Always great to land an 8/1 shot, especially when it was much shorter in the morning. Winning against the market. Boom. Shame all the others FLOPPED!

I want to bet in all the Newbury races today, but I have an odd sense of discipline in me today, so will just await the outcomes.

Only bet of day:

Newbury 12.30 – Nothing has competed in decent races yet, except for Saphir Du Rheu 10/11

Total Staked £30.00, Total Returned £0.00

£30.00 Saphir Du Rheu 10/11 - LOSE £0.00

Hennessy this weekend! Cannot wait! Will def be heading there again this year. Going to lower stakes and go for a few at Newbury today. Will up stakes back again on Saturday.

Newbury 12.25 – Aaim To Prosper 13/8. Best flat horse and Nicholls excels in this race and with horses like this.

Newbury 12.55 – Elenika 9/2. The form ahead of Rajdhani Express looks the strongest on offer and gets a handy allowance.

Newbury 1.30 – African Gold 6/1. Looks a few lengths ahead of handicapper on handicap debut. The form working out in both last two races.

Newbury 2.05 – Again on form ahead of Poungach puts Houblon Des Obeaux 6/4 at the top of pile

Total Staked £100.00, Total Returned £120.00

£20.00 Aaim To Prosper 13/8 - LOSE £0.00

£10.00 e/w Elenika 9/2 - LOSE £0.00

3/6 yesterday. Somewhat obvious picks, but I’ll take it. Hendo has his army out. Few big accs will go in today. Nicholls is really bullish about all his horses at the moment, but does concede that if Long Run shows up nothing will beat him

Tom Pricewise Segal from the Racingpost has picked out:

Haydock 2.30 - Sivola De Sivola 13/2, Barafundle 10/1

Haydock 3.05 - Weird Al 6/1

Ascot 1.40 – A race not really to bet on as it revolves around the fitness of Bunglasha Lady. By far the best horse in the field, but with 1.5years off needs to be a solid training performance. At a long price there’s one other horse with decent credibility in this field. A Little Swifter 25/1. Likes soft ground and looking at last two listed handicap races, this form is solid, especially the Kells Belle line.

Ascot 2.10 – There’s certain horses I just can’t and won’t take on. Finian’s Rainbow 11/10 is one of them

Ascot 2.45 – Oscar Whisky 4/5 – was gutted when fell in this race last year. Hopefully can make amends.

Haydock 12.20 – Balder Success 4/7 is not worth backing at the odds, but looks ahead of this field. McCain reckons Hollow Tree wants further. BS has solid Ascot form too.

Haydock 12.55 – Couple I like in this. Lamb or Cod’s 11/2 form is solid after the other two Hobbs horses in the Silver Trophy went on to post decent efforts. Bar De Ligne’s 14/1 effort behind Trustan Times is solid and TT is also running later today!

Haydock 2.30 – Segal has already tipped two, which is annoying because as above I like Trustan Times 20/1. Handicapper has been a tad harsh, but if you watch the way he powered home last time out you’ll see why 20/1 is big. For me the obvious danger is Katkeau 13/2 who hacked up in similar level races in France. Pipe has won this a couple time before, so watch out!

Haydock 3.05 – I’m not opposing Long Run 13/8. Emotive punting, yes, but he’s still better than these lot on paper. Big Henderson Treble please

Haydock 3.40 – Master Overseer 5/1. Pipe reckons this is tailor-made for him

Car crash yesterday but no major injuries. Al Ferof. How did we all miss him. A few bets today, mostly short price so will chuck a few accumulators in. Segal has gone for Glam Gerry in the big one today. No Sprintre or Darlan. Booo...

Fontwell 12.25 – Oscargo 4/7. By far the best hurdler and Benheir not really taken off in Chase world. One for an Acc.

Fontwell 12.55 – Royale Knight 8/15. Miles ahead of the rest, but probably one for an Acc.

Cheltenham 1.45 – Clock House 9/2 purely on hype

Cheltenham 2.50 – Gutted about Darlan, but was the right call. No idea now. Maybe Star of Aragon 50/1? Ha. No idea, good luck.

Cheltenham 3.25 – Village Vic 9/4. Followed this one over a couple of NHF races, like it.

Punchestown 1.05 – Oscars Well 8/11

Punchestown 1.40 – Back in Focus 4/6

Punchestown 2.15 – Hurricane Fly 2/5

I think I'm slowly hitting things off again with the track. It's been a torrid month. Dynaste and Dodging Bullets came good yesterday and although I didn't pick Uncle Junior or B King yesterday I thought they'd be in the top three. Really should have listened to everyone and avoided Kid Cassidy, but at the same time you have to go with your own instinct.

Tom Pricewise Segal has picked out a few today:

Cheltenham 1.55 - Harry The Viking 7/1
Lingfield 2.50 - Hezmah 7/1
Cheltenham 3.05 - Lovcen 13/2, Abnaki
Cheltenham 2.35 - Micheal Flips 25/1 (Antepost)

My thoughts before 10am....

8.30am update. Only want to play with Cheltenham today...

Cheltenham 12.45  – Far West 7/4. Nicholls dominates this race and the form of Far West has been franked. Difficult to judge how good Vasco Du Ronceray actually is

Cheltenham 1.20 – I was very impressed with Sire Collonges 7/4 last time out. Don’t think Sea of Thunder will reverse despite the 3lb difference and McCoy. Will be close. The Pipe horse is well regarded mind and arguably the best hurdler? Sticking with Nicholls on this one.

Cheltenham 1.55 – The Galaxy Rock form line is solid now, but this is competitive. On paper Segal’s choice can’t beat TeaforThree. Mon Mome 40/1 always gets be interested but tough ask. Ashkazar on paper looks solid with that form against Bradley, but I’m sticking with Galaxy Rock 7/1. I was livid when he hit 2^nd last in previous race as he didn’t come off the bridle for a long time and was going very well. He won this last year very easily as well

Cheltenham 2.35 – I’ve backed Micheal Flips AP (as advised by Segal). I’ve back Walkon 11/1 Antepost too. Hunt Ball’s trainer’s comments brings a new meaning to being bullish. I’ve never seen comments like it and if you look at what he achieved against Burton Port 15/2 might be a steal. However, Grands Crus 5/2 is the one I want to be on today. Love him and yes was a let down last year but is well handicapped. I might take Hunt Ball w/o Grands Crus 9/2

Cheltenham 3.05 – Lovcen. Segal’s choice, but is mine too. Last year’s performances in Albert Barlett and John Smiths is better than anything here and can win this at top weight. Hopefully class will prevail!
