1, Au Fleron 20/1

Aintree 15.00 - Irish Point 7/1, Katieria 16/1

Aintree 15.35 - Sir Du Berlais 11/2

Aintree 16.15 - Shake em up Harry 8/1, Cocunut Splash 12/1, Kapga De Lily 18/1

Aintree 17.15 - Gailiard DM 12/1, Enjoy D'allen 50/1.

Aintree 18.20 - Go To War 20/1, Pour Les Files 6/1

Bets 14.04.2023

I potentially am not learning my lesson by backing a couple of these whose trainers and jockeys haves poor records at Aintree and/or in poor form. Namely Martello Sky, A Different Kind and French Dynamite, but sod it.

1.45 Aintree  - Complete Unknown 13/2ew

Solid pedigree stats for this and looks like the one who is still improving the most.

2.20 Aintree - Martello Sky 25/1ew

Minefield. Crept down the ratings and now back in a handicap. Potentially significant jokey booking.

Nells Son and Tritonic were next on list.

2.55 Aintree - No Looking Back 10/1, Inthepocket 9/2

Inthepocket looks a decent shot here but surely 2m4f is better? Apaz they don't think so and the Marine Nationale form is rock, but I noticed No Looking Back gave Irish Point 9lb when only just touched off so can't be far off a 150 horse. Trainer had two big long shot winners few days back. Split stakes across the two otn.

Altobelli and foundafifty were next on list.

3.30 Aintree  - French Dynamite 8/1ew

I don't think Fakir is as good as last year. Nicholls is running two in this. I think Hitman may have hit a ceiling and Pic D'O tbh maybe does have a chance, but I'm drawn to French Dynamite who is still improving. Ran a cracker in the Ryanair and ground will be okay today.

4.05 Aintree - Haut en Colours 12/1ew

After the bet I had on this to beat Fakir when fell I'm following it blinding now. I still think is well handicapped but probably tough of top weight. So many others could back but sticking with one. Geskille looks decent too.

4.40 Aintree - Absolute Notions 4/1

Had a decent antepost bet for Chelts on this and gutted swerved the bet. It's a big field full of unexposed types but will stick with this. Maximilian is a tracker horse given beat Stay Far Away, but McCain stable not going well enough for me to consider

5.15 Aintree - A Different Kind 40/1ew, Parramount 8/1, Washington 12/1 

After saying can't back a McCain horse given current stable form looks like I backed it last night. It' been slammed in the betting so assumed was tipped up somewhere

Having looked again this morning Parramount is chucked in and Washington have decent chances too

Bets 13.04.2023

Not a day to get carried away with.

1.45 Aintree - Saint Roi 7/2.

Nicholls has tried with 9 horses to win this and not succeeded and JOB is still not in great form. Even though I think Banbridge is the likely winner with JOB form and Slevin hasn't ridden a winner at Aintree it's enough from me to hit Saint Roi. I think ran a great race in the Arkle.

2.20 Aintree - Scriptwriter 15/2. Money back 2nd,3rd,4th

I think Zenta wins, but the value is Scriptwriter. The formline puts most of these to bed except Zenta who gets a big allowance and so is miles clear on ratings.

Banbridge/Zenta 9/2 double

2.55 - Aintree - Shishkin 2/1

Four of these could win. Will be great to watch

4.05 Aintree - Dento Des Obeaux 20/1ew

Ran the highest RPR last timeout and unbeaten last 3. Will try make all. Benny King is interesting but will stick with one

4.40 Aintree - Douglas Talking 9/1 Antepost.

I have a concern about the inexperienced jockey on Douglas but the horse is surely the best handicapped even if up 17lb inc loss of clamier. Will try to make all.

Hatcher 12/1.

Skelton and handicaps. Can't ignore this. Chucked in on best form. Second run back after wind op. May win here and if not will try again at Ayr no doubt.

5.15 Aintree - Baby Sage 12/1ew

King has won this twice. Pedigree okay. Ran to a 110 and looked really raw. Can improve and go close.

Might hit a Nicholls acca with Magic Saint, Seeyouindreams, Stagestar

Bets 10/04/2023

Fairyhouse 2.05 - Scenic Look 10/1, Gordons Aura 18/1

Fairyhouse 3.15 - Unanswered 8/1

Fairyhouse 5.00 - Real Steel 40/1, Champagne Platinum 40/1
