Buveur D'Air 14.10 Newcastle 3 Pts Win @ 1\4 (bog)
Has met with defeat just once over hurdles and the best around last season, winning the Champion Hurdle and Aintree Hurdle. Could well have even more to offer and hard to envisage defeat.

Brahms De Clermont 12.50 Taunton 3 Pts Win @ 1.5 (bog)
Fairly useful hurdler. Latest win in hurdle at Exeter in May. Second of 3 in novice hurdle (4/6) at Fakenham (20f, good to soft) 41 days ago. Sets the standard. 

1st @ 2.38 - Tracked leaders, 2nd halfway, 3rd 5f out, travelled well to challenge 2f out, ridden to lead 1 1/2f out, soon asserted, kept on strongly inside final furlong

Spiritofthegames 15.30 Lingfield 1 Pt Win @ 13\8 (bog)
Point winner who landed a maiden/novice hurdle in a 4-race novice campaign over hurdles. Revised handicap mark looks very fair and there's the potential for improvement, too. 

Dieg Man 14.50 Sedgefield 3 Pts Win @ 1.62 (bog)
Fairly useful form over hurdles in France. Left Y. Fouin €200,000 in July, stays 2¼m and is an intriguing runner making his UK debut for a good yard. 

15.40 Southwell - Belgravian - 1 Pt Win @ 5\2 Bet365

15.40 Southwell - Belgravian - 1 Pt Win @ 5\2 Bet365

1st @ 1.5 - Made all, jumped well, clear 2nd, drew further clear after 2 out, impressive

easiest winner of the day

1st @ 1.11 - Soon led, jumped high and pecked 1st, went on from 10th, stayed on well straight, very easily
Samcro 13.05 Navan 3 Pts Win @ 1.25 (bog)
Highly promising sort. Facile winner of 22-runner novice hurdle (1/5) at Punchestown (16f, good to soft) on hurdles bow 38 days ago, cruising clear. Exciting prospect.

Mercenaire 15.25 Exeter 1 Pt Win @ 11\8 (bog)
Well held in an outing in France in April but given a break and could easily prove a different proposition now. This a very winnable race and market support would look highly significant. 
 
 

15.30 Ascot - Verdana Blue - 1 Pt Win @ 4\1 (bog)

Sorry mate, will add it on (54.37).

1st  - Close up, chased leader 3 out, led between last 2, ridden and soon clear, comfortable
 

 

good luck ma\te

Warming up here for the start at Ascot on the 24th ... hoping for a profit on low price winners to make it 5 years in a row and 8 out of 9

IAL is "increase at a loss"  that is stake.
Its the same staking strategy as I am using in the thread "Xtc Naps in conjunction with PL Tips" which I am in the process of updating.
 

1st @ 11\10 - Made all, ridden over 2f out, pressed from over 1f out, stayed on, always just doing enough to hold the 2nd
4th - Tracked leaders, soon 3rd and a little keen, closed up and on terms 3f out, headed 2f out, remained prominent until no extra and one pace final furlong
4th - Tracked leading trio, closer in 3rd at 6th, 2nd and every chance when lost 2nd 3 out, weakened next
1st @ 11\10 - Soon led, went on approaching halfway, reduced lead but stayed on well final furlong
 

As it stands as of tonight:

 

Billy H,
Your selections are great - everything over 100% ROI. I previously mentioned that when Sam Turner won the newspaper tipsters competiton, he was running about 96%.
We all have our style of bet - which usually means - do you want a chance of winning big; or do you want to win often. I'm in the latter group.
I also love an "easy" selection where I can rely on a website, etc for a decent shot with little thinking - whether it be horses, football or american football. If I have the time, I'll add in my judgement.
Keep up the good work.
