1st and 2nd ...nice runs despite weather 

Cheers Richard I'll be sure to take you up on that as I'm off to Chester races in a couple of weeks time.. could do with winning some beer tokens!! 

I've got my serious head on at the mo lol....I'm being more selective about bets and I might rate 6-7 races and only back one race and its showing its the right thing to do been a good couple of weeks .....well over 300pts profit and the near miss Saturday could have been considerably more ......I've never been more focussed than I am now ...I  now have rock solid rules that I won't deviate from so no reason I can see that the winners won't just keep coming ....just waiting for some decent big races now to get stuck into....
I think the people on here don't get the credit they deserve ....I love to read people's posts and opinions on races and billyhills and others are the backbone of the forum and put in a lot of hard work to keep things moving ....It's much appreciated I know by all..

By the way if anyone has a vested interest in a particular big race i dont mind rating and helping anyone win some cash ..cant guarntee i can rate cos im averaging 50 hours week at mo but doesnt take long to rate a race  and i do enjoy it so in my quiet moments i can usually knock out a race or two so if people are interested in tackling a certain race then ill try my best just drop me a line or request on here whenever it arises ...even if just an extra angle to consider before placing your hard earned cash 

2.25 York: Class 2 Handicap, 1m 6f
Irish St. Leger winner Jukebox Jury has an outstanding record with his first three year old's in Britain. Contributing towards this has been the Mark Johnston trained Dominating, who ha won already three times this year. 
In fact in his last five starts Dominating has either won or finished second. The handicapper starts to catch up and going up significantly in class doesn't make things easier. 
Still, at a big price and off a very low weight, with conditions likely to suit, he can run a big race and cause an upset I feel.
Selection: 
10pts win - Dominating @ 33/1 Paddy Power 
......
3.35 York: Class 2 Ebor Handicap, 1m 6f 
Normally it is not my style punting the favourite in a big Handicap as the Ebor undoubtedly is, however there is so much to like about Flymetothestars that I can't ignore the facts and feel despite being plenty short enough for a race like this there is still juice in the price.
Why? Well, you can try and read what you want into his form this season, whether a third in the Northumberland Plate was a slight disappointment or not, but fact is this lad is the least exposed in the field, who tackles turf for the first time from the lower end of the weight scale. 
There is very chance for further improvement to come. He is a well bred son of Sea The Stars, so ground and trip aren't an issue at all and his older sons are progressing. 
The draw is an issue so is the fact Flymetothestars can be very keen early on. Also does missing the kick become a habit? Nonetheless if the stars fall right then he is very hard to beat indeed.
Selection:
10pts win - Flymetothestars @ 8/1 Bet365
.......
3.50 Newmarket: Class 2 Handicap, 1m 6f
The three year old Hochfeld has a prime chance here returning to the most suitable 1m 6f trip. His runner-up performance behind Tor at Hamilton is a very strong piece of form. A return to that will see him hard to beat here.
He is still progressing after a busy juvenile campaign won twice at the beginning of the year and followed up with the strong mentioned performance at Hamilton. A slightly disappointing run at Goodwood the last time, though conditions may have been against him.
Selection:
10pts win - Hochfeld @ 4/1 Bet365
......
4.15 Chester: Class 3 Handicap, 7.5f 
This today is arguably the toughest test of his long career, yet Echo Of Lightning appears still improving at the grand age of 7 as he has won already three times this year and has been impressively consistent over the last 12 months.
He has to defy a career highest mark and an impressive display at Pontefract earlier this month, though he might have been helped by the rain and small field.
Nonetheless the numbers tell he improved in each of his last five runs and with a decent draw, a bit of cut in the ground and a sort of specialist trip at a specialist track, he can run big I feel. 
Selection:
10pts win - Echo Of Lightning @ 15/2 Skybet
.......
7.55 Redcar: Class 6 Handicap, 6f
At 16's I'm happy to take a punt on Majestic Stone who lost his race at the start when seen last and has to bounce back from that. He's never been the best starter, so that is an obvious concern, however the return to quick ground is a big plus.
His best performance to date came on good to firm at Thirsk in April. He was unlucky the day and the form has been franked. Up four pounce from there he has confirmed he is up to that sort of mark the next time, however with cut in the ground. 
Slight change of gear today, better ground and hopefully a better start may him see go close at a big price. 
Selection:
10pts win - Majestic Stone @ 16/1 Bet365

Well done Tipsterix 

best of luck guys

Excellent stuff

2.15 Ffos Las: Class 5 Handicap, 6f
Incentive hasn't been able to get her head in front in nice starts, though she got mightily close at Bath back in May over 5.5f in soft conditions. That form looks rock solid with the horses around her that day franking it. 
She hasn't been able to reproduce this effort since, however a good fortnight ago at Salisbury she made an awful lot early on in softish conditions and was hampered in the closing stages. Seeing it in that context means it wasn't as bad a performance as the 5th place suggested. 
The three year old filly will enjoy a career lowest mark at Ffos Las on Tuesday. Cut in the ground and simple, straight 6f should suit her well. 
Selection:
Incentive @ 12/1 Bet365

Well done to the winners

 

Let's have a bit of fun today

Beckford  99.08
Us navy flag  99.07 
Sioux nation  99.07 
O brien has taken this for past 3 years and is 5 handed today ...Ryan has chosen Sioux nation so has to be respected but I prefer the filly actress who has been overlooked .,..she has been showing rapid improvement and posted a very decent time recently suggesting there's more to come and gets 3lb from the males so interesting race today
 
410 curr
Son of rest    99.24
Kimbrella   99,22
Washington dc   99,20
Another open race and hard to know which Washington will turn up because he runs stinkers quite often ....Son of rest has been rapidly rising the ranks and now takes on the big guns but thoroughly deserves a shot at a big prize ....kimbrella is looking better than ever lately and also has to have chances while in such sparkling form ....classy and very interesting race with lots of value on offer ....could go singles both races but lets have a shot at a decent prize 
Actress  13/2 pp
 
Kimbrella   7/1 pp

Made me smile today two winners ...i feel so motivated and determined to win big now cos i know she would really really love that so my head feels clear and im so focussed like never before ...im just going to run with it now and give it my best and see where it takes me ...just my original ratings ...i got the message today loud and clear 

450 bri
Whitley   98.81
Cooperess 98.81
Doctor bong   98.77
Top two are very evenly matched ....not a huge value at 7/2 and 9/2 but latter has j Crowley on board and he's on fire so I'd expect big runs from both 
Whitley 2pts win 7/2 lads
Cooperess 2pts win 9/2 coral

Apology for not being around my sister passed away and  it hit the family hard naturally ....she went racing with me a few times so it's hard to even look at it but she really enjoyed being around me and the racing and ratings etc so she wouldnt want me out of it feeling sad or sorry for myself ...she was a big fan of my original ratings and always used to take them to wolverhampton when she went and it kinda helps feeling she's along with me for the ride now so I'm easing myself back into things now 
320 bright 
Cricklewood green   98.88
Lord clenaghcastle  98.86
Intensical    98.84
Tricky race and I'm not a fan of Brighton tbh .....intensical looks decent value around 14/1 - 16/1 especially ew but not sure he has the class factor of the top two here ....not huge value at 9/2 and 6/1 but they should be primed for a good run in a weak race so ill try small stakes 
Cricklewood green  2pts win 6/1 bet365
