Things have gone from bad to worse! Not even the cert of the day could manage a first three finish. We will not move from our ideals, we will stick to what we know best and the way we study form to continue finding winners. Everyone has a bad run but this is starting to get silly! It changes today...
Our 3 for this afternoon.
4.10 Chepstow Fillies Handicap 1m - Respite
This horse will return to form today with everything in her favour. One bad run does not make a bad horse and while since moving into handicaps shes shown very little, we feel that will change today. Liam Jones is very capable and the Haggas stable can never be over looked in these sorts of races. Anything around 3/1 should be taken.
5.20 Catterick Handicap 7f - Neo's Mate
We fully believe in horses for courses and Neo's mate fits that perfectly. She won twice at this track last month and while those wins were over 6f, we see no reason why she wont stay this extra furlong. There is wieght in the argument that she could improve over it. Wont mind a bit of rain in the ground but wouldnt want much more. Take the 4/1 it could look a very nice price come race time.
5.45 Roscommon Handicap 7f - Battimoore
We are taking a risk that he will stay this far but nothing suggests he wont. Pat Smullen in the saddle and after some very encouraging runs this season he looks bang ready to win a race today. Off a similar mark as those runs and with an excellent draw he is as good a 9/2 bet we can find today.
Enjoy the days sport!

Can we get any worse?
Over the last few days i don't think we can, the horses are running well without winning. Its a phase everyone goes through, and today we break out of it and land some winners.
Our 3 for today!
3.45 Ripon 6f Handicap - Kerry's Requiem
At around 8/1 this horse cant be overlooked today. Should have already registered a win over this course and distance if had not found loads of trouble in running. Often an unlucky horse and not helped by her attitude but with the 7lb swing with her conqueror last time out, we see this as being enough to reverse the form. In good form and primed to run a big race.
5.00 Newton Abbot 3m 2f Conditional Handicap - Scotch Corner
We can overlook this horse today after his run last time out. The price means you can back him EW which is utter madness really, this horse wins today for us and we fully advise you get on it now at around 7/1. Staying on like a train last time out over a trip short of his best. Although not proven he stays this far, his run last time out suggests he will. We feel this extra distance will play to all his strengths. Hit form at just the right time.
7.00 Windsor 5f Handicap - Sister Clement
Will need to focus more emphasis on speed here but there cant be any reasons why this horse wont win tonight. Won as she liked at Newbury and only just failed off this mark last time out, not getting a clear run. Everything looks good for a solid run tonight and you cant ignore Hannon/Hughes at Windsor at the best of times. She is still way way ahead of the handicapper and should be backed at around 6/4.

Back to form today!
Disastrous yesterday, no other word for it. Not even Rainbow View could get going quick enough to beat the very impressive Midday. Who fully deserved her group 1 win after coming so close too often this season.
Our 3 for today.
2.45 Newbury 7f Nursery Handicap - Jehu EW
Needs to show improvement to land the prize today, but we see no reason why he wont. Stayed on very strongly over this trip last time out and in our opinion won very cosily although the short head result might show otherwise. If Culhane can get him going a bit sooner today then he has a very good chance. Might show better form over a mile in due course but at around 14/1 he is our EW selection.
2.55 Chester 6f Nursery - Transfixed
A very consistent horse who likes this course and distance having already won over it this season from a poor draw. Not the most unexposed in the line up but the one most likely to run to form and with the likely favourite not expected to be happy at this trip, we like the look of Transfixed today from a good draw. Take the 100/30 as it will be shorter at the off.
4.35 Chester 1m 4f Handicap - Robby Bobby
In the content of this race he would have every chance in this race on previous form. Giving his chance away by pulled too hard last time out. Not the most reliable horse you will ever back but he is dangerously well handicapped that he cant be missed today. The trip and ground will suit to perfection and if Greg Farley can get him to settle better then he looks a good thing at around 7/2.

Rainbow day!
A fairly poor day yesterday but offset with the 5/1 place of Docofthebay (25/1 3rd). Today's racing looks great with the Nassau Stakes being the highlight for us. Will today be the day Rainbow View shows she is a top class filly? Well we certainly think so!
Our 3 for today.
1.55 Goodwood Handicap 1m 3f - Thin Red Line
Needs to find improvement on his last run to win again, but the form of his last time out second is looking very good. Likes to race prominent which will suit today and with the slight drop back in trip he will run a very good race today. Everything looks to be in his favour at around 8/1 he is a cracking price with Jamie Spencer in the saddle.
2.10 Newmarket Fillies Nursery Handicap 6f - Bathwick Xaara EW
We are taking a bit of a flyer with this horse today, but the way she ran last time out suggested this drop in trip would suit her down the ground. Cost next to nothing at the sales but has shown she has ability in all her starts. Looks to be on what looks a stiffish mark but we disagree with that and see no reason why she wont run well today at 20/1 EW.
3.05 Goodwood Nassau Blue Square Stakes 1m 1f - Rainbow View
This trip will be the making of her. The form figures looks disappointing when you take into account she was the star 2yo of last season, but those figures are top class form when you delve a little deeper. Staying on each time and just not quite getting there, this trip will near on guarantee her first win of the season. Although its a top class race, she looks the stand out horse in it! Currently trading at 4/1 she cant be missed. SMASH THE WALL CERTAINTY!

Off the crossbar!
Two seconds yesterday is no good to the profit/loss but were happy they ran well, if Mourilyan had got going quicker he may well have got there, but it wasn't to be.
Today is probably the day of the hardest races on the five day card, but we feel we may have found the winners of the cavalry charges. But then we would wouldn't we!!
We like the look of three very nice priced horses today.
2.10 Couttes Glorious Stakes 1m 4f - Indian Spirit
A race not known for producing double figure priced winners but this one can very much buck that trend today. Five lengths behind Doctor Fremantle last time out over this distance is very appealing for for this race. Promoted to fourth in the group race he very much looked like laying it down to the winner 2f out before petering out and becoming one paced. Richard Hughes likes this horse and feels a nice win can be had with it. At around 12/1 he should run a good solid race.
2.45 Rolf Group Stewards Sprint Stakes 6f - Harrison George
Richard Fahey has sent five of the runners for this, and all of his runners have to be taken seriously. But the one that stands out best is the selection. He has a great draw, Ryan Moore in the saddle and will very much like the bit of juice in the ground. You could argue that another Fahey runner (Sunrise Safari) holds him on their last run, but this course will suit better and with the draw advantage he now has we feel a big run is on the table for him at 7/1.
3.25 Totesport Mile 1m - Docofthebay EW
An old favourite of ours, this horse loves these big fields, having run very well in the past at this course. Needs to step up on his form this year but the best time to catch him is fresh and again with Ryan Moore up (we don't sponsor him ha ha) he looks sure to run his race. Not the most reliable but on a fair mark and a decent draw. Each-way at around 25/1 he will be carrying our hopes in the big one!

A nice winner yesterday!
A nice 8/1 winner yesterday and we felt the other two ran well without winning. Sweetheart looked like it could have gone round again, never in danger. I think we can now safely say Soto is a monkey, it will win this season but we wont be putting it up on here again.
Our 3 for today.
2.45 Goodwood Audi Stakes 5f - Sugar Free EW
While today is a huge step up for this filly, we feel she can make the grade. 5f is her ideal trip and the ground will suit to perfection. With the weight allowances she finds herself right at the bottom of the card and this will play into her favour. Her win last time out looks good and while she needs to step up, we feel she can! At around 12/1 she is an outstanding EW selection.
3.25 Coutts Goodwood Cup 2m - Mourilyan
It would be amazing to see Carraciola win but the Tom Watson of horse racing might just find the opposition too good today. Mourilyan is the one for us today, the run last time out over a trip too short for him, showed to us that he will need every yard of this 2m distance. Talked about as a serious Ledger Horse he will need to be showing something today to prove that. The stable is out of form but we feel this horse will put pay to that today. 9/1 will do us!
5.00 Guinness Galway Handicap Hurdle 2m - Deutshland
Not an inspired choice in this race but everything looks right for him today. A very usefull horse he spreads his form over flat and hurdles. Some very good runs on the flat this season including a hatrick of victories will have put him spot on for this and he gets in on a very attractive weight. Ruby Walsh up and we cant see him losing at around 11/4.

Thank you for checking in!
We are sorry for not posting for so long. The broadband connection we use has had problem after problem. It was finally fixed yesterday but is dropping off when ever it chooses. We were very happy to see that people have still been dropping by the blog even when we haven't posted for so long. Thank you!
We have 3 fantastic selections for you today.
2.10 Goodwood 2m 5f Handicap - Sweetheart
Course form at Goodwood is a very handy thing to have in the bag, this horse won here earlier in the season and while closely matched with a few of the runners we feel non will appreciate the step up in trip more. Liam Jones is a very capable jockey and we see nothing but positives for this horse today. At around 7/1 it cant be missed.
3.25 Goodwood 1m Sussex Stakes Gp1 - Lord Shanakill EW
This horses last two runs have been a huge improvement on previous form, 3rd in the St James' Palace he then bettered that with a group win in France last time out over this trip. As with the last selection this horse really knows his way around this track, and that cant be ignored here. The big three in the field look sure to run their race but at 16/1 the selection is an outstanding each way bet.
5.35 Redcar 6f Handicap - Soto
Really forced the pace last time out and in our opinion ran a blinder. Not won for a while which is a worry but the horse is a model of consistency. Constantly running well without winning, but we have been advised that the horse is widely expected to win today with the 7lb claimer on board. Take the price early as we are hopeful the money will come over the course of the afternoon.
