    Weather could have a say yet again tomorrow so will be brief with these. There are 4 big price singles plus a treble.
    Torquay v Halifax
    Don't get why Torquay are being so well backed here against a bang in form Halifax side. Unbeaten in 7 in the league, whilst Torquay have only won twice in 10. Torquay have not played since Feburary 1st either so could easily be ring rusty going into this game. Given Halifax are 3rd and looking strong for a play-off place and they are playing Torquay who are only 5 points clear of the relegation zone. 3/1 on away win is a huge price.
    Chester v Brackley
    Another baffling price change as somehow Brackley are favourites to win at Chester. This is a Chester side who have only lost twice at home all season and won 10 times and beat leaders Kings Lynn on Tuesday. Brackley haven't won in 5 now and when I saw the prices I thought Brackley were at home. Chester at 21/10 is huge and for me the prices are the wrong way round.
    Chelmsford v Slough
    Taking advantage of another massive drift as Slough are over 2/1 to beat Chelmsford having been as short at 11/10. Chelmsford managed to beat Tonbridge on Monday, but it was a poor game that could have gone either way. They still look a poor side low on confidence to me and Slough are 2nd having lost just twice in their last 10 games. They look a big price as I would have them as favourites.
    Salisbury v Hendon
    Happy to take a chance on Hendon here as they have won 6 on the bounce now and Salisbury have only managed to beat Dorchester in their last 5 games. Don't think there is much between these sides so 3/1 on an away win is big.
    Treble
    Basford host Atherton who had to postpone a game in the week because an outbreak of mumps went through the side. Every chance they will be weakened here in what is already a very tough game for them anyway. Royston should beat a Hednesford side who are dropping off big time and in the same division Tamworth should outclass Biggleswade. The treble is 2.7/1 with Marathon.

    After thinking we might see some Cheltenham clues at Thurles today in the end I don't think we did.
    God knows what Tom Hamilton thought he was doing on Mighty Stowaway as he set a stupid gallop along with Wounded Warrior. Given how soon he dropped away I was surprised to actually see him finish 5th and fairly play to Wounded Warrior to finish 3rd. The winner looked like he had no chance for most of the race, but managed to go slightly quicker than the 2nd after the last in a tiring finish. It could be said he gave a boost to Staker Wallace's form as last time out he was a 9L 4th to Lite Duties who was beaten by Staker Wallace on Sunday. I'm not sure given the way this race was run can be used as a solid guide though to be honest. He was beaten 49L by Caid Du Berlais at Punchestown last year and if anything he highlights that the Irish don't have any strength in depth in this division at the moment. I guess they might go to Cheltenham with him now, but I wouldn't fancy him.
    Samurai Cracker fell at the last at Naas last time when still in contention in the race won by Billaway although I'm not sure he would have been in the first 3. He looked the winner for a long way, but was out on his feet after the last and he is really going to know he had a race. This did qualify him for Cheltenham should connections want to go down that route, but hard to think this was the ideal prep for a race in 3 weeks time.
    Stand Up And Fight drifted like a barge all day, until betting opened on track and he was really well backed. That suggested connections were expecting a big run, but they got the opposite. I know it was his first run of the season and he was entitled to get tired in the ground, but he was beaten a long way out. He did travel quite well off the strong pace, but it wasn't really what you wanted to see as regards to Cheltenham. It will be interesting to see if he features in the entries next week, but Enda is really going to have to work his magic to get him ready for Cheltenham. Ucello Conti finished 1 place in front of Stand Up And Fight last year, but he seems to have gone backwards after finishing a 4L 2nd to Macs Legend on his seasonal return. I would be surprised if Gordon decided to send him over after this.
    The one I haven't mentioned is Some Man. He had been prominent in the betting and was quietly fancied for Cheltenham, but he can't now qualify for the race. His wins in points didn't come in opens and he needed to finish 1st or 2nd here to qualify. He was never put into the race at all although it seems that was because the horse was hating the ground according to connections. On the face of it though it did just seem a terrible ride or that a he was being ridden with Cheltenham in mind. So there is no Cheltenham for him, but he is one to bare in mind for the other Festivals to come.

    I am not sure what to make of the Wetherby race yesterday. What I will start off by saying is that it was a big step up from Minella Rocco from what he did at Warwick and clearly he now deserves to go to Cheltenham and he is now into 6 for the Foxhunter although Hazel Hill still heads the market at is a best of 11/2. This is the first time that Hazel Hill has had to make the running and the only other time he was beaten was in a 3 runner point so small field might not be ideal for him especially when up against a good horse like Minella Rocco or Garde Ville who beat him in the point. Obviously his jumping was a big issue as he did a Creevytennant and jumped out to the right at most of his fences and in some cases massively so. It is something he has done before, he did it at Cheltenham when he won at May although it wasn't as bad as this. Clearly if he did the same in the Foxhunter he won't be winning. Maybe in a bigger field it will keep him straighter. Alex got off and said there was something wrong with him so perhaps something will come to light as very often it can be that a horse is feeling something if they jump like that. He clearly lost many lengths during the race and was more than he was beaten by, but Minella Rocco did run out a cosy enough winner. It was a very clever ride from Derek, as you would expect, as he went looking for the better ground out wide. Impossible to know how big a difference that made, but clearly Derek thought it was worth doing. 
    We are left with more questions than answers though. If Hazel Hill does have an issue then Minella Rocco hasn't achieved as much as it looks like he has. Will Minella Rocco actually go and perform back in a big field in a race that is likely to be run at a strong pace? That would be my main concern about him myself. If Hazel Hill is fine then will he jump better getting a lead and in a big field as he did in the race last year? My guess is that he will, but you couldn't be confident at the same time. Does this mean that Minella Rocco will be his ride over Stand Up And Fight? If so then that will be a big plus for Minella Rocco.
    I am leaning towards thinking this form isn't going to be the most trustworthy and that if they both line up at Cheltenham we might well see it reversed. Clearly the fact that Hazel Hill is still favourite or joint favourite suggests the odds compilers see it that way as well. Fair to say though that Minella Rocco is a much bigger player than I thought he would be prior to yesterday.
    Virak is in the betting with 4 bookies and is as short as 16/1 after his win at Wincanton. I just think he beat a non stayer though and he didn't do a great deal when he ran in this race a couple of years ago. Earth Leader is still in the betting with some bookies, but surely won't be going anywhere near this race.
    Art Mauresque was well beaten in a point this afternoon at 1/3 suggesting I was right to be concerned about him staying the trip. I would imagine they might look towards the Aintree version now.
    On Saturday last season's John Corbet winner Law Of Gold won at Horseheath on his seasonal return. It was a pleasing enough return and he is clearly progressive, but I still think at this stage he has a fair bit to find to get really competitive in this. The Stratford win is his only start under rules so far which would also be a concern.
    Bob And Co was declared at Hereford but that was called off and then surprisingly he didn't got to Wincanton. He is entered at Bangor on Friday.
    Billaway has been backed since the last update and he is now in single figures after that win at Naas. My doubts about how trustworthy that form is still stands, but when you look at the others near the top of the market you have to say he deserves to be around the price he is based on that win.
    At this stage I am happy with my Caid du Berlais bet and he is still 14/1 with Betfair, Paddy Power and Betfred so the price is still there if you have yet to get involved.

    I agree just two winners so far this season is poor. 4 seasons ago it took me 11 races to back a winner and I ended that season over 100 points up which is the best season I have ever had. The first half of last season was the best run I have ever had and it was never going to be possible to keep that up long term. From memory once that good run had ended I think I only made a small profit for the rest of the season. I have always made a profit but will never guarantee one. Maybe I am due a bad one, but I remain confident come the end of May I will be showing a profit. It is always worse when the bad run happens at the start of a season as it means you are in minus figures and that is always hard for a tipster mentally.

    Chelmsford v Tonbridge
    This game looks set to go ahead with the pitch being reported that it is OK and I like the look of the away team here who are a big price to beat an out of form Chelmsford. Granted Tonbridge have only won once away from home in the league all season, but that did come against Braintree on their penultimate away game. In their last 5 away games they have only lost once and their overall form has seen them lose just once in their last 8 games. Chelmsford have lost 3 on the bounce and granted they have all been away from home. At home they have lost just twice all season, but with no manager at the moment they do seem to be really struggling and it could be a while before we see a new manager as they couldn't agree terms with their preferred choice. At 29/10 the away win certainly looks value to me as I would have it around a point shorter.

    A couple of bets tonight. Not time to go into great deal but Kings Lynn are over priced at 9/4 with bet365 to win at Chester. As much as I want York to win the league Kings Lynn ought to be picking up the title and I don't get why they are such a big price to win tonight. The other bet is Enfield who seem to be finding their form again who are travelling to a badly out of form Bishops Stortford in the Isthmian Premier.

    Just the 4 runners at Doncaster tomorrow and none of them can qualify for Cheltenham. Band Of Blood showed little at Musselburgh earlier in the month so I don't fancy him. Just A Par was 2nd at Bangor in a point last month, but he was well beaten and it suggested he is nowhere near a 135 horse at the moment. He might have needed the run, but at 13 chances are he is just firmly on the downgrade. So I think the race is between the two horses who finished 3rd and 4th at Taunton in the first hunter chase of the season.
    Captain Cattistock 4/7 favourite for is at the time of writing and he finished a couple of lengths behind Mustmeetalday at Taunton. He was a bit disappointing for me and as much as he might have got caught out by the sharpness of the track he also didn't jump great at times either. After two good runs in handicaps at Fontwell and Chepstow it was a drop in form and clearly qualification for Cheltenham took a back step after it. Back up in trip round here should suit better and if he can get back to the levels he showed earlier in the season he ought to win.
    I thought Mustmeetaladay was eye-catching at Taunton as he stayed on to great affect to nearly finish 2nd. A stiffer test of stamina should suit him as well, but he ran terribly at Wincanton which was disappointing. He does have an in and out look to his form though so maybe we shouldn't be surprised he put in a lesser performance that day. If he runs like that he hasn't got a hope, but given he beat Captain Cattistock fair and square at Taunton it is hard to see why he should be 9/2. That price more than factors in the fact he is inconsistent and there just shouldn't be the big difference in price for me. So hopefully he will be on a going day as he has to be the bet at the odds.

If he runs like that he hasn't got a hope, but given he beat Captain Cattistock fair and square at Taunton it is hard to see why he should be 9/2. That price more than factors in the fact he is inconsistent and there just shouldn't be the big difference in price for me. So hopefully he will be on a going day as he has to be the bet at the odds.

    A couple of bets tonight. Not time to go into great deal but Kings Lynn are over priced at 9/4 with bet365 to win at Chester. As much as I want York to win the league Kings Lynn ought to be picking up the title and I don't get why they are such a big price to win tonight. The other bet is Enfield who seem to be finding their form again who are travelling to a badly out of form Bishops Stortford in the Isthmian Premier.

    Chelmsford v Tonbridge
    This game looks set to go ahead with the pitch being reported that it is OK and I like the look of the away team here who are a big price to beat an out of form Chelmsford. Granted Tonbridge have only won once away from home in the league all season, but that did come against Braintree on their penultimate away game. In their last 5 away games they have only lost once and their overall form has seen them lose just once in their last 8 games. Chelmsford have lost 3 on the bounce and granted they have all been away from home. At home they have lost just twice all season, but with no manager at the moment they do seem to be really struggling and it could be a while before we see a new manager as they couldn't agree terms with their preferred choice. At 29/10 the away win certainly looks value to me as I would have it around a point shorter.
    Tonbridge 1pt @ 29/10 with BetVictor
    Not looked at Tuesday's games yet so any further bets will be added at a later point.

    Another good day last Saturday kept up the good record so far this month. As for tomorrow the weather is set to be pretty shocking and I suspect plenty of games will get called off. I have a shortlist of 6 teams, but I am going to just put 2 bets up for now as I think both of these games will go ahead. If any of the other 4 do go ahead I will add them tomorrow.
    Notts County v Woking
    County seem very confident this will go ahead and they are in very good form at the moment losing just one of their last 10 league games. They also had a good win last week in the FA Trophy beating Yeovil 2-1 despite having 10 men from just before half time and then 9 men for the last 20 minutes. Woking haven't played since the first day of the month, but their away form has been dreadful as they have lost 6 on the bounce conceding 18 and scoring just 4. County should be confident of picking up another 3 points here.
    Dorking v Chelmsford
    More than happy to oppose Chelmsford again who lost to Step 4 Aveley in the Trophy last week. They have struggled away from home all season anyway. Dorking also lost in the Trophy, but they were playing Fylde and gave it a good go. They are very good at home having lost just 3 games and with this match on a 3G pitch only the wind will stop it from being on. I would make them odds on so a shade of odds against looks a decent price.
    Notts County 2.5pts @ Evs with Bet365 and William Hill
    Dorking 2pts @ 21/20 with William Hill and BetVictor
