It was the horse that came 2nd Rocket Rod that caught my eye, in my opinion it could easily have won (if they wanted it to) but can't for the life of me see a reason why they wouldn't want it to win so maybe jockey error or too far back it was in rear most of the race. Be interesting to see what it does on its next run.

"Kinky handicapping by Mark Crammer "was how I chose him.Tried looking for the invisible parts of his form that could have led to a jump up performance .Troubled start last out and rushed up to challenge for half the race .Sire is avg on both surfaces so I figured since he at least took hold of the ground last out it was possible the the (AW) was not the issue . Had good form in past on turf and thought today might be the day he put it all together on AWAlso the favourites didn't inspire alot of confidence , and race looked suspect .Anyway that's what I saw , hope this helps (Eq )

Newbury 1.20 The first of nine races covered by ITV today is the 3M 2F veterans handicap chase with nine horses going to post. The race has an open look about it and it maybe worth chancing last year’s winner Cyclop from the David Dennis stable. He’s two from three here and although he’s hard to fancy on his last three starts when he’s been well beaten he has dropped 9lb in the weights for that run of bad runs. He’s now 7lb lower than his win last year so is without doubt well handicapped and in the hope the track may spark him back to form is worth a speculative each way bet. CYCLOP 1 point each way @ 20/1 bet365 1/5 123 Kelso 1.42 A competitive class 2 handicap hurdle is next run over 2M 4F and 189 yards with nine horses lining up. Many can be given chances with the one that stands out to me being the Nicky Richards trained The Kalooki Kid in his first handicap. A winner of novice hurdles at Musselburgh and Newcastle this season he certainly wasn’t disgraced when fourth of five in the Grade 2 Rossington Main Novices’ Hurdle at Doncaster in January won by Nicky Henderson’s Jeriko Du Reponet. The second and third, Lump Sum and Fiercely Proud have since finished first and second in the Dovecote Novices’ Hurdle at Kempton to frank that form. The Kalooki Kid has been allotted 124 for this handicap which may be lenient and is worth backing here. THE KALOOKI KID 1 point each way @ 11/2 bet365 1/5th 123 Newbury 1.55 Just nine go to post for the BetVictor Greatwood Gold Cup Handicap Chase run over 2M 3F and 187 yards. Paul Nicholls has an excellent record in the race over the years and his representative Kandoo Kid, who may not have stayed 3M last time, has to be respected. I’ll take him on mind with Ryan Potter’s top weight Jetoile who brings some good pieces of form to the table. A good winner of the Old Roan Handicap Chase at Aintree on his re-appearance he wasn’t totally disgraced when fourth of 13 in a Premier Handicap won by GA Law at Cheltenham in January. Dropped a pound for that run he can give weight all round with the booking of one of the best conditional jockeys around Dylan Johnston a positive one with his 5lb claim a bonus. JETOILE 1 point each way @ 10/1 bet365 1/5th 123 Kelso 2.17 The Grade 2 bet365 Premier Novices’ Hurdle has attracted a dozen promising hurdlers with Nicky Henderson’s Jango Baie bringing the best form to the table with his Grade 1 victory at Aintree on Boxing Day. He does have to shoulder a 5lb penalty mind and a horse who was very impressive here last time out over a two furlong shorter trip is Anthony Charlton’s Alnilam. He coasted through the race and won easily by 13L. This is obviously tougher but his connections were taking him up afterwards and he can step forward again and take this with Bradley Harris despite the fact he can’t claim his 3lb here. ALNILAM 1 point each way @ 13/2 William Hill 1/5th 1234 Doncaster 2.35 Seven chasers go to post for this 2M 78 yard class 2 handicap chase which has an open look to it. Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero’s seven year old Homme Public appears to have as good a chance as any having won his first two starts over fences at Wetherby and Cheltenham last autumn. He’s not been seen since running a respectable 3 1/4L second to Persian Time at Ascot just before Christmas and remains with plenty of scope for the chasing game. Regular rider Henry Brooke rides and he looks sure to be thereabouts. HOMME PUBLIC 1 point win @ 3/1 William Hill Kelso 2.50 The day’s big betting handicap is the bet365 Moorebattle Handicap Hurdle run over the minimum trip of two miles. A maximum field of eighteen have declared for tis valuable £120,000 prize with southern raider Under Control the standout horse. Trained at Seven Barrows by Nicky Henderson she comes here having split two useful Willie Mullins mares in a Grade 2 mares hurdle at Doncaster in the shape of Ashroe Diamond and Gala Marceau. The handicapper could easily have reacted by raising her 7lb or more but only put her up one pound. She’s the favourite here and bids to win this before going to Cheltenham where she has three entries, the County Hurdle, Mares Hurdle and Champion Hurdle. She is the one horse in the race who is maybe capable of taking the field apart and is a strong fancy despite the numbers even if the Henderson stable could be in better form. UNDER CONTROL 1 point win @ 7/2 William Hill Doncaster 3.10 The 3M 84 yard listed mares novices’ hurdle is up next and has attracted a field of eleven. The best in at the weights is James Moffatt’s Lunar Discovery and it would be great to see him and his jockey Charlotte Jones take a race of this nature. They should run well but preference is for Tom Symonds’s Gaye Legacy who’s a consistent staying hurdler who’s stepping out of handicap company here. She’s hit the frame on all five of her starts this season with her latest effort coming at Newbury when winning a sixteen runner 3M handicap hurdle. Ben Poste is her regular rider and is on board the bay mare today. GAYE LEGACY 1 point each way @ 5/1 bet365 1/5th 123 Kelso 3.25 Just seven go to post for the 2M 7F 96 yard bet365 Premier Chase with Jonjo O’Neill’s Monbeg Genius teeing up for the Grand National for which he is one of the market leaders. Last seen when third in the Coral Gold Cup at Newbury back in December he looks sure to run well even if he does come third on official ratings behind Minella Drama who’s not firing at the moment and Aye Right who looks a big danger to the pick. Jonjo O’Neill Junior takes the ride. MONBEG GENIUS 1 point win @ 7/4 bet365 Doncaster 3.40 A good sized field of thirteen face the judge for the Grimthorpe Handicap Chase run over 3M 2F and 1 yard. Richard Hobson’s Some Scope looks the one to beat but he won’t enjoy slowish ground and is worth taking on for that reason alone. One horse who has a good record here which reads 1U2 is Nigel Twiston-Davies’s Undersupervision who was just touched off in this very race a year ago by Moroder. He’s now 2lb higher and we also have to take a chance that he’s in the same form as last year as he’s pulled up on three of his four starts since although he did show up well when third in a amateur jockeys handicap chase at Cheltenham in November. He’s not the most genuine of horses but has ability and is worth chancing each way. UNDERSUPERVISION 1 point each way @ 6/1 bet365 1/5th 123

Kelso 1450 Cracking Rhapsody 16/1 bet365

Newbury passed its second inspection for Saturday's Premier racing fixture

Had a bit of it to 👍

505 kemp Superb force. 8.6 9/4 Morning light 8.1 4.6 Superb force should take a lot of beating here these two are a fair bit clear ...I'll try 8pt win ...with a 2pt saver on morning to return stakes if he gets beat

Fair play but I have no intention of opening another online account even if it's offering Cheltenham deals , I'll just stick to my 10p each way lucky 15 on each of the 4 days , i think the year when Annie Power fell at the last was the last time over all 4 days i actually made a profit at the festival despite around 95% of people who say they win every year but thanks for the info nonetheless & good luck .

1 winning treble - today +20.97 month +74.97

I've just had a look and the main thing I noticed was the horse in red (who I now know to be Armoured, the favourite) travelling really strongly whilst all around were seemingly flat out, then getting a bit boxed in and finishing quite well for 3rd. To be fair though I was looking for rabbits running across the track ........... 😉

If I miss any live races that I have bets in, I log into Sporting Life to watch replays. They show the replay 30 minutes after the live race.

Not many runners in this and no extra places so I will stick to trying to find the winner Horses that failed to complete last time have a record of 0 from 11. This removes 4 horses. Horses that came 1st last time have 1 win from 21 with a loss of 12 points. This removes 1 more. The remainder have a record of 7 from 52 with 16 points. No horse has won after a lay off of more than 70 days ago or less than 8 days ago. This removes 2 more. Claiming jockeys have a record of 0 from 9. This finally leaves BILL BAXTER, available at 13/2 with WH.

3 winning doubles - today + 54.00

A cracking start to the month with 50/1 Newcastle winner picked by both @Bill11 and @Jediknight

Scored, even if from close range and only once, so a 14/1 winner. This must be the most profitable thread ever to have had a 100% losing record! (Joins the list of previous "1 short" winners backed at 9/1, 11/1 and 20/1.)

Virgin bet are doing the same - I think they were first to introduce it?

I fancy Ross Smith's chances in this one... he should win comfortably if (!) he is in that form that might make him a contender. Poor Dobey though... And I hope De Decker can win again.

Well done Bill superb selection.

Got to be happy enough with the draw for Noppie? Dobey, Rock and Smith all could have had it easier for me 😅

Well it looked like it was going to be even worse tonight. i thought they'd all go at one point. Blimey, MVG out, Price out.

Alexander Bublik (+1.5 sets) to beat Ugo Humbert at 1.63 with Unibet Well done Humbert for the week so far, but Bublik hasn't been fooling around that much either, and there are bound to be some nerves here, which should favor Bublik a bit I'd say. Big serves don't usually bother him that much, and he can more than match Humbert off the ground.

Great start by the top two. I can't help wondering how Retirement Beckons was chosen though. "Retirement Beckons Nine-time winner on turf but this year's AW form has been very disappointing." This was the RP comment. Fascinating stuff. It's almost as if some sneaky bugger laid turf around the course between 8 and 8.30 pm tonight

Anhelina Kalinina to beat Diane Parry at 1.62 with William Hill I've always seen Parry as a somewhat overrated player, and Kalinina seems to be on the up right now, having beaten two tricky opponents in Bejlek and Osorio. The conditions seem to be a good fit for her, and Parry shouldn't be able to deal with her heavier shots.
