Newmarket 

1.50 - Del Maro is the best horse on form here, but 5 runner race and Hannon is 3/4 winners in this race, so you can't wrtie off Alderman, who they've not given up on. No bet.

2.25 - Adday Scarlett is clear on proven numbers, but 3 runner race with another Appelby hotpot. No bet

3.00 - Knocked this down to a longlist of 5, which is unhelpful. Thunder Call is the likely winner, and not totally convinced Red Spells Danger can reverse the form, but it's possible. However I have to believe, as I always do, until proven otherwise the RA handicaps are the strongest formlines. Calico Blue finished the best of those draw wrong side in the Holyroodhouse, runs prominetly and winner over 6f already.

Calico Blue 7/1ew

3.35 - Another 4 runner race. No bet

4.10 - No thoughts

4.45 - Oxagon, blinkers on, head down, make all and see if can win. It's second best on numbers behind Morris Dancer so value at the prices. 

Oxagon 9/1ew

5.20 - Shipbourne looks well handicapped and be hard to beat. Backed The Joker couple races back as the form with Glacius and Del Maro cannot be ignored. I think has started to put it together, and can land the forecast with Shipbourne

Shipbourne 3/1

The Joker 10/1ew

Shipbourne / The Joker Rfc 25/1 and 30/1

Bets 05/07/2026

One and Gone a game winner. Underdog very unlucky from my perspective and one for nto. Glacius ran well into 3rd, but not good enough to win that race.

1.50 - Sandown - Asfoora is best on numbers but had a good draw lto and wasn't convincing? Rumstar 3/1 looked like he was going to take off in this race last year and if in similar form be hard to beat. Words of Truth will make it a good race.

2.25 Sandown - Hard Endeavor 14/1ew is better value than Beagle Bay. I backed River King at 12/1 as ran well from draw at RA, but pricewise has killed the price and value is gone at 6s. 

3.00 Sandown - Secret of Life 5/1ew. Entered in the Falmouth and other group races. Big horse. No way Beckett runs in this if doesn't think a decent chance stepping up from a c4.

3.35 Sandown - A Boy Named Suzy 9/1ew is the value bet. 400m out lto was so far behind Constitution River, stuck behind many horses. Finished much closer. Reckon will drift given the focus on the other big names. The risk might be the fast ground.

4.47 Sandown - Sassicaia 13/2ew too keen lto, but hugely unexposed.

5.22 Sandown - Flying Frontier 6/1ew

Sandown Eclipse Festival - Day 1

1.50 Sandown - Don't want to be getting caught up in a 5 runner race, but Comical Point sets the standard. Probably the best play for a win, but you know me, I'd rather let One and Gone 15/2ew try to make all Contact Point to nab it late. The rfc 14/1 and 20/1 on b365

2.25 Sandown - Underdog 9/1ew. C&D run was good. Assuming Ascot came too soon and all the pace was drawn low in that race so can draw a line through.

3.35 Sandown - Sallaal should win, but willing to give an improving 3year old with 10lb allowance a chance. Glacius 10/1ew. 

Bets 27/06/2026

1.40 Newcastle - Has usually got to a 4 year old and Rajeko for sure is very interesting. Room Service has a G2 entry but both are at end of betting and only info could tell you about chances. I'm willing to take on the 4year old and look Stupido here and back the two who are best on handicap numbers for me.

Korker 25/1ew

Witch Hunter 28/1ew

2.10 Newcastle - Diligent Harry pipped Annaf on the line last year breaking a 6,000/1 treble. Still hurts. Best on numbers today and will try to make all again.

Diligent Harry 9/2 (Note that personally put a lay in running at 1.2 in case gets nabbed on line)

2.40 Newcastle - Haveyoumissedme's mark has dropped to 8lb lower than when ran in this couple years back. In much better form now and can maybe take advantage of this mark. Believeitandyoucan might be hard to beat.

Haveyoumissedme 18/1ew (6p)

3.15 Newcastle - Spirit Mixer a lovely 25 winner last year but this year found it tougher.

Team Player 11/1ew

Prydwen 16/1ew

Blazeon Five 25/1ew (0.5pt ew only)

3.45 Newcastle - Annaf is best on numbers but this is super tricky. Hope Cool Hoof Luke sets a decent pace for the race. I can pick 6 horses who have a solid case for this race, but they've got Annaf's mark down now to be competitive in handicaps and obviously ran super well at this festival last year. Rappers Delight bust a 6,000/1 5 fold at Meydan, and I know is well handicapped, so better not be the day pops up! Fahrenheit Seven is highly progressive on AW. Decent ew price

Annaf 14/1ew

Fahrenheit Seven 20/1ew

York 1.20 Washington Royal 8/1ew

York 2.25 - Fortification 7/2

York 4.15 - Millions Gold 14/1ew

Bets 25/06/2026

12.15 Newmaket - What A Girl Wants 5/1ew

2.02 Newcastle - Popty Ping 15/2ew

3.12 Newcastle - Cloth of Gold 15/2ew

3.42 Newcastle - Dosman 11/2ew

Bets 20/06/2026 - Royal Ascot Day 5

Rossa Ryan on Coppull clearly saw the major speed was up the centre before deciding to go stands side and win that race. Ignored Libertango as was drawn 3 and ignored Organised as has 'poor draw'. Overthinking the draw. Really need to find where the pace is likely to be.

9/2, 11/2 and 16/1 placed with the place acca 4 out of 5, so another -6 day, Down to 39.

2.30 - Early foal from Golden Pal. Just hope they've not watered the low numbers today ;)

Ez Tina 9/1ew

3.05 - Best Secret is in good form, improving, strong course form

Best Secret 8/1ew

3.40 - Satano Reve is the fatest in the field, but Regional comes out on top of my numbers

Santano Reve 7/2

Regional 40/1ew

4.20 - Catullus is best on numbers and not overly worried about the Appelby RA form

Catullus 8/1ew

5.00 - Ten Pounds should go close and Two Tribes if back to form is best on numbers, but trends are also quite strong for Sondad and Far Above Dream

Ten Pounds 10/1ew

Sondad 22/1 ew

Far Above Dream 16/1ew

5.35 - Evanesco should be a similar price to Lost Boys and Sahara King on formlines

Evanesco 10/1ew

6.10 - A Piece of Heaven 6/1ew

Might put up a placed acca tomorrow. If everything fails to place will end up with 19 points for the festival. Hopefully end week with couple winners and couple places.

Bets 19/06/2026 - Royal Ascot Day 4

Those GoingStick readings did not reflect reality. Annoying. Thought Mountain Cat looked a tad unlucky not to place, if not maybe more, but in the end only 3 places yesterday (28/1, 10/1, 11/1) so ended up -6, which brings Ascot to +45 after Day 3.

2.30 Albany - Winning last time out is important.  Will assume high stalls matter, and if Light of Dawn had not run only 10 days ago I'd likely pick this. Next on the draw with a win is Bated Benevolence.

Bated Benevolence 33/1ew

3.05 Commonwealth - Strong course form and worth playing at the prices

Coppull 12/1ew

3.40 DOE - Hopewell Rock brings the best form to the table, but Warrant Hold looks highly progressive and main danger

Hopewell Rock 9/2ew

4.20 Coronation - Precise should win but one for an acca

5.00 Sandringham - Quiet Mutiny as per earlier, formline with Precise. Glyfada looks quick

Quiet Mutiny 14/1ew

Glyfada 11/2ew

5.35 - No bet

6.10 Sandringham - Tricky. Want Bacio to ping an make all and Starmade to get the perfect tow 

Starmade 16/1ew
