Had a small ew on Guns And Flowers in the 6pm 7f handicap at Kempton this evening at 30/1. Best run so far came over C&D two starts back in January, finished 5th but was only beaten 2 lengths and is now 3lbs lower, with Christian Howarth taking off a further 3lbs. Has since run poorly when well beaten at Newcastle but that run can be excused as was over a mile and not all horses take to that track as there can often be a strong headwind. On the aforementioned C&D run, Guns And Flowers finished around 7 lengths in front of Bits And Bobs who reopposes tonight, yet that one is half the price of my selection so looks a bit of value to run into a place. Gavi Di Gavi in the 7pm at 10/1 also may be worth backing as looks a solid ew bet. Finished a length behind today's second fav Lady Of Arabia last time out - that day was carrying 2lbs more than that rival, today carries 1lb less. More importantly, that last race was in a small field where there naturally wasn't much pace. Gavi Di Gavi was held up out the back and was the only horse that wasn't prominent that made the frame. More runners today should hopefully mean more pace which would suit his late finishing run-style.

I like Dobey and Noppert for this event. I'm not interested in anything shorter than 20s tbh and even Dobey is short. Noppert has been here and done it and is also playing well. He was very unlucky in the PC that Searle won. At big odds, O'Connor is the best value for me. Huge odds for a guy that has done well here on more than one occasion.

It's a shame Hugh Taylor was all over that winner but glad you got double figures - well done!

Leeds worth a nibble at 13/2? Seen Chelsea half a dozen times this season and yet to be impressed. Losing after extra time in the League Cup final 3 days ago will have taken something out of their legs. Leeds flying in the Championship and have had a couple more days rest.

I'm interested why you choose to bet in this way (backing two outcomes where you potentially pay two margins) rather than the single bet approach of laying Sassuolo or backing Napoli double chance. How do you split your stake on this particular bet? 4/5 and 14/5 dutches as 1.22 but Napoli DC is 1.25 best bookies price and 1.26 on the exchange. Unless you have a specific objective in how you split the stake it would be easier to take one of the other options and would give you better odds.

Managed to get my shortlist down to: Dobey 25/1 Ross Smith 50/1 Josh Rock 50/1 Jose De Sousa 100/1 Ryan Joyce 150/1 Mike De Decker 150/1

AW selection Kempton 6.00 SILVER TRUMPET

I like the chances of Trulie Good in the basement Classified race at 5.30 at Southwell tonight, currently 12/1 but wouldn’t surprise me if she were to be backed throughout the day. Owner trained and Bowring often does well at Southwell. Ran well in two handicaps at Southwell in Jan, firstly over 5f when only beaten 3/4 length by Street Life (who had a better draw that time, and reopposes tonight) and then a short head over 6f. Then ran in a classified, however that was over a mile so can put a line through that. Same weights with Street Life tonight but only because of that ones jockey claim and is also better drawn than SL tonight. There looks like there will be a lot of pace on too which will only help Trulie Good's chances as we know she gets further. These Classified races are generally full of out of form, low grade horses so it is quite unusual to see one with recent consistent form figures (224) at a double figure price dropping into this grade.

Xinyu Wang to beat Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova at 2.63 with Unibet I really liked Xinyu Wang against Tauson, she was moving really well and reading Tauson's serves like a book. With Pavlyuchenkova not playing for a while, I don't think she deserves to be such a favorite in this one, she can be streaky.

Little round the world trying out new way of selecting horses been doing ok this week so far 😂

Haddad Maia to beat Boulter - 1.75 with Betfair Boulter, discounting the United Cup friendly matches in December, has only won twice as underdog in almost two years apart from a few matches playing on grass last year.

Yates starting as captain for Forest, he's not scored for a while but is usually a threat from corners so I'll have a couple of quid on 1st scorer at 25/1 with Skybet.

To be honest I thought backing double chance you would win less but it is actually better so thankyou for recommending that.

Norwich let me down at Blackburn but I'll give them another chance against Sunderland who have been pretty poor lately. They haven't improved so far for sacking the manager, losing at home to an out of form Swansea. And will be without defender Dan Ballard through suspension and probably leading scorer Jack Clarke through injury. Norwich are better at home and I'd make them odds on to win this, so 21/20 with Bet365 looks ok to me.

Anastasija Sevastova to beat Julia Riera at 1.60 with Unibet Sevastova seems to be picking her spots well, and I do fancy her against Riera, who hasn't played much since the Aussie Open, and who had some luck against Li a week ago, as the latter was physically limited.

No problem, Fader ! 🙂

Williams void. Walker try enough for a profit on the night, especially as I'm willing to put my normal stake on a decent tip from somewhere else rather than the half stakes I'm using for my own selections this season! Makinson 13/10 and Swift 21/10 later, though I've had to take next bets prices.

There are already big movements on the handicap for Warrington against Hull FC on Friday. Hull are decimated by injuries and suspensions. In particular they will be without hooker Danny Houghton. This attracts me to a tryscorer bet on Warrington's hooker, Danny Walker. Walker is now first choice no. 9 at Warrington following the move of Daryl Clark to St Helens. He is available at 11/4 with Hills and skybet. I suspect that price will contract sharply.

I fancy Catalans -20.5 at 10/11. While the Broncos were spirited at Saints at times, they were carved open quite easily and in drier conditions than Friday, I suspect 21 or more will be within Catalans’ reach with relative ease.
