I know I should not be betting on the jumps, but I can't help it :) Normally you should avoid horses who had hard races at Cheltenham, but it was 4 weeks ago which is longer than normal.

1.40 Aintree - Joses Hill 13/8 was the best of these in the Arkle and won very easily at the Festival last year

2.15 Aintree - I expect a quick double from Hendo with Hargam 8/11 winning.

2.50 Aintree - I think I hate Silviniaco Conti. I thought had a decent place chance at Cheltenham. Was awful. The horses he beat in this last year weren't great. On form Holywell wins this, but I'm going on weight and banking on a Henderson treble with Ma Filleule 4/1. She loves Aintree and at the weights beats Holywell. No doubt SC will break me again!

3.25 Aintree - Artic Fire 15/8 has the best form

4.05 Aintree - On The Fringe 4/1 looked immense at Chelts. Warne last years winner is of interest but OTF will be top of class for next year or so I reckon.

4.45 Aintree - Next Sensation 8/1 is a massive e/w price. He romped the Grand Annual.

5.15 Aintree - Call The Cops 7/1 when you've robbed the bookies

Another 20/1 acc landed yesterday. 2 on the trot! Irish Grand National today and no real excitement my end for it. Tom Pricewise Segal from the Racingpost has tipped:

Fairyhouse 5.00 - Los Amigos 12/1 and Empire of Dirt 12/1

A few on the flat today but below average racing so need to tred carefully...

Redcar 1.40 - In Oct '12 Fisher 4/1 was running very well over 2m on good ground. First time will have these conditions again. Will have to bounce back from poor running though.

Redcar 2.10 - Fieldgunner Kirkup 8/1 is a course winner with pretty good form for this level. Is def a much better horse on quick ground

Redcar 3.20 - Well Off 5/6 has a Derby entry. Clue enough for me.

Redcar 3.55 - Tough handicap, but a few I like. Tiger Twenty Two, Chiswick Bey, Breakable all 12/1 all have good chances on current mark and ground. Spread low, middle and high across the track!

Wolves 4.10 - Starletina 11/10 from Sea The Stars.

Fairyhouse 5.00 - Have to have a bet, as is the national....She's Got Grit 33/1 in good form as is trainer. Good form lines too. Thunder and Roses 28/1 love Fairyhouse and Lots of Memories 16/1 has the Don Poli form

Bets 05/04/2015

Tom Pricewise Segal from the Racingpost has tipped 3 today:

3.20 Fairyhouse - Uranna 10/1, Rock on The Moor 6/1
4.20 Fairyhouse - The Tullow Tank 12/1

I'm doing well avoiding the jumps, but just one today.


Musselburgh 3.25 - Bahamian C 7/2 could be a better horse on soft. If so and has improved over winter good chance

Musselburgh 3.25 - Lady Kashaan has run well fresh before. 15/2 is a decent price. Handles soft and won here before

Plumpton 3.45 - Dormello Mo 5/1  Just blindly following the Nicholls bandwagon

Bets 04/04/2015

The Lingfield dangers of being too far held up or trapped on the the rail were on full show again yesterday. I'm certain if they reran the card a few times would have nailed 5 of the 6 races. Anyhow that's how Lingfield rolls.

Tom Pricewise Segal from the Racingpost has tipped:

2.35 Haydock - Net Work Rouge 12/1, Bell Weir 33/1

3.10 Haydock - Virak 6/1

3.45 Haydock - Tenor Nivernais 12/1

A few on the flat today:

2.15 Kempton - Outback Travellor 4/1 went up 12lbs for a 7 lenght with so maybe more juice 

2.50 Kempton - Lady Dutch 11/4 solid C&D winner last time

3.25 Kempton - Not convinced Made with Love is that well handicapped. A mark of 90 is steep, unless the horse has improved a stone or so will find this tough. Secret Art 10/1 looks much better value. Loves it here.

4.00 Kempton - Shagah is rated 8lb better than Very Special, but I know the Very Special 10/11 form is much better

4.35 Kempton - Peacock 8/11 looks solid on form

5.30 Cork - Hans Holbein 6/5

Bets 03/04/2015

Tom Pricewise Segal from the Racingpost has tipped 4 today at Lingfield:

1.40 Lingfield  - Lamar 11/2
2.10 Lingfield  -  Rivellino 9/1
3.15 Lingfield - Big Baz 12/1
4.45 Lingfield - Mymatechris 12/1

Blue is the colour to follow today at Lingfield.

Lingfield 1.40 - Lamar 4/1 agree with Segal

Lingfield 2.10 - Pretend 6/4 - Comfortable Listed winner here. Came from the back and flew passed Alben Start last time. As long as does not get trapped should bolt in again.

Lingfield 2.40 - Tempus Temporis 5/2 on paper wins. Beat AJ by 5 lenghts and Four Seasons only did by 1 3/4 lenghts which also puts TT ahead of Lexington Times. Emirates Skycargo looks biggest threat as was very impressive last two times out.

Lingfield 3.15 - Top rated, unlucky not to be a course winner, needs some luck in running, once rated 112, Sovereign Debt 3/1

Lingfield 3.45 - I've been backing Tryster 8/11 for a couple weeks now and the only way loses is traffic issues.

Lingfield 4.15 - Portamento 11/4 ought to win. Top rated, course winner and I clearly remember this one smashing Estidhkaar last year. Decent horse.

Lingfield 4.45 - Hurricane Higgins could have won last time by 3, 4 lengths easily but had awful traffic all the way from the bend so nothing ought to turn the tables from the previous race. But he used to be pretty hit and miss and every chance will bounce after a long lay off previously. I'm presuming this race is between the Goodolphin pair. It's hard a call but for me the formlines point to Hidden Gold 3/1. She is already a Listed winner here too and a bigger price so why not.


I rarely do well at Musselburgh, but sod it....

1.55 Musselburgh - Everything says back First Bombardment, but I say back Six Sense 2/1. FB has been heavily backed today after nearly winning last week. Johnston horses have been flying and I think he is going to have a decent season.

2.25 Musselburgh - Bayan 10/3 has a very good favourites chance. Elliot has a good record with handicaps here.

2.55 Musselburgh - Moonlightnavigator 12/1 looks well handicapped and is a course winner. Tadqeeq has been gelded and will no doubt be decent, but after watching Haggas' last few runners I will avoid. I don't know why Chadic 20/1 was ever rated 100, but either way is MJ, first time blinkers, won last time on seasonal debut and is on a mark of 81.....

3.30 Musselburgh - I remember landing Blaine in a big handicap at the York festival last year at a big price. I think I also backed Robot Boy who was 3rd, but had he have been drawn same side as Blaine reckon might have won, so I pick Robot Boy Evs. A lot of old boys in here who would do well to win

4.00 Musselburgh - Viva Verglas 7/1 has tumbled down the handicap and looked like back to form last time out. If improves slightly wins this. Noble Asset 7/1 a big improver from last year. Both are course winners

Bets 02/04/2015

Argh a 18/1 treble foiled by a long shot.

Tom Pricewise Segal from the Racingpost has tipped Together Forever 14/1 and Fadhayyil 25/1 for the 1000G.

Wolves 2.10 - Galileano 5/1 can go one better today with a better ride

Wolves 3.40 - Monsieur Chevalier 7/1 was winning far better races than his, looks in good nick.

Wolves 4.40 - Sugar Boy 11/10

Bets 01/04/2015

Tom Pricewise Segal has tipped up Consort 33/1 and Celestial Path 33/1 for 2kG

Kempton 5.45 - Le Rouquin 9/4 still looks ahead of handicapper

Kempton 6.15 - Got to fancy Jazzi Top 6/4 to win this time.

Kempton 7.15 - Aussie Andre 13/8 was flying home last time and beat a horse I fancied.
