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

Bets 12/03/2026

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 :)

Bets 11/03/2026

 Given into peer pressure to blog. Health warning. Not followed the jumps this season and only a brief look

1.20 - No Drama The End 5/2.

2.00 - Final Demond 5/1 ew

2.40 - Jingko Blue 6/1ew. 

3.20 - Favori De Champdou 2/1

4.00 - Leau Du Sud 11/2ew

4.40 - Be Aware 4/1 Ballysax Hank 11/1

Bets 06/03/2026

 2.05 - Muzaahim was very impressive lto. Likes to miss the break, up in class, 7lb higher and 1 furlong further 11/4. Hmm. Nyaar also very good lto out up 8lb! Laasudood ran really well couple races back, when backed him, and I think the drop in trip could be the right move today.

Laasudood 7/1 1ptew 5p

2.50 - Brave to try take on Masai Moon. Not any certain could do it on current form but on previous best Involvement could win this. Won the b365 heritage beating Royal Power who a decent marker in Meydan. Sure had time off, but I don't think Sultan Ali and Crisford would persevere with this if didn't think still retained ability

Involvement 14/1 1pt ew 4p

3.25 - Any one of Spencer's could win this and Twinlight Calls is the best value of them at 14s. It's a tough one. Last week looked like low draw was the place to be but there seems to be a lack of pace here today, and whilst I hate fave backing I think there's a lot more to come from Postmodern and this one could just ping it and play come catch me.

Postmodern 11/4 2pt win

4.00 - Backed Claymore twice here. Is so well handicapped. Question is whether takes to dirt. If does can front run this

Claymore 18/1 0.5pt ew

4.35 - Could see Wathan Racing post a double with Postmodern here, but think English Oak needs to improve a fair bit still. Not impossible but can;t bank on improvement. Chicago Critic 9s has a 3lb pull with Elnjmm so is surely better value today. Backed Witness Stand 11s lto, not sure what happened but is defo well handicapped. Dubai Treasure 4s also a huge danger. Can't pick between the three

No bet.

5.45 - Open Mind back close to best watching last run and toward the top on most numbers.

Open Mind 5/1 1pt ew

Bets 20/02/2026

Backed too many faves today for my liking. I don't think it's the greatest of fields from a value perspective.

1.30 - Sucette 3/1 1pt

2.05 - A difficult one and a risky choice in Twilight Calls. Probably regressed, but off this mark is too tempting for me.

Twilight Calls 16/1 0.5ptew (4p)

2.50 - Labwah 7/4 1pt

3.25 - Wow. Dividend, Laneqash, Sean, Green Triangle, War Socks and Claymore all horses made some money on at Meydan are head to head here. To top it off Masai Moon is here. Can make a case for them all, but at the prices and with a draw that potentially allows for a make all mash up have to go with the value Claymore. Definitely wants further but with the extra stamina Tuddy can just go for it. Even Al Ali at 40s can't be written off. It's likely the pace Claymore creates better chances for Dividend and Green Traingle but at their prices of 7/2 and 4/1 playing the 14/1.

Claymore 14/1 0.5ptew (4p)

4.00 - Shaq Diesel 2/1 1pt

4.35 - Blue Nazare is probably going to be decent. Has to improve a stone to beat some of these and whilst might not backing at close to evens.

No bet

5.10 - Salloom 6/4 1pt the one to beat.

5.45 - No bet

Bets 13/02/2026

1.30 - Raddad Al Wathba 8/1 0.5pt ew

2.05 - If cheekpieces make the difference, and is a big if given current form, this one is the best on numbers.

Inner Wisdom 10/1 0.5pt ew 

2.40 - Not convinced War Hawk wants ground this fast. Daamiss maybe unlucky not to win lto, but not convinced of that race formline now, which rules out Silver Sword too. If Native Spirit runs I may back it as looks well handicapped on paper. City of Delight is back on turf on quick ground over 10f which is defo best conditions. Didnt take to dirt and actually ran okay lto. The winner was a group horse in a handicap who'll be in pattern racing nto.

City of Delight 9/1 1pt ew

3.15 - Tricky one. Nothing stood out. Backed Laasudood last two races for decent ew returns but too short today. Ever chance Gun Carriage can make all to win, but can not get a handle on Cunha runners. Taking a risk on this pick today: Army Ethos nearly won the Covcntry in '23. Had a couple low key runs this season and improved lto. I think 8f on dirt is going to be very interesting as long as not held up too far back.

Army Ethos 10/1 0.5pt ew

3.50 - I wouldnt be surprised to see an Appelby 123 in this. Hassallan seems big at 25s. However, English Oak is a pain in the arse having beaten my selection lto and not won the last maybe 5 times in UK I backed him. On his day super talented and looked in great form lto. Fingal Raven next best for me, but shorter distance and harder draw make it trickier today.

English Oak 13/2 1pt ew

4.25 - Elusive Trevor 11/8 1pt win

5.00 - Not as an exciting 6f line up as have seen in previous weeks and popping for couple long shots. Odai squeezed out lto but ran on strongly into 4th and Condor Pasa who can deffo win off this mark over C&D, but has a poor jock. That said all he has to do is break and run. Can make all. Nothing fancy needed.

Odai 16/1 0.5pt ew

Condor Pasa 20/1 0.5pt ew

5.35 - Trappy race. Chance on Road Bloc

Road Bloc 20/1 0.5pt ew

Elusive Trevor / City of Delight 0.25pt 20/1 Double
