A quiet end to the season but overall very encouraging. There have been a number of incarnations over the season. The original selections achieved a profit of 170.65 points between June 14 and August 11. I then had a long losing run and paused the original system on September 2 with the profit at 121.00 points. I revised the system and started again on September 9. This got off to a poor start with a loss of 34.67 points recorded by September 22. I then changed my approach to concentrate on the top 2% of performers. This improved performance with a profit of 28.57 points by the end of the flat season. So overall a profit of 114.90 points for the 2024 flat season so I am looking forward to the 2025 flat season. I am still working on NH speed figures.

This Sunday’s Greatwood Handicap Hurdle at Cheltenham is always a race worth following and this year’s renewal, run over 2M 1/2F of the old course has attracted twenty at the six day declaration stage this lunchtime and is no exception. One horse who has been on my radar for the race for a while is James Owen’s Burdett Road who looks worth a decent each way bet. This will be his handicap debut over hurdles following two victories at Huntingdon and over course and distance at this meeting a year ago with a ten length second to the top class Sir Gino last January another top effort on his third and final start asa three-year-old hurdler. He has some excellent flat form when in the care of Michael Bell which including winning the Golden Gates Handicap at Royal Ascot on fast ground in June of 2023. The four-year-old appears to have taken his form to another level since joining Owen making all to win the listed 1M 4F Al Basti Equiworld , Dubai Godolphin Stakes at Newmarket in the mud by 8 1/2L from the progressive Military Academy who’s won a handicap since. His only outing since has come in the Group 2 Qipco Long Distnace Cup at Ascot on Champions Day when he was slowly away and could never get to the front trailing in sixth of the 9 runners beaten only 7 3/4L by champion stayer Kyprios. Despite the race not falling right for him that was a fair effort and he has an official handicap mark of 109 which in comparison to his rating over hurdles means he could be very well treated back over hurdles. I would love to see him get out in front in the manner he did at Newmarket when so impressive and with the drying ground unlikely to worry him looks excellent each way value. Current favourite Dysart Enos is unbeaten under rules in six races and looks the biggest danger although a close eye should be kept on the Emmet Mullins duo of Jacovec Cavern (last seen running ninth when favourite in the Cesarewitch) and Toll Stone. Mullins won this race in 2020 with The Shunter. Burdett Road has a lenient looking initial handicap mark and he looks worth a good each way bet. BURDETT ROAD 2 points each way @ 5/1 (general, 1/4 1234)

Ga law. 979 9/1 Ginny's destiny. 973 3/1 Stage star. 962 Protektoret. 961 Il ridoto 955 As you'd expect ...a ridiculously hard race to rate .....not that much between the top 5 overall ...each horse has it's merits .....bookies really favour Ginny's destiny and I can see why but I think overall there's better value in ga law who will come with a fitness advantage and is 3x the price so warrants the value bet badge ..... .....this looks a strong renewal so I don't think I'll ridoto is good enough and protektoret has a huge weight to carry .....likewise stage star who won this last year but will have to shoulder more weight this time against unexposed types .... For me it's 8pt win ginny .....4 PT ga law .......that feels a strong hand to play in a classy race Edit ...nicholks is talking about Ginny's running in the king George !!.......so he'd have to annilate these if that's the case ....🤔

NH selection Kempton 1.45 CALIFET EN VOL 19/20 Ladbrokes

Won Profit +£90 Month +£180

agree with that. I expect Cross to regain some control tonight and Wright has just looked awful. Apparently, Wright has been trying different throw techniques to go along with his different darts every week. Dear o dear. Agree with the Edhouse bet too. Good luck

It's not the most imaginative bet but Cross to beat Wright and score most 180s at 6/4 (Paddy Power) looks decent to me. Unless Wrighty discovers some inspiration from somewhere, it's hard to see him challenging Voltage here, and he's not hitting many 180s of late. I also think Edhouse will beat Chizzy, typically it's 8/15, Chisnall has been having back issues and now that he's out of the tournament I can't see him caring hugely about overcoming an Edhouse who's full of confidence after two solid wins and a tournament win.

Looks like a good chance we're looking at a Littler v Anderson semi. Those 2 over a best of 31 in their current form could be special. Humphries going out opens up that half nicely. Hopefully Wade and Cross can win their games 🤞

AW selection Wolverhampton 7.45 HARLINGTON

@Peter York maintains his lead at the top with 5/2 El Rio. @mick33 is breathing down his neck after selecting 11/1 Ffos Las winner Highland Haven.

yeah, would be really good. Hard match to win, that. It wouldn't shock me if Ross Smith turns up all of a sudden this week.

Well, looking at that draw, Wade doesn't look impossible. Frankly though, Edhouse has been playing the best of those eight so far... (and Noppert, but I'm still mad at him). Would be great if Rock could beat Bunting tomorrow.

confirmed top half then 👇🏻LOVE how open that is. Wade/Menzies Noppert/Mansell Lukeman/R.Smith Edhouse/Cross

congrats on Lukeman. Would have a chance against Ross Smith or Scutt really in next round, too.

lol this tournament is so mad though. Like Schindler's game was mental. 107 average but because he knows he needs a certain number of legs it's a completely different game.

thanks but i should have bet higher as was feeling good about that match, but was careful because the great alcaraz version would have blasted ruud off the court

I saw an interview with Gary Anderson and he said that he's the "Most naturally gifted darts player ever". At first, it might seem a crazy statement but does he have a point? When we think naturally gifted the first players that come to mind, for me, are "Michael Smith, Adrien Lewis, MVG, Gary Anderson, Luke Littler, Humphries, and even Joe Cullen) but only Humphries has that consistent winning CV (recently) Anderson has to be one of my favourite players. He has to be up there. I'm just talking a pure natural talent. Ie., if they stopped practising for a long period, they'd take a very little time to get straight back to big scores.

And Anderson. And Wattimena. LOL These 4 stand out to me after 2 rounds. Seems like a Littler tournament win.

Yeah, he really is. As is Littler.

Won, SP 8/11 4 from 8, LSP 18.63

100% but I think part of tonight's performance was due to him knowing he was out if he lost. I think when the legs go up it will help Wade. Certainly against Menzies. Obviously Noppert beats him based on performances so far though

For me it's got to be a bet of some kind against Rublev. He's just too unstable to back in any way.

Winner +£110 nice drift to 11/2 +£485 day 56

I haven't seen either recently, but the pre-match odds look a bit short to me. I'd be happy to hope for him to get broken early and then back him though. He has that comeback factor and Rublev can go mental, as you say.

Had Charlie and fentimens. Looks good apprentice

Definitely. Ruud knew about it so it's surprising the info never made its way to the market somehow. If it had done then there's no way Alcaraz would have been 10 to 1 on.

Would have been a greater bet on the exchanges. About 12 there before the match started.
