I'll often lay the last leg to get my stake back. Sometimes if a horse shortens a lot I'll lay it for my stake leaving a free bet. Or you can back against your selection where possible, is usually better value than a straight cash out.

Pull Again Green 1:15 Newbury (11/2 general). Looked a certain future winner when good runner up at Chepstow (only beaten by a good one). Won here over hurdles. Up 2lb, top weight and this looks another good race but looks sure to run his race and go close. 1pt win 11/2 Awful run...coincidentally drifted like a barge just before the off 💀 thought Inch House would do better but was a long way behind mine last time. P/L: -2.9pts

Almost Zilzalian! Winner sprouted wings there 🤯

Signed, for all the good it will do!

Bet 365 have 5 places e/w for Lunar Impact in the lucky last 7/1. Given there are only 12 runners and you can probably rule a few out, it gives a fair margin or error for Oisin Murphy.

Just noticed Bet365 have him on boost at 8/1, so I cashed out and took the 8's.

Georges Saint 3:15 Chepstow (7/1 Bet365). Could be starting on a very good mark over fences for Venetia Williams. Won a couple over fences in France as a 5 year old but been kept to hurdles so far over here. Gets nice bit of weight from the 3 market leaders. 1pt win 7/1 Bet365. Not terrible but a bit disappointing beaten a long way back in 4th. P/L -1.9pts

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

Giovinco 3.55 Carlisle (5/6 Bet365). Very impressive at Perth beating 135 rated horse by 12 lengths eased down. Looks a chaser and surprising if he doesn't win this on the way to bigger things. 1pt win 5/6 Got the 3rd last wrong and unseated the jockey, was looking likely to be a good battle with the winner. Both decent. P/L: -1.8

I'd like to bet 50/50 chances at 3/1 all day please 😆

Frankly I'm amazed and delighted that I won a week 😁 It had to be only the ex Forest players letting me down 😂

Stanley Pincombe 2:00 Exeter (e/w with Skybet 12/1 6places). This looks wide open, I've just gone for the jockey as she's done well pointing and ridden a few winners under rules as well (couple for Chris Gordon). Horse seems fairly well handicapped and could benefit from a bit of a break. Worth a try with Skybet paying 6 places. 0.5pts e/w with Skybet 12/1. Looked to have a big chance jumping the last but not to be, winner off for 493 days 🙃 P/l: -0.8 pts

John Ryan has brought over 2 horses to Plumpton from Tipperary (it's a long way), presumably they are expecting one or both of them to win. Flidais 2:15 10/3 Highland Sting 2:45 9/2 I've just done 0.5pts win on Flidais 10/3. German fav won easily. p/l: -1.5

Heross Du Seuil 1:20 Carlisle (5/1). Well backed when winning at Uttox and should have followed up at Southwell when a fast finisher took him by surprise. Still well handicapped judged on his juvenile ability. Think he holds Saccohandvanzetti on their Uttoxeter run and Kingston Bridge would have to improve after a break. Might cover my stake on Finsk River whose jockey takes off a very useful 8lb. 1pt win 5/1 Ran well until getting tired after 2 out, but was never beating the gambled on winner. p/l: -1pt

My Chiquita 1:53 Wetherby (2/1 Bet365). Good hurdles debut and should improve, so sets a fair standard for the Jonjo one to aim at and has been strong in the market. 1pt win 2/1. wins 🤑 fav got the last badly wrong but will obviously be winning soon. p/l: 0

£325,000? Jesus. What were the horses odds? Not sure I would ever get over that. 50k better than a slap in the face though. Most I've ever won was a couple of grand, think I need to try some mad accas this jumps season.

Rock House 2.10 Chepstow (4/1). Might end up looking silly opposing the Nicholl's odds on fav who ran a stormer when 3rd in the Champion Bumper. The Skelton horse couldn't have looked much more impressive at Worcester (3rd franked the form next time). Worth a try with the proven hurdles ability and recent run in his favour and hope that Captain Teague isn't just a levels above. Disappointing run, seemed well below the Worcester effort. 1pt win 4/1. P/l -2pts

Aye Right 1:35 Chepstow (7/2). Should be a good battle with The Brigadier's selection Good Boy Bobby, they are well matched on their Newcastle run a couple of years ago. I just prefer Aye Right as he's the slicker jumper and has been in some good races. Will find this easier and has dropped to a nice mark. Likes to front run which suits here and goes well fresh. 1pt win 7/2. Well that's tough to take, had the race won jumping the last must have been 1.01 on betfair but just ties up on the run in and gets caught 🤢 I'll try to keep track of my p/l for the ones I post in the racing chat from now on. 0.25 pts to 5 point scale, unless losses get too embarrassing.

I've not been following recently as I've been having a break before the Chepstow meeting tomorrow but Sam's picks are brilliant and I enjoy reading his thoughts on races. I suspect he is winning on the selections he puts up, especially with all the recent big price winners. If someone is that interested they could go through his selections and come up with a p/l. Either way I don't get the pile on, if you don't like what he's doing just skip over his posts.

Bet365 have The Brigadier's 3 pt selection Zoulu Chief (2:05 Newmarket) boosted to 7/4 at the moment.

Sunderland 2.37 Leeds 1.53 Watford 2.90 ALL IN! £3.13 win treble.

Hope you did the forecast Sam

The proper stuff starts at Chepstow a week on Friday! No need to resort to AW or Meydan 😁

Sunderland 2.25 West Ham 1.4 Ipswich 1.91 £3.12 win treble (hey big spender)

Should be decent ground for a change with a dry week forecast. I backed Act Impact when Zilzalian said at 8/1 and have laid it for my stake this week for a free bet. The Japanese one Through Seven Seas finished close to Equinox and I've seen a couple of people giving her a chance at 16/1,
