It is my daughter's wedding tomorrow so the next update will be on Sunday

The Cox Plate is the biggest WFA race in Australia and it looks set to be a cracking race and with it being 7/2 the field it is a competitive one as well. Here is my spin through the runners. Romantic Warrior - Superb form over in Hong Kong and was a warm order for the Turnbull on his first start in Australia, but my initial thinking was that he was a little disappointing in being beaten around 4L by Gold Trip into 4th place. It has to be said though that the form worked out well in the Caulfield Cup last week so given it was his first run since May perhaps it wasn't quite as bad as I initially thought. I think the natural reaction when a short price fav is out of the frame that it wasn't a great run, but it is clearly important to put the run into context. James McDonald is confident that the horse has come on a lot since the Flemington run and if he has then he could easily turn the form around with Gold Trip and go very close to winning. Zakki - Ex Sir Micheal Stoute horse who has done very well for his new connections in Australia. He's 9 now, but he's run two very good races over 1400m and 1600m this prep at Randwick and the first of them he was just beaten by Fangirl. I'd be surprised if he was good enough especially as he's drawn in 12, but he can run another solid race. Mr Brightside - Has already bagged a couple of G1's this prep winning the Memsie over 1400m at Caulfield and then the Makybe Diva at Flemington over 1600m beating Alligator Blood. He was odds on to win the King Charles III at Randwick a couple of weeks ago, but was more than put in his place by Fangirl. It's been suggested the ground was too firm for him that day, but it was a Good 3 when he won the time before. The problem for me though is the trip as he was only 7th in this last year and I think he needs 1600m to be at his best. Alligator Blood - Looked a non-stayer in this last year when only 5th, but that did come on softer ground and he certainly stayed 2000m well when winning the G1 Caulfield Stakes a couple of weeks ago. That came on the back of winning the G1 Underwood the start before. As impressive as he was though at Caulfield I'm not sure it was that strong a race as the favourite was a huge disappointment and he ended up only beating former Melbourne Cup winner Vow And Declare who is clearly better over further. I wouldn't be shocked if he won, but this will be a tougher test over the trip than his win last time. Gold Trip - What a year he has had. He ran in the Caulfield Cup last year finishing 2nd, he was then 9th in this before winning the Melbourne Cup. His Autumn prep wasn't great, but he is back in great form this prep having won the Turnbull in fantastic fashion and then a really good 3rd last week in the Caulfield Cup given he didn't get a lot of luck in running at all. Clearly he is flying and he didn't get much luck in running in this last year either so the fact he was only 9th can be overlooked a bit. He showed last year that he keeps his form and if he gets better luck in running then he is more than capable of winning this. My Oberon - 3rd in the King Charles III last time which was a solid run, but suggests he shouldn't be good enough. Pinstriped - Won a G2 here over a mile last month and ran OK a couple of weeks ago in the Toorak which is a G1 handicap over a mile. I'd be surprised if he was good enough. Fangirl - Trainer clearly knows how to win this race with a mare and she has been in flying form this prep winning the G1 Winx Stakes and the King Charles III last time out. I was really impressed last time and whilst she is untested over this far, she wasn't stopping last time and she has a potent turn of foot. If she stays I think she will go close. Duais - 3rd to Alligator Blood in the Caulfield Stakes and the Underwood and she was 7th behind Fangirl in the Winx Stakes which all suggests to me she wont be winning this. Victoria Road - The one European runner in the race and will be leaving Aiden O'Brien and staying in Australia. He took 5 runs to win finally landing a Gowran Park maiden last August. He then followed that up with 3 more wins which included a Listed Race and a G3 both in France, before landing the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf by a nose. The 2nd was Silver Knott who has done little for the form this season, but then again Charlie Appleby's horses haven't always been in great form. He missed his intended seasonal return at Longchamp after getting injured and wasn't seen again until August when he was 7th behind Ace Impact at Deauville. He was then 2nd in the Park Stakes at Leopardstown last month. It was a much better run and you would imagine Aiden has been aiming him at this, but Buckaroo was 2nd in that race and he was a never involved 7th behind Fangirl in the King Charles III Stakes. Clearly anything the yard sends to Australia has to be respected and if he wins then so be it, but I am just not sure he is good enough on bare form. Militarize - Won the G1 Golden Rose at Rosehill last month and then didn't get a race run to suit when favourite in the Caulfield Guineas a couple of weeks ago finishing 5th. Landed a couple of G1's last prep so clearly a top class horse, but he's never run over this trip. Does get plenty of weight as a 3yo though. King Colorado - Won a G1 in Queensland in June on his 3rd start, but was only 9th in the Winx Stakes and 7th in the Golden Rose. Was 4th in the Caulfield Guineas last time so did reverse form with Militarize, but I'd be a little surprised if he did finish in front of that one again here. Verdict - A fascinating renewal of the Cox Plate. I must admit my initial thinking was to take on Romantic Warrior, but on looking back at the Turnbull run and the fact the race looks red hot form wise I think he is the most likely winner. He will surely come on plenty for his first run since May and his Hong Kong form does look the best in the race. I will also be having a couple of small savours in the race. Gold Trip has to be one of them given he won the Turnbull and was huge off top weight in the Caulfield Cup last week. We know he can handle the quick back up and granted luck in running he will surely improve massively on his 9th in this last year. I was also hugely impressed by Fangirl at Randwick and if she stays I think she goes close as she looks in career best form. Romantic Warrior @ 7/2 with William Hill Gold Trip @ 7/1 with William Hill and Bet365 Fangirl @ 6/1 with William Hill and Bet365 NB if having an e/w bet William Hill are going 4 places

Flight deck 3rd !!....I'm happy with that ....pays at 13/1 so +40.00 on the day 😀

Cheltenham 1.15 The first of four ITV races is this 2M class 2 handicap chase where the front running Haddex Des Obeaux looks the the one they all have to beat but has been priced accordingly and it maybe worth looking for some each way value with the locally trained Before Midnight. The oldest in the field at ten years of age he won this race for Sam Thomas two years ago when making all by 6L and can race today off of a mark a pound lower plus another 7lb off for the conditional jockey Ben Sutton who’s won seven of his 52 rides in his short career so far. He teed up for this with a fourth in a seniors handicap hurdle a fortnight ago and this well handicapped gelding trained by Fergal O’Brien can be competitive here. BEFORE MIDNIGHT 1 point each way @ 8/1 Boylesports 1/5th 1234 Cheltenham 1.50 This class 2 Masterson Holdings hurdle, run over 2M 87 yards looks a good opportunity for the Paul Nicholls trained Blueking D’Ooux who was turned inside out by a wind operation last season winning a valuable handicap hurdle at Ascot at 50/1 (the biggest priced winner ever for Nicholls) and proved that was no fluke by running well at Aintree in a similarly valuable handicap hurdle going down by 3 3/4L to Punctuation. He’s the highest rated horse in the field by 9lb from his main danger in the Gary Moore trained Spirit D’Aunou but Blueking D’Oroux is a confident selection. BLUEKING D’OROUX 3 points win @ 6/4 BetVictor Doncaster 2.10 The feature race of the day on the level is the Kameko Futurity Trophy, the final Group one of the season for the two year olds and this looks a shoot out between the unbeaten Diego Velazquez of Aidan O’Brien’s and the Charlie Appleby trained Ancient Wisdom. Official ratings have the latter a 5lb better horse and as he’s shown he handles soft ground well having impressed when running away with the Group 3 Autumn Stakes at Newmarket a fortnight ago is the pick with William Buick in the saddle. Appleby is having a bit of a purple patch at the moment winning with ten of his last 18 runners at a staggering 56%. ANCIENT WISDOM 2 points win @ 7/4 bet365 Cheltenham 2.25 A decent field of fourteen line up for this class 2 3M 1F handicap chase which has an open look about it. Neil Mulholland’s eight year old Lord Accord took this last season having teed up for the race with a spin over hurdles and his trainer is taking the same route this season having run him at Warwick in a handicap hurdle at Warwick 23 days ago. He should be spot on for this now and off of just a one pound higher handicap mark can confirm that form with the runner up The Wolf who is rather inconsistent for my liking. LORD ACCORD 1 point each way @ 6/1 Unibet 1/5th 1234 Doncaster 2.45 Nine have declared for this 6F listed race for two year olds which may go to the form horse Ballymount Boy. Adrian Paul Keatley’s Wathnan Racing owned Camacho colt is dropping back to 6F which is the trip at which he ran his best race this summer when chasing home the smart Vandeek in the Group 2 Richmond Stakes on very soft ground and a reproduction of that effort should see him home here. He was below par in the Group 1 Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere at Longchamp last time although he may have found the ground too fast that day. James Doyle takes over from Jason Hart and on ground he handles looks the pick. BALLYMOUNT BOY 2 points win @ 10/3 888sport Cheltenham 3.00 A bumper maximum field of twenty go to post for this 3M Pertemps Network Handicap Hurdle qualifier which as one would expect has a very open look about it. There are four Irish trained challengers including Willie Mullins and Gordon Elliott charges but it’s the Noel Meade trained Bugs Moran that catches the eye. He’s been runner up in a listed handicap hurdle at the Galway Festival following a 464 day layoff and filled the same position at Listowel this autumn under Jack Kennedy and should appreciate this step up to 3M from 2M 4F as a previous winner of the 3m EBF novice handicap hurdle at the Fairyhouse festival in 2022. At a big price don’t under estimate Syd Hosie’s handicap debutant Rock My Way who had good early season form here last year and will stay well. He’s worth a small each way saver. BUGS MORAN 1 point each way @ 7/1 1/5th 12345 ROCK MY WAY 1/2point each way @ 33/1 1/5th 12345 Doncaster 3.20 Five of the eleven runners all met at Catterick over the same trip and ground a week ago with Vintage Clarets coming out the best of the quintet and should go close agin although its the runner up that day Glorious Angel, owned by Nick Bradley Racing that maybe able to turn the tables on the winner on one pound better terms. He goes well on testing ground and in a tight knit contest where stakes should be kept to a minimum is worth an each way bet in a race that is the less appealing of all nine covered by the ITV cameras today. GLORIOUS ANGEL 1/2 point each way @ 7/1 BetVictor 1/5th 123

Won’t see a better race all day than the Cox Plate and I’m still not sure how Romantic Warrior managed to get his head in front on the line. Now 3/3 in the big spring Aussie races. Will attempt to make it 4/4 in the Melbourne Cup a week on Tuesday

I hope you all have great day enjoy every minute mate 👍

Let’s do something in November, probably the November Saturdays and I can do the updates early in the week.

Oldham v Altrincham I wrote in the preview for Tuesday's games that I thought we might have got away with one with Oldham beating Rochdale on Saturday based on the stats. That as well as the price drop meant I left them alone against Fylde and it was certainly the right decision as they were awful. They barely created a chance and in the end Fylde ran out very easy 3-0 winners. I was clearly surprised that they were so bad, but it does suggest that Mellon might have his work cut out. First home game in charge might well see some improvement, but we know how good Altrincham are and for me they have to be backed. Woking v Bromley A goal on the counter attack meant Woking beat Eastleigh on Tuesday night which was a much needed win for them. Bromley meanwhile needed a wonder goal in injury time to beat Dorking, but that continued their superb run of form which is only ruined by a poor performance at Chesterfield. They are the likely title winners though so nothing that wrong with that and I just can't have them at such a big price to win this. Curzon Ashton v Chester After a slow start to the season Chester have found their form of late and have won their last 3 games 2-0 which includes a win over Hartlepool in the FA Cup. I would make them favourites to win this as I think we will see Curzon struggle a bit after losing their manager to Kings Lynn and they have lost their last 2 league games. Eastbourne v Slough I thought when Slough came back from 2 down to level it at 2-2 on Tuesday night against St Albans that we were in with a chance, but then Slough conceded a 3rd. That was their 1st defeat though in 6 games whilst Eastbourne have only won once in their last 6, ironically enough that was a 3-2 win against St Albans. Slough have drifted out and look a big price because I don't think there is a great deal between these two sides. Royston v Needham Market (Southern Premier Central) The away side have only lost once in the league all season and they pushed York so close in the FA Cup the previous round so they are looking very strong this season. Royston have only lost once at home, but they have only won once in their last 6 games and Needham look a decent bet to pick up another 3 points. Didcot v Sholing (Southern Premier South) Sholing now have former Sutton and Havant boss Paul Doswell in charge and after a poor run of form they are doing much better and are now unbeaten in 5. They look much stronger than a Didcot side who got thumped 7-1 by Totton on Wednesday night. They have won just once this season and have key players missing through injury and suspension on Saturday. I think they look the best bet of the weekend. Prices from Thursday afternoon Altrincham 1pt @ 19/10 with Bet365 (11/5with Paddy Power and Betfair and take up to 13/8) Bromley 1pt @ 11/4 with Bet365, Paddy Power and Betfair (take up to 2/1) Chester 1pt @ 29/20 with Paddy Power and Betfair (Skybet are 13/8 take up to 5/4) Slough 1pt @ 23/10 with Paddy Power, Betfair and William Hill (take up to 15/8) Needham Market 1pt @ 5/4 with Betfred (Skybet are 13/10 and take up to 11/10) Sholing 2pts @ 11/8 with Skybet, William Hill and Bet365 (Betfred are 6/4 and take up to Evs)

I think the bet tomorrow is Van Veen to beat Gurney. Rock didn’t turn up tonight and with Van Veen I wasn’t sure if his doubling would be that great on the big stage. He looked really good though and calm. 5pts Van Veen to beat Gurney 4/5 bet365

2.00 ain't Minella drama. 8.8 16/1 Hitman. 8.6 4/1 Difficult race to rate with a few novice types and one horse returning after 600 day layoff and the ground will be heavy ....hitman finished 2nd in this last year and looks to have been aimed at it again but heavy ground ??...dangerous ...at a bigger price minella drama looks overpriced and won't mind the soft ...5pt wins both

Yeh MVG was hitting 140s for fun. Ricardo just too inconsistent tonight unfortunately. And MVG could have won by more if he hadn't gone for that fancy D19 D19 finish! 😆 He's coming to the boil at just the right time is Van Gerwen.

Such a shame MVG was in such good form. Anything below a 100 average and I think Pikachu wins it. 105 average from MVG

Very good call shame I didn't follow you on it! (although I do have an outright on Van Veen). Gian played very well aside from a lean spell in the middle of the match. His finishing was excellent, on this form he'll be hard stopped.

Aberama gold, Judicial law and flight deck probably have me near breaking even or maybe up little for today including footy (Chelsea?????). Thunder Roar will have me in profit for defo. Doing last 5 races at Gulfstream tonight with wife in a wee US Racenight.

We’ll done we had winner of 1st at Cheltenham also places in other races there couple of winners in France do far few more to go on lucky 15

Doncaster 2:45 The form brought into this by Ballymount Boy in Doncaster’s listed class 1 affair looks good enough to win this listed contest. He drops in class from group 1 and followed the progressive Vandeek in a group 2 who followed up at Newmarket recently no one got beat him at Hq while the selection got to within a length. Sectional comparison with races on the same card involving different horses are questionable. The last horse I backed coming off a win at longchamp was well beaten but this runner was not knocked about in high class company there and may be better for the effort back in low class now given an extra week off and can duly frank the form from the vandeek race. vandeek’s first two runs including that York race the newcomer was slowly away and it’s testament to both ballymount Boy and Andre Atzeni who must have had plenty of confidence going on to win the prix morny at deauville before James Doyle took over at Newmarket. Atzeni now plys his trade in Hong Kong where after a tricky start he is banging in the winner at both tracks on the rock including three days ago seen to great effect on PACKING BOLE at Sha tin. Coincidentally James Doyle takes over now on Ballymount Boy from Jason Hart who has been on board all three runs. He should now know what is needed here. the draw data runner in stall 3 is Moswaat but this race has been won by stall four two times in the last three runnings which brings the win selection right into this. Moswaat each way Ballymount Boy win it’s also worth noting ballymount boy is dropping back down to 6 furlongs for the first time since finishing behind the unbeaten vandeek. Vandeek destroyed his field subsequently in a group 1 over this trip but won going away clear by even further 2:25 lengths both Ballymount boy’s next runs at a higher level were over 7f dropping down to the trip he ran so well at behind a now proven and still unbeaten group 1 horse may be hugely stronger collaborative form than a cross compared sectional in a low grade race.

Triple Trade 1:15 Cheltenham (14/1 e/w 4 places bet365). I really liked his win at Kempton where he was well backed and easily beat Light and Strike by 10 lengths (won next time out). Gone up 10lbs, off 187 days and has a very different track to contend with, but 14/1 looks too big especially with 4 places. The fav is the obvious one and that Warwick win was seriously impressive, especially with the other 3 all winning next time out. But does have a long break and an injury to overcome, so is not guaranteed to be the same horse today. Before Midnight has dropped a lot in the weights but might need to drop further, it's hard to know how good he is anymore. 0.5pts e/w 14/1 4 places Cracking race. They were always going a bit fast for mine but he stayed on well, without quite looking like catching the winner. Might have won without a couple of slow jumps. p/l: -0.9pts

Not much appealing to me today, but for a bit of interest I’m going with Price -1.5 hcap, Wade -1.5 hcap & Humphries -2.5 hcap, the treble pays just over 4/1.

BBBC good luck to you. Let’s hope we can make it a profitable final.

It is possible .....a few years back (like 10-12 years😆)....I was sitting in the pub in November with my friends and we all picked 4 horses as a long range ...well we only did doubles and a 4 timer ...only small stakes and all mine won winning me close to 2 grand .,. .to do this bet you've got to pick the very best races. ...I think mine were the king George ...champion hurdle .....queen mother champion ... and gold cup ... You know certain horses will be targeted at these races bar none . So barring a training accident you've got a decent shot at a run ... so it is possible lol 😆

Did one this time last year all were non runners, maybe this one is best left until after the new year meeting. Meanwhile why not do a Saturday lucky 15 comp I'm Sure @harry_rag is suitably bored to be able run a table same rules as previous L15 comps. @MCLARKE @BBBC @LEE-GRAYS @calva decoy @White Feather @The Equaliser @Brahminand anyone else i have missed out who may be interested.

I think it’s a great time for Hawkins to beat Trump tomorrow. Gilbert gave it a good shot and made it to the decider but Trump is getting closer and closer to losing round by round and is grinding down wins. I just feel like Hawkins is playing better out of the two this week. 2pts Hawkins to beat Trump 7/4 Bet365

It's a bit of a joke tussle as Ngannou doesn't even box. Plain and simple, I think Fury wins in a couple of rounds. Maybe 3-5 rounds. Boxed to death. Something to watch on a Saturday night I guess? to be honest, the only way this bet doesn't win is if Fury wants to p*ss around and put on a show. Which is possible tbh. However, with a real fight around the corner (Usyk) he should really get serious. 4pts Fury to win rounds 1-5 6/4 Skybet

Humphries v MVG. Winner plays Price in the final is, I suppose, the most likely outcome and what was expected from the start. The latter rounds we go the more likely the better player wins, I suppose. On a personal note, I'll be hoping for Dobez vs Humphries now.

Sporting Life guys gave a good shout for Ferguson. And mentioned to look for players who won in windy conditions. Valimaki nicely poised and won in Oman Open which is similar conditions to the Qatar tournament. Big Bobby Mac nicely poised as well and will be used to conditions as well. Be interesting to see how it all plays out in the final day's play tomorrow.

@MCLARKE Is Lord Melbourne really that much of a banker?

Some tasty bets landed last night but I’m willing this tournament to end now as it detracts from my horse racing. You cannot serve “two masters”and all that. I’ve said all there is to say about England and much of my pre analysis was spot on and all the problems needs addressing or Italy will record a six nations win over the red rose this spring. Despite reaching the semis which they could not avoid they are below both Ireland and Wales in my ratings. SOUTH AFRICA VS NEW ZEALAND This game will serve as a reminder hopefully why the tournament has been such a success. The aim of the game is to score tries and respect the referee. The money I’ve made has been banked and these are essentially fun bets today but still represents how I think the game may go if it doesn’t no bother I’ve made my cash 💰 already. Bets at advised odds ( shop around) there will be better odds going No max bets and stakes are listed with the bets. Post or crossbar to be hit by any conversion, penalty or drop kick attempt @ 2/1 £24 This is my favourite bet of all of these as there will be plenty of long range kicks and my knowledge of goal kicking comes in here. When lining up a tricky conversion or penalty or drop goal, what on earth do these dopey odds compilers imagine we are using to line up our shots at goal??? That’s right we are using the goalposts. That is why this is a banger of a bet and may well come up . The wetter and windier the better for this to come in.
