In the 13.50 at Catterick we have another front running gelding who’s looking ideal as a trading proposition in the form of Fieldgunner Kirkup. He’s had a great summer notching up 2 wins in his last 3 races & being available to trade in each of his last 6 outings. He was hit by a hefty hike in the weights last time out following his 2 victories but was still last off the bridle as he relishes the softer conditions underfoot at this time of the year. He did weaken in the final furlong but his strong traveling style at the head of the pack meant that he still traded as low as 2.0 in the run.
So he’s proved that he can handle the extra weight on his back and with regular jockey Graham Gibbons aboard again today I’m hoping that if he’s again last off the bridle his price should drop enough to get us a trade.
Fieldgunner Kirkup can be backed for 2 points now at 9.0 at the books* (skybet) and at 9.4 on betfair, I would personally wait at least until a BOG bookie goes 9.0 before jumping in. If you want 30% profit then lay off 2.6 points at 6.6 or if you want 50% profit then lay off 3.05 points at 5.7.
*This is the type to see a drift close to the off so ensure you’re using a Best Odds Guaranteed Bookmaker.
Best of luck

Stooze - your posts are anything but poor - i think you'll always get people looking for 100% correct selections. Personally i think your selections & analysis are top notch (i can accept that no-one is going to be correct all the time) and over the long term I think this is one of the best ways to profit on the nags - keep up the good work son.
Thanks Sniper, I appreciate the comments & support of the blog.
For those who have rated this post poorly, would you like me not to put up selections that are likely to drift before the off?
I've put up 3 selections today at 8.0, 9.0 (and advised drifting) and 6.5. The 8.0 came 1st, the 9.0 drifted to 15.0 SP & traded to 11.0 and finally the 6.5 traded to 2.08.
Do you really think that's poor?
