Crewe v Dagenham & Redbridge Dagenham are nearly always worth opposing away from home and in the league they have only managed to win at Hartlepool on their travels this season. In their last 2 away games they have created very little at Yeovil and Oldham on Saturday. They did win at Leiston in the previous round, but then they ought to have done. Crewe are having a great season in League 2 and have won 7 of their last 10 league games just losing the once. After losing 5-0 to Chesterfield in their opening league home game they are unbeaten at home and I think they look a good price to knock out Dagenham. Hednesford v Gainsborough The prices for this game are way out for me. I accept that Hednesford are under performing a little in the league, but their squad is very good for the level and for me better than their opponents. I think it is fair to say their wage bill is rather higher. We were unlucky not to get paid out on them in the previous round against Gateshead and then they went and won the replay 3-1. Gainsborough had a great result themselves as they were also unlucky not to win the 1st tie against Boston and then beat them 4-0 in the replay. Their league form isn't great having won just 3 games and they are currently in the relegation zone albeit with games in hand because of their cup runs. Ultimately this is a great chance for either side to make the 2nd Round, but Hednesford should almost be favourites for me and at the price they rate a cracking bet. Stockport v Forest Green Used to write about this match as a league game a few years ago, but the home side are now in League 1 and having a good season losing just twice in the league although their first win in 5 games did come on Tuesday against Reading. Stockport lost to Aldershot in a replay in the Cup last season and I just wonder if we will see a few first team players rested. Forest Green are one of the title contenders this season so for them to be such a big price seems a bit over the top for me so happy to take a chance they can cause an upset. Woking v Cambridge United Woking did create much more against Forest Green last weekend although obviously the fact FGR had 10 men for a lot of the game helped. They host a League 1 side here and I can't believe Cambridge are a bigger price to win than FGR are. That doesn't make any sense to me. To be fair if this game had been a couple of weeks ago then Cambridge would have been coming into this without a win in the league, but then they beat Wigan, Stevenage and Burton. For me they will surely be looking to continue that good run of form and keep the confidence high so they should be too strong for Woking. Worthing v Morecombe Morecombe have won just 1 league game all season and I'm sure Worthing are eyeing up a possible upset here. Their form has been strong in the league of late and whilst there are 2 levels between the sides at the moment, you wouldn't go a huge price about it being a league game next season. With Worthing having a 3g pitch to add into the mix it looks a possible for an upset. Boreham Wood v Leyton Orient This game is on Sunday at 2pm and I think the home side can possibly have another FA Cup run. They haven't always been as good as I thought they would be this season, but the change back to the former manager does seem to have brought about improvement. It's just been 1 win in 7 for Orient in the league and whilst it is still a tough ask for the home side I do think there is a bit of value in the price. Treble Bradford, Grimsby and Accrington are the 3 sides I like at odds on to beat Aldershot, Wealdstone and Rushall respectively Prices from Thursday 11am Crewe 2.5pts @ 9/10 with Bet365 (Evs with William Hill and take up to 4/6) Forest Green 1pt @ 10/1 with Coral and Ladbrokes (11/1 with Hills and take up to 13/2 Cambridge 4pts @ 19/20 with William Hill, Coral and Ladbrokes (take up to 4/6) Worthing 1pt @ 11/4 with Bet365 and William Hill (take up to 9/4) Boreham Wood 1pt @ 13/2 with Ladbrokes, Coral and Betfred (take up to 9/2) Bradford/Grimsby/Accrington 1pt treble @ 2.91/1 with Bet365 Hednesford 1pt @ top price (take up to 7/4)

3.45 Ascot Two For Gold 48.65 16/1 Amirite 48.65 11/2 Flegmatik 46.35 Got 3 top rated here . Two For Gold has only finished outside the top two at ascot once in 6 visits, but is 11 years old now. He’s gone well fresh in the past but I just feel this is likely to go to Our Power . Our Power will come on for the run the trainer has said so that doesn’t fill me with confidence . Henry De Bromhead hasn’t sent Amirite over for nothing .

Wycombe v York The home side are flying in League 1 this season which is why I initially didn't put them up as a bet. They are 2nd just behind Birmingham and ahead of Wrexham and lost just twice. Interestingly though they play Stockport on Tuesday night in what will be a much bigger match for both sides. If I am opposing Stockport because they will likely rest players, then it makes sense to take Wycombe on as well because there is surely a good chance they will do the same thing. We know what York are capable off and it is a similar bet to the FGR one really. I noticed York were initially put in as big as 16/1 and whilst they are shorter than that now they are still big enough to take a chance with. Price from Friday 11am York 1pt @ 8/1 with Bet365 (take up to 5/1)

City Of Troy did not like that surface . Looked like he hated every second of it.

Nicely done today again Saturday booming.

Thanks RW, not very often I get on at the prices but managed the 20s with Laddies

Here's a Lucky 31 as requested by @The Equaliser 😁 As for City of Troy - not the best classic i have seen but that price is shocking for a horse that's never run on dirt. Turf Polytrack or Tapeta is not dirt and its sensible never to believe anything O'Brien says.

Glad it's all sorted. It is a pain these days but I suppose once you've saved the documents you can then use them for whichever bookie requests them.

£20 Win - 2.05 Ascot: Martator @ 13/2 (Ladbrokes)

Just an update on my original post. I started the process of getting a passport, but before I could complete that, Coral suspended my account because I hadn’t provided the requested ID quickly enough. I emailed them and said I was happy enough for them to refuse withdrawals until I sent them ID, but asked them to leave the account active in the meantime. They replied: “Your account was temporarily suspended for a routine security review. This is now complete, and we have reopened your account. You can now log in and withdraw and also start playing.” That sounded promising, but I still waited until I had received my new passport before repeating my original withdrawal request. Sure enough, as soon as I made my request, I got a new email about providing ID. Everything went smoothly once I’d sent them a picture of my new passport. It’s just annoying that I had to spend a fair bit of time (I even had to do a video interview with the Passport Office) and over half of my withdrawal on getting ID in order to persuade a bookie that I have been using for close to two decades to give me my own money.

My thoughts for tonight's races. City of Troy for me is shocking value even if this is not a vintage year for the Americans, it may win but is not a serious bet in my opinion better options each way and i quite like highland falls. Big evs has got to be the value bet in the 7:41 at around 12/1. alice verite is probably the best Japan chance and thats a huge price. Porta Fortuna is the best horse by far in the 11:45 but shocks do happen. I think the yanks will struggle to win the turf races. good luck to anyone playing tonight. 615 Raqiya 5/1 (ep) winner. 700 Pleasant 14/1 BOG 3rd soul of an angel wins at 33/1. missed out on a whopper of a FC by a nose. 741 Big Evs No luck here, messy race but another one for the Brits. 821 Alice Verite Bobbins. 😟 901 Luxembourg Never had a chance. 941 Highland Falls Brace yourself for some serious arse licking before this race and hmm maybe even more after. Ooops 💩 1025 Cinderellas Dream Shame Buick doesn't usually get himself stuck behind not sure the 2nd string did him any favours either, thats gg's for you 1105 Mullikin mullikin 3rd disappointing 1145 Porta Fortuna I don't think Donnacha will be very pleased with Marquand, shocking ride. Notable speech just came up short on the night. 1225 Tumbarumba 40/1 4th paid out on bet365 Good start and a few good results i had 16 bets for a 33/1 winner 5/1 winner and 33/1 place 40/1 place 14/1 place so all in all a good day which could have been outstanding if pleasant hadn't been nosed out for 2nd in the 7:00

Sodexo gold cup I wasn't going to bother with this race but class rating for ..Chianti classico(+70) is really high so I'll chance 10pt win at 3.8
