Ahead of next week's festivities at Cheltenham we have some competitive racing with ITV showing 7 races (just like the good old days with the ITV7 !). Here's my thoughts and bets on the septet. There's one race coming at you from Hereford, the 2.05 which has only attracted five runners. I've no strong thoughts on the race though the favourite Western General can be taken on now that he's up 10lb for his latest win on today's drying ground. We have Four from Sandown with the opener a cracking renewal of the EBF Novices Handicap Hurdle at 1.50. A case can be made for plenty but I am quite keen on the Paul Nicholls runner BELLIANO. He looks well treated on his second to the New Lion at Chepstow in October and has done little wrong since in winning at Ascot and Market Rasen. Nicholls has previous in the race winning it twice including with McFabulous who was well backed. He should be backed each way with five places a must. The 2.25 is the day's feature race in the Imperial Cup but it looks a wide open contest to me. No bets but I do think the top weight Lump Sun should run well. The 3.00 is the listed mares bumper and for me gives us the nap bet with the Alan King trained CHARISMA CAT who was a tad unlucky last time out at Huntingdon when she flew on the run in to only go down by a neck. 2 3/4L back in third was the re-opposing Dream Shadow who looks held. According to King in his 'Weekender' preview the mare will appreciate the drying ground. The 3.35 looks a tough enough handicap chase so no bets there. Onto Wolverhampton and I fancy one in the opener at 2.45, the Lincoln Trial. Richard Hughes's WHIP CRACKER is nicely berthed in stall 2. One from one on a synthetic surface, he's lightly raced and has kept good company in his short seven race career and he's worth backing each way especially with four places. The other race at the Midlands track is the listed 7F Lady Wulfrana Stakes in which the Roger Varian trained Jabaara could be the one to beat but again is a no bet race for me. BELLIANO 1 point each way 9/2 William Hill 1/5th 12345 WHIP CRACKER 1 point each way 7/1 William Hill 1/5th 1234 1/2 point each way double CHARISMA CAT 2 points win 9/4 William Hill14 points -

A very good morning all. A couple of placed efforts yesterday at 18/1 but sadly no winners to start the big month in the jumps calendar, so we are obviously straight into a bit of loss to start the month. The drying weather at today's venues has done me no favours in trying to put up a selection today but I just simply must have a go at the big race in Ireland, the Dublin National. This is mine for today: Leopardstown 4.37 BRANDT e/w @ 13/2 (hills/888) 4 places (rev. f/cst with One Horse Army / optional small single cover) STAMINA and GROUND both question marks for this one but providing it can maybe overcome those negatives then get's a small weight pull with One Horse Army on their recent duel. Will take a chance with this one for today. Best of luck with your bets today all. * Apologies, forgot to mention there are also some French jumps picks up for anyone who is interested.14 points -

Morning all. No winners yesterday on the jumps in France or Ireland so on we go and with the jumps today looking truly dreadful, I cannot resist a stab at the Irish Lincolnshire over at the Curragh to kick off the Irish turf flat season. Absolute minefield this one and even multiple picks would probably not be enough to nail the winner of this a lot of the time. For some fun and interest today these are my two: Curragh 3.45 RHYTHM KING e/w @ 20/1 (ladbrokes) 5 places Curragh 3.45 ORANDI @ 15/2 (rev. f/cst with Rhythm King) Totally get why Gleneagle Bay is favourite but not definite to me he will turn the form around with Rhythm King on their last time out duel. Orandi is interesting on it's last winning mark and has come in for a fair bit of support since last night (12/1 general to now best price 15/2). Good luck today with your bets all.13 points -

A very good morning to all. No luck yesterday and all in all an about a break even Cheltenham after winners on the first two days followed by blanks on the next two. Back today to the calmer more regulation stuff and it is an interesting enough Saturday to be having a few bets. These are mine for today : Kempton 2.10 PADDY IN THE CADDY @ 9/2 (general) Kempton 2.25 SAMUEL SPADE e/w @ 22/1 (pp/bv) 5 places Kempton 2.25 BLAZE THE WAY @ 6/1 (888 sport) (small rev. f/cst with Samuel Spade) Kempton 2.45 THE GRAY GHOST e/w @ 20/1 (unibet) 3 places Uttoxeter 3.35 EYED @ 6/1 (general) Best of luck with your bets today all. * Sorry forgot to say there are French selections posted for anyone who is interested.12 points -

Morning all. Off out for a bit later so early post for me today, after no advised bet yesterday again it's slim pickings for me today. Did consider a couple of OTB bets but don't want to risk any silly staking points at this stage of the month with probably plenty of good opportunities lying ahead. So with the excitement really building now towards the big kick off on March 11th there is only one bet for me today that hopefully will give us a run for our money: Thurles 5.00 CROSSING THE BAR e/w @ 5/1 (b365) 3 places (very small rev. f/cst with Betty Dutton). Not sure Rushmount should be quite as short as it is this morning, and providing it could find a bit more stamina reserve from somewhere would be more fearful of Betty Dutton, Best of luck to you all today. * Apologies for putting Beryl Dutton on original post, don't know where that came from.12 points -

Selection on a roll at moment with same pilot aboard. 4.32 Could be great each way play at a fair price early this morning. Best of luck with your bets today everyone.11 points -

Morning one and all. Good day yesterday with 13/2 advised winner BRANDT doing the business for us in the Dublin National at Leopardstown and so on to today. Although the racing is quite decent (for a Monday) and competitive today there is not really one horse I can put up as a SOLID selection. I will however reluctantly bring my OTB betting into play once again and chance just one at some sort of price. Leopardstown 2.10 GOODIE GIRL (otb) @ 7/1 (generally) (very small rev. f/cst with Mount Shenshan / optional very small single cover would leave up to yourselves) This one is not on a bad mark for the race and would have probably made the places last time out had it not fallen. Trip should be well within range on overall evidence and ground should not be a hinderance for it either today. Mount Shenshan is only of interest after winning last time out but GROUND and the EXTRA bit of distance today leave it with plenty to do. Sorry to be a record player on repeat but for NEW FOLLOWERS to the way I bet BUT (OTB) means I do not class the BET AS STRONG as inevitably the horse/s advised need a return to form to figure in the race. Best of luck today all.11 points -

I’ve knocked my ratings on the head . I’ve tinkered about here and there but I think they are flawed . Haven’t got round to it yet but I’m going to work on a criteria based selection system which I’m hoping can be more productive if not pretty profitable. I’ve got some ideas in mind which I need to jot down. Also there will be selections that I just pick because I like the horse or yard, or they just jump out as a good bet . I’m not a profitable gambler as of yet so I’d advise no one to follow any of my selections. Hopefully I can put some up next week and get warmed up for Cheltenham which will be super hard .11 points -

Many Thanks for your very kind words. The Hurricane is a very good horse and was the class horse of the race had ground to suit and nice weight with a claimer on top . My worry was that as it was first run for nearly 6 months and may have needed the run back if he had of been a single figure price i probably wouldn't have backed it but couldn't not back it at 25's. I find all members of the racing forum great members each and everyone contribute in the own unique way to make it great.10 points -

Morning all. Already posted some French selections for anyone interested and as already said with the jumps again today being a washout (unfortunately as so many other days), I am again looking elsewhere for bets. Yesterday was interesting as after the Irish Lincoln I was trying to devise my own personal ratings system for my own curiosity, and what I ended up devising would indeed have brought the winner ORANDI (won at 10/1, tipped up at 15/2). I'm not really a ratings system person and this was more than likely just pure luck, but I want to see how it plays out again tonight with a couple of races at Wolverhampton mainly just for fun (it's always fun to try something new). So, with FUN being the operative word I will be watching to see how these two races play out with an advised points stake just for curiosity: Wolverhampton 6.30 Triggered (.11) 12/1 (1 pt) South Dakota Sioux (.7) 9/2 (2 pts) Capuchinero (.6) 16/1 (1pt) Wolverhampton 7.00 Smasher (.3) 8/1 (2 pts) Asadjumeirah (.1) 11/2 (1 pt) Francisco (0.) 9/2 (1 pt) Were I adopting a ratings system we would be staking 8 points tonight, interested to see how this plays out.

A very good morning to all on Gold Cup day. No luck yesterday and seem to be banging my head against a brick wall this month to try and make some profit (good thing is up to today I am still 0.5 pts in profit on the month, LOL). Anyway hoping for better things in the second part of the month once we have got the general chaos of Cheltenham out the way, and we get back to the more mundane stuff. So for the last day I am pushing the boat out a bit pricewise and chancing my arm in the hope of a better second half of the month after today. These will be my plays for day four of the big one: Cheltenham 1.20 BLUE LEMONS e/w @ 14/1 (generally) 4 places Cheltenham 2.00 CRACKING RHAPSODY e/w @ 50/1 (generally) 5 places Cheltenham 3.20 INTENSE APPROACH e/w @ 16/1 (bet365/bet victor/ladbrokes) 4 places Cheltenham 4.40 SHEARER @ 9/1 (ladbrokes/unibet) * 4 points staked today.

Afternoon all. Agony yesterday with Goodie Girl who came to win her race, only to crash out at the last when they race appeared at her mercy. Those are the breaks though and it continues to be tough to find any solid betting options with the jumps racing in UK and Ireland being pretty limited most times. It was either no bet at all or chancing a couple of OTB (not strong at all) bets today for interest so as usual that has won over boredom: Market Rasen 4.05 SAILED AWAY (otb) e/w @ 17/2 (hills) 3 places Market Rasen 5.15 COURT CIAN (otb) @ 4/1 (generally) Summary: 4.05 Ground, distance and fitness all question marks??? But it's handicap mark is fair enough for the contest. 5.15 Quite a hefty weight in defeat latest, useful 7lb conditional may be of help on it today. TREAD CAREFULLY THESE HORSES NEED TO RETURN TO FORM, something I would never want to consistently rely on. Best of luck everyone today.10 points -

First day of the turf Flat season in Ireland and I usually have a go at the first two year old race, the maiden at 1.40 Obviously no form to go on ! At the moment there are 8 runners so I'm going for an EW shot ......... Army Leave EW at 28/1 bet365 The trainer has had 2 runners on the AW at Dundalk in the last fortnight and they both won and the Post notes that the trainer can get one ready at home for a debut run The sire's offspring tend to do best on soft ground which it is at the Curragh On the down side this race is sometimes won by horses who end up in Group race company and my selection doesn't look like that level on breeding and cost (cheap yearling) so this might be his best chance of getting on the score sheet Hopefully there won't be a non runner to reduce the places to 2 ........ in which case my horse will definitely finish 3rd9 points

A very good morning to all. Here we go then, cue the roar and let the show begin. Being the extremely difficult meeting that Cheltenham is I am allowing myself sometimes if warranted three darts at some of the big field handicaps (had I been using a ratings system would be at least three). Even then you will still be unlikely to get the winner, given the lottery nature of some of the massive field races you will encounter at times this week. These are my plays today with brief comments: (Ultima Handicap Chase) Cheltenham 2.40 HENRYS FRIEND @ 12/1 MALINA GIRL @ 14/1 MYRETOWN @ 11/1 Have listed these in order of preference and will be playing reverse forecasts and tri-cast combos to boot too. The Changing Man was very close to making the list too but will hope at least one of these three goes well. (H & N Wines Juvenile Hurdle) Cheltenham 4.40 LIAM SWAGGER @ 12/1 SOLAR DRIVE e/w @ 50/1 (unibet) 5 places SLURRICANE e/w @ 33/1 (general) 5 places As above but would leave any combination forecast bets to anyone who fancies it as these are rather optimistic picks apart from the first one. Best of luck with your bets today everyone.9 points -

Morning all. Only one horse each way placed on the flat yesterday so it's back to the jumps for me today to try and get a winner with the mortgage payment due on Tuesday (lol). These will be my plays for today: Ascot 2.45 STAR OF GUITING e/w @ 7/1 (888 sport) 3 places Opened at 12/1 and the money has come fairly heavily since probably as the horse should not be inconvenienced by the probable quick ground it will get today at the course. Did look at BENVOY first but his good ground form so far leaves a bit to be desired, but possibly dangerous to totally discount. Downpatrick 2.55 A MERE BAGATELLE e/w @ 11/2 (skybet) 4 places Very interesting 8 year old for Shark Hanlon who ran a cracker on return to action over a longer trip at Limerick last time out. His son keeps the ride and though this race is a much shorter distance test I still think the horse should run well with ground conditions likely to suit. Ascot 4.30 NORTHERN POET @ 5/2 (generally) Another one down in trip on his last victory and up in class to boot but I think this fella could be up to this tougher test, Credo is the obvious one they all have to beat. Ascot 5.05 COURT CIAN @ 5/2 (bet365/hills) Put in a right stinker at Market Rasen on his penultimate run but back to form latest, and I really do like the 7lb claimer who takes the ride again after winning on it last time out. The trip is a question mark but decent mark for the race and ground shoudl also be in his favour so rates a player for me. Best of luck with your bets today all. * Also put up two jumps selections in France if anyone wants to take a butcher's.8 points -

Good morning all. A 7/1 advised winner yesterday with JAZZY MATTY and so the show rolls on to day three of the festival. Simply due to general volume of runners today may be the toughest day yet to try and find a winner but of course we will give it a go with a few of the races. These will be my plays today: Cheltenham 1.20 JUBILEE ALPHA @ 10/1 (hills) Cheltenham 2.00 PIC ROC @ 11/1 LORD OF THUNDER @ 11/1 Cheltenham 2.40 CATCH HIM DERRY @ 12/1 D ART D ART @ 7/1 I will be playing SINGLES, DOUBLES, TREBLES AND REVERSE FORECASTS WHERE APPLICABLE on all these selections. Hopefully those bet instructions are clear, happy to clarify anything if anybody is unsure. * Five horses so will be staking 5 points on my profit/loss ledger today. Best of luck today, all who play.8 points -

Morning all. No luck yesterday and was impressed with the ease in which Rushmount carried top weight to victory in Ireland so was wrong to under estimate it yesterday. Moving on to today unfortunately NO MAIN SELECTIONS as simply nothing strong enough to put forward as a single win bet. The only bet I would suggest for today is: Exeter 3.10 King Of The Lake / Imaginarium in a reverse forecast pays just over 7/1 and 9/1 with Bet365. Would not be surprised if this possible forecast goes either way. Best of luck with your bets today all.8 points
