Time constraints today. See how far get....

2.10 Chester - Marchogion 9/1ew

2.40 Chester

Boardman 12/1ew earlier in the week. Winner in waiting.

Under Siege 5/1

---

4.35 Curragh

Shayzann 11/1ew meets a bunch of trends and is defo well handicapped based on lto

Narmar 50/1ew Drifted to bottom of the market as if has no chance. In it's last 3 non-handicap runs horses around it suggest is defo well handicapped off 85. Could have won the premier handicap at Leopardstown, but started slowly and got blocked a number of times. Ran poorly lto on yielding ground and ran badly on soft/yielding on only other run on slow ground. Good ground tomorrow. Bookie the Seff. Why is it drifting like this? Maybe cos' Brommers who is in top form rn, is 0-50 at Curragh?

1.30 Beverley - Walter Hartright 9/4

2.05 Beverley - Democracy Dilemma 9/2ew

4.55 Beverley - Zapphire 11/2ew

Bets 24/08/2024

Could have, should have with Canoodled. Had Vauban, Shadow Dance and Al Noud in a trixie. If only put Canoodled (who of course wasn't held up in, instead of Al Noud!

Ground will be a massive unknown now with all the rain so going half stakes.

1.50 - Phantom Flight 8/1ew to make all and be gone. Decent current form. Best run probably at this festival couple year back when bolted in by 5 lengths in a handicap. Scott in decent nick. If you exclude the 3 year olds who historically struggle in this race, doesn't have that much to find on ratings.

2.25 - Equator 9/1ew. Don't like this race, but this is dropping in class from the Queens Vase and is ahead of mark. Jock is the worry.

3.00 - Audience 13/8. Is pretty much one stone better than anything in this field.

3.35 - Hipop De Loire 15/2 ew, Relentless Voyager 14/1ew both well handicapped for in form trainers. Burdett Road, My Mate Mozzie and Wise Eagle all on the shortlist but two is enough!

4.10 - Summerghand 9/1ew. Dark Thirty 28/1ew. Summerghand ran a blinder lto and now going for a hatrick in this race of a much lower mark. Dark Thirty is well handicapped and drawn near the only pace in the race.

4.45 - Ardennes 28/1ew, Fuji Mountain 33/1ew. Darts for fun only. Stupid race.

5.10 - Chasing Aphrodite 18/1ew won like a well handicapped horse at Sandown. A good 5lb claim and will try to make all. Andaleep 16/1ew is going to win soon. I don't think draw works today but not taking the risk :)    

Bets 23/08/2024

 1.50 - Shadow Dance 11/2ew 4p. Front / prominent runner. Stable in good form. Stable won this before. Draw is fine. Current form is decent. Previous runs suggest still well handicapped. Should go very close. Thought Dark Moon Rising may have been big at 33s, but keen on Shadow Dance.

2.25 - Vauban 7/2. Mullins popped in a 12/1 and 9/1 winner today. I think/hope Vauban will be firing today. Proven at the course and 2m will be perfect on fast ground.

3.00 - Shadow of Light 13/2ew. 

3.35 - Asfoora 13/8

4.10 - Al Noud 13/2ew. Would have backed Canoodled 28s if wasn't a hold up.

4.45 - Ultrasound 9/2. Form is decent. Eyecatcher lto. Stable in good form and have won this race before.

5.20 - Dosman 5/1 for the Varian hatrick. Volterra 18/1ew first or last.

Bets 22/08/2024

Well knew yesterday would be tough. Should have backed the obvious AOB faves. Also turns out forgot to look at drawbias. Maybe would have considered a few other things, but either way looks like prominent front runners drawn low for shorter distances is the way to go....

1.50 - Heavens Gate 5/2. Experience looks key in this race and with the form AoB is in wouldn't be taking this one on. Miss Lamai was interesting, but one is enough.

2.25 - An Outlaw's Grace 4/1. Blind bet on Hannon who farms this race. Booked Moore to get it done. Draw 13 is now the worry.

3.00 - Bennetot 20/1ew. Low draw :) O'Meara :) Chucked in. Probably 100+ rated. I'm just worried about it being held up

3.35 - Queen of The Pride 5/2. Nearly no bet the race, but this one is probably going to make a 120 horse if keeps progressing

4.10 - Satin 13/2ew. Another Moore booking. Top rated, even if giving some of the 3year olds weight.

4.45 - Dividend 20/1ew. Some interesting form lines and also on horse with a group entry

5.20 - Miss Information 15/2 and Raknah 12/1ew. Miss Info decent race last time from a poor draw and clearly well handicapped. Raknah will try to make all and hold on from MI.

Bets 21/08/2024

Really tough day. Could easily back a bunch of faves, but what would be the point in that ;)

1.50 - Silkie Wilkie 18/ew. Meets a whole bunch of trends. Step back in trip is key. Decent claim. Decent record over C&D. Democracy Dilemma was next on list, but Cowell form and record at York are not inspiring. 3year olds have a poor record else would be on Kylian as looks well handicapped. Sticking with the one.

2.25 - The Lion in Winter 5/2

3.00 - Euphoric 80/1ew. With Charlton in such poor form can't have King's Gambit. Los Angeles should win with Euphoric will be the pace setter. However, I just wonder, whether, with the ground Euphoric, bebe of Frankel who has better sire stats than Galileo, Saxon Warrior and Camelot over C&D, might just not be caught. Unlikely, but for shits and giggles at 80/1happy to throw some coins at it.

3.35 - Zarakem 12/1ew. Not sure worth taking on CoT, even though a fair few potential dangers, but this one ran a blinder behind AR lto and worth a pop to repeat the decent effort.

4.10 - Get Shirty 18/1ew. Risky given lto run, but over C&D, towards the top for me on best form.

4.45 - Pepsi Cat 18/1ew. If can ignore last run is well handicapped.

5.20 - Rokuni 22/1ew.

Bets 17/08/2024

2.25 Newbury - Myconian 9/1ew. Decent form. Once rated 99. Looks to be finding spark again.

3.00 Newbury - Be Frank 12/1ew. Interesting Ian Williams bought this. Creeping down the weights. Decent enough claimer. In good form. Has won 30% of 3yr+ handicaps at Newbury.

3.35 Newbury - Tiber Flow 4/1. Kikkuli needs to get head in front before restore belief. With Charlton so out of form and Haggas so in form, Tiber Flow is pick. Jumby is biggest danger.

5.15 Newbury - Markoon 2/1. Assuming stays is chucked in.

2.45 Ripon - Danzan 14/1ew. Is the best handicapped on best form. Yes was years ago at peak, but ran really well lto and down another lb.

3.20 Ripon - Emperor Spirit 20/1ew. 

3.25 Curragh - Girl Like You 10/1ew

5.45 Curragh - Sunday Sovereign 20/1ew

Bets 03/08/2024 - GG Day 5

3.00 Goodwood - Grateful 10/1ew

3.35 Goodwood - Purosangue 11/2ew

 A massive treble with Blue Prince, French Duke and Al Anoud yesterday.

Very little time today :(. It's 1am and am starting the research....

1.50 - Tough race to start

Approval 8/1ew. Backed at Ascot. Expected more. Lord of Love ran a binder yesterday off 91 so form is there.

Arabic Legend 16/1ew. Once settles is going in and why not today in a race Burke won last year.

3.00 - Meydaan 7/1ew

3.35 - Elmaka 7/1ew

4.10 - Fearless Freddy 7/1ew
