Really quickly today:

Segal has gone for Jezki 3/1 in the big one.

Doncaster 12.40 - Next Sensation 3/1 is still ahead of handicapper I hope.

Doncaster 1.45 - Oscar Hoof Evs. Best form by a long way and all Hendo's runners have improved after first run

Leopardstown 2.00 - The field need to improve a stone to beat Hurricane Fly Evs. Lets wait til he is toppled before jumping off thechampion

Leopardstown 3.05 - Morning Assembly 11/8

Bets 28/12/2013

Segal landed decent ew accs again yesterday and he goes with 3 more today:

1.45 Newbury - Kaki De La Pree 8/1
2.35 Chepstow - Tidal Bay 14/1
2.55 Leapordstown - Unioniste 6/1

Just a few for me...

1.30 Chepstow - Lookout Mountain 6/1 can reverse placings with Moorlands Mist as 15lb better off with the claimer

2.00 Chepstow - Solar Impulse 5/2 looks to marginally have best form in France. Nicholls likes him.

2.35 Chepstow - I heart Tidal Bay and yes it's a tough weight but Nicholls thinks he has an incredible chance as does Segal so lets go with it. The Henessey is the key indicator for this and we know he stays and stays and stays.

Bets 27/12/2013

A lovely Segal 25/1 double yesterday! Was actually 42/1 if you managed to get his prices, but I did not! Argh! More decent racing and more Tom Pricewise Segal bets:

1.20 Leopardstown - Hidden Cyclone 12/1

2.55 Leopardstown - Sraid Padraig 14/1, Daring Article 12/1

3.05 Kempton - Valoroso 8/1

Bog runner focus today:

1.00 Kempton - Vicenzo Mio Evs has won decent French races on very soft ground

1.30 Kempton - All the favs got turned over yesterday but Grandeout has 6lb weight in hand from Valdez and Dodging Bullets. Grandeout was the best hurdler and I think should have beaten a very useful Hinterland last time out and we know he handles ground.

2.00 Kempton - Utopie Des Bordes 4/1 brings best form to the race and although Mrs Peachy finished 9 lenghts in front of UDB 3 races ago most of Hendo horse have needed their first run and all best form is on soft/heavy

3.05 Kempton - Can kind of see why Segal has gone for Valoroso but at 14/1 On Trend is surely better value coming down so far in the handicpa. A couple races last year where he hacked up at Sandown on heavy and was very close to winning a similar handicap over C&D too off the same mark.

3.40 Kempton - Can't work out whether Three Kingdoms is well handicapped or not. I think he might be so 7/2 is worth chancing as looks better on flatter tracks. The other I like in this is Fergall 8/1. Looks ahead of handicapper.

Not touching Ireland...

Sadly only no time to punt today. Tom Pricewise Segal from the RacingPost has gone for a couple today:

Wetherby 1.35 – Cloudy Too 9/2

Kempton 3.10 – Silvi Conti 5/1

Kempton may turn out to be the Nicholls and Hendo show,so might be worth a cheeky acc of some sort. 

I've already backed Al Ferof 8/1 for the KG. Cue Card ran badly here last year unlike Dynaste, Menorah and Long Run who love it here. Tough race.

Kempton 3.45 – Quaddick Lake is a few pounds away from winning and the 10lb claim may do the trick. Twelve Roses 4/1 has the best form (More of That) and Special Catch franked that at the weekend. If Beyeh reproduces the romp he pulled out last time then he is miles ahead of handicapper. Beyeh 5/1 w/o Twleve Roses is maybe tempting.

Bets 21/12/2013

Funny how you can be up £700 after days of good wins and then back to even after 2 bad days! Maybe Tom Segal can help. He has picked:

Haydock 2.05 – Wicklow Lad 16/1

Ascot 3.35 – Kaylif Aramis 20/1, Willow’s Saviour 16/1

Main focus on Ascot, but a few elsewhere too.

Haydock 1.00 – As I am 10/3

Ascot 1.15 – Easter Day 5/4 has good form course form and a trainer who has won this race last 3 years

Ascot 1.50 – Pendra looks awesome, but this is a handicap, but clearly is better than 139 so ought be winging this. Lots of C&D winners but the one I fancy is Gus Macrae 12/1. He won a listed handicap chase here last November of 128 within enough in hand and today he is 122. So it’s a winnable mark and no excuses. The price is 12/1 largely based on average current form so if hits form which is always does at Ascot has a good e/w chance.

Haydock 2.05 – Can see why Segal has picked Wicklow Lad. Was running of much higher mark but does have something to prove for me. Loch Ba, Tartak, Triptico and Night Alliance all on the shortlist. Hmm. Will go with Triptico 16/1 who ran a decent race here in March behind Cedre Blue and Night Alliance 14/1 who is still ahead of the handicapper.

Ascot 2.25 – Surely between the top two and At Fishers Cross 4/7 was a long way ahead of Reve De Sivola last time before mistake cost him maybe even the race. No excuses today. Cost me a heck of a lot of cash last time out!

Haydock 2.40 – More of That’s formline points to Special Catch 11/8

Ascot 3.00 –Houblon Des Obeaux 4/1 loves Ascot and heavy ground! Was nearly tempted by Cedre Bleu.

Ascot 3.35 – The horses that win this aren’t world beaters but they are decent handicappers. Sounds obvious I know, but just like to remind myself. I went through each horse trying to find a reason they coulnt’ win and I was left with City Slicker 11/1, Chatterbox 9/1 and Willows Saviour 16/1. City Slicker bolted up last time pretty much on the bridle and it’s likely the huge hike will still underestimate him. Interestingly the sponsors are shortest about a few horses in the betting City Slicker and Chatterbox both only 6/1. Chatterbox is much more effective on softer ground and I was peeved when we beat MTOY, but having had first run of season will be close at the finish as still only on 143 which might underestimate him. Willows Savoiur is simply a progressive looking horse who likes Ascot. Segal has picked him so adds to the confidence.

When you bet on 8 races, have 5 winners at 16/1, 12/1, 4/1, 11/8 and 5/4 and 2 places at 12/1 and 4/1 you really ought be be making more than this...FUMING...

Bets 20/12/2013

ARGH! Quiet Warrior was laid for a shed load at 1.21. And guess what, yes, my lay was set at 1.2. FFS! Argh! No bankers today I don't think.

Southwell 12.10 – Better Value 12/1 looks better value than Mishrif Evs.

Ascot 1.00 – Keen to give Mac’s Return 16/1 another chance. Was sick last time out but was very impressive on debut. Such A Legend 20/1 form with Beat That is interesting too

Ascot 1.30 – Rio De Sivola was not that impresseive in a 4 horse race which he made all in as some are saying (Well in my view) and a mark of 122 is not overly compelling although you’d expect him to improve with age and he does get a nice 5lb age allowance too. I just wonder whether Orabora 11/2 who achieved one of the better hurdles marks might be on a decent chase mark. Hobbs mentioned him in his stable tour and although didn’t give any clues away interesting he was mentioned.

Ascot 2.00 – Inevitbaly everyone will be either Volnay De Thaix or Irving and perhaps a few on Splash of Ginge. So I’ll be different. Massini’s Trap is currently definitely a mid 130’s horse proven against Flaxen Flare, Caid Du Berlais and somewhat Jezki and I think so might SoG. The two principles don’t have more grounding for their ratings than a well informed BAH rating which yes will be the best around, but still not proven so at 20/1 willing to give Massini’s Trap a pop.

Ascot 2.35 – 4 horse race so not betting but would have gone with Mr. Mole.

Bets 19/12/2013

Funny how when you have a small good run you think you’re able to pluck out 100/1 and 25/1 shots in competitive fields and bet in 4 runner races  when you’ve always avoided. That’s what happened yesterday but thankfully Quiet Warrior was rampant and that was as I wrote the bigger bet so covered me, and some.

1.20 Exeter – Shammick Boy 5/1 and Look for Love 18/1 both look to have a chance here. Both have soft ground form and course form and are on conceivably winninig marks. Look for Love had first run back and looked a bit rusty but if you look back to April he beats Shammick Boy on formline. However SB takes a big drop in class here and you’ve be very disappointed if was not in top 3.

1.50 Exeter – 4 horse race so avoiding even though Bury Parade looks likely.

2.10 Towcester – Gorgehous Lliege 13/8 lost an iron at beginning of last race and his record here is 121. Looks worthy favourite in this lower class.

2.50 Exeter – I know I shouldn’t be hitting long shots but old boy Knapp Bridge Boy 65/1 looks too good to pass up. Runs well fresh and won a similar race last year over C&D by 16 lengths when only 4 pounds lower.

5.30 Kempton – The two market leaders look worthy but there are two who are definitely better at Kempton than their handicap mark and worth chancing ew. Bint Alzain 16/1 and Moortahan 16/1. The latter ran half a dozen lengths behind horses who finished close to Toomore and Steeler.

6.30 Kempton – Asia Minor 4/1 to bolt up again.

7.00 Kempton – Grey Mirage 11/10 is the banker of the day so a large back to lay bet again. Last month in a class 2 over C&D he beat higher rated horses by 6 lenghts with a quick time. If he front runs again then theres always the danger of something catching him so hence why hitting the lay button at about 1.2

Bets 18/12/2013

A few more nice wins yesterday. Slightly peeved ditched Forthefunofit for Cool Sky as would have been a nice treble, but all good.

Newbury 12.10 – May consider backing Dawalan 6/5. A number of Henderson horses have needed their first run and actually the form of that last race is sound and this is a drop in class.

Newbury 2.15 – This is really competitive and probably not worth betting on. Gullinbursti 2/1 has to rate as a worth favourite as on official OR he has 6lb in hand. Hadrian’s Approach will have perfect conditions today to prevail as in fact all the rest do. O’Fs Boy is clearly a danger on Chase debut as was rated the same as Gullinbursti over Hurdles. If pushed would stick with the favourite though

Newbury 2.45 – Tistory and Broomfield probably deserve their place at the top here. The former has to give weight all round as is entered in a G2 in 2 days time, so not sure why is here. Unconvinced maybe? I’m not as close this year to hot juveniles, but I do remember watching Captain Cutter and thinking was pretty decent. On that form, I think Fine Words 22/1 absolutely has to be worth and ew punt. RPR ratings have him down as 4^th best, not 8^th best.

Kempton 4.20 – Thankyouverymuch cost me a wad of cash but that formline must be the best on show here and so going with Spring Tonic 6/1 ew

Kempton 5.50 – Quiet Warrior 10/11 was hammered in the betting last week before the meeting was canned. Same again today. I’m going to have a big back to lay on Betfair on this one so don’t lose any money if gets close to winning. Travelled very well on debut and has solid chance to win today.

Kempton 6.20 – A very competitive race with loads of C&D winners and hopefully it will be a truly run race with those held up storming home. If they do I have to be with Troopingthecolour 7/1 ew. He takes a long time to get going so reckon could trade at a high price, but that race wime was pretty quick and beating Glorious Protector who is a solid 3 year old is good form.

Kempton 6.50 – Time for a 100/1 ew bet. Swale Star ran okay for about 4.5furlongs before the pace increased against some decent enough horses over 6f here. Is bred to be a 8f horse so there is a slither of hope that might improve after first run and step up in trip and 5lb claim

Going to a have a few bets today but all minimum £20 bets and an ew double on the jumps picks.

1.40 Catterick – Cool Sky 5/1 ew. I thought he ran a decent race last time out but had a pretty hard flat campaign for a young one and a break and with that experience and being held up a bit more can take this. The reason going each way is Forthefunofit who lost me a bet last time out might well be the one to beat

2.00 Southwell – I knew La Estrella 8/11 would get beat against Reve De Nuit last time out at Southwell, but really does not have any excuse except age today

2.50 Fakenham – Hopeland 7/1 ew. Again there might be a couple better handicapped, but won by 28 lenghts (which value for more as was eased) over this distance two races ago. Last time I think was too far.

3.00pm update... Kanfer has given me a tip. 3.10 Catterick - Master Dee 2/1 so will have a score on it and maybe a back to lay on betfair as well seeing as made a nice bit on earlier bet

A decent enough weekend. The only daft thing was betting on 5 horses in the big handicap. I thought Sew on Target was going to do something for me, but did not last after front running. The New One looks decent but not sure how to assess with Hurricane Fly yet. More of That looks decent and Kings Palace who was the obvious lump job looks like a potential banker for the festival as does Briar Hill.

I was happy I managed to only bet in a few races on Saturday. I will try to keep doing the same. Also, I thought I would stop lumping, but I don’t think I will. I’ll just change tactics and use Betfair. Going to back big and lay off at around 1.2/1.3. I’m happy to hedge because 4 of 5 lumps that I’ve lost this year all traded really short before coming 2nd, so will give it a whirl….

Plumpton 1.15 – Everyone is tipping Knock House 7/4. I’m not convinced is a banker but will go with it. He can have a score of my money but that’s it and if that Hendo horse gets act together looks dangerous alongside Sky Watch.

A fair few interesting looking favourites, but the rain makes it hard to assess how deep it's going to get, so leaving alone

Total Staked £20.00, Total Returned £50.00

£20.00 Knock House  2/1 - WIN £50.00 HA - Tipsters got it right today, but the Hendo horse was a NR so may have been different.

Bets 14/12/2013

Chelts 12.10 – Geraghty reckons Kentucky Hyden 7/4 is very very good, although Nicholls thinks Vicenzo Mio is very good. Hmm

Chelts 12.40 – Rematch between Le Bec, Shutthefrontdoor and Sam Winner, but it’s a four horse race so I’m not getting involved.

Chelts 1.15 – I like Eastlake 13/2. Clearly Hendo wants to win this, but can’t work out which one has the best chance.

Chelts 1.50 – On paper looks like a walk in the park for Kings Palace 11/8. The horse he beat by 18lenghts won a G2 here last month. Surely a LUMP?

Chelts 2.25 – It’s not Segal this week but Pricewise has gone with Color Squadron 6/1 and Salut Flo 14/1. Agree with both. Cantlow, Easter Meteor and Grandioso meet again and at the weights Grandioso 15/2 has a chance. If there are two long shots to target then Sew On Target 16/1 has to be that. He is only 4 pounds higher when Johns Spirit beat him 4.5 lengths whereas JS is 19pounds higher. Yes you have to take into account improvement but who is to say Sew on Target can’t improve a handful? Lastly with Hobbs going so well and Gauvain 40/1 returning to chasing his Chelts form is worth chancing for a place!

Chelts 3.00 – Everyone is saying The New One even Nicholls is suggesting it, so the only logical value bet is the straight forecast as nothing else is in this league, but even that is probably not worth it as imagine everyone will be on it.

Doncaster 3.15 – Harry The Viking 11/2 can bounce back over a track he likes and ground he needs

Chelts 3.35 – Another 4 horse race – no interest in betting as tactics are important as we simply can’t mind read.

Bets 13/12/2013

I was lucky to make profits yesterday and I’ll explain how, but it went badly wrong for two reasons:

Firstly I listened to all the pundits about Module and went against the obvious class in Riverside. He had 12lb in hand over Module on ratings and guess what he beat him by 10lenghts... Thankfully put 5 times more on RS than module closer to the off.

Secondly, I looked at trainer form and results of trainers at tracks then tried to find reasons that horse would win. Stupid. Out of desperation I tried to find a better way of punting. No need. I watched the first race on RUK and the commentator suggested backing Rule of Thumb because of some race at Kempton April. Low and behold it was pretty much on the bridle 95% of the way round and won with ease. He gave his reasons and it reemphasises important of video study and knowing your form. So that helped me win a good amount

Anyway back to today, Tom Pricewise Segal from the RacingPost has picked two today:

2.10 Chelts - Prince of Pirates 7/1

3.15 Chelts - Abruzzi 16/1

I heart Chelts...

Bangor 12.10 – Ahyaknowyourself  3/1 was the best hurdler so will risk it.

Chelts 12.30 – Wonderful Charm has been impressive, but giving 8lb to Oscar Whiskey Evs might be hard especially as WC’s only go at Chelts was a bit disappointing.

Chelts 1.40 – Seriously tough this one. Impossible to know whether Skyfarmer is well treated. Will take a risk looking at RP ratings and fact not run at Chelts to say cross of list. Uhlan Bute looked to have a pretty hard race last week and not run at Chelts, so even though on a decent mark can’t back him. Zafranagar should not beat Canadian Diamond at the weights this time as 9lb better off. Lyvius who went chasing now back to hurdles won a Listed handicap of this rating last year so has to be there but I think might prefer soft ground. Dresden was in contention for most of the race last time over C&D and not sure whether the hill beat him or just got tired. The trainer quietly fancies him at a big price, but that day Maxi Chop was travelling much better than him and the form of that race is hot so MC over Dresden. I going Maxi Chop 7/2 and Canadian Diamond 12/1

Chelts 2.10 – All the pundits are once again on one horse. This time is Prince of Pirates. I will of course back it as is Pricewise, but I’m not convinced. Hendo says “He’s interesting” – can read jack all from that. Theatre Guide is the obvious one after the Henessey but had a tough race. Burton Port should not be handicapping at this weight. Pigeon Island has come into form again in class2 and we know he likes to win at Chelts, but step back up in grade surely too much to ask. Aimigayle was a decent 2^nd in the Byrne couple years ago, but never convinced about horses who switched between jumps disciplines. Duke of Lucca is not bad but held on form with Quentin Collonges and so it’s the Murphy Group handicap form we need to look at – Monbeg Dude, Knockara Beau and QC. I just get a slight niggling feeling that QC struggles up the hill so will go with KB 9/1 and MD 8/1

Chelts 2.40 – At the weights Any Currency 9/2 has a massive chance.

Chelts 3.15 – I don’t get why Sunnyhillboy is hurdling, unless its to lower his chase mark. Actually not sure that’s possible, but either way cant see him winning today. Thomas Crapper and Angles Hill both solid Chelts horses but can they step up in trip and class? Destroyer Deployed might be an interesting outsider here, but think the ground is too quick for him. So, we end up with that painful race where Return Springs booned my two Nicholls horses on the line last time out. I’m taking Southfield Theatre 4/1 to avenge defeat

Huntingdon 12.30 – Zafaraban 15/2 runs with potential and then runs like he needs a kick on off on off. Very frustrating I imagine. A stronger handler onboard today and first time cheekpieces might do the trick today!

Huntingdon 1.00 – Be a shocker if Une Artiste 1/2 lost this. I knew not to back him last time out, but the weights all in his favour today

Huntingdon 1.30 – I feel a good day coming on for Hendo. Karazhan 7/1 looks a solid horse. Bags of speed and a solid jumper. Top weight might be tough, but he;’s entered in the Ladbrokes Hurdle later this year so must be well thought of

Huntingdon 2.00 – Pretty decent race today. At the weights I’d be shocked if Captain Chris pulled this out the bag. The obvious one is clearly Riverside Theatre on OR and weights but he has just been poor last few races. Problem is when fresh he has won all but once and has bags of speed and on a quick track like Huntingdon has no excuses today. But as I am doing so poorly at the moment I’ve bought into all the tipsters choice (including Tom Pricewise Segal) of Module 4/1. His form is best on offer currently and the stats say he is improving. I’ve used my free loyalty bet on the RT/Module F/c 12/1 so I don’t kick myself about following the herd as I think Riverside T who is 12lb better off than Module looks better and sure can find a few excuses for previous run with were not suitable conditions…

Huntingdon 2.30 – Time to be a bit mad. On form Balinderry 18/1 has nothing. On pedigree has a lot more and has had McCoy onboard previously so clearly well thought of. Trainer is in decent form so if chasing over longer trip is the answer then 18/1 might be silly.

Huntingdon 3.00 – Namibian! Blast from the past! What is he doing here? Had massive colic issues I think and although a class apart surely cant back him in different sphere after so long off! Instead the mare Truckers Darling 25/1 has a 7lb allowance and might be worth changing. Ran a decent race last time in a similar quality race last time and on RPR must have a better chance than this with the pull.

Hong Kong 2013

Hong Kong Vase – Looks like you want to avoid high draws on this, and by far the best in The Fugue 6/5.

Hong Kong Sprint – Lord Kanaloa looks the bees knees. There is a lot of emphasise on the draw but I’m willing to ignore at my own peril. Lucky Nine will take advantage if draw is that mega.

Honk Kong Mile – Sky Lantern for the emotion

Hong Kong Cup – Nothing random - Military Attack

Bets 07/12/2013

Out all weekend so no major punting. Pricewise Segal has gone for:

2.05 Aintree - Rose of The Moon 33/1, Storm Survivor 25/1
2.25 Sandown - Milord 12/1, Whitby Jack 16/1
3.15 Aintree - Stormin Exit 16/1

No time to look at anything else which is a shame as card looks pretty fun!
