Running profit for May 25 pts - profit for April was 22.5 pts

It would be nice to get the profit for May over 30pts and I have three days to try. Dropped two points yesterday but Ocean Legend was not disgraced at 25/1 and Lady Mango got a bit behind with the poor draw.

Some days selections just jump off the page and other they have to be eked out and these tend to be less successful I have found. It seems to be one of those days today unfortunately. But :-

4.00 Chepstow SAINGLEND 2 pts win

Ex jumpers contest this race and by far the best of them is Sainglend with a rating of 127 over hurdles and just 58 on the flat. As a guide you can deduct 50 lbs from a jump rating to give an indication of flat potential so it may be that 58 is lenient. The last run over hurdles at Aintree was a very good class three event.

Tek Kwon Do did well last time behind Alfraamsey which has won again since and Spinning Waters goes well here despite a poor effort over hurdles last time. These are the two to worry about but I would expect Spencer to make this a stamina test and grind out a win. A price of 2/1 is about right.


To be frank I can't really find much else today. I came close to putting up Aquilifer in the 3.20 at Lingfield as a number of these are better at shorter trips but I decided to pass - watch this win now !

Back tomorrow
