310 wolf

Crazy paving 9.9 9/2 3.8 no value 

At your service 7.8 13/2 8.6  value 

Elzaams dream 17/2 6/1 no value 

Highest rating I've seen for top rated...is running after 1 week under no penalty so fitness a question but a full 2.0 ahead ..should be interesting 

At your service qualifies as value bet but with form diff shoukd be running for a place but I'll back top 2 as form ratings so strong 

Krazy paving 4pts win 3.8 betfair 

At your service 2pts win 8.6 betfair

Richard, do you think these ratings will work well at The Cheltenham festival ?

They should work much  better at cheltenham ...the  class..form  and course form make for bigger gaps so should work really well and it's what I'm waiting for ....the racing at moment is poor but its good practice though for the better racing to come

I’ve been on a bad run, trying various ways but losing money still . I’m hopeful I can have some success with my ratings so I can try them out at Cheltenham.  Got a few weeks to try and pin it down , so will keep practicing whilst keeping my money in my pocket. Can’t wait for the festival .

Horn Of Plenty wins with My Girl Maggie second half a length. 4th best rated was third . Well happy with that.

Is rating handicaps any different to rating a graded race? Better chance of value in handicaps , but just wondering what people’s thoughts are on ratings for graded races. I’ve had a go at Thurles today (12.45) . At work so don’t have ratings at hand but I have Allaho as a very weak favourite. He’s 10/11 but way down on ratings. Balko Des Flos (25/1)ended up top rated, but I weren’t happy with that and had to adjust his current mark rating to what I think is a realistic score . He looks about right now, and is behind 3-4 on ratings. If I remember right I had Elimay or Easy Game top rated with Battleofdoyen and Annamix just behind. Back on to Balko Des Flos. He drops back to a trip he’s ran very well at in past, but no win since that very classy RyanAir win at Cheltenham (2018). Ran well lto considering he got badly hampered. Runs off 155 so potentially well  treated. Anyway we’ll see and I’ll post up how I rated race once I get back from work. I’m hoping it’s pretty accurate as I’d love to be able to use ratings on graded races at the festival

Yes I need to have a look at non hcaps etc .....I think it will need a new set of criteria though different from hcaps as graded races tend to be a mixture of official rating plus form ...plus class moreso .....I'm happy with the hcap criteria so just need to tackle some non hcaps now ......I have a few ideas to try but not sure which will work until I have a go ....its just about getting all the creases ironed out ready for Cheltenham......its gonna be a lot of fun for certain this year

Happy for anyone to give these a go, I'm all weather specialist if we had some regular value picks for other types of races, all the better.
