Bets 15/04/2026

1.50 - A few good improving 4 year olds in here, which is generally the profile winner of this race and hence why they dominate the market. I always like a C&D winner here and one that is in good form and looked unlucky a few times at this grade is Coul Angel. Havlin knows the horse well. Rousing Encore stays permanently in my tracker and whilst is tempting not sure this is the race.

Coul Angel 10/1 1pt ew 4p

3.00 - Boiling Point is going to try to make all and Persica can race prominently and win b2b renewals

Perisca 5/1 1pt ew 

5.17 - High Storm is ahead of mark, fit and in good form.

High Storm 4/1 2pt

Bets 03/04/2026

Lingfield 2.40 - Best on numbers over C&D here is Intervention. He loves it here and he's got a very good 7lb claimer here. I've seen this horse finish last many times and bounce back. 

Intervention 20/1 1pt ew 4p


Newcastle 3.00 - I think /hope not much pace which will allow Witch Hunter to come from last to first with a rapid turn of foot. First Principle is super interesting on stats.

Witch Hunter 20/1 1pt ew 4p


Lingfield 3.15 - If Great Bedwyn is in the same form as last time is going to go very close here.

Great Bedywn 12/1 1pt ew 4p


Newcastle 3.35 - Wiltshire can win off this mark over C&D

Whilstshire 7/1 1pt ew 4p


Newcastle 4.10 - If Teumessias Fox breaks well enough can win this.

Teumessias Fox 1pt 10/1ew 4p


Newcastle 4.42 - Duke Of Oxford can keep progressing

Duke of Oxford  1pt 9/2 ew 4p

Bets 28/03/2026 - Part 2

Given the rain and no official update on the track playing half stakes. Means I'll hit my target of +30pts even if nothing returns today. I hope it does of course though!


Meydan 12.20 - The draw has worked turned out perfectly for Commissioner King here. Can make all to win. My concern is this is a race Seemar has not won and has 6 horses running in it and so am willing to take a risk on Banishing, who will love the pace that 4 or 5 of these will set. Has gone very close to winning a G1 when dead heating with Nysos. Expecting this one to come flying home late. Backing this now as if the track as slowed won't impact this one at all.

Banishing 10/1 10.5pt ew

Meydan 12.55 - Al Riffa the one to beat, clearly on numbers. I was going to take a chance on Dubai Future, but with the ground ease that doesn't make as much sense. The give also makes it harder for Al Nayyir. Sunway is good but not sure good enough. Caballo De Mar is a G1 winner and will assume the Prix Royal Oak came too soon. This one looks to have a live chance if Al Riffa doesn't show and no issues with change in ground.

Caballo De Mar 13/2 0.5pt ew


Meydan 1.30 - Pyromancer is probably a worthy fave, but Six Speed is best on numbers. I really like Salloom and backed this one Antepost. Tad takes the ride which is probably a big clue, but at the prices Wonder Dean looks the value, given how close finished to Pyro, who had a run under belt, on debut. 

Wonder Dean 12/1 0.5pt ew


Meydan 2.20 - Lazzat is clear on numbers but I can't back at Evs. The ground will not be an issue for him. When is rains here high numbers can do better, so I'm taking a big risk here and hoping SDS does the right thing here and try to bag the stands side rail and win with Great Wish.

Great Wish 25/1 0.5pt ew


Meydan 2.55 - Tuz has been lightly campaigned on purpose and is surely going to be fired up for this and Tad has not let go of the ride, but Mufasa should have beaten El Nasseeb lto and Nakatomi could be a dual C&D winner. There is going to be so much pace that this surely has to go to a closer.

Nakatomi 18/1 0.5pt ew

Musafa 14/1 0.5pt ew


Meydan 3.35 - Ombudsman is so far clear on ratings not worth taking on, but Facteur Cheval should be an ew money back play, and if for whatever reason Ommy messes up is the one most liklely to take advantage as is the best on numbers on this ground, course and distance.

Factuer Cheval 7/1 0.5pt ew


Really struggle to beat Calandagan and Forever Young so no play in last two races.

Will play a small Tad/Seemar Yankke with Commissioner King, Salloom, Tuz, Imperial Emperor.

Bets 28/03/2026 - Part 1

 Doncaster 1.20 - A Bear Affair is the one I'd pick given Hannon is 2/2, but I know nothing about the field so no points up on this.

Doncaster 1.50 - Montassib is best on numbers. Follwed by My Mate Alfie, Jasour who is taking a hug step down in class and then Spycatcher. They are all short enough and no need to pick one. I would have backed Jasour if could get a bigger price but often misses break.


Doncaster 2.25 - Principality improved enough last season to be capable of winning a C2 race. Won race lto on the wrong side so better result than on paper. Eustace and Fraser have decent stats here

Principality 10/1 1pt ew 6 places

Doncaster 3.32 - I always look to get faves beat in this big handicaps but I'm really struggling to push out Eternal Force. Hugely progressive. Haggas has some very strong stats for a race and a horse like this and has won this race many times before with a horse of this profile, the draw if fine, meets all the trends and the form from Newbury is decent enough. I can't find another one in the race as strong. Tribal Chief was interesting but seems to like smaller fields and not sure drawn there is any good. La Botte I have marked for Ascot and last 8 winners have not had a prep run like this. Rogue Diplomat loves it here but wouldn't chance will stay the extra furlong. Greek Order was also tempting but didn't compare to Eternal Force.

Eternal Force 4/1 1pt ew 5 places 1/4 odds with Will Hill.

0.25pt ew double

Bets 13/03/2026

Not the greatest of cards today so lowered stakes and hedged in a few races.


2.50 - Could easily be a 1-2 for for Dylan today, but there are some horses lurking that if bounce back to form will be a big price shock. Tricky to work out how this race will unfold. I think Rebatt will go to the front and Breakdancer will try to come and join from stall 10. They both have a capability of this mark to win, so would hope they can draw clear together. San Sebastian is a horse have backed twice this festival and I hope gets trapped behind held up horses today else could easily come home quickly to give these two a fright.

Breakdancer 5/1 0.5pt ew 5p

Rebaatt 9/1 0.5pt ew 5p


3.25 - I have both Estmrar and War Hawk tracked. Moonblade will try to make all, and War Hawk who likes to be held up I assume will tag to the rail, and chances will depend on the passage through. Estmaras is drawn wide, but I've seen many horses win from wide draws on the dirt this year and this time can't get trapped on the rail. At the price I think I'd rather play Estmras

Estrmrar 9/1 0.5pt ew 4p


4.00 - Majestic Pride back to turf just screams back me. Not sure why has been running on dirt given last turf race was the Meydan in a G2, 1.5l behind Mysterious Night. These Wathan horses annoy me :) and Arhichvist is probably a worth fave. Regheeb can make up the 123

Majestic Pride 10/1 0.5pt ew 4p

Regheeb 6/1 0.5pts ew 4p


4.35 -  Another tricky one, but I expect Stobe to win, worst case place.

Strobe 9/2 0.5pt ew 3p


5.10 - I've back Green Triangle a twice this year. Was never going to back ahead of Dividend lto, but this extended trip gives the chance to finally reach leaders and win! I think / hope will stay. Asgard is a huge danger if returns to form. Yard are bullish

Green Triangle 7/1 0.5pt ew 4p

Asgards Captain 11/2 0.5pt ew 4p


5.45 - I could back half the field in this, so staying out. Backed Shaq Diesel lto, thinking was well ahead of mark. Not putting it up but at 20s might have a few coins on

No bet

Okay day, but totally lost interest in jumps. So many things can go wrong and why I prefer the flat, especially at Meydan where there are a lot more constant variables. Anyway, punt some small stakes for fun. Playing for ew places today mainly on exchanges.

1.20 - Future Prospect 35s on exchanges. Good trends. Races prominently and got good speed for the end.

2.00 - Kdeux Saint Fairy 25s on exchanges. Better value than Jordans Cross on formlines.

2.40 - Jade De Grugy 9/4

3.20 - Hewick 70's on exhanges could easily refind form post windop and on better ground give the market leaders something to think about. 

4.00 - Impaire Et Passe 5/1ew

4.40 - Gowel Road 70s on exchanges, and Red Dirt Road 35s on exchanges

5.20 - Backed Jericko AP at 12s. One of the very few AP bets I had. Can't be bovered to go through card :)
