 10/1, 7/2, 9/1 winners in the first 3 races. Thought was going to be an epic day. Still decent but not the big one.

3.05 Leicester - Little Helen 5/1 looks well handicapped. The 3 in behind all have won since and one is now 74 rated.

4.15 Leicester - Cabinet  of Clowns 7/1 back down in class big chance. 

4.48 Leicester - Cruise 11/1. Ran a decent on debut and then not sure what happened. Improved over a maybe 2 stone for a the new trainer. Not heard of Sansgter but horse was last race by 6 lengths and whilst wasn't much of a race may well be a few lbs ahead of mark back on turf.

Irish racing never been my forte as just don't know the formlines as well as in GB. Proved it again yesterday with a no show in all 3 IRish picks, though the horses prices were hammered so maybe was not far off?

2.15 - Transcendental 8/1 is interesting. Improving every race over the last half a dozen of so whilst mark is slipping. Was a lot of early money for this and normally worth taking note when it's from Crowmell's yard....

2.45 - Luxembourg 7/2. Keen to take Vadeni on. This wasn't the plan for the horse. Stoute is not is great form so putting a line through Bay Bridge. Luxembourg finally came good in the Irish Champion Stakes and was maybe a tad unlucky in the Arc not to finish better. Assuming will come on a heap for the run lto

3.15 - Just Beautiful 9/1 - Nearly convinced this is a 110 rated horse on quick ground over a mile.

3.50 - Mediate 7/1 Antepost 

4.25 - Mister Mister 6/1 - PAddinton is surely the formline to follwo. Drumroll had a fitness edge over MM lto. MM was held up and jock was high in the saddle for a longer time than any other. Given far too much to do. Think can turn the tables over a longer trip.

4.55 - Eziva 10/3 - Likely one of the top 3 in market will win.

5.25 - Morph Speed 10/1 - Distance winner of a lower mark. Thought good enough to run in the Chester Cup. Massive step in in form on reappearance over a trip too short. If comes on for the run can go close

Might look at a acca w/o some of the faves with above.

Bets 25/05/2023

a 12/1 winner always makes a poor runs feel less painful.

Haydock 3.30 - Chasseral 2/1 makes sense. Form is good behind Shaquille an Washington Heights. I wonder if Treble Glory 28/1ew is worth a few coins. The form behind Mill Stream reads really well. Last two races has been held up. If gets held up again will be annoying as this is a good C&D to try and make all.

Catterick 4.40 - Kitai 14/1 is chucked in if you ignore the last two races. Not sure what excuses there are. Wins or comes last.

Wolves 4.50 - Grand Central 28/1ew Back in Feb at Wolves ran a cracker over too far. Back in trip and down 9lb. Trevor rides well at the course, trainer had a few winners of late. Current form of horse is dire, so has to bounce back but maybe the Tapeta can do this.

Sandown 6.12 - Silastar 13/8 short but well handicapped still

Sandown 6.42 - Hackman 8/1ew to make all

Sandown 7.42 - Cash 5/1ew. The form with Westover is not ignorable. Maybe the better best is Cash without Desesrt Crown. Stoute farms this race.

Sandown 8.15 - Indemnify 12/1ew. Similar to top 3 bets, if bounces to form is chucked in.

Sandown 8.42 - If Greek Order 2/1 stays will likely win. Almarin 25/1ew. That Yarmouth race is interesting. 2nd now much higher rated and 3 went really close at Keenland in much better race than this.

Bets 24.05.2023

 2.00 Yarmouth - Alpha King 9/2 chucked in if fit. Samshed in betting

5.45 Yarmouth - Revolutionary Man 5/1 chucked in if goes on turf as well

Better yesterday. It's a hard day today. Pippin for some longshots only.

2.05 Newmarket - If this was 7f I'd be smashing Yellow Lion 33/1ew. Worth a play still as better ground may give more of a chance to get the mile. Acotanco rfc

2.40 Newmarket - Rogue Lightening 18/1ew. Eminency rfc

Bets 19.05.2023

Designer was backed from 8/1 into 4/1 but either the ground was too quick or closer to the rail the ground was just a lot slower with winners again coming more central

State Occasion was backed from 18/1 into 10/1 but fond the pace too quick but also ran against the rail and when moved more central towards the end picked up the pace.

ED was backed from 12/1 into 13/2 and was useless. I wrote in my comments not looking at the cards again incase back more. Obviously called out Croupier who won. 

Passenger should have won but was useless. At this point I turned off. 

Chesspiece won as per my comments to round off a shocker.

York 1.50 - Not a race should bet in but keeps me engaged for future form. Got to Love A Grey 10/3 collateral form with the Brocklesby. Split the stake with Dorothy Perkins 7/1

York 2.25 - Queen for You 4/1 has been priced up at 14/1 for the Coronation Stakes. 93 RPR on debut. Juliet Sierra 12/1

York 3.00 - Aramaic would be an interesting pick but bee off for  long time. Nobel 5/1 is well handicapped but all horses in here have questions

York 3.35- Broome finally came good in Meydan. Followed it for so long. Had Quickthorn in that race in Meydan and would have been epic if won. Backed it because of the form against Coltrane at York. I hope doesn't win today :( I'm backing Siskany 9/4

York 4.10 - New Business 4/1 was travelling the best against Kathab before emptying out. Who will improve more. Let's see

York 4.45 - Titan Rock 15/2, Mudamer 28/1ew could be stinky plot

York 5.15 - Spartan Arrow 9/2 and Clearpoint 12/1 cliff horse

Bets 17.05.2023

York 1.50 - I've tried to take on the Haggas hotpot the last two years and failed. La Yakel 3/1 opened at 8/1 so assuming it's very well fancied. Real Dream was next on the list but at 5/1 and the draw am dodging. I think Thundering 12/1ew is the best of the longer shots given C&D form, trainer form and draw.

York 2.25 - They chucked Gulliver 20/1ew into a G1 last year last race. Was favourite in the Coral Sprint over C&D penultimate race. Both races flopped but surely must have expected more? Either the horse has regressed or this is one of O'Meara's handicap nags for the year with a stone to play with. At 20s willing to chance it. Half bet on the nose on First Folio 14/1 on betfair. Decent C&D form and form of last race going okay. Half bet on the nose on Lucky Man 14/1 on betfair on the low draw. I think, but I'm not sure ground is marginally quicker on that side according to goingstick? 

York 3.00 - Marshman 5/1ew. This opened much bigger. I was going think about Art Power (cliff horse) and Dilligent Harry but not sure how good on turf yet. Leave as is.

York 3.35 - I have Infinite Cosmos 20/1 for the Oaks so not sure what want to do for this race. Will leave. Novokai been hammered but leaving be.

York 4.10 Coco Jack 11/1ew just wish yard were in better form. Caragio has been smashed but Ramazan 8/1 is potentially really well handicapped based on the Goffs Million.

York 4.45 - Kylian 2/1

York 5.15 - Another race can back half a dozen. Strawman 20/1ew and Piercedresistance 20/1ew. Kihavah 8/1 will go close.

Backed far too many today.....

 1.30 Ascot - High Fibre 11/2ew - Risky as only ran once last season and no prep run this season, but but using Israr as a formline wins.

2.05 Ascot - How is Timeless Melody 9/4 running off 80?? ? given the form. I'm doubling down on this. Granted I've had few glasses of red wine....

2.40 Ascot - No idea where the best place is to be drawn. Typically I go high draw and find the most unexposed horse I can but couldn't find one. Went with Safe Voyage 14/1, Tylos 25/1 and Spycatcher 12/1

3.45 Ascot - Dasho Lennie 11/2

Bets 11/05/2023

 Couple winners and a place yesterday.

Chester 1.30 - Yesterday was a reminder of why backing Stall 1 in 5f races, almost blindly, is worthwhile. Night On Earth 7/1ew is actually chucked in on best form. C&D winner, but the ground is a bit of an unknown.

Chester 2.05 - Thetheoryofeverything 7/2 has 100 horses all around it in the Greenham on only 2nd race an is running off 94 today

Chester 3.15 - Changingoftheguard 6/4

Chester 4.55 - Burglars Dream 12/1ew is interesting if stays. Potentially well handicapped off the run behind Desert Hero. 

Bets 10.05.2023

 My accounts don't reflect the winners. Looks like have been squeezing away profits blindly backing other people's tips. Hmm.

Backed some at Chester yesterday. Here they are:

1.30 Chester - Ziggy's Pheonix 5/2. Front runner, drawn 1 with Moore onboard. If it's good enough it will win.

2.05 Chester - Squealer 13/2ew. I didn't think about the ground when backed this, but it's a step down in grade. Ground may be an issue. From stall 1 Marquand needs to make all like the horse did at Beverley.

2.40 Chester - Savethelastdance 8/13. Moore going to have a great day :)

3.45 Chester - Royal Dress 7/2. Chucked in. Good draw. Moore again.

4.55 Chester - Broken Spear 5/1ew. This has drifted now to 7s. I'm sure if I looked at the cards for the first time this morning I'd back Paws For Thought 4/1

Bets 08.05.2023

 And just like that all crashing down yesterday.

4.35 Ayr - Tellus 15/8 well handicapped on handicap debut. A few horses substantiate this.

4.40 Windsor - Confederation 6/1ew. Romped on turf back in June and well handicapped on that run alone. Looked unlucky not to win at Kempton.

Bets 07.05.2023

18/1, 7/4, 5/2, 9/2, 8/1, 6/4 winners with 16/1, 10/1 and 6/1ews placed. 1 NR and only 4 bets with no return. Decent, but not one acca landed! How!?

Today I'm not seeing anything too far away from the top of the market which is of course annoying, but hey.

1.15 Newmarket - Trappy race with a small field. Adayar is fully exposed now (surely). Anmaat carries a 5lb penalty. Francesco Clemente 5/1 worth a pop. Casually won a handicap by 9lenghts. Beat Secret State who by 2 lengths who is now a 111 horse. Course form. Frankie.

1.50 Newmarket - Don't like this race. Keeping it simple. Firstman 13/2ew ran between a set of 105 and 93 horses last flat race and running of 88 today. Buick booked. 

3.00 Newmarket - Another trappy one. Life in Motion 3/1. Really tried to find something to take it on, but struggling due to ground and class.

3.40 Newmarket - Already have Tahiyra 7/2 AP and Remarquee 20/1 AP. 

4.15 Newmarket - Another Burke monster? Kylian 7/4

4.50 Newmarket - Kadavor 4/1 is chucked in. Hey Lyla confirmed the mark next time out.

5.25 Newmarket - Followed Lion of War 4/1 off a cliff last year. Let's go one more time.

3.25 Leo - Trying to buck trends by removing AOB as the winner of this race. Proud and Regal 7/4 is already a G1 winner and near enough a stone better than anything else.

Bets 06.05.2023

Okay day yesterday. Few more lessons learned. If only could remember them all. 

1.20 Goodwood - Same problem as the 3.45 as Queally poor record at the track. Backed Novus 18/1ew and was hammered in the market but a lot of Moore’s horses are. Let’s see as well handicapped

3.05 Goodwood - Honiton formlines are joyous. Close behind My Prospero, Secret State and Eldar Eldarov. Been off for a while and gelded so even though on best form nothing comes close here will put into an acca only. Magalak not sure massively well handicapped. Going with Stay Well 6/1ew. A seasoned C2 handicapper who was been running is good enough race.

3.45 Goodwood - I have a problem again because Queally is 0-33 at the track but Mark of Gold 7/4 is surely miles ahead of anything in this race? Motazzen opened at 20/1 but shiftly chopped to 8/1. Ran today and I'm not keen on horses who do this.

4.20 Goodwood - Sera Dawn 7/2 is still well handicapped. Beat two 80s rated horses few races back so still some in the tank

----

1.40 Newmarket - I remember backing Teumessias Fox 5/2 50/1ew at Royal Ascot King George Stakes. Finished 2 lengths behind Secret State; gutted. Then followed it off a cliff. Deleted from tracker. Returns this season and bolts ups by 4l. I'm sure is capable of more now gelded.

2.15 Newmarket - Was orginally tossing up the two Boughey horses, but Azure Blue 9/2 has an impeccable course record. Blew the start last time and still won very cosily. Hopefully a sprinter going places. Spring Feeling is the unknown quantity for me and could also keep progressing. Put a 0.25 stake at 11/1 

2.50 Newmarket - Buick and Hills are both in amazing form so Tanamawwy jumps right out but is 6/1, hmm. I much prefer Saint Laurence 20/1ew and Strike Red 16/1ew at the prices. 

3.25 Newmarket - I've been following Bopedro for a while and when it romped not only was I chuffed as got my cliff money back and some, but because Empirestateofmind 10/1ew went straight into the tracker. I see this as a strong formline and clearly likes the course. For some weird reason even before this race Alicia Keys was stuck in my head. Gotta be a sign right? ;)

4.00 Newmarket - Can't pick between Twinlight Calls and Maccanan. Areciabo could be a decent play for a place, but I'm walking away from it.

4.40 Newmarket - I'm already on Auguste Rodin 5/1 AP and Chaldean 8/1 AP. Enough. Not bothered looking at the race further but now I always fear what ammo Burke has....

5.15 Newmarket - Washington Heights 10/1ew. Poor draw last time, didn't do much, but hopefully that's blown away any dust. From 2yr old days has the best form (Cold Case) and looks well handicapped based on all 3 of nh races over 6f. Hope has a solid chance.

---

5.10 Naas - Sandy Creek 5/4. Form is rock solid. Pedigree is decent.

----

5.55 Doncaster - Elite Status 6/4. When a Burke horse gets backed like this you follow blind

7.25 Doncaster - Aqwaam 6/1ew. Williams in good form. Aqwaam back to winning mark, good chance.

Bets 05.05.2023

The weather is likely to screw everything but let's go anyway....

Newmarket 1.15 - Appleby holds the aces but stable form a worry. It's not a worry for Like A Tiger 5/1 who is a solid C&D winner. Times are maybe not as good as Castle Bay but has had a run and the ground was slower for LaT.

Newmarket 1.50 - Seems obvious to back Native Trail, but let's see how the blues get on in the first race. Imperial Fighter was 3rd in the Irish Guineas @28s and 2nd behind Corbeous over C&D, so going with Imperial Fighter (Top 2) 15/2

Newmarket 2.25 - Shouldvebeenaring 7/2, ran on really well over 6f last time after being caught behind horses and running on the slower part of the track. Top rated

Newmarket 3.00 - Star of Orion 5/1 is handicapped to win and likes the track

Newmarket 4.10 - Soprano 6/4. Money & jockey booking.

Newmarket 4.45 - Infinte Cosmos Evs. Form is strong.

Newmarket 5.20 - Had some coins on Warning Sign 4/1 as backed it last time and was hammered in the market before being a NR. Moore hasn't had a winner in 22 runners at the track which is what puts me off not sticking with this. Azano 28/1ew 4places is potentially massive. Omeara in great nick and on best form Azano is chucked in. I feel is regressive but would have finished much closer last time out if not for couple problems in running.

Goodwood 1.30 - Ethandun 7/4 backed like it can't lose.

Goodwood 2.05 - Time Lock is half a stone clear on ratings but it's very short at Evs given the layoff. Alaroos 9/1ew from Golden Horn very speculative but breeding is strong

Goodwood 3.10 - Spanish Star 7/2. Solid C&D winner, had first run back and had nowhere to go. Probert needs to make sure does not get hemmed in and hits go early enough and SS can take some time to get going. The Lamplighter looks biggest threat. Coins on the 20/1fc TL/SS

Goodwood 4.20 - Lunarscape 8/1 is well handicapped but if Frequent Flyer 16/1ew runs anywhere near some of the Ffos Las form will be walking home to victory

Benoit has 4 decent rides tomorrow but none of the trainers are in form. Would have been a decent ew yankee (did it anyway ;)) Evania 16s, Whendealisdone, 5s, Mudskipper 12s, Candy Shack 9s)

Bets 03.05.2023

 hmm. low grade flat handicaps merking me yesterday. A few of them missed the break by many many lengths.....

Ascot 1.30 - Repertoire 10/1ew romped this race last year and no reason why can't again this year. Yaanaas is most likely ahead of mark but not yet run of turf so not proven.

Ascot 3.50 - Cold Case 9/2

Ascot 4.25 - Lusail 15/2 ew nearly beat Corby in the St James over C&D. In fact beat My Prospero too
