Hereford 4.10 - Spitfire Girl - win at 4/1 wm hill
This horse finished 1st last time out but was placed 2nd by the stewards. That was her first run for 6 months and hopefully will come on for the run. In that race she idled in the finish and drifted around a bit which is a sign she was getting tired
Returns to a right handed track today and her tranier has previously ben quoted as saying that she's a better horse on right handed tracks

2.45 Plump - Kadex - 10/3 bet 365
Very poor race here with only 4 runners 
Ya Know Yaseff is favourite and has won a couple of similarly poor races recently but was beaten 36 lengths last time and maybe his little good run has come to an end.
I like Kadex who's not done much but has been running in some better races and is having a second run back from a break and hopefully will come on for that outing in a poor race which shouldn't take much winning

Sporting Sam is unofficially “standing in” for HughTaylor with a daily off the wall assessment of selected races. Normal life returns on October 24th (tomorrow) when Hugh Taylor returns.
 I haven’t done too badly since “standing in”. 
Last week beginning on Wednesday 
Eyes won at 15/2 sp
while each way advice kasino 28/1 second and win advice  Acclaim to fame 7/2 third we’re just touched off.
 
fifty year storm won at Brighton 
 Notable won in the lucky last at Newcastle.
 
A massive each way effort from      ALGHAZAAL  
40/1 into 33/1 placed fourth.
Bomb Squad 
was an each way advice on Saturday and the money was landed with a fourth place.
finally a dabble stateside was rewarded with an American winner at Keeneland last night as QUEEN OF THE MUD scored at rewarding odds of 7/4.
Hopefully more winners today as the flat season continues its autumn finale.
I will try and give an hours notice of selections going up but as I select horses at the post the bet will go up around five or six minutes before the OFF.
The beauty of the methods I use, mean you are not competing with other punters and bookmakers to get a price and you can always get on at the price of the selections given .

Al mubhir caned off boards into 3rd fav 7/1 🥺

@Tedthewolf
It's in the lap of the gods if rain spoils it now ....I've rated the race on soft but if it rains it might go heavy ....rating currently is ...
Al mubhir. 8.8. 14/1 lads 
Sonny Liston. 8.5. 7/1 
Blue for you   8.2 
Coeur dor. 8.2 
Raadaburg. 8.1 
My idea of good outsider is Al mubhir .....but draw could be against him .....best drawn is sonny Liston in 7 with Ryan Moore onboard ...commands respect on that ....but value horse Def Al mubhir and I've had a tenner Ew at 14/1 with lads ...all the others are much shorter (as low as 11) ...for the haggas horse with Marquand aboard ...5 places 
 

Al mubhir caned off boards into 3rd fav 7/1 🥺

My general rule is back Ew if 1/5 th odds 11/2 or win below ....that way you make a profit overall even if the horse only place ....at 5/1 you break even so that's not a bad bet .....below 5/1 you start losing money overall if the horse places so I'd rather invest in the win but sometimes the safety factor is nice ...it's personal choice 

Ascot 1.15 The 2M Group 2 Long Distance Cup kicks things off on Champions Day at Ascot where the ground is likely to ride very testing. Trueshan is bidding for a record breaking fourth win in the race and should go well but she’s not been up against one as smart as Aidan O’Brien’s Kyprios who looked set to take the staying division apart this season until meeting with a setback earlier in the season. He badly needed his run back from a 344 break when a creditable runner up in the Irish St Leger and with that run behind him looks the bet here under Ryan Moore.   KYPRIOS 2 points win @ 11/8 William Hill   Ascot 1.50 The Group 1 Champions Sprint run over 6F is next up and again we have a warm favourite here in the shape of Ralph Beckett’s Kinross. He was a cosy winner of this last years and with conditions to suit can give Frankie Dettori a farewell winner on his last (possibly!) Champions Day. Mill Stream is two from two on soft ground and in a first time tongue tie can run well each way with an additional place with William Buick in the saddle.   KINROSS 2 points win @ 7/4 Bet Victor MILL STREAM 1/2 point each way @ 17/2 William Hill 1/5th 1234   Ascot 2.25 An open looking Group 1 Fillies & Mares Stakes run over 1M 4F has attracted fourteen runners. Many can be given chances but it’s the Aidan O’Brien trained Jackie Oh that takes my eye. Proven on soft/heavy ground with form figures on that terrain reading 121 she appears to be still on the upgrade and ran her best ever race when going down by just a neck in the Prix de l’Opera at Longchamp on Arc day. She steps up to 1m 4F for the first time here with her half siblings staying this trip so may even improve for it. One of the other Irish challengers, Above The Curve can also run well for Joseph O’Brien.   JACKIE OH 1 point win @ 4/1 Ladbrokes   Ascot 3.05 Eleven top milers line up for the Group 1 Queen Elizabeth II Stakes. Paddington must hold an excellent chance although he’s pretty short for a horse who’s actually held on York running by Nashwa. John Gosden’s likeable filly has form in very soft ground and holds a good each way chance although the bet here for me is the French challenger Big Rock. The French have an excellent record in this race over the years winning three of the last 9 renewals. Christopher Head’s three year old has smart form chasing home not only Inspiral at Deauville but also Ace Impact in the French Derby as well as hammering Horizon Dore by 5L on heavy ground. He’s a front runner and although it’ll be tough leading all the way here he looks good each way value. I’m a big fan of Dermot Weld’s Tahiyra but didn’t like his comments in the press this week about her not really been suited by soft ground (despite having good form on a wet surface).   BIG ROCK 1 point each way @ 7/1 bet365 1/5th 123   Ascot 3.45 The most valuable race on the card is the 10F Group one Champion Stakes which has attracted nine runners. Likely favourite Horizon Dore looks skinny enough to me for a horse that’s never raced in a Group 1 and my pick here is Roger Varian’s King Of Steel who can give Frankie Dettori a double on the card. Very soft ground shouldn’t worry him and his form this season is as good as anyone’s in the field. Last year’s winner and third Bay Bridge and My Prospero have claims but there is a big outsider I can’t resist a token each way bet on. That’s Aidan O’Brien’s Point Lonsdale who will be ridden by Ryan Moore and is unbeaten in four runs on soft ground. It’s not often you get to back a O’Brien and Moore horse at such a big price and although he may not be good enough he may stay on into a place.   KING OF STEEL 1 point win @ 4/1 bet365 POINT LONSDALE 1/2 point each way @ 28/1 bet365 1/5th 123   Ascot 4.25 A maximum field of twenty for the one mile Balmoral Handicap and as usual it has a very open look about it. Top weight Migration trained by David Menuisier will have to put up a near Group performance to take this but is two from two on heavy ground and goes very well fresh as he showed when winning the Lincoln on his re-appearance at Doncaster back in March. He had a few of today’s opponents behind him that day and despite a 6lb rise in the weights from a middle draw should be very competitive. There are obviously plenty of others that one can make a case for but I can’t resist a small stakes each way saver on George Boughey’s Raadobarg who like Migration is an out and out mudlark who hasn’t won since taking the Irish Lincoln in March 2022 but has kept listed or group company since. He actually ran at this meeting last year but in the Group 1 QE II when finishing eight of 9 (beaten 5 1/2L) at 80/1.   MIGRATION 1 point each way @ 8/1 bet365 1/5th 12345 RAADOBARG 1/4 point each way @ 20/1 bet365 1/5th 12345
