NEWTON ABBOT
WIN

I'm putting up Albert Einstein in the 3:10 at Newbury. A bit short, but it's a weak race, and I can't see anything beating him. Fingers crossed.

Good luck FP. I'm going to take a swing at one in the Lockage Stakes. I thought Jonquil was quite impressive beating the useful yardstick Holloway Boy (who I backed) LTO. His record in this country at the 1 Mile trip reads 11 and I think there's more to come from him at this trip this season. The stable are in red hot form, he has course form and he enjoys fast going. At a double figure price I have to play.

Hi Whippin,I see Tex is out again in 5.10 Newmarket,liked Kalpana thought a bit short to put up,most prob will put up Moonhall Lass 8.15 Doncaster realised it is also a bit short.
Others Castan 3.37 Thirsk e/w,Rajapour 4.12 Thirsk.
Watch out for Paulbady doubt if he will post,gl

Yes, he's been well found in the market today, Tangle. I noticed you had 2 winners and 2nd from your 3 suggestions last week. I'll ask you for one if Pauly is a no show again. Yeah, I looked at her too and I think Lost Boys has a huge chance today although the price is tight enough

The 4.20 Newbury  looks a cracking betting race. There's a couple in there at double figure prices that I'll be playing

2.45 banger dantes inferno. which is where i belong

Jonquil's half sister just won very nicely yon her debut at Newmarket. Tons to come from her!

Jonquil a huge drifter before the off and ran accordingly

Whippin will put up Castan 3.37 Thirsk e /w for Paulybad if not post by 2.55

Assuming no show from paulybad, I'll take him off the team sheet and you can play wildcards as and when.

Thanks Tangle. OK UD that's fine

Yours is noner now Tangle. But Typeface looks solid in the context of this field of AW horses. Can we avoid nul points for this round? Of course, with hindsight I should have put my best bet of the day up in the comp!

Whippin,Typeface from that draw was never going to win,anyway we can only go upwards from here

CREST OF STARS
WARWICK
16:00   WIN

Lion of Mali – 3:30 Haydock

10point win

Would have won easier LTO if it had found an opening sooner.

But what do I know

Nogo’s Dream 5.27 Goodwood
Going for a longer priced horse,a pity that it was 18/ and now 12/1

I'm going to put up handicap debutant Princling in the 2:20 at Haydock. I think this one could be quite good. On another note, unless the Racing Post revert thier website to normal, I am seriously giving the game up. I will, however, honour this competition to its conclusion. Fingers crossed.

FatPunt,yes the Racing Post have thrown a spanner in the works and the site is now more difficult to navigate and they have highlighted useless info and put all the relevant info in small print ,gl with your selection.

Inis Mor (E/W) 3-10 Good

I'm in the same boat as FP in that I'm not able to study the form on the 'improved' RP to the level required for me to be confident in placing bets. I can only use my notebook horses and watching replays to guide me. So I'll put Coppull up seeing as I believe he won with a fair bit in hand LTO even though the winning margin was short. Division was slow away that day so will be a big danger if getting away on terms. We probably need something at a double figure price so let's try and land one with the Wildcard. Stick your best outsiders up lads and I'll pick one out of your shortlist

Hi Whippin my second choice for the day is Coppull,Liked Yes I Am Mali 13.30 York,ran second.
Will look for a long priced horse

Will the meeting be called off? I doubt it but I guess there will be a lengthy delay at Haydock

3.55 cart puddlesinthepark 10 points

Haydock under inspection,most probably will be cancelled
Like Dovey Moon  6.15 Salisbury only 15/2 at moment,so not really a long priced.

I thought St Hilda at Goodwood now she's being switched to the turf. Too short for the wildcard though

There looks to be tons of pace on in the 4.20 at Goodwood so the race should set up nicely for course winner Dancingwithmyself. She probably needs to drop a few pounds but I can see her going close

Whipping Undecided says u can replace 2.20 Haydock,think FatPunt had one up for 2.20

Go to put up Dovey Moon 6.15 for wildcard

OK mate. Although I think another team has put that one up.

UD has allowed another hour. So I'll take another look but I'll go with Dancingwithmyself if I can't find one at a bigger price

Oh and now Coppull is a noner! FFS!

Yes just to confirm, you can replace FatPunt's selection in the 2.20, please post by 4pm and I'll take whoever's post is first, ie. FatPunt himself or your wildcard.

Coppull nr, just announced.

If FP doesn't sign in I'm going with Akabusi at Windsor. They rode him more patiently LTO and this looks the key to him. The Richard Hughes trained Marengo Storm could turn out to be much the best of these but switching to the Turf for the first time, I'll go with my selection at the prices

Nice winner Penzance.

Great stuff Tangle!

Thanks Tom for not making any effort to ride out for a place (had a place saver). All in all it's been a very frustrating week, what with the Racing Post website 'improvements'

A rare W for the week, I got paid out on my place bet

True Love – 4:30 Curragh


10 point Win


Round 7 - 24 May to 6 Jun

I'm going in early this week with Yazin in the 6:42 at Sandown on Thursday night. I think this lad could be high on the list of top milers come the end of the season. It's a cracking card tomorrow night, but I'm going to miss most of it due to a late medical appointment. Fingers crossed.

Typeface 5.00 Yarmouth,poor draw when fav last outing.

Sorry team, that was too bad to be true.

Miami Matrix (E/W) - 3.30 Chester.
Goes well around here,2 of his 3 Wins have come here albeit @ 1M.
7Fs today (not that much difference) but the other Win did came over
this trip in a Mdn @ Wolves & did run well over CD LTO on his
seasonal reappearance which was his 1ST run for trainer Morris.
Should be thereabouts in this with luck in running.

The Shrewdies

Hope I haven't got the posting date wrong - put down to age and heat.

glenfinnan 4.0 car 10 points

happysandwich, I'm afraid you already picked for this week, go again from tomorrow

unless of-course it's as a wildcard pick? I'll wait for confirmation.

Good luck today. I have one from my notebook at a double price today. Fouette in the 4.20 Carlise. She's been running in listed races and she has found them a touch too hot but she definitely has scope off her mark of 89 back in a handicap. She ran much better than her finishing position LTO and the handicapper has been rather kind and dropped her 2lb. Rosa Ryan booked up is a huge positive too. Take the fav out of the race and its a very open looking race.

For the wildcard I was thinking Maple in the last at Beverley. The Favourite is no good thing to repeat her win LTO and my selection has been running with credit on the Flat and over the jumps of a late and a repeat of his run here 2 runs back will see him go close. If anyone has one at a bigger price I'd be happy to use it

Nice one busy! Non of this EW nonsense for you I see. Well done, Sir!

Thanks Undecided,


I’ll make another selection from tomorrow onwards.

Wd Busy,keeping us in the hunt

bout pheckin time n all. couldnt tip a midget outta bed recently. shocking

i know this will chime with everyone else but whenever you have a list of possibles, you always post the one that is tailed and the others all win at 10000/1

passed up a 66/1 winner at perth last week and was a gnats todger away from putting it up, although i did back it. nice bit of afters there

Yes busy it does. I was considering putting up Justcallmepete again after putting him up previously.  I also should have went with Happy's selection for the wildcard. Hindsight and all that! I'll let him or yourself use the wildcard this week

Just put this up, going for the hat trick (the horse not me) - fingers crossed.

Military Leader – 8:15 Newcastle

WARWICK 19:30

This week I'm going to put up my Oaks fancy, Cameo. I've been sweet on her for a couple of weeks, but it looks like the value has gone. You can still get some 8/1, so I'm going to do her EW. Fingers crossed.

I like her too FP. She looks a different animal as a 3yo and moving up in trip was always going to bring about improvement.

Bay Of Brilliance (E/W) - 4.00 Epsom
Tx
   GL ALL

We probably need to win this round to have any Chance of winning the comp. So no pressure lads

I backed Thundering Run & Cameo in yesterday's Oaks, I just couldn't have the top 2 at any price. So with hindsight I should have put her up. If anyone wants to put one up in the Derby so we can fire 2 bullets at the race, that's fine. I don't have a strong opinion on the race myself.

I've gone for Sparks Fly in the next at Epsom. That was an excellent comeback run at Chester LTO and it looks as if that race was just a tee up for this one (3rd in this last year but was unlucky in running) I think a reproduction of her last race gets her placed at least but any sort of improvement from it and she should win, especially with the going softening up all the time

A pleasing result!

Wd Whippin,they most probably will run down the far side rail in the next races.

5.40 hex out on her own, to follow on from sparks fly   

Yes, now the going is soft all over, maybe the bias against near rail won't be as pronounced?

Yeah, that one would be an appropriate winner Busy

Going for Brazen Idol 8.10 Lingfield,like jockey Cosgrave
Had a shout for Zuburu 2.50 Musselburgh,but Modern Times could do him

GL Tangle
Busy do you have another (winning) selection for us? You deserve to use the wildcard after that cracking winner in R1

Only had this WH account for a week

Had Ten Bob Tony in the first too.....it's officially my best day's punting and I've had some good one's down the years!

I had to throw one up quickly for the wildcard but he likes Epsom and handles cut so he's got a squeak

Would have been able to retire if Cankoura had got up last night...Would I even want to though? Great game!

Well done lads. Looks like we've done enough to pinch this round. We're probably only playing for second place in the comp but good luck next week

I really fancy Point Of Contact in the 4:50 at York. The value has gone, but I'm still going in. The drop in class and the booking of Ryan Moore caught my eye, and I expect a bold showing. Fingers crossed.

Raammee (Win)
Went off quite short LTO (11/8) over C&D where  he travelled quite well up with the pace
until late on where fitness may have caught him out.Off 95 again here & with only 3 previous
runs there should be more to come.Will be fitter today so should go very close in this.

Good Afternoon all.
Wd to Happy who put us on the scoreboard.
Difficult day again,will most probably put up Thapa VC,Bath 5.02 ridden by Jack Callan who they say is a rising star.
Others I like Chester 1.35 Bolo Neighs,2.10 Comic Hero and 4.00 Ruby’s Profit

Gl

Well done Happy! Good luck with your bets today lads. I'll be at Ascot for the first 3 days next week (best meeting anywhere in the world...even better than the Cheltenham Festival )
So I'll stick a selection up for next week a bit later. Today looks very tricky and TOFTL are 1.01 to win the comp. So I'll go for one of the 3 big priced selections I'm backing today

2.55 hex cross of redmoor

I'm going for one of the outsiders in the 5.07 Sandown. Macari needed his seasonal debut run and probably did too much out in front anyway. He left that run behind last time out running second to a an improving Sir Mark Prescott stayer who'll turn out much better than a class 4 handicapper by the end of the season. The last time Macari ran over C/D resulted in a win and he's only 2lbs higher than for last his win at Newbury. There's a fair bit of pace on here so you'll need to stay the trip well, something he'll do but which some of the others aren't guaranteed to do. 

A few others I like at fair prices. Copper Knight loves Chester and the old boy hasn't lost any of his pace, but his draw is off putting today. If he can break quickly and get a prominent position, he'll definitely out run his odds though.
And I've split a point between 2 in the 3.23 Chester Rastnet & Sea Founder. Both look like they can win nice races this season so I'm expecting both to run very well here

Norfolk Blue 3.30 Doncaster,final selection in comp let’s hope for some luck

A few thoughts on Royal Ascot. I think you might see something a bit special from Bow Echo tomorrow, I honestly don't think we've seen the best of him yet. Although he's a bit too short for me to back. And even though Trawlerman hasn't had a recent run, I still expect him to serve it up to the favourite in the big one. When Venetian Sun won at Haydock last time out, she made me think of that strong travelling, classy sprinter Airwave. I will definitely use her in F/C & T/C with Coppull and probably Division. I do think Coppull won with a fair bit to spare at Ascot LTO so I'll probably put him up in the comp. The Royal Hunt Cup looks as competitive as ever but I can see Holloway Boy running a big one over a course he likes and on his preferred fast going. You'd ideally want a high draw in this race but interestingly, stall 4 has produced 2 winners in the last 10 running's of it. And Ebt's Guard who has the perfect draw, was unlucky (couldn't get a clear run at a vital time) in this race last year and has been working his way back into form

Thanks for taking part in the comp guys and I hope you all make a good few quid at Ascot this week.

His turn of foot should seal it, but what do I know?

I've really enjoyed this year's Royal meeting despite finding only one winner thus far, and that was Alobayyah in the Kensington Palace Stakes on Wednesday. She did well to win under the circumstances, and I think she still has a little bit more scope. As for today, I'm taking a chance on a shortie in the Jersey. Saber Strike looks like a real talent in the making. He's got a bit of an awkward draw in 9, but hopefully, he should have enough class to overcome it. Fingers crossed.

Same here FP. Although I would have enjoyed it more if I didn't get my usual run of 2nd places! Del Maro and Trawlerman both just getting touched wasn't fun!
Good luck with your selection today FP and to the rest of the guys still to go. It looks like the leaders are choking and there's a possibility they could finish bottom. A winning round would win us the comp. The wildcard could prove crucial today so can you all give me a suggestion for it and I'll look at the table and the price we'd need to win the round

Hi Whippin,we have done well this year in the competition,unfortunately not much from me lately.my suggestion for the wildcard is in 5.00 Ascot Dubia Bling,time for Oisin to step up,got Binhareer to beat.gl

3.05 ascot best secret 10 points

Are you around today Dixi?

I'll take a look at that one Tangle. Thanks for all your efforts during the comp, mate

You will need an out and out stayer in the last race on the card and the one who looks to have limitless stamina is the Chester cup winner a Piece of Heaven. This guy looks an out and out galloper and if DBM kicks for home quite early, he could completely outstay this field
