    A decent third place from Dylan's. He's back on track now and he's one to consider next time out.

    BOBBY WHEELER (NAP) looks like a sound bet in Kempton's 8:00. This horses form in the summer of 2016, after big runs at Ascot and Goodwood, made it look like a 95+ plus animal for me. Now eighteen months later he's on a rating 82, after a good 4th here last time. 5/2 is more reflective of his actual chance.

    The third horse tomorrow is Here's Herbie in Wincantons 3:00.
    He looks on a very fair mark. I reckon he goes close.


    Wincanton

    3:00 Here's Herbie

    Kempton

    7:30 Graceful James
    8:00 Bobby Wheeler

    Win Trixie (4 bets)
    Theres been a big drift on Sea Tide I see, so I'm substituting in the well backed Graceful James in the same race for the Trixie instead.

    Letmestopyouthere (425S) was 2nd in a slightly better race than this over C/D a month ago.
    Beaten 1.5l on that occasion, he now meets the winner on 5lbs better terms, plus the the added bonus of his apprentice rider's 5lb claim. Well worth an e.w punt at the current 9/1.

    I've had a look at Chepstow. My favourite low key joint apart from Sedgefield

    2:45 According to the Racing Post, one G Macaire bred AUERWIRBEN. He's come from France, down in the handicap, coming into a bit of form and looks likely to run well. A lot depends on whether the two market leaders run to expectations, but Auerwirben is still each-way value at 14's.

    3:20 Nick Williams DAISY DE SIVOLA is very interesting now dropped substantially in class. Far from exposed. 14/1 e/w

    3:55 SUTTER'S MILL...This ran well on first attempt over fences. He's coming into form, with potentially a lot more to offer. 10/1 e/w

    Each-way Trixie for me.

    Put that one in a combo exacta & trifecta with my two selections on the long shot thread and landed a nice exacta - well done Marble!

    Cheers fella! The first one I was gutted about, but Daisy's cheered me right up. Sutter's Mill in the next race placing (or better still) winning, ensures a good profit on the day.

    I like the look of Dennis Coakley's horse, Tiar Na Nog, in the 6:15 at Wolverhampton. This could be anything first time out in a handicap after a fair third last time. 14/1 is probably the right price but still worth doing each way. My strike rate has picked up a bit lately, so here's hoping!

    Missed out on Daisy marb [went shopping!]. Good spot. Must back Tiar No Nog [named after my favourite pub in Ireland; used to be another horse of that name a while back [Tir?]].

    Best bet tomorrow is PATRICKS PARK over at Leopardstown in 2:55 for Willie Mullins and Rachel Blackmore. This has won over further, so I expect him to be handy tomorrow. On a very low mark and could be very well-in.

    Back at Sandown, reckon VINO GRIEGO has one more big race to run....handicapper been fair to him, he's a Sandown C&D winner who might be each way value.

    Good luck!

    Loads of pace in the 2.00 @ Lingfield which should suit Intisaab down to the ground.
    Unfortunately, he's drawn out in the car park, but they might go quick enough to split the field in front of him and allow passage, so he's worth chancing e.w. at the current 9/1.

    Tomorrow's card at Leopardstown - I can't remember a better jumps one outside of the Festival. Wow.

    Today I've backed Min at 5/2. With Special Tiara in the field he's sure to settle much better and despite Yorkhill's undoubted class there is the whiff of people getting a bit carried away. Sure his JLT form is rock solid and I'm balls deep in Top Notch because of it but odds-on at his very first try over 2m is excessive and I like Min's chances.

    At Mussy in their Scots County Hurdle I took 9/2 and 5s about Amour De Nuit earlier in the week. His form behind Irish Roe and Mohaayed at Donny looks very good (I was on Flying Tiger in that race) and pumpkin won this with Diego du Charmil (similar type) last year.


    Well done with Daisy de Sivola Marble. I backed her in her previous start where she disappointed me and couldn't pull the trigger again.

    I too had a bit of Amour in the week Euro but still think he may woof his way out of it.

    The pumpkin as you call him might well have a good day to day by the looks of things.

    Wanna mention one more....Forth Bridge in Musselburghs hurdle at 2:05. A serial course winner who is being backed today, as if he might be the each way value at 10/1 in a five runner race.

    Cheers Danny yeah my strike rate has improved just see if I can keep it going. I'll always back my fair share of losers but if I can land some more winners I'm happy.

    Overall I thought today looked hard to get any strong angles against the market.

    My main two are Patrick's Park and Forth Bridge both each way. Vino has drifted to 25's and I'm not as confident as when I posted last night. In fact I'll swap him out (haven't placed my bet yet) with Yala Enki who I've backed the last twice. I'd be gutted were Yala Enki to win when I'm not on!

    Good luck with your selections today everyone.
