Morning 🤝🏽 Three ante post selections for me ahead of the weekend. If I've analysed correctly I think all three will significantly shorten and I've had 2pt wins on each. Will be plenty of NRs and I am pretty confident all three run so trying to take some serious value now 👍🏼 2pt wins on each selection 6pts staked in total Good luck if you follow 💷🏇🤝🏽

Ballywood dropped 47lb from peak rating, wonder if he will pop up one day (hopefully today for you 😀). Was entitled to have needed a few runs after 3 years off. Racing post gave him an RPR of 93 at Fontwell, suggesting he's not completely gone.

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)

I've shortlisted the below for the World Tour Championship - - Min Woo Lee 29/1 - Adam Scott 44/1 - Alex Fitzpatrick 109/1 - Johannes Veerman 119/1 - Sebastian Soderberg 149/1 All to win Betfair Will review top 10 prices before Thursday Good luck on your bets this week!

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 ....🤔

Rock out, unfortunately. "Two out of three ain't bad", but realistically, Rock was supposed to be my best bet... Wade and Lukeman are big outsiders even in this field. At least Lukeman and Wattimena delivered the group win, Scutt did not. "Two out of three ain't bad." 😀

Good shout mate - I’ve just done the same. As you say, they’re in a nice section of the draw so hopefully one of them can make the semi-finals at least.

66/1 for the Players and 80/1 for the Worlds. I do like taking players going into December with form.

I've just backed Nijman and Van Veen in the Players Championship Finals. Both have nice draws and they play each other and based on this performance the price will not stick around 50/1 and 66/1

And Anderson, underwhelming performance from the Scot and got completely owned by Nora-Lynn on the 180s. Poor stuff, especially considering how good he's been up til this.

1 winner at 15/2.1pt profit.

Interesting thread, I'll have to trawl through my data and see what I can come up with to help / hinder

Result: Norman Fletcher 1st. Won £25 November profit to date £85.68

Here’s my attempt at it. Couple of surprises but when looked into a case can be made for them to run well . II Ridoto 49 6/1 Ginnys Destiny 46.05 3/1 Janidil 43.57 25/1 Protektorat 41.95 These are my top 5 at the minute

Taken some 3/1 (Skybet) Ginny's Destiny for the Paddy Power Gold Cup on Saturday. Shorter with most bookies and looks rock solid given he does well at Cheltenham (won 3 chases here and only 2L behind Grey Dawning at the festival). Yards runners have needed a run but he can obviously get them ready to win if he wants. 2pts win 3/1 P/L: +5.9pts

I don't know about you but, whilst I'm glad of a week's respite from the mayhem of the UEFA club competitions, it seems a bit soon for yet another International break! The main event, such as it is, is the Nations League which has games from Thursday through to Sunday. There are also friendlies and qualifying games around the globe. Domestically there's the Women's Champions League, ELF Trophy, National Leagues North and South and Scottish Challenge Cup to see us over the next couple of days. Here are the NL games for Thursday with England away to Greece and Belgium v Italy the game of the day. Should you deign to keep your hand in with a bet or two over the coming days then please share them with us here.

MVG out. Van Veen taking on Joyce in the L16.

80/1 certainly won't last long, I've taken some of that too, he's playing top 5 in the world darts at the moment. Let's hope he keeps it up for at least a couple more months!

Ridiculous standard with Gian and Wessel. Shame Wessel has to go home, he should have taken this game too, had Gian on the rack but the Dutchman hung in there and snatched the win from under Wessel's nose. Van Veen is going to take some stopping at this rate.

£10 E/W 7.30 Southwell: Lion of War @ 6/1 (Bet365)

Four winners today and two doubles. The return was 7.15 for a 4.50 outlay so a profit of 2.65. This makes my L15's C/Fwd balance = to -136.09. I will be out most of the day tomorrow so may not be able to post up

The next round will be on 23rd November ?

thanks @CzechPunter and @Torque, was much quicker match than i expected but zverev was serving bombs.

Initially it seemed to work better on the turf rather than the all weather but I will have another look at the AW at some stage

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

Well done on your two as well. Not great for me later on (just Harris and Hurts) but a small profit on the day thanks to the early double. See what the last game has in store!

Finally a winner for me, I look forward to marauding up the table in the coming weeks. How long is left?

Well, this just goes to show that you’ll be a wealthy punter if you bet against me 😂
