5th & 1st @ 2\1 on Wednesday
No No Maestro 15.40 Uttoxeter 1 Pt Win @ 6\4 (bog)
C&D winner who arrives on a hat-trick after backing it up with 20f Hexham victory in August. Front-runner is nudged up just 2 lb so he has to be taken seriously. 
Bright Idea 16.45 Dundalk 1 Pt Win @ 11\8 (bog)
Useful gelding. Winner at Killarney in May. Creditable second of 11 in handicap at this course (12f, 4/1) 14 days ago. Yard having good spell and sound claims again. 

5th on Monday
Rockfire 13.30 Nottingham 1 pt win @ 9/4 (bog)
Mighty Meggsie 14.20 Punchestown 1 pt win @ 2/1 (bog)

1st @ 15\8 & 3rd yesterday
Liangel Hope 17.30 Chelmsford 1 Pt Win @ 6\5 (bog)
Promising type. 16/1, second of 12 in maiden at Wolverhampton (6.1f) on debut 25 days ago, clear of rest. Open to improvement and he looks the one to beat. 
Favori Logique 14.30 Fairyhouse 1 Pt Win @ 15\8 (bog)
Three wins from 6 runs this season. Running well fell in handicap chase at Sligo (25.7f, good, 8/15) 24 days ago, travelling strongly. Has to be taken seriously.

1st @ Evens & 2nd yesterday
Nina the Terrier   15.55 Chepstow 1 Pt Win @ 15\8 (bog)
Bumper winner who looked potentially useful when making a winning hurdles bow at Warwick in May. The one to beat under a penalty. 
Fissa 15.27 Downpatrick 1 Pt Win @ 10\11 (bog)
Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Creditable second of 14 in novice hurdle (7/5) at Clonmel (19.9f, good) 148 days ago. Solid claims. 
** Fissa was 5\4 last night when I picked the selections, will stick with him at 10\11 even though I usually don't do odds on. NR has brought the price down.

2nd & 5th Tuesday
Lindwall 20.30 Chelmsford 1 Pt WIn @ Evens (bog)
Fluffed lines on Salisbury handicap debut in May but he's been a big improver on AW after a break, winning at Lingfield (13f) and Wolverhampton (14f) last month. Likely more to come yet.
Notre Belle Bete 14.20 Thurles 1 Pt WIn @ 6\4 (bog)
Fairly useful colt. 11/4 and tongue strap on for 1st time, creditable second of 15 in maiden at Cork (7f, soft) 9 days ago, best work finish. Good shout. 

5th Tuesday
Catch My Breath 19.30 Chelmsford @ 5\2 (bog)
Confirmed promise of last run when winning 11-runner handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) last week, plenty in hand. Remains well treated on old form, so hard to oppose under a 5 lb penalty.
Treble - 1st Leg - 1 Pt Win
Double - 1st Leg - 1 Pt Win

4th today
Reelemin 19.30 Kempton @ 3\1 (bog)
14/1, much improved up in trip when winning 1m nursery at Ffos Las 9 days ago, travelling strongly and well on top at the finish. Sort to go on improving, and he's a big player under a 6 lb penalty.
Treble - 1st Leg - 1 Pt Win

Double Up 1st @ 6\4 & 1st @ 9\4 ....... 
Island Nation 15.05 Huntingdon 1 Pt Win @ 5\4 (bog)
Fair middle-distance handicapper on Flat for Heather Main. Opened hurdles account in impressive fashion at Perth in July and matched that form over the same C&D since. Cheekpieces on.
Future Romance 14.20 Galway 1 Pt Win @ 11\8 (bog)
Landed both her starts on the Flat this year and must be taken seriously on handicap hurdle debut. 

4th & 1st @ 11\10 today
Miquelon 13.00 Lingfield 1 Pt Win @ 6\4 (bog)
Career best when winning 10-runner handicap at this C&D (AW, 3/1) 13 days ago, easily. Thriving since the cheekpieces have been fitted, and he's likely to take all the beating again. 
Swift Flight 17.35 Tipperary 1 pt WIn @ 9\4 (bog)
Fairly useful colt. Remains a maiden after 7 Flat runs. 5/1, creditable third of 22 in maiden at the Curragh (6f, soft) 44 days ago, never nearer. Expected to be bang there. 

As I wrote (can't exactly remember where), I have a National Hunt handicap selection method that has worked well for some time now and am willing to post selections after I have placed my bet. There are not selections every day, but the strike rate has been solid around 50% or so. Prices are decent (average around 3/1+). Hoping that it continues now posting on here.
Todays selection - bet365 - B.O.G.
4.05 Hex - Graystown - 9/2 ... lost ... fell 2 out when challenging for the lead.

Gin On Lime 15.45 Tipperary @ 5\2 (bog)
Useful chaser. 7/4, creditable a length second of 8 to Fan De Blues in Gr 3 chase at Galway (18.2f, good) 66 days ago, going with enthusiasm. Should continue to give a good account.

Hello Judge 15.00 Kelso 1 Pt Win @ Evens (bog)
€65,000 3-y-o, Martaline gelding. Last of 5 finishers sole start in points but perfect start under Rules when landing an 18f novice hurdle here in April. Type to do better again this campaign. 
Robyndeglory 13.10 Killarney 1 pt Win @ 11\10 (bog)
Fair hurdler. Remains a maiden after 9 hurdle runs. 11/4, last of 7 in minor event hurdle at Limerick (20f, good) 73 days ago. Visor on 1st time. Difficult to oppose on pick of form. 

Proud to win such great and well run competition and thanks Mclarke for the time you put into this?

Thanks Lads, good to see you are making a few quid while the going is good.
Harry's Bar winning yesterday equals my best of 5 consecutive winners in Ireland. It also brings the Irish tips into profit for Year 5, although still at a small loss overall. Will update tables later.
Double Up again yesterday ..... 1st @ Evens & 1st @ 15\8  
Meadram 20.30 Wolverhampton 1 Pt WIn @ 11\10 (bog)
Showed much improved form to get off the mark upped in trip on handicap debut in C&D contest 24 days ago, coming clear with plenty in hand. Up just 3 lb and can win again. 
O Connell Street 15.55 Gowran Park 1 Pt WIn @ 15\8 (bog)
11/10, career best when winning 5-runner handicap chase at Perth (20.1f, good to soft) 9 days ago, cruising clear. Looks a natural over fences and should take all the beating once more. 

Another Double Up ...... 1st @ 5\4 & 1st @ 5\2  
Mister Tickle 15.55 Fontwell 1 Pt Win @ Evens (bog)
Has clicked with blinkers enlisted the last twice, bagging handicap chases from the front at Newton Abbot and over this C&D. A further 3 lb rise may not prevent the hat-trick. 
Harry's bar 16.45 Dundalk 1 Pt Win @ 15\8 (bog)
Smart gelding. 14/1, bit below form 1¾ lengths fifth of 15 to Master Matt in listed race at Tipperary (5f, good) 36 days ago, barely adequate test. Yard having good spell. Sets the benchmark.

Alrehb 15.20 Lingfield 1 Pt Win @ 5\4 (bog)
Promising sort. 11/1, second of 11 in minor event at Newcastle (8f) on debut 27 days ago, running on. Looks likely to improve and he's the one to beat. 
Lord Gillygooley 16.00 Clonmel 1 Pt Win @ 5\2 (bog)
Blinkered for 1st time, good second of 15 in handicap hurdle (9/4) at Listowel (24f, good) 6 days ago. Shortlist material.

Ginato 16.20 Catterick 1 Pt Win @ 11\8 (bog)
Got off the mark in first-time blinkers at Ripon (6f) in July and he arrives here on the back of a trio of creditable efforts, runner-up behind another in good form at Redcar latest. One to consider.
Tide of Time 16.35 Bellewstown 1 Pt Win @ 13\8 (bog)
Very good second of 10 in handicap at this course (5f, good, 7/2) 36 days ago. Expected to be bang there again.
