Princess Shabnam 8 00Sth 1/40th of a pt ew 33/1 P/L +180.40

Just a heads up Bet365 have BOG some of their races for tomorrow already.

Just the ten races on terrestrial TV today and here's my thoughts - Cheltenham 1.10 The first of five races from the ITV team at Cheltenham today is the 2M 4F novices’ handicap chase in which we have a field of thirteen going to post. The Irish (surprise, surprise!) have a good record at this meeting and it’s one of their five in Marv Michael who appeals most. Henry De Bromhead’s six-year-old made a winning fencing debut at Kilbeggan in September when making all, jumping well to come home 7L to the good. An initial mark of 128 looks workable. Keep an eye on the two chasing debutants Lord Of Thunder from the Tizzard stable and Doughmore Bay from the in form Emma Lavelle stable. MARV MICHAEL 1 point each way @ 6-1 William Hill 1/5th 1234 1.30 Doncaster The opener at Doncaster is a listed race for two-year-olds to be run over 6F and eight will run on soft ground. There’s plenty of soft ground form on offer and a case can be made for most but the one that catches my eye is the Clive Cox trained Fast Track Harry who made a winning racecourse debut at Newbury in the mud 36 days ago. Nibbled at in the market going off at 9/1 he got the better of the William Haggas newcomer Almeraq by just under a length and that form has been franked since by that one running out a easy winner at Yarmouth when very well backed since. The chestnut son of Harry Angel will need to step up again but has plenty of scope for improvement and looks a good each way bet. FAST TRACK HARRY 1 point each way @ 13/2 bet365 1/5th 123 Cheltenham 1.45 Just five have declared for this class 2 novice hurdle run over 3M with Irish trainers having four of the field. John C McConnell’s five-year-old Intense Approach ran a fine second to Flying Fortune in the Persian War Novices’ Hurdle at Chepstow earlier this month and this consistent five-year-old look the one they all have to beat under Harry Cobden. Gavin Cromwell’s Millforce is a lightly raced improver who may chase him home for a one-two for the Irish. INTENSE APPROACH 1 point win @ 5/2 BetVictor Doncaster 2.05 A big field of seventeen sprinters have declared for this class 2 5F handicap. There’s plenty of soft ground form on offer and the best value may well lie with last year’s winner Aberama Gold who is 11lb lower than when winning 12 months ago. It can’t be soft enough for the seven-year-old who’s shown more than enough in his recent efforts to suggest that his turn may well soon. ABERAMA GOLD 1 point each way @ 7/1 bet365 1/5th 12345 Cheltenham 2.20 A decent sized field of fourteen go to post for this 3M 1F class 2 handicap chase. Nigel Twiston-Davies has his string in great shape at present and it’s his runner Broadway Boy that catches the eye. We haven’t seen him since disappointing at Aintree but his form figures here read 1112 and he won first time out last season. He appears to have plenty in his favour and this second season chaser can take this en route to bigger targets later in the season under Sam Twiston-Davies. Top weight Doses He Know represents the very much in form Kim Bailey stable and has had his wind done since we last saw him. He’s worth a close look in the market. BROADWAY BOY 1 point win @ 7/2 William Hill Doncaster 2.40 The feature race of the day is the final Group one two-year-old race in the UK for the season in the one mile William Hill Futurity Trophy. The Godolphin runner Anno Domini and the Gosden’s Detain are both promising sorts who have looked smart in winning a brace each but both have yet to encounter soft ground (in the case of the latter he’s only raced on the all-weather). The confident pick has to be the James Owen trained Wimbledon Hawkeye who is proven on soft and has the best form in the race. He followed up an excellent second in the Acomb Stakes at York to current Derby favourite Lion In Winter with a win from the re-opposing Royal Playright in the Royal Lodge on soft ground. I do believe if he was trained by a ‘sexier’ trainer he would be considerably shorter than his current quote of 7/2. WIMBLEDON HAWKEYE 2 points win @ 7/2 bet365 Cheltenham 2.55 The 3M Pertemps Network Handicap Hurdler Qualifier has attracted thirteen staying hurdlers and has a wide open look about it. It may pay to take a chance on the Gary and Josh Moore trained top weight Botox Has who has a touch of class about him and although not seen for 182 days has a very good record fresh which reads 11F21 with the 2 coming in this very race two years ago. Caoilin Quinn’s 3lb claim will help in reducing his weight and he can run well each way. Irish raider The Wallpark is on a four timer for Gordon Elliott and looks the biggest threat. BOTOX HAS 1 point each way @ 10/1 bet365 1/5th 1234 Newbury 3.10 The ground is likely to be very testing for the latest renewal of the 7F BetVictor Horris Hill Stakes for two-year-olds with the going stick reading as low as I’ve known at 3.0 earlier in the week. William Haggas’s Yaroogh will have no problems with conditions as he ran out a comfortable 3 1/2L winner on heavy ground at Chantilly last time out in heavy ground. The other horse at the head of the market Benevento has only raced on good ground so is overlooked for that reason. I feel we may get both of the front ones beaten here and the selection is Hugo Palmer’s Make You Smile. He impressed on his racecourse debut when running out a 2 3/4L winner of a novice stakes contest over course and distance 35 days ago on heavy ground and that form has already been boosted by the third winning by 6 1/2L since. He looks good each way value under Harry Davies. MAKE YOU SMILE 1 point each way @ 13/2 William Hill 1/5th 123 Cheltenham 3.30 The 2M 87 yard (Old) Masterson Holdings Hurdle has attracted eight runners and looks set to go to Ireland with Gavin Cromwell’s Bottler’secret who despite having to shoulder a 8lb penalty can outclass these. A dual winner on the level he took well to hurdling last season when winning Grade 3 and Grade 2 events at Naas and Fairyhouse and finished the season with a good 1 1/2L second in the Grade 1 Ballymore Champion Four Year Old Hurdle at Punchestown from the top class filly Kargese who had finished runner up at Cheltenham and Aintree in the top four-year-old contests. Back in fifth (beaten 14 1/2L) at Punchestown was Harry Derham’s Givemefive and although 5lb better off looks held. Bottler’secret is a confident selection. BOTTLER’SECRET 1 point win @ Evens bet365 Newbury 3.45 Just six run in this 1M 4F Group 3 BetVictor St Simon Stakes. Al Aasy was given a strange ride last time out at Ascot with jockey Cieran Fallon letting his rivals get away from him before putting the seven-year-old into the race far too late with the stewards enquiring into his ride. He still finished ahead of two of his rivals today in Salt Bay and Gods Window and he can bounce back to winning ways at a track where his form figures are 114121. John & Thady Gosden’s three-year-old Danielle will relish the conditions and looks the one to chase him home although on official rating she does have 11lb to find. AL AASY 1 Pont win @ 5/4 bet365

Seven races from ITV today and here's my thoughts - Cheltenham 1.50 Just five line up for this class 2 2M novices’ chase, the first race of the new season at Cheltenham for the ITV cameras. Four of the five are carrying penalties with the one exception being Gavin Cromwell’s Path d’Oroux. He’s raced in and shown good form in decent handicap company but is nought from ten over fences hence he retains his novice status. On official ratings he’s 16lb and more superior to his four rivals and should be winning this all be it at skinny enough odds. PATH d’OROUX 1 point win @ 6/4 BetVictor Doncaster 2.08 An eight runner fillies maiden is one of three races covered at the Yorkshire track by the ITV crew and although we have two nicely bred newcomers in the shape of the Gosden’s Queen Of Thieves who is a full sister to Cracksman and the William Haggas trained Wonder Star who cost 200,000 guineas as a yearling you can’t beat experience, especially on the likely testing ground so the pick is the David Menuisier trained Janey Mackers who was strong in the market on her racecourse debut when a 1 1/2L third in a Yarmouth maiden won by a promising Gosden debutant. Sure to have improved for that this daughter of New Bay can put that experience to good use and go two better. JANEY MACKERS 1 point win @ 3/1 bet365 Cheltenham 2.25 A valuable class 2 two mile handicap chase features nine speedy chasers including last year’s one-two Dancing On My Own and Triple Trade who both have good claims especially the former who is actually 4lb better off with his old rival today and arrives on the back of a win at Ballinrobe 60 days ago. The fancy however is the in form Nigel Twiston-Davies runner Matata who has a 100% record fresh over the past three seasons so a 195 day absence shouldn’t be a problem for this likeable six-year-old who runs in the double green colours of Simon Munir and Isaac Souede. MATATA 1 point win @ 11/4 bet365 Doncaster 2.43 Fourteen run in this class 3 1M handicap run on the straight corse on soft ground. Many here are proven in soft ground and the race has a wide open look about it. One of six three-year-olds in the race William Muir & Chris Grassick’s Ebt’s Guard was very well backed when winning a classified stakes race at Ascot last time out having previously finished a decent sixth in the Cambridgeshire and with his liking for soft ground can be competitive off of just a 2lb higher handicap mark. He can be backed each way with additional places. EBT’S GUARD 1 point each way @ 7/1 William Hill 1/5th 1234 Cheltenham 3.00 Just six go to post for the 2M Grade 2 Sky Bet Novices’ Hurdle. The stand out performer here is the Adrian Keatley winning machine Gale Mahler. She has won six of her seven career starts with her best performance coming when upped into listed company at Galway in July when running out a 10L winner. She is penalised 5lb for that run but the likeable five-year-old mare can win again with Paul Nicholls’s Brave Knight the one to chase her home with his latest victory already working out well. GALE MAHLER 1 point win @ 4/5 bet365 Doncaster 3.18 A nine runner class 2 6F handicap in which the stand out horse is without doubt the improving three-year-old of William Haggas’s Altmore. The gelding won without coming off of the bridle on his handicap debut at Pontefract earlier this month on soft ground and even though that was a class 5 contest he looked a horse way ahead of his mark and with Tom Marquand taking over from Danny Tudhope stands out as the best bet of the day with conditions to suit again even though he will have to cope with a rise of 11lb. Zoum Zoum is interesting making his handicap debut on ground that suits for Ralph Beckett and looks the danger. ALTMORE 2 points win @ 6/4 William Hill Cheltenham 3.35 A highly competitive handicap chase for amateur jockeys only is up next to be run over 3M 1F. Nineteen will line up and we’ll need some luck in running here for sure. Last year’s winner Mole Court is back to defend his title along with the third and fourth from that race Wick Green and Strictlyadancer. They all have claims but it’s the younger Atlanta Brave that catches my eye. Kerry Lee has her string in good form and saddles her six-year-old with the experienced Zac Baker on top. This will only be his fifth career start over the bigger obstacles so there may easily be some improvement to come if straight enough for his first run since March. ATLANTA BRAVE 1 point each way @ 8/1 Quinnbet 1/5th 12345

he'll be out next round. That's the thing with Darts I suppose. Wattimena did it to Dobey last week too. Played brilliant and then back to crap the next week. DVD gets to 4 180s joint top then just turns to crap and hits several 140s. Sigh, surely bookies should atleast pay half the stake when it's a draw on that market.

Week Eight NFL Predictions YTD P35 W15 D2 L18 Staked 210 pts, returned 70.27 pts = YTD loss of 149.73 pts. Through the first four weeks of the regular season, favourites went 27-35-2 ATS (44%). Over the last three weeks, favourites are 28-14-1 ATS (67%). So I am taking the favourites to continue this good run. (1) Bengals to win ATS -2.5 points @ 10/11 The Bengals are 3-4 having suffered some narrow defeats this season including a one point loss to the undefeated Chiefs and losing in overtime to the Ravens. QB Joe Burrow is 10-1 SU in his last 11 games vs. NFC. So this stat points to a Bengals victory against a strong Eagles team. (2) Miami to win ATS -3.5 points @ 10/11 The Dolphins are 0-3 ATS at home this season. Miami has not finished a season below 50 percent (ATS at home) since 2015. In fact playing in Miami is usually a big advantage. Cardinals have to travel across the country on short rest after facing the Chargers on MNF. With Tua Tagovailoa likely to return this week, Miami should return to winning ways. (3) Falcons to win ATS -2.5 points at 10/11 Against divisional opponents, Tampa’s QB Baker Mayfield has been dreadful at home ATS (He is 4-10 ATS). Falcons have covered two straight games in Tampa Bay entering this contest. With injuries to Tampa’s star players, I expect Atlanta to continue their dominance. (4) 49Ers to win ATS -4.0 points @ 10/11 As an underdog the Cowboys QB Dak Prescott is 2-9 ATS in his last 11 starts.In night games against the 49Ers, Dak is 0-2 SU/ATS – scoring a total of just 22 points in two games. Provided the 49Ers keep running the ball, the Cowboys will struggle. (5) Steelers to win ATS -6.5 points @ 20/21 Dating back to 1992, the Steelers are 21-1 SU in home Monday night games. They should continue this record against the New York Giants. The Giants QB Daniel Jones hates being pressurised. What is the Steelers main strength, “Rushing the passer”. Daniel Jones will have a torrid time. Bet: 10 x 1 point trebles 5 x 3 point 4 timers 5 point accumulator

Good exercise though and maybe useful if the selected horse matches the "green". I think what i will do is pick my horses and then see if any match and if they do increase my stake a tad. The European runners do or have done quite well at this track in BC's. November 1st & 2nd Nov if anyone is curious. "ITV will now show City Of Troy's much anticipated Breeders' Cup Classic bid in a two-hour broadcast of the meeting on November 2". Im not sure i fancy City of troy in the classic to be honest, lots of questions there, dirt being the most obvious and the silly short price it will go off is another. Incidentally the BC in 2025 is also running at Del Mar so notebooks at the ready.....

Some weird stuff on the court at the moment. Danilovic playing Parry odds around 1.8 and 1.9 for both. Should be a close match, with two equal players, yet the scoreline is 6-1 6-0. This is just one of many bizarre results. Been watching a lot of Basel and Vienna. Is it just the sound from the indoor court, or are players hitting the ball harder? Tiafoe and Berrettini hit the cover off the ball in an excellent match. Tiafoe had him, serving at 1-0 3rd set with a break, drifted off and handed him the match. I thought Mensik was very very good against Popyrin in his previous match. He returned the ball incredibly well. I think he beats Kecemanovic quite easily. Some of the shot he hit against Popyrin where outstanding, and his return of serve was excellent. Dimitrov v Machac is an interesting one, that should be less serve dominated. I think a very close match probably going 3 sets. Still not convinced regarding De Minaur. I think he will struggle with Cobolli, who also hit the skin off the ball in his previous match. When players are hitting the ball so hard, it makes for a herky jerky match, with no rhythm (maybe the intention). I don't think that this helps De Minaur, who wants to dominate by grinding an opponent down. Rune v Stricker is interesting. Rune is not playing great IMO. All over the place, slightly inconsistent and not focused. Stricker played very well against Griekspoor. He has talent, and the crowd on his side may just annoy Rune (who looks brittle to me). Add the sneaky left hander angles and this could be a tough afternoon for Rune. Stricker worth a bet for the win here. Wawrinka just gets run over by a superior force against Shelton. Just too much Shelton serving power, which let's him have a free swing on his opponents serve. Also Stan had a difficult match yesterday against Mannarino, and at his age the recovery is not that quick and his legs could be slightly heavy. As a low priced "banker" 😗 this would be my pick. I thought Baustista Agut was super solid against Ruud yesterday. His unforced error count was very low, and this combined with mental strength and fitness makes him a very tough opponent. I think he may just grind Shapovalov down, even though Shapovalov may start fast. Just growing up and playing on clay at sea level, gives a player incredible conditioning and mental patience. I think Bautista Agut wins here in a war of attrition. As for the WTA, at this moment I would not touch it with a barge pole. Super inconsistent and anything could happen.

Yuan Yue to beat Mananchaya Sawangkaew 2-0 at 1.90 with Bet365 Sawangkaew might be improving, but Yue looked very solid against Minnen in the previous round, resilient from the backline and lots of power hitting from her end.

Not a bad day. 7pts profit 11/2 winner,plus £9.87. F.cast.and 20/1 place.

I only done a 299/1 shot to try and beat Cakes 289/1 winner last week.😆

I assume you saw the runners in the final column of my post. Interestingly in past breeders cups i have looked at "ordinary" meetings at the track but discovered that they bore little resemblance to the "breeders cup" draws and concluded that the BC is quite specific due to them supposedly being the creme de la creme of horses running for serious money so technically should/could overcome the draw or are all run at breakneck pace. You confirmed my feeling that draw 1/5/6 was a good plus so thanks for that. That draw 11 is interesting in that not all races have 11 runners but they all have 1/5/6 runners.

Nice to see. Not industry standard though I don't think - I'd be happy to be proved wrong though.

No chance. Getting paid on both sides of the bet must be their dream scenario. That it's unfair will make no difference to them - I don't imagine ethical conduct features too highly on their list of priorities.

Week Seven NFL Results P5 W2 L3 Staked 30 pts, returned nil pts for a weekly loss of 30.00 pts. YTD P35 W15 D2 L18 Staked 210 pts, returned 70.27 pts = YTD loss of 149.73 pts. (1) Ravens to win ATS -3.5 points @ 10/11. After a slow start Ravens win 41-31 WON The Ravens are a great all-round team, who should go close in the Super Bowl. With Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry they are close to invincible. Trends supporting this pick include: (1) The Bucs are 2-9 SU in their last 11 games against Baltimore. (2) Ravens have won 11 straight non-conference games and (3) The Bucs are 1-10 SU in their last 11 games vs AFC North division. All these trends clearly support a Ravens victory. Ravens duly obliged. (2) Eagles to win ATS -3.0 points @ 5/6. Easy win for Eagles 29-3 WON Saquon Barkley couldn’t get going last week against a strong Browns defence putting in a season worst performance. I expect him to highly motivated going back against his old team the Giants. The Giants defence is good when it can get to the QB not sure they will be able to penetrate this Eagles line. Barkley steamrolled the Giants for 176 yards and a touchdown. (3) Jets to win ATS -2.0 points at 10/11. Jets disappeared in the second half losing 37-15 LOST I have been waiting for the Jets to come alive and if their kicker was on form they would have beaten the Bills. Breece Hall totalled 169 yards with 111 of those coming on the ground. Aaron Rodgers also had a strong performance, throwing for a season-high 296 yards. The Jets have now lost three straight games by six points or less. It is time for them to start winning. Steeler’s may have Wilson at QB for the first time this year. Oh dear! Jets scored zero points in the second half. Wilson actually played well. (4) Falcons to win ATS -3.0 points @ 5/6. Fourth quarter disaster sees Seattle winning 34-14 LOST Falcons won week 5 thanks to Kirk Cousins throwing for over 500 yards. Last week the running backs Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier were the stars. This team should be able to compete at home against the Seahawks. An exciting game is expected. Kirk Cousins worst game of the season. (5) Rams to win ATS -7.0 points @ 20/21. Rams only win by five 20-15 LOST The Raiders are a team struggling with its QB and injuries. The Rams will have appreciated the break week to get their players fit again. Cooper Kupp might return. Even so, Kyren Williams will be able to punch big holes in the Raiders defence. Rams allowed the Raiders to score two field goals without reply in the fourth quarter resulting in the spread not being achieved.

I'm going to take a small punt on DVD getting most 180s tonight 15/2 Bet365 He's slowing getting back to his best and most importantly he is playing another player who will be coming back at him so scoring will be important. That match could easily go to a decider. The 15/2 looks decent.

Another issue would be the difference with the turf track and the dirt track so either way the sample size is not adequate but we can glean a few pointers i suppose.

I keep hoping that a bookmaker will read all your comments about me and offer me £200 in free bets, but it hasn't happened yet. Well done with your treble; I hope you enjoyed your chicken dinner

No, missed that in my haste! I'll see if I can quickly factor that in tomorrow, it might change the perspective slightly. Though of course we're ending up with a smaller sample size for the higher number draws.

If anyone bk a winner today at Newmarket, they must have a crystal ball.lot of big priced winner's that I wouldn't of chosen with 3 selections per race.coming to the end of the flat season, and the form doesn't hold up. Personally going to concentrate on the jumps now.

The Punters Lounge Fantasy Football League continued to show its rollercoaster nature this week with a new leader replacing @dwikyeddo at the summit. Raise your glasses for @patriciamarc's and their Lucas FC side who moved to the top thanks to a 60-point haul. Far from the most emphatic points total but it was another generally low-scoring week. Their lead at the top is just 6 points ahead of Lakshuman Sharma's Fantasy Team. Manager of the Week was another underwhelming accolade this week with low scores all over the shop. It was in fact Lakshuman Sharma's 73 points that was enough to lead the way this week. Nobody really came close and it was due to captain Mohamed Salah bringing in 26 points along with strong returns from Emiliano Martinez, Josko Gvardiol, Danny Welbeck, Chris Wood, and Ollie Watkins. Lowest score of the week was shared this time around. A lowly 20 points were earned by both @silver fox's Roys Rovers and bottom-placed Andy Elliot's Andellio. Roys Rovers will be putting the blame firmly at William Saliba's door for his red card and -3 return. Andellio will be looking at the red card for Joachim Andersen and the bizarre decision to still field the ineligible Scott McTominay and Romelu Lukaku!

Stalls 12-14 look poor but if there were only 4 runners from those stalls then... you take my point. That said, the strong showing for stall 11 stands out, assuming it's not just an anomaly. (Small sample size.) 61.5% of winners from stalls 1-6 and 51.3% of placed horses. Stalls 1, 5 and 6 obviously standing out. In terms of the last 3 columns I've awarded 50 points for a winner then 25 and 10 for 2nd and 3rd then indexed them. So stall 1 is 61.5% better than average in terms of places and 86.9% better in terms of points scored. Maybe cover the forecasts and tricasts on stalls 1, 11, 5 and 6!

Fond memories of this event as I picked out Ross Smith to win it a few years back. The top half is probably where you want to be. I'll be going with the following : Anderson 16/1 BetVictor --------------------------------------------- Schindler e/w 50/1 Sky De Decker e/w 50/1 (60/1 boosted with Laddies) Van Veen e/w 125/1 (Sky) Pie 300/1 e/w (sky)
