| Mar 13th Cheltenham |
2.00 Amaretto Rose is a class animal and a solid fav. here, Hide The Evidence is best of the Irish, De Soto has place potential. 2.35 There are question marks about all the front three in the betting here. Lennon is the best horse in Howard Johnson's yard and is currently 20/1 on Betfair. That has to be value. 3.15 Never will you get better value than the 2/1 about Detroit City in the Champion Hurdle. He is home and hosed. 4.00 Little Brick is going to be hard pressed to give weight all round here, Heltornic is value at 12/1+ she is on the top of her game at the moment. |
all beaten |
| Mar 13th Sedgefield |
3.30 Lay Miss Pross, ( up to 5/2) she needs more testing conditions than this. | 1st 2/1 |
| Mar 12th Taunton |
5.10 Maguire is only very moderate but he is better than he has shown so far over hurdles. His mark continues to fall and one day things will click and he will pop up in one of these poor hurdles. Today is as good a day as any with this being such a weak event. Back 12/1+ | 11/1 PU lame |
| Mar 9th Ayr |
4.45 Kinburn will love these conditions, he is much improved than when last seen over hurdles and all is in his favour here. Back 1/1+ | pu 8/11 lame |
| Mar 3rd Kelso |
5.35 Lay Great Approach, ground is softer than ideal and this tripis on the short side for him, plus the race he won at Catterick was no great shakes. | 2nd 4/1F |
| Mar 2nd Wolverhampton |
3.50 Fractured Foxy won a decent race when last she tackled this course and distance with the 3rd and 4th that day having gone up 23lb between them since. The selection is howeve only up 2lb. Back 5/2+ | 2nd 6/1 |
| Feb 24th Kempton | 3.10 Lucifer Bleu will be a warm order here being 21lb well in on official figures. However he has a number of negatives to over come. He is not a certain stayer at 3m, and is also going to encounter softer ground here than is ideal for him. Soft round here is much slower than soft around Wincanton. He is also up in class significantly and will not have his own way up front. Lay up to 9/4 | 4th 15/8F |
| Feb 24th Lingfield | 2.30 Ajigolo will improve for the step up to 7f and is expected to run a big race here. Back 6/1+ | 11th 12/1 |
| Feb 22nd Southwell | 4.55 Namroud takes a drop in class here after racing well from out of the handicap in a muddling event last time. He lost his way in the summer on the flat after being over tried but a spell hurdling has bucked his ideas up. He is expected to collect here. | 4th 3/1 |
| Feb 20th Taunton | 3.10 Albarino looks value here, he jumped well when last seen and can make a bold show here. Back 10/1+ 4.40 Gunship has a lot more on his plate here than last time. Lay up to 3/1 |
4th 16/1 UR 2/1F |
| Feb 18th Market Rasen | 4.10 Its Bertie loves soft ground and stays well, this is much easier than his last two assignments over inadequate trips.. Back 9/4+ | PU 9/4F |
| Feb 18th Fontwell |
4.30 South O'The Border has it all to do off top weight here on this testing ground, Lay upto 11/4 | 4th 15/8JF |
| Feb 18th Towcester | 3.20 Money Line is a very moderate sort. At 11/4 he is a Lay. | 1st 6/1 |
| Feb 17th Haydock |
Some very trappy events here, 3.45 Joaaci is not the most reliable of types and is on the borderline of being a lay at 6/4 but there is only really The Sawyer running for you so the logic is probably to back The Sawyer at 3/1. It is a iffy race and best passed over. 4.55 Calatagan is value at 3/1, he stays all day and the small field will suit his front running style. |
2nd 6/1 |
| Feb 17th Lingfield | 1.35 Barney McGrew is value at 6/4 | 2nd 8/11F |
| Feb 17th Uttoxeter | 1.40 Mr Strachan has a big home reputation and connections are convinced he needs bottomless ground despite his only fwin being on firm. He is expected to win this. Back at 7/4+ | 1st 13/8F |
| Feb 15th Kelso | 3.10
Numero Un De Solzen is a promising type but he is not the fastest and
this track is plenty sharp enough, also the 2m6f is a bit shorter than
ideal. At 2/1 he is a lay. Whereareyounow is strong value at 10/1. 4.45 Bica will win this, and thereby qualify for the Cheltenham Foxhunters where if the ground stays soft he's expected to run a big race. At 1/2 he is not at a price we would recommend today. |
Whereareyounow 1st 9/1 Numero Un De Solzen 3rd 2/1F (This advice was not proofed to Racing-Index - Sadly!) Bice 1st 4/7F |
| Feb 13th Folkestone |
3.10
Not the most interesting of days racing today, with only two short
priced favourites to recommend. Warnes Way is a big positive here and
worth a wager at 1/1. |
5th 10/11F |
| Feb 13th Southwell | 3.50
Again a short price selection here in Red Cape, his form is rock
solid and he seems improved for being geld. Jane Chapple-Hyam's is a
stable on the up and even at 1/1 this is worth a wager. |
4th 1/1F |
| Feb 10th Newbury |
3.15 Very competitive as you would expect. Acambo is a real class animal and he can go close here, however, Victram is the the value at 14/1 EW as wherever Acambo is Victram will be close by. | 6th 16/1 |
| Feb 10th Lingfield |
3.05 Woodnook has a lot going for her here, Back 5/2+ | 1st 9/4>7/4F |
| Feb 10th Wolverhampton | 9.30 Desert Leader is value in this grade at about the 6/1 mark | 4th 14/1 |
| Feb 9th Kempton |
3.40 This
is much the toughest assignment for Milan Deux Mille so far. And he's
had plenty of racing in the last month. Both Laskari and Mambo Des
Mottes are solid opposition here, preference between the pair is for
Laskari but may be safer to lay Milan at 11/8 - 4.15 Bauhaus is not the most regular visitor to the racecourse but he does still retain ability as he showed staying on well on his reappearance, will come on for that and is expected to run a big race today. Back EW 14/1+ |
1st 1/1F Unp 12/1 |
| Feb 8th Taunton |
4.20 Doubts about the jumping of the key horses here. Noble Billy was a solid, if one paced hurdler, he will have been well schooled and at around the 6/1 mark is worth a small wager. | 4th 10/3 |
| Feb 8th Southwell | 4.00 Hall Of Fame is value at 6/4. | 3rd 13/8F |
| Feb 5th Wolverhampton | 3.50 Canadian Danehill is at the top of his game at the moment and is worth an interest at 11/8+ 4.20 Josh You Are has a live chance, and as he's from the Don Cantillon stable he catches the eye even more. Back 5/2+ |
1st 4/7F 4th 1/1F |
| Feb 3rd Stratford |
3.40 Dhehdaah has a lot going for him today, Back EW 10/1+ |
4th 10/1 |
| Feb 3rd Wetherby | The ground here will be better than the advertised g/s, 1.50 Allistathebarrista needs deep mud, Lay 2/1 3.00 Arctic Echo appreciates plenty of cut in the ground, the going could well be too sharp for him today. Lay 2/1 3.30 Omni Cosmo Touch can make his experience pay here on better ground than he's had of late. Back 10/1+ 4.05 Bica is a very decent sort who is thought a lot of. He is up to Cheltenham Foxhunter class and this will be a good stepping stone in that direction. Back at 7/4+ |
8th 11/10F 4th 9/4F PU 12/1 1st 7/4>6/5F |
| Feb 2nd Catterick |
2.25 Competitive
low grade fare here, Milan deux Mille is well up in the weights
here but is at the top of his game at the moment. Mr
Bigglesworth however is a nice sort with a good yard, at 20/1 he is
value for a small wager. 3.00 Sir Boreas Hawk, lively prospect for the future this one, big home reputation and everything going for him to day, expect him to start around even money here. At 6/4 he's there to back |
9th 18/1>10/1 1st 9/4 |
| Feb 2nd Wolverhampton | 4.55 A hot maiden for the track. Metternich is a nice sort but Glory Days is also fancied here, at 3/1 she is worth a small wager against the favourite. | 4th 9/2 |
| Feb 1st Wincanton |
1.40 Looks a
match between the front two in the betting, Lamanver Homerun will
improve for the step up in trip, and is value at 5/2 against the
favourite who was disappointing last time. 2.10 Parkinson is a horse that can not be trusted, he has ability but he always gives layers hope. He's 11lb well in here and the opposition isn't up to much, so wisest to swerve laying him here unless he drops below the 5/4 mark 4.40 interesting Hunters race here, a little bit on Back Nine would not go amiss, hes fit and capable of springing a surprise here. |
5th 4/1 UR 5/2F 2nd 14/1 |
| Feb 1st Towcester | 2.30 Hot Zone has it all to do here, he is very one paced, he's a lay at 2/1 or under 3.00 Would You Believe is an honest sort, which is more than can be said for the rest of these |
2nd 6/5F 2nd 10/3F |
| Feb 1st Southwell | 1.20 Count Cougar will be popular here but he's no good thing back to 5f for the hatrick, lay at 11/10 if you can. | 2nd 5/6F |
