Winners From Placed Form system. Email me for details. This has produced hundrends of winners over the last couple of seasons, including a good number at 25/1, 33/1 and bigger.

Email me for the Racehorse Databases. Over the last few seasons I have compiled databases of well-handicapped horses - over 13,000 horse ratings for the Flat and NH (a goldmine of information). £12.50 for the Flat, £10 for NH, or £20 for both. One winner will pay for them outright! I can also provide theWinners From Placed Form system (most of those below are genuine system results) for £5 by email. Look at the results below. No scams there! What more proof do you need?

Picking Big Priced Winners From Form (see below). A new study to identify well handicapped horses. Please email me.

Also, please email snookermag@aol.com with your feedback on this page. So far most visitors have been deafening with their silence! I don't know if you are getting anything useful out of my system and race comments. As regards the system, please let me have your results and comments, good or bad (no abuse please). I would appreciate it. Graham

New Publication:
I have compiled a new short study explaining how to research horse racing form, enabling anyone to select good priced winners. This is entitled: Picking Big Priced Winners From Form (not to be confused with my system Winners From Placed Form), which can be used in conjunction with the system. This is now available by email for £4.00. Paypal acceptable. Please email me if you are interested.

Daily Top-rated Selections: On 26th September my top-rated selections included Advanced (33/1 winner) with Something (33/1 third) in the same race, Green Manalishi (4/1 winner) with Atlantic Story 10/1 third in the same race, Pepporoni Pete (7/1 winner), Leslingtaylor 15/2 third, Sadlers Star 15/2 third and Damika 14/1 third. I also highlighted Desert Dreamer (20/1 winner) a few days ago on its last run! Today 27th September Andorn 9/1 winner, John Keats 10/1 third, Zelos Girl 12/1 third, Nudge And Nurdle 13/2 second with Uptown Lad 10/1 third. 28th September: Desperate Dan 14/1 winner, Pepper Lane 10/1 third, Hay Fever 6/1 second. I can provide 8-10 daily selections of comparable quality for £1.50 per day or £25 per month.Email me for details, as I cannot provide this service free of charge for much longer. Databse
My daily comments on racing have provided numerous big priced winners and places over the last few months, and you can see from the results that I have an excellent knowledge of horse racing form and can pick horses that other people have not even considered, Now that's better than backing all the short-priced favourites, isn't it?

I hope you will read this page and send me your comments when appropriate. I always try to provide genuine form information and try to throw light on a very difficult and often frustrating sport. Most of my selections are right, but quite often on the wrong day (too early).

Recent Results and my comments based on the System, databases and lists (if you want to find out about value in racing, read on):

10th March: Some great system results today! Mnarani was best in for the 2.00 Lingfield, but unfortunately its stablemate Exceedthewildman was wanted more today! Typical! System bet Elevenses 11/2 winner of the 2.10 Fontwell, with system bet Notmorebrandy 14/1 third. System bet Fingal Rock (-30) 8/1 second in the 2.15 Naas. Database top-rated Along The Nile (-U40) 100/30 winner of the 2.20 Catterick with third-rated Tipsy Indian 9/1 second. Database top-rated War Of The Roses 5/2 winner of the 3.30 Lingfield. Alan King's Like A Hurricane 9/1 winner of the 2.40 Fontwell, making up for his odds-on defeat in the first race. Amazing how that often happens, the longer priced runner wins! Slievecorragh (-244) 5/1 winner of the 2.45 Naas, with system bets Maca Rince and Cuchulains Son second and third. Karathaena made no effort today in the 2.50 Catterick, nor did Mr Midaz, but both will be worth a bet soon. System bet Cornish Castle 14/1 fourth. Database top-rated Mustajed 9/1 and Prince Charlemagne 2/1 second and third in the 3.00 Lingfield. keep an eye on Granski for the future. This Ray Mond must be some horse, because the three I backed against it in the 3.10 Fontwell were very well handicapped, and finished second, third and fourth! At least I got Honours Dream second at 25/1! System bet and former good flat horse Ballochroy 25/1 winner of the 3.15 Naas, from system bet L'Oiseau De Feu 8/1 second. System bet Farne Island (-23F) 5/1 winner of the 3.20 Catterick from Kosta Brava (sys+2) second 12/1. Official top-rated Otto Quercus should have done better than fourth at these weights! System bet and official top-rated Shamir (-23) 4/1 winner of the 3.30 Lingfield from Johnston's Magic Omen 5/2 second. System bet Days Of Pleasure (-02B) 9/1 winner of the 3.40 Fontwell from Waarid (-244) 9/2 second! Wondersobright led most of the way, and must be worth a bet very soon, along with Isintshelovely. System bet Taking Stock (-3S) 9/4 second in the 3.45 Naas. Louisiade finished third again at 16/1 in the 4.00 Lingfield (I thought it had won first time around) , but I also backed Copperwood, winner at 9/2. Cornus must try to win very soon now! Trip Switch (-36) 16/1 second. Bubble Boy was best in for the 4.10 Fontwell, but decided to come third today. Will probably be better in a bigger race. Church Island failed to perform at Naas today, but watch out for it soon, possibly at Cheltenham? System bet Star Beat (-240) 4/1 winner of the 4.20 Catterick. Woolston Ferry (-35) 6/1 winner of the 4.30 Lingfield. When will King's Sabre (thrown in) show its true colours? Surely soon now! System bet Konigsbote 7/1 second with system bet Sir Punjabi 6/1 third in the 4.40 Fontwell. L'Oudon should have won the 4.50 Catterick at the weights, but finished only third. keep an eye on it. Vhujon was best in for the 5.00 Lingfield, but would not go past the first two! Must win soon when wanted. Balustrade ran better than its finishing position in the 5.10 Fontwell, and should be worth keeping an eye on. Database top-rated Athboy Auction (-040) 33/1 winner of the 5.35 Lingfield! The third and fourth, Turkish Sultan and Gold Rock were also well in, and don't forget Binnion Bay, which is still well-handicapped, but never runs the same race twice! Amazingly, the usually gambling Carr stable allowed Dubai Dynamo to go off at 18/1 to win the 6.30 Wolverhampton. Hard to believe, but perhaps they have adopted a new policy? I ignored it for that reason, although it was well-handicapped on old form. Quince (7.30 Wolverhampton) did not even get third today, which suggests to me that it may try harder next time. Dajen (-26) 4/1 winner of the 8.00 Wolverhampton. System bet Spinning Ridge 7/1 second in the 9.00 Wolverhampton with Tevez (-36) 16/1 third.. By Command was by far best in, and should win again soon, along with Ninth House, which has run poorly for a while.

9th March: Calmdownmate was nibbled in the betting today, having been a massive price, but failed to perform. Is very well in when wanted, possibly next time. System bet Montoya's Son (-340) 10/1 second in the 2.20 Newcastle. Official top-rated Lord Villez 15/8 winner. Hot Tottie (-5550) 16/1 second in the 2.30 Exeter. Official top-rated Miss Nightshade 6/4 winner. Time To Think was well backed, but came nowhere. Worth keeping an eye on. Three Boars (-206 - almost a system bet) 15/2 winner of the 2.40 Southwell. Drat! I wanted Resplendent Ace for the forecast! Why do they rarely run two races alike? Hot'N Holy was thrown in for the 2.50 Newcastle, but contrived to finish fourth. Next best in Ardesia finished second, and Flying Doctor was useless (not surprising at the price). Watch them all soon. Dalaram (-05P) (8/1 second) and French Saulaie were my two top-rated for the 3.00 Exeter, and both can win soon. My recent tip, Teeming Rain, 9/1 winner of the 3.30 Exeter. Macmar and Victory Gunner (fourth) are due soon. All Guns Firing was a damp squib in the 3.40 Southwell, but is much better than that. I had the winner, Veloso, as my next best in. Hi Dancer (2/1 winner) was best in for the 3.50 Newcastle, winning from Nevsky Bridge (20/1). Watch out for Royal Flynn next time. System bet Dancing Mist 11/10 winner of the 4.00 Exeter. King Jack was best in, but finished only fourth! Louisiade was best in for the 4.10 Southwell, and almost got there at 9/2. Must win soon. The younger horse, Madison Belle 9/1 winner. Owed was well in on old form, finishing third at 66/1! Lake Chini must do better soon. System bet The Ferbane Man (-23) 14/1 third in the 4.30 Exeter. I fancied Tim Vaughan to have first and second, but Kiribati King got in the way! I have tipped Trans Sonic and Xpres Maite reguarly recently, but as soon as I get a chance to back them both, what happens? Skybet goes offline! Marvellous! Daaweitza (third) was also well in. What a tricast I could have had! System bet Jimmy Bond (-26P) 13/2 winner of the 4.50 Newcastle from Jass (-650) 6/1 second and Et Maintenant (-203) 9/2 third. System bet Pavanne (-640) 25/1 third in the 5.00 Exeter. Carrig An Uisce was well backed, and can do better than fourth. Also look out for Silver Sister and Fair Shake. I ignored Scruffy Skip (66/1 second) in the 5.10 Southwell because of its first place on the front. Silly me! It was well in! Captain Imperial and Sirjosh will do better soon. Alan Swinbank's Rocks Rule 5/1 winner of the 5.20 Newcastle. Always keep an eye on his runners in bumpers, especially when they are not too short! System bet Gracie's Gift (-30) 22/1 winner of the 5.40 Southwell! Don Pele should have done better than fourth, but never runs two races alike!

8th March: Master Fong was the obvious each-way bet in the 2.00 Stratford, finishing third at 8/1. Keep an eye on M'lady Eliza, which ran on for fifth at 200/1. I thought I was going to get the forecast with Danehill Sunset (fourth) and Johnston's Al Farahidi (second) until the closing stages of the 2.10 Lingfield, when the race changed dramatically. Course and Distance winner Cresswell Pride 20/1 second in the 2.20 Ffos Las. I wanted Slip for the forecast (third). The latter seemed to be going better than the runner-up, but did not finish off. Anjomarba and system bet Miss Lesley (second) were best in for the 2.40 Lingfield, but as usual something unexpected happened, with Anjomarba finishing last! Will be worth a bet again soon. The Composer, Arabian Sun and Back In Business were best in for the 2.50 Ffos Las, but none of them saw out the race, apart from Back in Business, which could have got third with a bit more effort on the run-in. All three can do better soon. System bet Walls Way (all duck's eggs) 20/1 winner! It had never got within 20 lengths of the winner in its previous starts! Dichoh was best in for the 3.15 Lingfield, and was going better than anything, but finished only third. Will be worth a bet soon. System bet Chapel Flowers 3/1 winner of the 3.25 Ffos Las with system bet Alesandro Montegna 9/2 second.. Call Me Sam is very well in when wanted (perhaps not next time). System bet Sufad (-230) 80/1 third in the 3.40 Stratford! Requin (-253) 18/1 winner. White Shift (third) and Leftontheshelf (fourth) were best in for the 3.50 Lingfield, but, as you can see, they were not wanted today! Watch for them both soon. Databse top-rated Shropshire Lass 10/1 second in the 4.15 Ffos Las. Database top-rated Prince Namid 10/1 winner of the 4.25 Lingfield. System bet Blazing Buck (-3P) 16/1 winner of the 4.35 Stratford! Look out for Cannon Fire soon off this mark (ran on late today). High Jack, fourth in the 4.50 Ffos Las, is well in when wanted. Ronald Jack was best in for the 5.10 Ffos Las, but managed only another fourth place, after looking like winning (the others seemed to be in slow motion). Note it very soon. Also look out for Ticket To Ride and Prince Massini (both pulled up today). One of these days Annia Galeria (5.30 Lingfield) will break in front and stay there, but it ain't doing it yet! Must win before long instead of fading every time! System bet Tulip Explosion 4/1 second. Rudanphast (-34) 11/2 winner of the 5.40 Ffos Las. Exotic Man appeared to be going better than anything, but failed to go through with it. Also note Ben The Horse, which should have done better.

7th March: System bet Gringo (-20) 4/1 winner of the 2.20 Sedgefield, with system bet Karmadice (-03F) 11/1 second. Baron De'l and Takestan were not wanted in the 2.30 Naas, but bothshould be more competitive soon. Database top-rated Talenti (-465P) 16/1 winner with second-rated Wizard Of Odds 10/1 third in the 2.40 Huntingdon! Himalayan Trail was by far best in for te 3.10 Huntingdon, but finished only third (at 20/1). That one and Chico Time are due very soon. My recent strong tip, Oniz Tiptoes (see its last run, 9th February) 6/1 winner of the 3.20 Sedgefield!Blast, Skybet went offline at just thec wrong time, as usual! Database top-rated A New Story 25/1 fourth in the 3.30 Naas. Unfortunately its stable companion Dancing Tornado was the one wanted, winning at 12/1! System bet Chaim (-400) 7/1 second in the 3.40 Huntingdon. Kings Rock and Hohlethelonely will be worth a bet soon. The winner, Pearl, has been gambled sevceral times recently without success. I mentioned Naval Attache in dispatches recently (see 9th Feb), finishing second at 16/1 in the 3.50 Sedgefiled. Lerida (third) is even better in and can win soon. I wondered why Bella Mana Mou was 20/1 in the 4.00 Naas, and it was going better than anything until suddenly pulling up. Must be worth a bet soon (just testing today?) Elk Trail ran appallingly in the 4.10 Huntingdon, as did Magnesium. Both are much better than that when wanted. System bets Alfloramoor 11/4 second and The Gloves Are Off 8/1 third. Baron Watlass (-360P00) 7/1 winner of the 4.20 Sedgefield. With that form, somebody must have known something (crafty s..s)! Sharadiyn's form in second was also pretty poor! It's about time we saw something from Tarkesar, Danse Macabre and Overbranch! Official top-rated Seeability 11/2 winer of the 4.30 Naas. Day Of Claies was best in for the 4.50 Sedgefield, but packed up after leading. Will be a system bet next time. Kinkeel (third) was my next best in and cannot be discounted next time. System bet Teerie Express (-420) 10/1 winner! Rusty Red (-04U) 5/1 second. Sherwood's Milgen Bay 13/8 winner of the 5.10 Huntingdon. The trainer used to have a lot of national Hunt winners, but has been struggling of late.

Not having researched the form or watched the races, I cannot provide further comments on the day's racing.

5th March: Phai Mai Blue was thrown in for the 1.20 Lingfield, but, as often happens, preferred to get a place (third) before winning. Frustrating, running on from the back! Watch for it soon. Hazytoo is another not wanted today. Barrel Of Fun (-26) 6/1 third in the 1.50 Lingfield. System bet The Big Orse 5/1 second in the 2.45 Newbury (in front just before the line!) Whipperway was best in for the 3.00 Lingfield, but was not at a competitive price and did not run a competitive race! Still it will win again soon. Not In The Clock (-050) 20/1 second. Mister Quasimodo spat out the dummy today, but is still well handicapped when wanted. Fortunately I also backed Chaninbar (6/1 winner). Two of my recent tips were in the frame for the 3.35 Southwell, the winner Raimond Ridge 7/1 and Fromsong (third 11/1). Chjimes (fourth) should win soon. System bet Miss Sarenne 8/1 second in the 4.30 Newbury. Ned Ludd and Pyleigh Lady will do better soon. Loyal Royal was best in for the 4.45 Lingfield after the wuthdrawal of Nacho Libre, but came only fifth. I also backed Sapphire Prince, winning at 4/1. System bet Soulard 9/1 second in the 4.55 Newbury. Kaldouas (pulled up) and El Presidente can do better soon. Saintsaire is much better than it showed in the 5.05 Doncaster, and can do better soon. Good Company, which ran out, is also due soon. Johnston's Honest Broker 12/1 winner of the 5.15 Lingfield, with Slasl (-040) 25/1 third. Reach For The Sky should win soon. I thought database top-rated Cape Royal was going to win the 5.35 Wolverhampton, but it got bumped out into third place. Typical - 7 horse race! Must win soon.

4th March: System bet Vodka Brook (-23UU) 11/2 winner of the 2.20 Taunton, with Procas De Thaix (-35) 33/1 second. System bet Golden Tiger 8/1 third in the 2.40 Southwell with Tealing (-305) 12/1 second. Inside Track should have won this, but dropped out tamely. Watch for it again soon. System bet Nulato looked sure to get second in the 2.50 Taunton, but got caught on the run-in! Should do better shortly. Official second-rated Upham Atom (-35) 10/1 second. Markila should have done better in the 3.00 Ludlow, but was getting rid of a first place, and should do better next time. Ramamara was well in for the 3.10 Southwell, but finished well back.

Overtly Blue and Little Rort will do better very soon now. Whooshka (-006) 7/2 winner of the 4.40 Southwell. Cat Junior (-2455) 25/1 winner of the 4.50 Meydan. Fundamentalist (second 5/1)was best in for the 5.00 Ludlow, but Templer was the younger horse. Still, I got the forecast! Border Owl (all noughts and fives) (+20lb in my database) was the 9/1 winner of the 5.10 Southwell, from Miss Bootylishes (-234) (+19lb). Heroes was best in, but finished last, so watch for it soon! Miss Polly Plum (-050) 20/1 third in the 5.20 Wolverhampton. System bet Campanologist 6/1 winner of the 5.35 Meydan (the third winner for Dettori, including Desert Party above). Why is it always my horse that rears up in the stalls and/or misses the break? This was the case with King's Sabre today in the 5.50 Wolverhampton (never done it before, nudge, nudge, wink, wink). Does the 7lb claimer mean it's not trying (again)? Also Obe Gold always seems to be miles off the pace at the wrong time! Both can do better soon, as can Bentley (third today). Well, that's enough of that today. Let's hope they run better tomorrow!

3rd March: I expected a better run from Half Cocked in the 2.10 Folkestone, considering its performances against better horses, but it hadn't run for a couple of years, and better can be expected. System bet and official top-rated Gloonan Hill 8/1 winner of the 2.15 Downpatrick. Miss Nightshade (symmetrical form) 28/1 winner of the 2.20 Bangor! My three picks for the 2.30 Wolverhampton, Angle Of Attack, Spoof Master and Hart Of Gold were all disputing the lead turning into the straight, but all dropped back at the end! Keep an eye on all of them soon. Cheery Cat (-246 with symmetrical form) 12/1 winner with system bet Dream Express (-400) 16/1 second! Maybe A Malt looked to be going better than its finishing position in the 2.40 Folkestone, but the jockey seemed to ease up when there was a faller in front. I think it will prove better than this. Official top-rated Rossdara 9/10 winner of the 2.45 Downpatrick. Thought I had the forecast with Spare Shilling, but it got pipped for second on the run-in! System bet Heron's Well (-250) 9/2 winner of the 2.50 Bangor. Again, I wanted it to beat Mam Ratagan! What is going on? Tournedos refuses to run a good race, but I bet it won't when there is money for it! The next three rated, Bo McGinty, Monte Major and Bluebok filled the first three places. Also keep an eye on Ronnie Howe. My recent tip, Wishes Or Watches, (see 7th February) 14/1 winner of the 3.10 Folkestone! One Step Closer dropped out after being well there, and should win when in the handicap. System bet Ilikeyou (-006) 10/1 winner of the 3.15 Downpatrick. Ciceron (-324) 3/1 winner of the 3.20 Bangor from Alan King's Devil To Pay second. I fancied Second Brook and The Mighty Mod in the 3.30 Wolverhampton, finishing second and third at 28/1 and 25/1! Pity I didn't put in the favourite for the tricast! Attorney General is definitely due soon now after pulling up today in the 3.40 Folkestone. The rider gave the impression that the horse wouldn't go a yard, but it is much better than that! I had Canni Thinkaar as my second-rated with Painter Man as third, and they finished first and second! Alexanderthegreat finished sixth today in the 3.50 Bangor, and must be worth a bet soon, along with Newman Des Plages, (third) which ran in snatches today. Killard Point (-05P) 20/1 second. Angelina Ballerina was best in for the 4.00 Wolverhampton, but finished only fifth. Worth a bet soon, possibly in a handicap. System bet Tomintoul Star 6/1 second.

Official top-rated Mighty Massini 11/10 winner of the 4.15 Downpatrick, from second-rated Johnny Kilawee 20/1 second. Rare Coincidence led almost all the way in the 4.30 Wolverhampton, only to finish fourth! Just testing?! Don't you just hate it when that happens? Must be worth a bet soon, along with Swords, which only ran on when it was too late! Lastroseofsummer (-606) 33/1 third. Favourite Motarjm will also do better soon, along with Wee Ziggy. Database top-rated He's On His Way 10/1 second in the 4.40 Folkestone. Database top-rated Award Winner (see my tip on its last run, 11th February) 2/1 winner of the 4.50 Bangor. Alamaty Express never got the lead today, but I feel sure is being primed for a win soon. The same applies to First Order, which finished with a rattle too late.

Oscar Papa ran on like a train too late to almost catch the winner (no good for me, however!) Daly's Inga Bird 8/1 winner of the 5.20 Folkestone. Typically, I got the second and third! There's always one, isn't there? Arachnophobia (-24) 2/1 winner of the 5.30 Wolverhampton with system bet Johnmanderville 20/1 second (I thought it had won!) Kensington continues to disappoint, but should be worth backing next time. If Tin Cha Woody runs in this country again, get on it! System bet Laureldean's Best 3/1 second in the 6.00 Wolverhampton. Stoic Leader was by far best in, but hung fire in the straight to finish fifth. Must do better soon, and Machinate is not finished yet either. Protiva is another to keep an eye on. Cupid's Glory (third) and Rapid City are both due soon from the 5.45 Kempton. Princess Valerina (6.45 Kempton) should be worth backing soon.

2nd March: Mardood (-3F6) 8/1 winner of the 2.00 Catterick with system bet Mt Desert (-340) 5/1 third. Manoubi was best in, but finished fourth. Worth a bet soon, along with Skipping Chapel. Knight Valliant ran on late, and should also be considered. System bet Circus Of Dreams, despite having it to do on ratings, 7/4 winner of the 2.20 Leicester. Overstrand (third) can do better soon. Capybara made no effort to get into the 2.30 Catterick, but is thriown in when wanted, along with Benny The Piler. Both of these were getting rid of firat places from last season as was Bleu Pois (sixth). Quay Meadow (-35) 17/2 winner. I backed Captain Smoothy and Thedreamstillalive in the 2.50 Leicester, but both got pipped by Wherrimon! Tranos and Ormus were best in for the 3.00 Catterick, but finished only fourth and fifth. However, both were running on, and should be worth a bet soon. Storm Surge (-46) 9/1 second. System bet Nom De La Rosa (-400) 9/4 winner of the 3.10 Lingfield from Magic Spirit (-263) 13/2. Young Yozza, pulled up in the 3.20 Leicester, will be worth a bet soon, along with Early Wings (fourth). County Colours should have done better in the 3.30 Catterick, and should be noted again soon. Official top-rated Good Old Thyme 10/11 winner. System bet Lucky Redback 5/2 winner of the 3.40 Lingfield. Halsion Chancer does not usually lead, and did so today. Should win very soon off this mark.

Livingonaknifedge is due very soon after a poor run in the 4.50 Leicester. Talking Sence moved up easily into contention in the 5.00 Catterick, but did not go through with its effort, finishing fourth! Worth keeping an eye on. Swinbank's Pair Of Kings also ran too badly to be true, and must do better soon. Himba was well in for the 5.10 Lingfield, finishing second at 66/1! Should be worth a bet soon. I wanted to back Prince Charlemagne, but it did not run.

1st March: Database top-rated Desperate Dan (+25lb) 8/1 winner of the 2.10 Wolverhampton! Mega Watt appeared to be going very well before coming down in the 2.20 Plumpton, and must be worth abet in a similar race. Official top-rated Action Impact 4/5 winner. Hoback Junction (-25) 10/1 second. Fimnere should have done better (going very well) in the 2.30 Hereford, but made mistakes and pulled up. Watch for it soon.

Billybo (fourth) will also be worth a bet soon. The 5lb claim made the difference for Sumdancer in the 2.50 Plumpton, but Sole Agent should win a race soon. System bet Overlaw (-23U) 5/1 winner of the 3.00 Hereford, with my recent tip, Jacksons Pier (see 17th February) 22/1 second. Glimmer Of Light will be worth a bet soon. Mixsterthetrixster (50/1 fourth) was my database top-rated! By Command was massively well in for the 3.10 Wolverhampton, but contrived to come second! Must win again soon. Others to consider: United Nations and Boo are both due soon. Satwa Moon (-636) 7/2 winner. Tanners Court (second), Where's Johnny and Honours Dream were best in for the 3.20 Plumpton, but none mangaed to win. Perhaps they were afraid of each other? Watch for them all soon. Alan King's Awesome George 15/8 winner of the 3.30 Hereford. Recif De Thaix would have come second apart from a terrible blunder at the last. Dhhamaan was thrown in for the 3.40 Wolverhampton, and was going better than anything into the straight, eventually coming third at 22/1. Must win again soon. System bet Alfredtheordinary (-23) 13/2 second. Feeling should also do better soon. Alph was thrown in for the 3.50 Hereford, but finished well back. Look out for it soon. System bet Just Beware 20/1 second. Pass Me A Dime looked certain to finish first or second in the 4.20 Plumpton until falling at the last. Must win soon. Calon Crwbin (-2P05) 150/1 third in the 4.30 Hereford. You can't ignore horses in the Khaled Abdulla colours, and his Beneath almost got up at 12/1 to beat the odds-on favourite Gumnd in the 4.40 Wolverhampton. His Power Series had previously won the 4.10 in a controversial finish. Marsh Court (second) and Lupita were best in for the 4.50 Plumpton, so both should do better very soon. System bet Pomander (-006666) 14/1 winner! Mudita Moment appeared to be going better than anything in the 5.00 Hereford, but did not run on. May be worth a bet in another race soon. Alan King's horse was a short price, and it doesn't always pay to back his favourites. Aureate, Kames Park (fifth) and Gremlin (fourth) were not wanted in the 5.10 Wolverhampton, and all three must be noted shortly. As soon as the jockey starts niggling, as was the case with Aureate, you usually know your fate! I just noticed that all three had a first or second place on the front of their form, which, from past experience, probably explains their poor runs. Wavertree Warrior (fourth) and King's Icon (second) were best in for the 5.40 Wolverhampton, and both can win soon. System bet Join Up (-30) 22/1 third. King Of Rhythm and Viking Awake are others to note for the future, plus Desert Mile, which was smashed into in the betting today.

28th February: False Evidence (-234) 6/1 winner of the 1.10 Leopardstown. Grancore Girl was best in at the weights for the 1.50 Clonmel, but did not seem too keen to win the race. Should do better soon. System bet Ravenclaw (-23) 9/4 winner of the 2.00 Fontwell with Altaranthela (-35) 15/2 second. Official top-rated The Giant Bolster did not seem too keen, and Buffalo Bob should do better soon. Total Excitement came up well in the 2.15 Leopardstown, then did not ride out on the run-in! Keep an eye on it soon. Caramelita should have done better than third in the 2.20 Kempton, and should win soon. Official top-rated Torres Del Paine 8/1 second. Val C led almost all the way in the 2.50 Kempton, only to finish in the ruck! Should win soon. Blast, I looked at Possy Fossil (11/1 winner) too before the race! Turf Time (-26) 9/2 second. Pursuit Of Gold should be worth a bet soon. System bet Or Bleu 6/1 second in the 3.00 Fontwell. System bet Arbor Supreme 12/1 second in the 3.15 Leopardstown. State General and Sahrati are two from the 3.20 Kempton that should have done better, so keep an eye on both. Solarias Quest (-006) 20/1 second.

Alan King's Trenchant 8/1 winner. Lough Derg ran too badly to be true, and must be being primed for a win soon. Mr Ed is definitely due a good run now, after pullling up in the 4.05 Fontwell. Moncadou (-66U) 4/1 winner. My recent tip, Millfields Dreams, (see 22nd February) 25/1 third in the 3.55 Kempton. Database top-rated Natal 25/1 second in the 4.20 Leopardstown.

Maraafeq (-205) (see my tip 7th February) 9/2 winner. System bet Tooman Lane (-320) 8/1 winner of the 4.40 Clonmel. My recent tip, Gallantry, (see 3rd February) 9/2 winner of the 4.55 Kempton. Trafalgar Square is certainly due now. I could not believe the price of Shot From The Hip in the 4.50 Clonmel (6/1). Usually when J P Magnier rides one of his own horses, it's a certainty (as it was today)! Adamo (-065) 25/1 second in the 5.05 Fontwell. System bet Special Token (-23) 100/30 winner of the 5.10 Clonmel with Flamingo's Gold (-36) 16/1 third.

27th February: My birthday! Official top-rated Punjabi 1/6 winner with official second-rated Border Castle 14/1 second.

Son Amix (-266) 5/2 winner of the 1.35 Navan. No More Whispers (-2660) 66/1 third in the 1.50 Chepstow. Evan Williams' outsiders are often worth a bet. Petito (going well in second until being pulled wide for no apparent reason) and Don't Tell Baby are two which should have done better. All Sonsilver (2.25 Chepstow) was withdrawn today, but should win soon. Escort'men (-5B) 16/1 winner of the 2.00 Kempton. My recent tip Mustajed 16/1 second in the 2.40 Lingfield. Can win soon. System bet Razor Royale (-240) 11/1 winner of the 3.05 Kempton. Oedipe should be worth a bet soon. System bet Oscar Gogo (-030) 14/1 winner of the 4.05 Chepstow. Gunnasayso is due very soon. William Bonney (4.10 Kempton) is better than it has shown recently, and is tipped for an early success. Stolt (3.15 Lingfield) is another to look out for soon. Advanced (5.25 Lingfield) must win a race again soon.

26th February: Official top-rated Peveril (Henderson) 11/4 winner of the 2.10 Warwick with system bet Court In Motion 5/6 second. Little George ran on late in fourth and may do better soon over further? Willie Mullins' Cru (-254) 8/1 winner of the 2.15 Thurles with, coincidentally, Willie's Girl (-040) 33/1 second. If I'd known that I would have got on! General Tufto (-25) 9/1 winner of the 2.30 Southwell. I suspect that horse is rather better than its current mark. Sadeek and Provost were by far best in, but ran no sort of race. Both are due soon, along with Hilbre Court, which also ran poorly today. Conna Castle was best in for the 2.45 Thurles, but fell at the last when in second place. Should be worth a bet soon. Glenfinn Captain also seemed reluctant to get into the race. System bet Not My Choice (-23) even money winner of the 3.05 Southwell with system bet Sea Land 13/2 third. Bo McGinty (9/4 second) was my top-rated, although Tournedos, on old form, would have eaten these. Arctic Echo was best in for the 3.15 Warwick, but is an old stager now, and fortunately I put it in a forecast with Captain Tidds, which looked like an improver. Nous Voila (second in the 4.55 Warwick) is still thrown in when wanted. This often happens, that they come second, third or nowhere after a win, to give the inmpression that they have reached their limit at the weights. System bet Saddlers Bend (all duck's eggs) 9/2 winner of the 5.10 Wolverhampton. Tag Team (third) is thrown in shortly. Thebes (almost a system bet) 11/2 winner of the 5.40.

Can win soon, especially in a handicap. Misala (-26) 5/4 winner of the 2.25 Thurles with Desert Conquest (-4050) 20/1 third. Zen Factor (-053) 13/2 winner of the 2.30 Huntingdon, with database top-rated Apache Chant 9/2 second and Gunslinger (-256) 12/1 third. Carrig An Uisce is worth a bet soon. My recent tip, Dunaskin, was wanted today (the money spoke) and won the 2.40 Lingfield at 8/15 (not much value in that!). Major Glendinning (-4U5) 20/1 second in the 2.55 Thurles with Billytheship (-40) 20/1 third. Leading Diamonds (led most) and Lady Roberta (fourth) should do better soon in Ireland.

Victory Quest wins again in the 3.15 Southwell, but I wanted Dan Buoy for the forecast (only ran on when it was too late!)

System bet Set Back (-400) 7/1 winner of the 3.45 Southwell with system bet Thaliwarru (-020) 5/1 second! Anjomarba is better than its third place today.

System bet Pipo De Re 4/1 second in the 4.10 Huntingdon. Josear will do better next time. Westwood made a poor effort in the 4.20 Southwell, and should do better soon. The same applies to Wyatt Earp, which was well in here. Unfortunately you can't boil an egg by most runners in these races! Another Miracle (sys+1) 25/1 winner of the 4.40 Huntingdon with Another Storm (-46) 7/1 second and Fleur De Vassy (-060) 9/1 third. Bring It On Home ran on for fourth when it was too late (typical in a 15 horse race!) and will be worth a bet soon, along with Karathaena and Konigsbote. Guildenstern was best in for the 4.50 Southwell, but typically was useless, and its stable companion and second rated Resplendent Nova (-0606) 3/1 won the race! All right, if you leave out Guildenstern, the next three were in the right order. Amazing! Laa Rayb (5.00 Meydan) was going so well that it had to be pulled back, so watch for it somewhere soon! Pendragon (-233) 11/1 winner of the 5.20 Southwell with Fitzolini (-263) 12/1 second. Plenilune ran on again for fourth when it was too late, but refused to go past for third. Must win soon, along with Captain Imperial, which was hacking along at one stage! Rub Of The Relic is also due soon. I thought Grizedale was due in the 5.40 Kempton, but after being up there early, it dropped back. Imperium is another that must do better very soon. How patient you have to be when following these well-handicapped horses! System bet Angel's Quest 3/1 second. Durham Town (-4066) 33/1 winner of the 6.10 Kempton. Top-rated Swift Return was not in the first two!

24th February: What a great start for the system! System bet Cool Mission (-23) 22/1 winner of the 1.30 Doncaster! Pity I didn't put Henderson's horse (9/1) in for the forecast! System bet Noble Greek (-23) 1/4 winner of the 1.40 Lingfield. Cloudy Spirit (-203) 16/1 second in the 1.50 Ludlow with system bet Brimley (-20) 40/1 third. My other bet, Five Out Of Five, made a bad mistake at the last to finish fourth, but appeared to be going better than anything. Worth keeping an eye on. Irish Symphony (-356) 12/1 second in the 2.00 Doncaster. System bet Our Gar (-23) 8/1 third in the 2.00 Fairyhouse. My tip from two days ago (see 22nd February) Sweet Applause (-064) 25/1 winner of the 2.10 Lingfield! Loyal Royal must do better soon!

System bet Chief Dan George 7/1 winner with Tamarinbleu (-2060) 4/1 second in the 3.40 Doncaster. Ten Down, second in the 3.55 Lingfield, should win a handicap soon (running in a claimer and badly in officially today). System bet One More Dinar (-PUP0P) 100/1 second in the 4.05 Ludlow. Dune Raider must be worth a bet now! Rapid City (6.00 Kempton) is thrown in now when wanted. System bet Valentino Swing (-20) 9/1 winner of the 6.30 Kempton. Database top-rated Machinate (almost all duck's eggs) 8/1 winner of the 8.30 Kempton with seocnd rated Red Current 14/1 second! Third placed Motu should win soon.

23rd February: Posh Emily (-35) 9/2 second in the 2.20 Taunton, with Keyneema (-36) 14/1 third. Compton Star and Ruby Valentine (fourth) should be worth a bet soon. My recent tip, Kinkeel, 7/1 winner with system bet Troodos Jet 11/2 second in the 2.30 Southwell. If he can jump, Kerkabellec should be worth backing soon.

I backed Dansimar and Sam Lord (second and third). Ivory Lace (4.10 Lingfield) is thrown in when wanted (which was not today!) System bet Castleburg (-230) 16/1 second. I am sure that Beyond Moonbeams (4.20 Taunton) could have won the race, finishing second at 25/1. Look out for it. None of the top-rated figured in the 4.30 Southwell, so keep an eye on Divy, Pension Plan and Playing The Field. Alan King's Flaming Charlie easy 11/2 winner. System bet Dermatologiste (-P3P) 66/1 second! My recent tip, Diane's Choice, (see 11th February) 7/1 winner of the 4.40 Lingfield! Kalligal, Spoof Master and Diddums are all due a good run soon. Cardinal (-500) 16/1 third. Paddy The Piper was thrown in for the 4.50 Taunton, but fell after making ground near the end ( I think it was looking for third place). Keep an eye on that and another faller, Mioche D'Estruval. You never know what the agenda is for runners in these hunter chases! My Sweet Georgia (5.10 Lingfield) must make a better effort soon. Fortunately I also backed Make Amends (6/1 winner), which seems to be an improving sort and worth following. Three horses which appeared afraid of each other in the 5.20 Taunton were: Devito, The Composer and Saint Par (running on fifth). It's a bit galling when none of the top-rated make an effort! All ran in snatches and were obviously better than their finishing positions. All are due a good run very soon. Herald Angel (-W34 & B/F) 28/1 winner.Monsieur Cadou (-500) 12/1 second.

22nd February: Our Kes (fourth) and Desert Hawk (missed the break) were thrown in for the 2.10 Wolverhampton and both will do better soon. Stravita (typical system form) 12/1 third. Barbirolli is another due soon. Your Gifted and Micky's Knockoff (third) were best in for the 2.40 Wolverhampton, but did not run up to form. Keep an eye on both of them soon. Binnion Bay and Wavertree Warrior were my two best in for the 2.55 Lingfield, finishing first and second at 9/1 and 11/4. I also wanted Ermine Grey, but that failed to shine. Still not a bad forecast! System bet Well Of Echoes (-260) 18/1 winner of the 3.10 Wolverhampton! Geezers Colours (second) was best in, with Shake On It worth a bet again soon. Database top-rated Prince Of Thebes 9/2 winner of the 3.30 Lingfield. Mercoliano (-45) 6/1 winner of the 3.45 Wolverhampton with Blues Forever (-505) 14/1 second. Keep an eye on the favourite Heading To First, which ran very poorly and Johnston's Ancient Times. Bold Ring looked like winning the 4.05 Lingfield, but eventually came third. That one and Millfields Dreams are due soon. I backed the on-paper certainty Sir Edwin Landseer, I backed my seond-rated Nawaaff each-way in the 4.40 Lingfield, and what happened? Elusive Ronnie ran on like a train at the end and pipped both of them! Were they in slow motion or what? One of those totally inexplicable events! Sweet Applause will be worth a bet soon.

Another of my recent tips, The City Kid, finished joint second at 7/1. System bet Bariolo (-460) 1/4 winner of the 5.10 Lingfield from system bet Star Choice (-23) evens!

Official top-rated Calzaghe 3/1 winner of the 2.25 Uttoxeter. Original Fly was well in at its best, and should be worth a bet soon. Will Winged Farasi take one more run before getting competitive? Souffleur (-P04) 8/1 winner of the 2.30 Haydoack. Afsoun is running well below par, and must do better soon. My recent tip, Tender Falcon, (see 21st January) 20/1 second in the 2.45 Ascot. Askazar will be worth a bet soon (ran on late today). Orpsie Boy ran on from a mile back in the 2.50 Lingfield and must win soon, along with Orchard Supreme and system bet Benandonner (8/1 second). Mahadee (sys+1) 12/1 winner. System bet Kennel Hill (which should have won on the ratings) 8/1 third in the 3.00 Haydock. one of my old favourites, Monet's Garden, 11/2 winner of the 3.15 Ascot with the other class horse, Alberta's Run 13/2 second.

My recent tip, Mohayer 11/2 winner of the 4.05 Uttoxeter with system bet L'Eau Du Nil 16/1 second. Andreas (4.20 Ascot) was going far better than its rivals, (I was counting my money) but was not ridden out, and will be worth a bet very soon. Top-rated Takajan did nothing in the 4.30 Lingfield, and since it will be a system bet next time, keep your eye on it! Mint Whip (-644) 9/1 winner. Alan King's Sweet Irony 20/1 third in the 4.55 Ascot. Hoh Hoh Hoh should have walked the 5.05 Lingfield, finishing only third. Four horse race again! Must do better soon. Extra Smooth (5.10 Uttoxeter) is very well in when wanted, and was going well until backing out. The same applies to Supreme Piper, and both should do better soon. Acosta was ridden like a donkey, but unsurprisingly ran on into fourth. Don't you just hate it when they do that? Database top-rated Cowboy Boots 7/2 winner of the 5.15 Haydock. I noted Sphinx come up apparently hacking in one of the races today (won by Fredo), before backing out, and suggest you keep a careful eye on that one.

19th February: My tip from 8th February, and database top-rated Magnitude, 7/4 winner of the 12.55 Lingfield. King's Topic was second-rated, but dropped out tamely. Must be worth a bet shortly. Hucking Hero (-605) 7/2 winner of the 1.25 Lingfield. Cool Roxy (1.35 Fakenham) ran on really well for second, and could be worth backing soon, perhaps at Fakenham again. Meydan Dubai (1.55 Lingfield) continues to disappoint, but that one and Count Ceprano should be worth a bet, probably in a handicap, soon. Also keep an eye on the well-handicapped Ishibee (system bet next time). Database top-rated and system bet Nous Voila, tipped by me several times, 5/1 winner of the 2.05 Fakenham. The reason it was a system bet (-405) is that it was fifth of seven last time, with two horses pulling up. System bet Montiyra (-400) 20/1 second. Tarkesar should be worth a bet soon. Cavalry Guard never got into the 2.25 Lingfield, but must do better soon. Copper King is also still very well handicapped for another win. I thought Charlie Delta was going better than anything into the straight, so keep an eye on it. Punjabi Army (once 128 rated) was thrown in for the 2.35 Fakenham on old form, but pulled up, and must be waiting for another race before long. Database top-rated and system bet Wind Instrument 12/1 winner of the 2.45 Ascot. I got the forecast with the improving Maktu (7/1 second).Sovereignty was thrown in for the 3.00 Lingfield, but never got into contention.

System bet Bantry Bere 5/2 winner of the 4.20 Fakenham. Top-rated Ungaro managed to fall this time, along with most of the others! Blue Teen, formerly trained by Nicholls, 8/1 winner of the 5.05 Sandown. Annia Galeria (5.15 Wolverhampton) finished last today, and is now worth a bet next time. A horse that I tipped to follow a while back, Admirable Duque, (see 3rd Sept and subsequently) 11/1 winner of the 5.45 Wolverhampton! Kames Park (6/1 second) is still well handicapped, and can win again soon.

18th February: Mr Preacher Man (typical system form) 13/2 winner of the 1.40 Kelso from system bet Double Default 7/2 second. Neither would probably have figured if the market leaders had not fallen. Two horses with all noughts for form, Step To It 8/1 winner and Magic Millie 10/1 second in the 2.50 Southwell. System bet Bob's Dream 5/2 winner of the 2.10 Kelso with Sotovik (sys+1) 11/2 second and top-rated Ormello 5/1 third. Pillar Of Hercules (fourth) is also very well in.

Henderson's second string?, Universal Soldier 20/1 winner of the 2.35 Ffos Las with system bet Silver Token 50/1 second! Or De Grugy (-304) 9/2 winner of the 2.45 Kelso.

Dunaskin (3.30 Southwell) finished third, but is thrown in for a race soon. Colline De Fleurs was very well in for the 3.45 Ffos Las, but petered out into fifth after coming up easily. Worth a bet soon. Tara Taylor (sys+1) 15/2 winner. Gouranga will be worth a bet soon. System bet Seeking Power (-530) 40/1 winner of the 3.55 Kelso with system bet Reckless Venture 9/1 second and The Maystone (sys+2) 12/1 third! Tully Hill and Do L'Enfant D'eau are due soon. Guto underperformed today in the 4.05 Southwell, and can win again soon. Bo McGinty (-26) 5/1 second and system bet First Swallow 6/1 third. Calmdownmate should win again soon.

First Look and Dix Villez were best in for the 4.30 Kelso, but one fell and the other finished third. Both can win soon. Way West (4.40 Southwell) should be worth a bet soon (here or in Ireland), along with Charles Parnell. My recent tip, Kensington, 15/2 third. Take The Stand, Fundamentalist and Crystal D'Ainay were the three top-rated in the 4.55 Ffos Las, with only Crystal D'Ainay getting placed. Take the Stand's saddle slipped, unseating the rider. All three should do better soon. Magic Haze (sys+1) 10/1 winner of the 5.10 Southwell. Best in Plenilune only ran on when it was too late to grab fourth. It was obvious that it could have done much better (the jockey was obviously holding it back), so keep an eye on it!

17th February: System bet Grand Zouki (-400) 66/1 second in the 1.50 Musselburgh. System bet Healys Bar 7/2 second in the 1.55 Punchestown. Beaten favourite Cesium 9/1 winner of the 2.10 Leicester, with my pick, Thedreamstillalive running on well for second at 14/1 and system bet Massini Sunset 25/1 third.

Belem Ranger (-26) 20/1 winner of the 2.50 Musselburgh. Briscoe Place was going well until falling and should win a hunter chase soon.

Cousin Nicky (12/1 second) and Bubble Boy were best in for the 3.10 Leicester. Watch them both soon. System bet Marcus 15/2 third. Meydan Dubai is running desperately below form, and despite running second into the straight, dropped out. Must do better very soon! I also backed Fong's Alibi (second). Official top-rated Hallstatt 7/2 third. Jardin De Vienne is very well in and made good ground in the 3.40 Leicester, only to drop into sixth. Will do much better very soon! Second-rated Devils River (-26) 15/2 second (I was sure it had won!). Kings Majesty was out of the handicap in the 3.50 Musselburgh, but will do much better in a lesser race soon. System bet Spare Shilling (-030) 33/1 winner of the 3.55 Punchestown! Aviso was gambled today in the 4.00 Lingfield, but made no effort to get near the front. Watch for the money again soon! Top-rated Oscar D'Angron made no effort to get into the 4.10 Leicester, and there should be an enquiry into its running! It's one of those days today, with Ormus, which had a good chance, falling early. Strobe was another faller which had a good chance. Bid For Glory (4.30 Lingfield) looked like winning, putting on a real spurt, but, as usual, packed up to come third! Must win soon, and keep an eye on St Savarin (66/1 today). Grannie McPhee was quite well in, finishing second at 18/1. Typical! Ticket To Ride finished fourth in a 14 horse race! Should be worth a bet soon, along with Zimbabwe (fifth) and Jacksons Pier. Lytham (see my comment 10th February) 9/4 winner of the 5.10 Kempton. Sir Haydn is definitely due now, and Andaman Sunset was backed today, although finishing nowhere. The outsider, Athwaab (-233) 10/1 winner of the 5.40 Kempton. I was too suspicious to back it, but it is by Cadeaux Genereux! Lord Of The Reins (-366) 15/2 winner of the 6.10 Kempton. System bet Straight Face 11/2 second in the 6.40 Kempton. System bet and my recent tip, Dingaan (-460) (see my tip on its last run, 1st October) 10/1 winner of the 7.10 Kempton! Confuchsias (third) should win soon. System bet Sweet Avon (-23) 7/1 winner of the 7.40 Kempton. What more proof do you need of the efficacy of the system?

16th February: Makshoof and Bertbrand (2.00 Southwell), oddly from the same stable, are both very well in and showed up for a long way today. Both are worth a bet soon. Kingsdale Orion and Shifting Gold (2.10 Newcastle) both ran better than their finishing positions, and should be worth a bet again soon. Tail Of The Bank (sys+1) 4/1 winner. Si Bien (-064) 11/1 third. Spirit Of Darley appeared to be going better than the winner coming into the straight in the 2.30 Southwell, but faded tamely. Worth another bet, probably. Wrongwayround (Swinbank) missed the break, but came an easy second. Worth my little each-way bet at 20/1! System bet Diavoleria 5/1 winner of the 2.40 Newcastle. Damn! One of my selections, Moscow Mischief, went the wrong way and another, Maolisa, finished third! I thought Obe Gold would have beaten Flores Sea in the 3.00 Southwell, but the betting proved right, as often happens. Well, they are not going to waste their money on the favourite, are they? Database top-rated Categorical 13/2 winner with system bet Seven Is Lucky (-40P) 25/1 second in the 3.10 Newcastle. Mirpour and Mistral De La Cour may be worth a bet soon. Databse top-rated Trans Sonic 4/1 winner of the 3.30 Southwell. I also fancied Mozayada (second) and Elusive Fame for the tricast, but the last-named threatened, then failed miserably. Should be worth a bet soon. Ah, but I should have done the forecast too - silly me! Nightjar was not at the races today in the 4.00 Southwell, and will probably do better next time. Another system bet, Seek The Fair Land, 15/8 second. The winner, Bel Cantor (11/2) always seems to have a bit in hand when winning. Ingleby Arch was not wanted today, and may do better back over 6 furlongs. Skipping Chapel (3.40 Newcastle) flattered briefly, only to finish fourth. Worth a bet soon, along with Sadlers Cove. Devils Delight is still well in when wanted (stole my hard-earned cash today!). I really fancied Yawary in the 4.30 Southwell, and it won, but Lords Seat should have done better than fifth and should be worth a bet soon. Rescent (third at 40/1) is also quite well in. My two top-rated, Top Cloud and Crackadee (4.10 Newcastle) ran appallingly and both will do better very soon. Sycho Fred looked like coming to win until falling, and should also be noted. Swords was hacking behind the leaders in the 5.00 Southwell, but did not go through with it. Worth a bet again soon. Database top-rated (including claim) Mister Pete 6/1 winner of the 4.40 Newcastle with second-rated and system bet Ardesia (-60066P) 20/1 fourth (worth a bet soon). Locked Inthepocket (-26) 7/2 second and Too Cool To Fool (-35600) 5/1 third.

Joint top-rated Spinning Well (-244) 3/1 winner of the 3.10 Wolverhampton. Pity, I wanted Monaco Dream (fourth) for the forecast! Bottom rated Wee Ziggy 80/1 third (almost a system bet). Warne's Way ran a stinker in the 3.30 Plumpton, but must be worth a bet soon, along with Gee Dee Nen. I also think that Dot's Delight is better than its third place here, as it always seems to win when backed (not today). My two picks for the 3.50 Catterick, system bet King In Waiting and Rare Coincidence (-255) 6/1 second and 18/1 third. Pity that the odds-on favourite oenologue appeared to have plenty in hand! Database top-rated Boo (-26) 9/1 second in the 4.10 Wolverhampton with second rated Slip 5/1 third.. The winner, Formidable Guest, appears to be capable of winning anytime, and should be followed. Denied me the tricast! Storymaker (-450) 33/1 second in the 4.20 Catterick. Ouste and Double Vodka will be worth a bet soon. Shoreacres would probably have won the 4.30 Plumpton if not falling late on, and should be noted soon. System bet Inthejungle 25/1 third.

Bringewood Belle (3.25 Exeter) looked to be going well, and could be worth a bet soon in slightly lesser grade.

Caspar Of Tarsus (-46) 14/1 winner of the 4.00 Hereford. Having just noted it previously in the database, I was rather annoyed to miss it! System bet Brandy And Pep 28/1 second. Quiet Bob in third also had system type form. Bob's Temtation and Moon Melody ran as if their legs were tied together, and can do much better soon.

Should do better next time. Mudita Moment (-34) 66/1 third in the 4.55 Kempton. A Nicky Henderson 1-2 with Prince Of Pirates (6/4) and Bobs Worth (5/1). Do the other trainers back off when Henderson has runners? Royal Mile should have done better. System bet Bluebok 12/1 dead-heat second in the 5.15 Wolverhampton. Triskaidekaphobia (fourth) looked like winning for a long way, and should win again soon. System bet and my recent tip (see 23rd September), Dhhamaan, 14/1 winner of the 7.45 Wolverhampton!

11th February: Paddy's Tern (led most) and Hareem are two from the 1.40 Huntingdon to look out for, and Immense would almost certainly have won apart from a terrible mistake at the last. Unconsoled (fourth in the 1.50 Southwell) is very well in when wanted, but wouldn't get into the places after a slow start today. Viking Awake is also worth a bet soon. Database top-rated and system bet King Jack 14/1 winner of the 2.10 Huntingdon with Mr Newton (sys+2) 25/1 second and system bet Tuscar Rock 12/1 third! South Bank (fourth) will be worth a bet soon.

Alan King again with Hurricane Milly, 11/2 winner of the 4.40 Huntingdon (I got 12/1)!

My recent tips, Guildenstern (-46) 13/2, Sovereignty (-05) 8/1 and system bet Louisiade (-430) 16/1 fought out the finish in the 6.30 Kempton. There was very little between them in my database. Blast, I left out Guildenstern and did Cavalry Guard instead. The latter must win soon, along with Silidan. Kings Sabre (heavily backed tonight), Grizedale and Diane's Choice were best in for the 7.00 Kempton. Kings Sabre, despite leading most of the way, eased off and dropped out! Must win soon, and keep an eye on the other two mentioned. System bet Sendreni 14/1 second. I expected Satwa Gold (9/1) to win the 7.30 Kempton, but it was just held off by the talented Alsadaa (6/1). I get fed up tipping Vhujon (8.30 Kempton), but the truth is that it is hugely underperforming at present. This cannot go on, and it must get competitive very soon.
I am considering restarting my daily selections or daily top-rated, but need a few subscribers to proceed. Please email me if you are interested.

10th February: Vulcanite (1.25 Lingfield) looked much better than its finishing position and should do better soon, along with Atlantic Tiger.

Also keep an eye on Le Seychellois in a small hunter chase. Top-rated Bob Hall was a steal at 2/1. Divy should have done better in the 5.00 Ludlow, and should be worth a bet soon. Also keep an eye on Rappel D'Estruval, which ran well for a long way. System bet Gleaming Spirit 20/1 winner of the 5.10 Kempton. Blast! I backed Grayson's other runner, top-rated Woodcote (missed break and ran on nicely late!). Romantic Verse (fourth) will be worth a bet soon, along with Woodcote, Town House and Sir Loin. Lytham (6.10 Kempton) (-06) seems capable of winning whenever wanted, as I have noticed in the past. Worth keeping an eye on. Dobravany (-34) 5/1 second with Desert Fairy (-46) 20/1 third. Turkish Sultan and Inquistress can win again soon. Both Little Pete and Gone Hunting should have beaten Caprio if they had run to form in the 7.10 Kempton, so watch out for them both soon.

You can add Henry Daly to your list of bumper trainers, as he has had two winners in the last two days, with Safran De Cotte (5/1) today.

8th February: Mister Pink (1.50 Lingfield) finished fourth today, but is thrown in when wanted soon.

System bet Kensington (see my tip 1st February) 14/1 second in the 3.30 Wolverhampton. I was suspicious of the big price for Kingsmaite, and that proved well founded (last).

Is thrown in when wanted, along with Pancake. Magnifico (third 6/1) keeps running on late for a place. If it ran properly, it would win!

System bet Peace Corps (-23) 3/1 winner of the 5.00 Wolverhampton. Capeability (fourth) is capable of better (excuse the pun!) and should win soon. Magnitude (fourth in the 5.30 Wolverhampton) looked like coming to win the race, and will be worth a bet soon. New World Order will also be worth a bet, but perhaps not next time (first place to get rid of). Having backed both of Bowring's first two runners, (Kingsmaite and Xpres Maite), I was sick when his last one, High Five Society, finished second at 66/1! King Of Connacht (-644) 14/1 third.

Wishes Or Watches and Silver Dollars (second) in the 3.50 Fontwell should both do better soon. System bet Yankee Holiday (-23P) 18/1 second in the 4.00 Musselburgh (mainly by default, I must admit). Dunaskin was thrown in for the 4.10 Southwell, but they must have known something, because it finished only third! Must win soon.

Dickie Le Davoir (1.25 Lingfield) is due soon, along with Goodbye Cash and Count Ceprano. Iris De Balme looked to be going best in the 1.45 Wetherby, but faded late (perhaps unfit).

I ignored Alan King's Swansbrook (-356), winner at 33/1 in the 4.20 Ascot! Red Harbour (-36) 5/1 second. The betting seems to mean nothing with these types! So King, Nicholls and Henderson first, second and third. What's new? Billie Magern ran a shocker, and must be watched, perhaps not for a couple of races, when it has got rid of some first places.

22nd January: Two of my recent tips, Eastern Gift 10/1 second and Wavertree Warrior 20/1 third in the 12.30 Lingfield. Database top-rated Nous Voila fourth in the 1.50 Catterick, with my recent tip, Royal Flynn 17/2 second. Insignia is due a better run soon. Freddie's Girl (-26) 4/1 winner of the 1.00 Lingfield. Mrs Boss was best in at the weights, but seemed to hang fire and must win soon. Database top-rated John Forbes 5/1 winner of the 1.20 Catterick. Should have done the forecast! My recent tip, Peopleton Brook, (see 8th January) 25/1 winner of the 1.30 Lingfield! Couldn't have it at these weights, though. Database top-rated Sir Edwin Landseer looked a possible winner, but finished only third. With a 7lb claimer on and a huge drift in the betting, portents were not good. Must win soon. Sendali (-46) 11/1 winner of the 1.50 Catterick with The Gloves Are Off (sys+1) 20/1 third. Calatagan (made ground, then hung fire) and Bureaucrat will be worth a bet soon. Grand Vista (2.00 Lingfield) did nothing today (mainly because it got left in the stalls!), but is thrown in when wanted. Keep an eye on Spiritual Art soon. My recent tip, Herecomestanley, (see 28th December) 5/1 third in the 2.20 Catterick. Must win soon. Ballabriggs (-203) 13/2 winner. Do L'Enfant D'eau (bad mistake and eventually pulled up) is worth considering for a future race. I thought Big Nige was going to come second to complete my forecast in the 2.35 Lingfield, but it got pipped for second by Zuwaar (-46)! Keep an eye on Fast Forward (2.55 Catterick), which went with the front two, then pulled up. I am sure that horse has more to give soon (just testing today). My recent tip, Vinces, (see 14th January) 7/1 winner of the 3.10 Lingfield! New World Order is worth a bet soon, as is City Stable. One of my old favourites, Carrietau 13/2 winner of the 3.30 Catterick. System bet Farne Island looked like winning until falling at the second last. Worth a bet soon, along with Tranos (badly hampered and unseating). Sadeek (-040) 8/1 third in the 3.45 Lingfield. Is thrown in when wanted, and did not make much effort today. The 7lb claimer obviously made the difference on 14/1 winner Expensive Problem. King's Icon is messing around until wanted again (watch for the money). My recent tip. Prince Charlemagne, (see 14th January) easy 3/1 winner of the 4.15 Lingfield with Valkyrie (-34) 20/1 second and system bet Lady Pilot 33/1 third! Tavalu may be being prepared for a hurdles run, when it will be worth a bet. All You Need should have won the 4.35 Wolverhampton, but typically, after finishing second last time, came nowhere (and had a 7lb claimer on it). Should be worth a bet next time. El Potro is also due soon. Annia Galeria (5.05 Wolverhampton) was best in on old form, but dropped out after leading. Should be worth a bet before long. Exceed Power should also win soon. Blue Bajan was hacking all over its rivals in the 5.35 Wolverhampton, but contrived to get itself beaten by Mister New York! Should have won at these weights. If this was a genuine result, then Mister New York must be a better horse than it has shown so far! My recent tip, Full Toss, 15/2 third. Aeroplane was also very disappointing and must win soon. Meikle Barfil (-665) 16/1 winner of the 8.05 Wolverhampton. Was well in on old form, but not as much so as Nawaaff (fifth) which should win very soon.

21st January: El Distintivo (-00) 50/1 third in the 1.00 Taunton. System bet and database top-rated Dickie Le Davoir 9/1 second in the 1.20 Southwell. can win soon, along with Ronnie Howe (fourth). Official top-rated San Marino 14/1 third in the 1.30 Taunton. Had to be in the frame ( I thought it was going better than the second until eased up)! Database top-rated War Of Attrition 6/1 winner of the 1.35 Gowran Park! System bet Highland River 20/1 winner of the 1.50 Southwell with system bet Russian Invader dead-heat third at 4/1! Inside Story and Russian Invader will be worth a bet soon, and don't ignore Black Falcon, which is still extremely well handicapped. Database top-rated and almost a system bet Rudivale (third 11/1) would probably have won the 2.00 Taunton if it had jumped straight, and should be worth a bet soon, along with Pistol Desbois. Look out for Hilbre Court and Orpen Wide from the 2.20 Southwell. The latter was too bad to be true, and can win on the flat or over jumps soon. Elusive Fame (-26) 17/2 second with Im Ova Ere Dad (-26) 6/1 third. Official top-rated Maggio (9/1) might have won and would definitely have finished second before falling at the final hurdle in the 2.30 Taunton. All Guns Firing and Cozy Tiger were the two best in for the 2.50 Southwell, with the latter winning at 13/2, but the former useless! Keep an eye on All Guns Firing shortly. I backed Benfleet Boy in the 3.00 Taunton, finishing second at 8/1. Tender Falcon should do better very soon, along with Right Stuff (fell). Jered should have won the 3.05 Gowran Park, but was a miserable third. System bet Orpheus Valley 9/2 second. Alphacino was best in for the 3.20 Southwell, but, as expected at 12/1, cruised upsides then finished fourth. Will do better when wanted. That's the problem with four horse races! Database top-rated Wizard Of Edge 9/2 gambled winner of the 3.30 Taunton. Blast! I did second-rated Crank Hill (third) for the forecast! My recent tip, Bajan Pride, (see 14th January) 7/2 winner of the 3.50 Southwell with Great Bounder (-2060) 2/1 second. Kannon was not pushed too hard and will do better soon. My comment about Alan King's bumper runners still holds good, with Way Back When finishing third at 11/1 in the 4.00 Taunton. Previous winner Mizurka was the 7/2 winner. Around A Pound (-35) 14/1 second in the 4.05 Gowran Park. All You Need was thrown in for the 4.20 Wolverhampton, but after looking like coming to win the race, finished only third. Must win soon. Sys +2 Top Flight Splash 14/1 winner with system bet Almatlaie 22/1 second. Others to keep an eye on: Djalalabad and Bertbrand. System bet Billy Red 11/1 winner of the 4.50 Wolverhampton, with system bet Bel Cantor 12/1 third. Top-rated Vhujon was hacking behind, but did not go through with its effort. Must win soon now. Enfuriating the way that they are allowed to put a string of poor runs together, then bang! in they come. Green Park (made no effort) is also due again soon, probably next time.

20th January: System bet Nubar Boy 7/4 winner of the 12.50 Lingfield. Top and second official rated Pastel Blue and Castleburg 6/4 winner and 16/1 second in the 1.55 Lingfield. System bet Wild Cane Ridge 33/1 third in the 2.15 Newcastle. Mister Green (-25) 8/1 winner of the 2.30 Lingfield. Youngt Buddy (-006) 33/1 winner of the 2.50 Newcastle. Safin should be worth a bet soon. Toy Gun (-656) 11/1 winner of the 3.25 Newcastle with Instant Shot (-46) 16/1 second and system bet The Fabricator 7/1 third. Indy Mood (fell) is well in to win a race before long. Silver Prelude (3.40 Lingfield) is still well handicapped, despite dropping out today, as is Fromsong (second). Ten Down is another due a win. From a horse rated around 100, Woodcote has now sadly slipped to a rating of 43! Has it lost all its ability? We shall see! System bet Diklers Oscar 7/4 winner of the 4.00 Newcastle. Golden Dixie and Don Pele (4.10 Lingfield) must both be due a win in the near future.

19th January: System bet and database top-rated No Panic 28/1 third in the 1.00 Southwell. Ouste (-54P) (see my tip 15th November, two runs back) 50/1 second! Database top-rated Kinkeel (see my tip 13th December) 20/1 winner of the 1.30 Southwell with my third rated Troodos Jet 14/1 second! Peak Seasons will be worth a bet soon. System bet Ban Uisce (-000) 14/1 winner of the 1.40 Folkestone. Silver Prophet is much better than it showed, and should be noted for a good run soon. Jadalee (2.00 Southwell) was not pushed, and on flat form must do better soon. There was money for Mister Pink in the 2.10 Folkestone, but it pulled up! Must be due a better run soon, as also Bushwacker (looked like getting second before being overtaken close home). Mrs Boss (2.20 Wolverhampton) finished only fourth, but appeared to be going better than anything, and is well handicapped for the future. Born Again (-24) 50/1 third in the 2.30 Southwell. Aggravation was never put into the race, but I feel sure there is more to come, possibly in a handicap over further than two miles. Official top-rated Diktalina 11/4 winner of the 2.40 Folkestone. Typical! Loyal Royal was best in for the 2.50 Wolverhampton, but at 16/1 finished fourth! Should win soon. Blast! I did top-rated Dan Buoy (winner 10/1) and Tarateeno (12/1 second) each-way in the 3.00 Southwell, but didn't do the forecast!

18th January: I can't believe the ride that Desert Dreamer received in the 2.20 Wolverhampton. I can almost guarantee that horse will win very shortly. Small races are a menace! Evella (-246) 11/2 winner of the 2.40 Plumpton. System bet Turf Time 7/2 winner of the 2.50 Wolverhampton. My tip of several occasions, and top-rated, Uncle Eli, would have won the 3.10 Plumpton, but unseated at the last! This left my second rated, Noble Bily to win at 9/2. New Den (3.20 Wolverhampton), should have done better, along with Always Dixie, and both could be worth a bet soon. The Pious Prince was thrown in for the 3.40 Plumpton, but finished only fourth. Must win soon. Not much else to report today, although Keepholdin was well in for the 4.00 Fakenham, finishing only third after looking likely to win.

17th January: System bet Action Master 9/2 winner of the 12.45 Thurles. Official top-rated The Hurl 9/4 winner, with second rated Grange Alainn 9/4 second in the 1.00 Fairyhouse. Prairie Call (-243) 11/2 winner of the 1.15 Thurles. Grancore Girl did not show, but must be better than that! Ag Dul Suas (-10F) 33/1 third. System bet Call Me Mulligan 20/1 second in the 1.35 Ffos Las. Mansony and Snowy Morning (1.30 Fairyhouse) should win races soon. Blazing Bailey (second) should have won the 2.10 Ffos Las on hurdles from, and should win a chase before long.

Magenta Strait, helped by the 5lb claim, 4/1 winner of the 2.30 Wolverhampton with system bet Blue Neptune 9/1 very close third (but it was a 7 horse race). Systen bet Gold Award 2/1 winner of the 2.50 Ffos Las. French Saulaie is worth a bet soon. System bet Elysian Rock (and official top-rated) 16/1 winner of the 2.55 Thurles with second-rated West Ship Master 16/1 second! System bet Mekong Miss 18/1 winner of the 3.05 Wolverhampton with Spring Hawk (-346) 12/1 second. Terminate is well in when wanted. System bet Marodima (3.20 Ffos Las) keeps running in front, then backing out. Must run better soon. System bet Moon Over Miami 12/1 second. System bet Rock Diplomat 7/1 third in the 3.10 Fairyhouse with Mcalpine (sys+1) 12/1 second. System bet Libre 4/1 third in the 3.40 Wolverhampton. My recent tip, Kirstys Lad (-346) 4/1 second.

My recent tip Matsunosuke 9/2 winner of the 4.10 Wolverhampton. System bet Teeraha 80/1 third in the 4.40 Wolverhampton.

16th January: Monsieur Georges, Jades Double and Mycenean Prince (12.45 Huntingdon) should all be worth a bet soon. Sir Punjabi (-540) 9/1 third. I fancied the well-weighted Cupid's Glory in the 1.00 Lingfield, and it finished second at 12/1. Can win soon. My recent tip, Jeer, 5/1 winner of the 2.10 Lingfield. Alfie Tupper and Rapid City are due a win soon. Thedreamstillalive should have done much better in the 2.25 Huntingdon and can win soon. Exceedthewildman (-334) 6/1 winner of the 2,40 Lingfield. In this case the 7lb claim probably made the difference. Michael Flips (-36) 9/1 winner of the 2.45 Kempton, with system bet Gee Dee Nen 20/1 third. Almost got the forecast! She's Humble (sys+1) 5/1 winner of the 3.00 Huntingdon. Eisteddfod (3.10 Lingfield) is worth a bet soon after running fourth today. I backed Heathcote (-P66) and Magic Sky in the 3.15 Kempton, finishing second and third! Romney Marsh put in a poor finish to the 3.40 Huntingdon, but can win again soon. Luberon led for a long way in the 3.40 Lingfield, and can win soon, along with John Terry. Baylini (-406) 14/1 second.

15th January: Cozy Tiger (-46) 13/2 second in the 1.10 Lingfield. Alhaque (third) should have won this, so must do better soon. System bet Venture Capitalist (formerly with Cumani) 12/1 winner of the 1.15 Southwell with system bet and my tip of a few occasions, Mymateeric, 5/1 third! Hope Road was well in for this and must do better soon. Freddie's Girl (1.40 Lingfield) should be worth a bet soon. System bet Kings Ace 8/1 third in the 1.45 Southwell. Flash McGahon is being primed for a race soon, I feel sure. System bet Lily Lily 4/1 winner of the 2.15 Southwell. Beaten favourite Sunset Boulevard 4/1 winner of the 2.40 Lingfield, with well-rated hurdler Stumped 8/1 second. My tip from a while back, Carmenero, 8/1 winner at Wolverhampton.

14th January: I didn't follow the racing today (preferred to watch Ronnie at the Masters), so have only had a quick run-through of results. A few comments: Guto (12.50 Southwell) is being primed for another win soon, possibly not next time out. Cornus is better over 6-7f, and should win soon. System bet Ask The Oracle 15/8 winner of the 1.20. Laureldeans Best was best in, and appeared to be going best, so should be worth a bet soon. Oniz Tiptoes was probably being given a prep run for chasing or hurdling, so watch out for it over the jumps. Gower Sophia (1.50) must run better soon. Bajan Pride (2.50) is very well in and must go close in the near future. He's A Humbug and Mango Music (3.50) must be competitive very soon. System bet Kinky Afro 5/2 winner of the 1.30 Lingfield. Musashi (-050) 9/2 winner of the 2.00. Copper King was best in, finishing second at 6/1. I have tipped Louisiade on several occasions, finishing third at 9/2. Vinces and Marmooq (3.00) are worth backing soon. Acropolis (4.00) is thrown in on old form, and can't keep running so badly. Prince Charlemagne is also worth a bet next time. System bet Theocritus 4/1 winner of the 6.10 Wolverhampton. System bet Flowing Cape 7/1 second in the 6.40 Wolverhampton. Orpsie Boy (third) is due a win soon, as is Vhujon, which keeps running below par. System bet Head To Head 6/1 winner of the 7.10 Wolverhampton.

13th January: A strange all bumper card today at Southwell! Nicky Henderson can be relied upon for a few winners in this sphere, and his first one, Anqueta, went in at 2/5 in the 12.30. Wordy's Boy had the best form of the others, and looked like coming second at 20/1 until getting pipped in the last stride. System bet Benartic (Henderson again) 4-6 winner of the 1.00, with Bow Badger (-40) 20/1 second. A top flat trainer won the 1.30, Kevin Ryan with Reverend Green (14/1). Experience does help in these races quite often! Henderson again in the 3.15 with Dort Tranquille at 13/8. Of course, they have to lose at least one (in this case the 2.40), or the bookies will be hammered with accumulators! I did fancy Jupiter Warning (by Medicean) but had a small each way on Rubaa, which had system form. System bet Oh No Not Harry 3/1 second in the 3.50. Tadlil (4.15 Kempton) should be worth a bet soon (system bet next time). My tip of numerous occasions and database top-rated (+41), Diane's Choice, 9/2 winner of the 4.45. Brazilian Brush is still well-handicapped and Commandingpresence should run better next time. It was noticeable that none of the horses with claiming jockeys on them troubled the judge. Worth bearing in mind. I don't think many could have picked Best Trip in the 5.15. You need inside knowledge for that sort of result! Avon Castle should have done better and may be worth a bet soon. System bet Quince 16/1 third in the 5.45. Mustajed (fifth) and Such Optimism (fourth) are due a better run soon. System bet Volatilis 20/1 second in the 6.15. Indian Skipper (-2345) 16/1 winner of the 6.45 Kempton. Desert Dreamer is due a win very soon. System bet Totally Focussed 5/1 winner of the 7.15. Final Verse can win again whenever wanted, and Hallingdal is also due soon.

12th January: System bet Where's Reiley (-400) 15/2 winner of the 12.50 Southwell. Monte Major (33/1 second) and Stash (7/2 third) also had form figures as recommended by the system. Godfrey Street (thrown in) and Tartatartufata will be worth a bet soon. System bet Greenbelt (see my tip 5th January!) 20/1 winner of the 1.20 Southwell! I also tipped the third, Russian Invader on 7th Janauary! Novay Essjay (-656) 10/1 winner of the 2.20 Southwell. System bet Mr Fantozzi 4/1 second in the 2.50 Southwell. My old favourite, Whitbarrow, 6/1 second in the 3.50 Southwell. By Command must be worth a bet soon. Rocket Ruby (sys+1) 11/2 winner of the 1.35 Lingfield. The Great Husk (-46) 50/1 third in the 2.05 Lingfield. Database top-rated Art Market (+44) 4/1 winner of the 3.05 Lingfield. I also tipped Dicey Affair (14/1 second) on its last run, 30th December. Don Pele (4.05 Lingfield) must win very soon now.

11th January: I didn't watch any racing today, but have checked the results. White Shift and Loose Caboose (1.30 Wolverhampton) were not wanted today, but are both well in at the weights for a nearby success. Ten Pole Tudor (-26) 9/2 second in the 2.00. Pride Of Nation has been running poorly of late, and can surely do better soon. I have mentioned Jord in dispatches recently (-3660), finishing third at 25/1 in the 3.30. Can win soon. Database top-rated Fantasy Ride (+45) 7/1 winner of the 4.00. Libre and Climate are two from the 4.30 which should be noted soon. Keenes Royale (-006) 3/1 winner of the 2.15 Kempton. Fromsong (second) and Chjimes were clearly best in for the 2.45 and can do better shortly. Kames Park and Jordans Light (3.15) can win another race soon. Gargano (-24) 4/1 winner of the 3.45. Supernoverre is due very soon. Ramamara (4.15) is also well in when wanted. There are some days when nothing seems to try that should, and I Confess (4.45) is another example. Very Well Red (14/1 winner of the 5.15) is one of my old favourites and my recent tip, Party In The Park (second 9/2) must win soon now. Cavalry Guard is thrown in now and will still be a system bet next time. Guildenstern is another who may do better over a shorter trip. There were any number of well handicapped horses in this race, which may explain why so few committed themselves.

10th January: System bet and C/D winner Lujiana 25/1 winner of the 1.20 Southwell! My recent tip Brazilian Brush 11/4 second. Can win again soon. Tenancy is also due a good run soon. My two recent tips, Black Falcon (see 8th January) and Inside Story (see 4th January) first 13/2 and second 4/1 in the 1.50 Southwell! System bet Jazrawy 9/2 third. Nawamees is due a good run next time out. Jebel Tara (led much) and Silver Hotspur (missed break) in the 2.20 Southwell are both worth a bet very soon now. System bet Bel Cantor 20/1 second in the 2.50 Southwell. Mozayada (system again next time) and Ravi River (just got rid of a first place)are due soon. Zefirelli (-26) 5/2 winner with system bet Cheery Cat 13/2 second in the 3.20 Southwell. Golden Dixie and Outer Hebrides are due soon. Finding horses that are actually going to try is so difficult! System bet Coolree Star second for the forecast at 9/1 in the 3.50 Southwell. Pity I did it to win!

9th January: Magnitude (-040) (see my tip 29th November) 16/1 second in the 12.35 Lingfield. Why did the best in Major Lawrence finish last in the 2.55 Kempton? It's a mystery to me. Keep an eye on it! Gheed (-500) 28/1 winner! Official top-rated Banks And Braes (-540) 9/1 second in the 1.05 Lingfield. I have given up on Tuning Fork, but no doubt it will surprise sometime soon. Sir Haydn was next best in, but finished only fourth. Watch out for that one soon. System bet Mid Wicket 8/1 second. System bet Space Pirate 33/1 second in the 1.55 Kempton. Imperium and Pipers Song are due soon. My recent tip, Elna Bright, 8/1 winner of the 2.10 Lingfield. Benandonner was snatched up late, and can win again soon, along with Eisteddfod. System bet and top-rated Goodbye Cash 11/4 beat second-rated Support Fund 4/1 in the 2.25 Kempton. Vhujon was best in on old form for the 2.55 Kempton, finishing second again at 13/2. That one and Dvinsky (third) are due soon. Should have had the tricast with the favourite! System bet Elusive Ronnie 25/1 third in the 3.10 Lingfield. damn! I had the first two home, but didn't put Elusive Ronnie for the tricast! Melt (my third choice) should be worth a bet soon. My recent tip, Know No Fear, (see 2nd January) 9/2 winner of the 3.25 Kempton. Boogie Waltzer (-263) 10/1 winner of the 3.40 Lingfield.

8th January: My recent tip and database top-rated (see above for the database info) (+34), Silver Prelude, 7/2 winner of the 12.30 Lingfield, with another tip of mine, Ten Down, (see 3rd November, two runs back) second at 9/2! On 27th November, I told you that Silver Prelude would win soon, but perhaps not next time out. It had one run in between, on 9th December. How's that for info? My top-rated, Peopleton Brook, flattered to deceive in the 1.00 Lingfield, but was obviously not wanted today. Can win again when wanted. Imperial House (sys+1) 10/1 winner. My second-rated, Double Bill, finished second at 5/1. Lord Deevert is also well-handicapped. Fromsong was best in for the 1.30 Lingfield, but blew the start and, despite leading briefly, petered out. One of my old favourites, Raimond Ridge, (top-rated by me three races back) 9/1 winner. Namir is due a good run soon. Dontuwishitwereso (best in) ran like a donkey in the 1.45 Southwell, and the horse that I had as second best in, Mocha Java, won at 5/1. How can you cater for that? Cactus King was thrown in for the 2.00 Lingfield, but at 7/2 the vibes were not good and it finished only fourth. Must win soon off this rating. Classic Blue (-500) 8/1 winner. Three horses that dominated my ratings in the 2.15 Southwell ran terribly. They were: Moonlight Man, Royal Dignitary and Lost Soldier Three. All three can do much better and probably will soon! The fact that Lost Soldier Three now has a string of seconds followed by a fourth confirms my belief for that one, and Royal Dignitary has now got rid of a first place. This begs the question: Did the winning trainer(s) know about the potential performance of these three beforehand? Luberon was best in for the 2.30 Lingfield, but after leading for a long way, dropped out. Watch out for it next time, along with Full Toss (fourth). System bet Waldvogel 11/4 second. System bet Positivity 6/1 winner of the 2.45 Southwell. Didn't expect it to be such a big price! When will Louisiade win? Next time? Big Nige was going like the winner in the 3.00 Lingfield, but failed to go through with its effort, finishing only third. Can win very soon. While Obe Gold was expected to win the 3.15 Southwell, Verinco and Spoof Master were disappointing, and both can do better soon. Whatyouwoodwishfor, after a series of poor efforts, second at 14/1. System bet Sedgewick (by Nashwan) 10/1 winner of the 3.30 Lingfield! Alfie Tupper (second) was best in, and I also backed Maximus Aurelius (sys+1) 14/1 third. Keep an eye out for Vinces (fourth). If Sedgewick hadn't won, I had the tricast! Database toprated Black Falcon was hacking up in the 3.45 Southwell, but produced no more at the finish and finished fourth. Will be worth a bet soon, along with Hassadin (third). System bet Cragganmore Creek (see my tip 14th October, two runs back) 12/1 second. Prince Of Thebes, thrown in (+36 in my database) and tipped by me on several occasions, 9/4 winner of the 4.00 Lingfield. Nora Mae was disappointing, but can win soon.

7th January: Great start today! System bet Brazilian Brush (see my tip 2nd January) 18/1 winner of the 12.10 Southwell! Where else can you get information like that? System bet Oyeryz 5/1 winner of the 12.20 Pau (France). Jul's Lad (-300000) 12/1 winner of the 12.40 Southwell. Had just got rid of a second place. Couldn't pick that one, but Hart Of Gold (third) and All You Need are worth a bet soon. Burnwynd Boy (+33 in my database) was thrown in for the 1.10 Southwell, but inexplicably tailed off. That one and Resplendent Alpha (+30) are due soon. Just depends who is trying on the day in these races! My tip from a while back, Miss Taken, (-35) 11/1 winner of the 1.40 Southwell (the 7lb claimer probably made the difference). System bet Argentine 3/1 winner with system bet Pawan 15/2 second in the 2.40 Southwell. The Tatling (third) should win soon. Trans Sonic (9/4 third) and Silca Meydan (22/1 second) were my two best in for the 3.10 Southwell and both can win soon. System bet Dan Buoy 20/1 winner of the 3.40 Southwell! I backed Russian Invader, second at 6/1, which can win soon. Boundless Prospect should have done better, and no doubt will win again soon.

6th January: No UK racing today, so the only interest lay in racing at Cagnes-sur-Mer (France). Moneypenny (-034) 10/1 winner of the 12.20 with Lonely Lassie (sys+2) 25/1 second. Cheops Du Berlais (-234) 9/1 second in the 12.55. Le Jonchet (-236) 4/1 winner of the 1.25. Gouidal Bihan (sys+1) 4/1 winner of the 1.55. Pyla (almost a system bet) 16/1 winner of the 2.25. System bet Darvilez 20/1 winner of the 3.00! Well, the system and similar bets got some results in France!

5th January: Not much racing today, and little to report. Machinist should clearly have won the 12.40, so shoulkd be watched for a better run. System bet Sonny Sam 20/1 third in the 2.40 Southwell. Aleron should win soon at these weights. Greenbelt should have done much better in the 3.10 Lingfield, and should be worth a bet soon. Charging Indian, my second rated, third at 12/1. Baby Judge was best in for the 3.40 Southwell, but, as usual in a seven horse race, finished only third to the two market leaders. Should do better soon. Well, not much to report today, let's hope for more racing in the near future!

4th January: System bet Film Set 7/1 second in the 11.10 Deauville - yes, it often works in France! System bet Perfect Season 4/1 winner of the 12.05 Deauville with Pallodio (-040) 7/4 second. System bet Surtsey 15/2 third in the 12.40 Deauville. System bet Alcolea 4/1 winner with system bet Vicvic 5/2 third in the 1.10 Deauville. There was no apparent reason for Pride Of Nation and Ella Woodcock to finish last and second last in the 1.55 Wolverhampton, which leads me to suggest that both will be more competitive next time. Aflaam (third) is also well in soon. System bet Censure 40/1 third in the 1.40 Deauville. Gower was best in for the 2.30 Wolverhampton, but its price was not encouraging and it finished fifth. Pity the TV pundit sided with me about Gower - that put the mockers on it! Must do better soon. Interchoice Star (-446) 11/4 winner, with system bet Well Of Echoes 7/2 second. Peninsular War was also disappointing and will do better. Well, it's unpredictable all weather racing, totally unknown French form or nothing today. Nice choice! Salut Lisa (-236) 11/2 winner of the 3.15 Deauville. Bee Stinger should have won the 3.35 Wolverhampton, but failed to put in its best effort. Must win soon. Can't understand how Royal Rainbow won at these weights. It's another of those unfathomable results! Second Brook (4.05 Wolverhampton) was not wanted today, but could do better soon. My tip, Shake On It, won its second race in a row at 3/1 in the 4.35 Wolverhampton. Kheskianto (led for a while) and Inside Story are still due soon. Spinning Ridge (sys+1) 8/1 third. System bet and my database top-rated Ramamara 33/1 second in the 5.05 Wolverhampton. Almost a system bet, Chia, 7/2 winner of the 5.35 Wolverhampton. Jord (perhaps over a mile or shorter) and Obe Brave are due soon.

3rd January: Official top-rated Notus De La Tour 7/2 winner of the 12.50 Plumpton. Beau Lake will be worth backing soon. Franchoek, although easily best in, was clearly not wanted in the 1.20 Plumpton, but will probably do better very soon. Underworld Dandy and Indigo Ink were very disappointing in the 2.05 kempton, and should be noted for better runs soon. Kawagino was thrown in for the 2.20 Plumpton, but fell early. Should win again soon. My recent tip and system bet Prince Of Thebes 12/1 second in the 2.35 Kempton. Fortunately I also did Hereford Boy (12/1 winner) for the forecast, and just missed out with Dinner Date for the tricast! Omme Antique, second in the 3.25 Plumpton, must win soon. Also keep an eye on Uncle Eli (fell today). Evident Pride, fourth in the 3.35 Kempton, is due a win soon, as is Paktolos (second). Free Tussy is still well handicapped when wanted, as is Maslak (system bet next time). Dvinsky, third in the 4.05 Kempton, is due a win soon.

Know No Fear and Greystoke Prince are others to bear in mind. Mountain Heather took an easy lead in the 1.20 Cork, then dropped out. Just testing? Should be worth a bet soon. System bet Stormy Summer 3/1 winner of the 2.00 Southwell. All Guns Firing should have won at the weights, and was gaining again at the finish. Two of my top-rated, Goodbye Cash (14/1) and Lopinot (8/1) finished second and third in the 2.10 Lingield and can win soon. The other, Wavertree Warrior, is also due a good run very soon and keep an eye on Ivory Lace. Database top-rated Moonlight Man 17/2 third in the 2.30 Southwell.

System bet Love Delta 5/2 winner of the 2.05 Southwell. One wonders whether Pigeon Island should have beaten Seven Is My Number in the 1.40 Cheltenham, but in a two horse race, who knows what the arrangements were?

System bet Bookiesindex Girl 11/1 winner of the 1.30 Lingfield with dastabase top-rated Captain Cool 11/2 second! New York Lights could be worth a bet soon. Former Group horse, Acropolis, established a clear lead in the 2.00 Lingfield, then packed up very tamely. What a waste of money! Should have eaten this lot! Kings Majesty was another that should have done much better, so watch for them both soon. System bet Shannersburg 4/1 winner. Queen Poline (-040) 10/1 winner of the 2.20 Warwick.

Colombard must do better shortly. Database top-rated Omme Antique 8/1 third in the 2.50 Warwick. I feel it should have done better, but its poor form was probably the reason. Just look at the form figures of Afistfullofpebbles (10/1 winner)! Don Pele flattered to deceive again (fourth) in the 3.00 Lingfield, but must win soon.

30th December: System bet and database top-rated Hart Of Gold 18/1 second in the 12.20 Lingfield. Can win soon, along with The City Kid and Dicey Affair. Jadalee (1.10 Taunton) looked to be getting into contention before dropping out into about fifth place. On flat form should prove better than this. System bet Maggio 33/1 second. Sir Edwin Landseer should have done better in the 1.20 Lingfield, although I had the winner, Obe Gold, as my top-rated. Peopleton Brook could win a handicap before long. Go Johnny Go (1.40 Taunton) is much better than its fifth place suggests and should be worth a bet soon. The same applies to Triple Bluff (just bluffing by pulling up). Chilbury Hill should also be noted next time. Cavalry Guard and Dianes Choice were my two top-rated for the 1.55 Lingfield, finshing third and just out of the frame (having come up threateningly), but both can do better very soon. System bet Bold Rose 50/1 winner (recently got rid of a first place)! Gaspara and Mohayer (fifth) were not wanted in the 2.15 Taunton, but both should do better very soon. Chaninbar (-206) 10/1 winner. Also keep an eye on system bet Arctic Cape, which never got competitive.

Gallantry and Final Verse were my best two in for the 3.35 Lingfield, but, after threatening briefly, both dropped out again. Watch out for both soon. Southandwest (-235) 12/1 third and worth a bet soon.

29th December: System bet Revelling 11/4 second in the 12.10 Limerick. System bet Zarinava 14/1 third with sys+1 No One Tells Me 14/1 second in the 12.20 Leopardstown. The first three were the three top official rated, so forecasts were in order here. System bet Ach Aye Surely evens winner of the 12.40 Limerick. Sweet Wake should have done better in the 12.55 Leopardstown, and should be watched for a good run soon off this mark. Roll Along was best in for the 1.00 Newbury, but never got into contention. Must do better soon. Colorus and Pawan did not make much effort in the 1.20 Southwell, and both must be watched for soon.

Dunaskin seemed to be on a trial run in the 155 southwell, dropping out after leading easily. Must be worth a bet soon.

Eastern Gift (well there until near the finsih) and Obe Brave did not perform in the 3.45 Wolverhampton, but both are thrown in when wanted soon. Also keep an eye on Smirfys Systems. My tip of several occasions, Matsunosuke, 18/1 third in the 4.45 Wolverhampton. Imprimis Tagula seems to win more than its share of races, so could be a Group horse in the making for the future.

27th December: System bet Sword Fish 3/1 winner of the 12.25 Leopardstown. Trachonitis (-450) 9/1 winner of the 1.10 Southwell. Monfils Monfils and Applaude trailed in last, but both are much better than that. Noble Request was best in for the 1.30 Kempton, but its price of 25/1 was not encouraging. After threatening briefly, it dropped out into fourth place. Worth a bet soon. Godfrey Street (fourth in the 1.40 Southwell) is thrown in for a race soon, as is Tartatartufata (third). System bet Total Impact 9/4 winner. Amber Brook looked like taking a hand in the finish of the 2.05 Kempton before falling. Should be worth a bet soon. Dansimar should also have done better.

26th December: On previous form Dream Garden was great value at 20/1 in the 12.05 Huntingdon, looking like winning until getting pipped by Quentin Collonges (9/4 Fav). Again, should have done the forecast! On UK flat form Kings Bastion was also interesting in the 12.10 Leopardstown, winning at 12/1 with system bet Gates Of Rome 15/8 second! Database top-rated Lord Appellare 100/30 winner of the 12.40 Huntingdon, with second and third-rated Donald Will Do 13/2 and Stop The Show 6/1 second and third!

A very Merry Christmas and a Prosperous Racing New Year to all readers and purchasers of the system and other publications! Only one meeting today because of bad weather. Northern Empire (1.25 Southwell) is running ridiculously far below its best, and must be worth a bet soon. Egyptian Lord is another to consider off this rating. Don Pele was best in for the 1.55 Southell, but as often happens when a horse is a short price, it ran abysmally. Bet it will run better next time, possibly over 6 furlongs. Pockets Pick (see my tip after its last run, 1st December) 7/2 winner with system bet Divertimenti 17/2 third.

My tip from three races back, Romney Marsh, 10/1 winner of the 12.35 Uttoxeter, with database top-rated Devils Delight 14/1 third (the jockey seemed to be looking around for his position the whole time, so perhaps was only looking for third place). Official top-rated Predictive 2/1 winner of the 1.10 Uttoxeter with Lord Tomnoddy (-26) 12/1 second and Conington (-24) 20/1 third (system bet Ironical was fourth). Mister Frosty (14/1 third) and Eightdaysaweek (9/2 third) were my two top-rated for the 1.35 Southwell, but both were pipped by Through The Forest! Damn! Could have been a good forecast!

Should win soon, along with King Of The Moors. My tip from 30th November, Bubbly Braveheart, 6/5 winner of the 4.15 Wolverhampton, with system bet Glen Lass 20/1 second. Gallantry and Kashimin (4.45 Wolverhampton) are much better than they showed today. Despite the rider thrashing around on Gallantry, he didn't convince me. Should get a BAFTA for that! Oh, it was my old friend Andrew Heffernan again! Was that the usual signal - claimer - not winning today? Autumn Blades (sys+1) 7/1 second. Mind Of Her Own and Bitter Honey were not wanted in the betting for the 5.45 Wolverhampton, but both showed up for a long way, and should be worth a bet soon, along with Sixties Rock. System bet Cane Cat (see my tip 4th November) 10/1 second.

2nd December: Ardesia was well in for the 12.10 Catterick, but, after leading most of the way, dropped back to finish sixth. Should be worth a bet soon, along with I'm Your Man (fourth) and Cripsey Brook. Mister Fizzbomb (second) made a mistake at the last to lose the race, and should win soon, along with Monfils Monfils, which made no effort at all. Amir Pasha (-36) 11/1 winner. Tartan Snow should have finished in front of Primrose Time in the 12.50 Ayr, but finished only third, despite jumping errors from the second. Could be worth a bet soon. Hermano Cordobes and Sycho Fred were my two against the field in the 1.10 Catterick, with Sycho Fred (-25) winning at 9/2. Hermano Cordobes will be worth a bet soon, along with Star Beat (second).

Mirage D'Or was best in for the 2.45 Catterick, but finished well back. This was probably expected at the price. Will do better very soon.

1st December: System bet Outer Hebrides 13/2 third in the 12.30 Lingfield. System bet Sanpor 33/1 winner of the 12.40 Hereford! Grasscutter (brought down) and Moon Melody (pulled up) must do better soon. Alfresco (1.00 Lingfield) must be due a better race soon.

Nawamees was well in contention most of the way in the 2.40 Hereford before dropping out. Can win soon under either code. Power Shared (-35) 9/2 winner. Basra looked to be a certain winner a furlong out in the 3.00 Lingfield, but got pipped on the line by Black N Brew (-35). Blast! The 8lb claim on Classic Dream made the difference in the 3.10 Hereford, winning at 4/1. Alan King's Habbie Simpson finished third at 14/1 in the 3.20 Southwell bumper, still a good each-way bet, with Henderson's Owen Glendower 5/6 second. These two, with Oliver Sherwood (winner 5/1) are good bumper trainers. The rider on Adage took the lead too soon in the 3.30 Lingfield, allowing it to be picked off by three horses in the straight. Don't know if this was the plan, but Adage is still very well handicapped. System bet Gus Macrae 11/2 winner of the 3.40 Hereford with Smooth Classic 7/2 second. Damn, I backed the other system bet, Elevenses! Just shows the top stables do fail sometimes.

30th November: My tip of several occasions from the flat, Mymateeric, 12/1 winner of the 12.50 Fakenham. Pipers Legend led much of the way in the 1.50 Fakenham, finishing only fourth. I feel sure it can win a race before long. PonchaTrain (3/1) and Lord Appellare (15/2) were my two top rated for the 2.00 Folkestone, finishing first and second. My third rated, Colline De Fleurs, (13/2) finished third, making for a nice tricast! Lord Appellare was in fact my top-rated, and can win soon. Prince Charlemagne was very well handicapped for the 2.10 Wolverhampton, winning at 7/1. Second-rated Augustus John finished second too, also at 7/1. A good day so far for the database ratings! Keep an eye out for Barodine and Tivers Song shortly. System bet Strawberry 9/4 winner of the 2.20 Fakenham. Herecomestanley is very well handicapped, and should be worth following soon. System bet Eastwell Smiles 12/1 second in the 2.30 Folkestone. Kings Sabre and Fromsong are two from the 2.40 Wolverhampton that are due a good run very soon. keep an eye on them. Helm was thrown in for the 3.00 Folkestone, but finished only third. Worth a bet soon. My recent tip, Obe Gold, (see 26th November) 20/1 second in the 3.10 Wolverhampton. Top-rated Dorothys Friend was too bad to be true in the 2.20 Fakenham, and should do better next time. Twin Bud, by Double Trigger, ran on too late for fourth in the 3.30 Folkestone, and could be worth a bet soon. Bubbly Braveheart was best in for the 3.40 Wolverhampton, finishing only second. Should be worth a bet soon, along with Alphacino, which appeared to be going well until dropping out. Bentley Brook (-46) 22/1 winner of the 4.10 Wolverhampton. Those -46 figures seem to win quite often! Unfortunately I backed Daaweitza, which finished third or fourth and is due soon. Ten Pole Tudor (4.40 Wolverhampton) is still well in, despite not showing in the race (7lb claimer). I thought my other fancy, Fitzolini, had won at 16/1, but it just got pipped on the line. Kirstys Lad also made good ground on the outside, and is worth considering soon. Stoic Leader (5.10 Wolverhampton) made no effort today, but is thrown in when wanted. Climate is also due a win soon. The winner, Royal Society (sys+2) at 14/1, illustrates that system bets should be followed susbsequently. Plenilune is another that is well in when wanted. Northern Empire, chucked in for the 5.40 Wolverhampton at 25/1! There must be a catch! And there was - missed the break by miles! It's so farcical, you don't know whether to laugh or cry. Bet it won't miss the break when it's wanted (probably next time)!

29th November: System bet Rosbay 3/1 third in the 12.55 Carlisle. Magnitude ran a strange race in the 1.45 Leicester, appearing to have plenty in hand, but finishing only third. Worth keeping in mind. System bet Comhla Ri Coig 4/6 winner of the 2.00 Carlisle. I fancied Mr Woods to show, and it finished second at 12/1. Did not do the forecast again! Dune Raider should have done better than fourth place in the 2.20 Leicester, and my other choice, Grand Slam Hero looked like winning until getting pipped on the line! Huka Lodge (-36) 11/2 winner of the 2.30 Carlisle. A tip of mine from last time, Stark Contrast, (see 24th June) (-306) 33/1 third in the 2.45 Kempton. Inquisitress was looking like the winner, but dropped out late. Worth another bet soon, along with Purus. The Hairy Lemon was very well in for the 2.55 Leicester, but finished only fourth. As often happens, the 7lb claimer was prophetic. Can do better soon. System bet King Ozzy 4/1 second. Smugglers Bay did not get competitive in the 3.05 Carlisle, and can do much better soon (system bet next time). Fiefdom (when will that ever win?) and Lopinot are two from the 3.15 Kempton that must try to win very soon. French Art (-24) was very well handicapped (although not as well as the previous two) and won at 11/4. Dasher Reilly (3.25 Leicester) is thrown in for a handicap very soon. Best in for the 3.35 Carlisle, Insignia, unseated rider at the first! Miss G Tutty on board. I was more than tutting! How can you back under those circumstances? Will probably win next time! My recent tip, Appalachian Trail, which won last time out, 25/1 third in the 3.45 Kempton. This is running off a much lower mark than its best, so could win again soon. I expected Re Barolo to win, but it got beaten by Without A Prayer.

Calgary Bay (2.05 Newbury) should have done better, and can win soon. System bet Piraya 7/1 third (how come 7/1 with those figures?).

System bet In Secret came second at 12/1 for the forecast (which paid £4.04) in the 1.20 Lingfield. System bet Signs Of Love appeared to be going well in the 1.30 Newbury, despite its massive price.

System bet Fred Bojangals 9/1 winner of the 2.55 Musselburgh, with well-in top weight Mill House Girl 11/1 second. Did the latter give maximum effort? I'm not sure.

Cape Royal and Silver Prelude (perhaps not next time out) are beginning to try my patience and must try soon (forgive the pun)! Alan King's Prince Buster finished second at 33/1 in the 3.45 Newbury. Wish I did the forecast instead of each-way!

Devito, second in the 1.40 Chepstow, will be worth a bet soon. System bet William Bonney 5/2 second in the 1.50 Wetherby.

Nemetan (third) should be winning soon. System bet Waarid 33/1 second in the 3.40 Kempton. Noun De La Thinte (third) should be worth a bet soon. System bet Shore Thing 9/4 winner of the 1.40 Ludlow. System bet Tyup Pompey 33/1 second in the 2.50 Ludlow. System bet Petroglyph 10/1 winner of the 3.20 Ludlow! System bet Hector's House 15/2 second in the 12.40 Ffos Las. System bet Fabulous Fred 8/1 second in the 1.15 Ffos Las. System bet The Apprentice 7/2 third in the 3.00 Ffos Las. System bet Russellstown Boy 6/1 second in the 3.30 Ffos Las (but a four horse race).

22nd November: System bet Benbens 12/1 second with system bet Rushwee 50/1 third in the 12.05 Aintree. My tip from 21st October, Devil's River, (-256) 12/1 winner of the 12.25 Towcester. Border Tale (12.50 Musselburgh) will probably do better next time out. Woodlands Genpower, third in the 1.35 Towcester, will be worth backing soon. Ergo should have been in the shakeup in the 2.35 Musselburgh, so should be worth a bet soon. System bet My Arch 9/1 winner of the 3.10 Musselburgh. Mr Ironman (see my tip 13th May, two runs back) 11/2 winner of the 3.20 Towcester.

21st November: No comments for today, for which I apologise.

20th November: Official top-rated (if jockey's claim taken into account) San Marino 25/1 winner with second-rated Song Sung Blue 11/10 second in the 1.05 Exeter. Maidstone Mixture (fell) and Witness Run (1.15 Kelso) are both better than they showed today and should be worth a bet soon. It appeared from the betting (and the running) that Flight Leader (second, running on) was not expected to win the 1.40 Exeter, but that horse was miles clear on hurdles ratings. Worth a bet in a bigger race soon. System bet Little Josh 2/5 winner of the 1.50 Kelso (not much value in that!). The top two flat rated horses, Inventor and King Olav finished first and second (14/1 and 20/1) in the 2.05 Ascot! It doesn't always work, far from it, but often worth a look at flat form in hurdles races. My recent tip, Bertie May 3/1 winner of the 2.15 Exeter. System bet Richard's Sundance would have been second apart from falling, and system bet Irish Legend then finished second at 10/1. Josear (third) and Laustra Bad are two that are due from the 2.50 Exeter. System bet Coldwells 16/1 second in the 3.00 Kelso, with system bet Flash Cummins 33/1 third. Callerlilly (sys+2) 33/1 winner of the 3.25 Exeter. Premier Dane (3.50 Ascot) should be worth a bet soon.

19th November: Star Galaxy (see my tip 29th October) 9/2 winner of the 1.20 Hereford. Fair Shake should be worth a bet soon. Databse top-rated Only Dreams (all noughts, pulled ups and 6's) 33/1 winner of the 1.30 Wincanton! System bet and C/D winner Viable 15/2 winner of the 1.40 Huntingdon with Crosby Jemma (-46) 16/1 second. Games should have been better than fifth at the weights in the 1.50 Hereford, and will probably do better next time, along with Three Ships (second). System bet My Moment 16/1 second in the 2.10 Huntingdon. Treasulier should have won the 3.00 Wincanton at the weights, so should be winning soon. Tarquinius (almost a system bet) 8/1 winner. Canni Thinkaar won again at 8/11 in the 3.10 Huntingdon, with my recent tip and system bet, Carrickmines, 16/1 third. System bet Campfire Tales 18/1 winner with system bet Smokincannon 28/1 second and Captain Marlon (-25) 4/1 third in the 3.30 Wincanton! My recent recommendation of Alan King's horses in bumpers paid off with the victory of The Laodicean at 4/1 in the 3.40 Huntingdon. Present Your Case (-26) 6/1 third in the 3.50 Hereford. Beckermet (6.00 Kempton) is thrown in on old form. System bet Red Suede Shoes 7/2 winner of the 7.00 Kempton. Yellow Printer (third) will be worth a bet soon.

18th November: System bet Ymir 6/1 second in the 12.00 Lingfield. System bet Kirstys Boy 16/1 second in the 1.00 Lingfield. My recent tip, Hareem, (see 5th November) 13/2 winner of the 1.10 Market Rasen, with system bet Tide Slider 11/4 second. Cane Brake was thrown in on chase form for the 1.35 Clonmel, but finished only third at 10/1. Worth an interest soon. Alfresco and Desert Dreamer (the latter possibly not next time) are due soon from the 2.00 Lingfield. System bet Chesapeake 7/2 second in the 2.40 Market Rasen. Ravenscar (3.10 Market Rasen) is due soon, possibly over two miles. System bet Djalalabad 14/1 third in the 2.30 Lingfield. Copper King is due again soon. Binnion Bay (3.30 Lingfield) has form which is so bad recently that it suggests to me (paradixically) that it will be worth a bet (each-way recommended) soon. Moonshine Creek (-264) 4/1 winner. Cumbrian Knight (3.40 Market Rasen) will be a system bet next time and worth a bet. Elusive Ronnie (sys+1) 25/1 winner of the 6.50 Kempton, with Tanley (sys+1) 11/1 third. Woodcote must make an effort soon.

17th November: No reports or comments today, as I was away most of the day. I will post something later if I have time.

16th November: System bet Russian Flag 9/1 second in the 1.20 Plumpton. System bet Hoar Frost 16/1 third in the 1.40 Leicester. Sweet Applause should have won the 2.30 Wolverhampton on old form, but finished only fifth. Worth a bet soon, possibly in a handicap. System bet Zegna 3/1 second. System bet Zanir 9/2 winner of the 2.40 Leicester. Liberty Seeker, Laustra Bad and Smugglers Bay are all due soon, Liberty Seeker possibly the race after next. Top and second official rated, Quartano (3/1) and Dawn Choir (5/1) first and second in the 2.50 Plumpton. Database top-rated (and system bet) Pride Of Nation 9/2 third in the 3.00 Wolverhampton. Obviously each-way money close to the off! Formerly a 100+ rated horse, it is finally showing some form. Monashee Rock (-440) 7/1 winner. The second, Borasco, is also due soon, along with Whitbarrow. System bet Classic Chic 16/1 winner of the 3.10 Leicester! Should not have won at these weights if the others were out to win! Sagredo and Traphalgar were the two best in for the 3.30 Wolverhampton, finishing fourth and second respectively. There was not much money for either of them, suggesting that connections were satisfied with their finishing positions. Both can win soon, however. Southern Exit should have done much better in the 3.40 Leicester and should be worth a bet soon, along with Chicago Alley, which ran a shocker.

15th November: System bets Orpheus Valley 16/1 winner of the 12.15 Cork and Tinakellylad 8/1 second. System bet A New Story 14/1 third in the 12.45 Cork. Calzaghe (sys+1) 13/2 winner of the 1.00 Market Rasen. Mega Steps (fourth) is due soon, and I suspect Evelith Regent is better than today's display. Official top-rated Bureaucrat 11/4 winner of the 1.25 Fontwell. Olivino should have been closer than third and Zimbabwe is due in a handicap very soon. System bet Overstrand (see my tip on its last run, 18th July) 11/2 winner with Spear Thistle 11/4 second in the 1.35 Market Rasen. European Dream is much better than it showed in the 2.20 Cheltenham, and should be watched out for soon. Ouste, My Turn Now and King's Revenge are three from the 2.35 Fontwell which should have done better, and are worth keeping an eye out for soon.

14th November: Again no comments today. If you would like to make any comments of your own on the system or racing in general, please email me.

13th November: Apologies for today, as I was away most of the afternoon and evening and did not study or watch the racing. Hope to resume shortly. A few system results: Razor Royale 12/1 winner of the 1.15 Cheltenham. Heads Onthe Ground 18/1 second in the 3.00 Cheltenham. Attorney General 33/1 second in the 3.35 Cheltenham. Mumbles Head 7/1 winner of the 12.55 Newcastle. Smuglin 2/1 winner of the 1.25 Newcastle. Silent Bay 8/1 second in the 2.00 Newcastle. Tinshu (see 4th November and previous) won again at 5/1 in the 2.50 Lingfield. Kinetix 5/4 third in the 3.25 Lingfield. Coolnaharan (sys + 1) 11/1 winner of the 5.50 Wolverhampton. It often pays to follow system bets in subsequent races if they don't win or place. One of my recent tips, Nacho Libre, 5/1 winner of the 6.50 Wolverhampton with Exceed Elegance (sys+1) 25/1 second and Sorrel Point 40/1 third. Chookie Hamilton wins again at 8/1 in the 7.50 Wolverhampton. Sircozi 7/2 winner of the 8.20 Wolverhampton. The Fifth Member 12/1 second in the 8.50 Wolverhampton with Fanunalter 7/4 third..

12th November: I had several interruptions to my electricity supply, which meant that I lost all of my comments two or three times. Apologies for that, will write them up again if I have time. Grrr! Norcroft and Kheskianto were my two best in for the 12.20 Southwell, but both dropped out after being on the pace. Both should do better soon. My recent tip, Naomh Geileis, 11/1 winner of the 12.50 Southwell. Hypnotic will be worth a bet soon. Final Verse, Pride Of Nation and Dabbers Ridge (1.20 Southwell) have all been massively underperforming and should be watched for a better run soon. I have tipped Ingleby Princess (50/1 winner) (-466) on several occasions, but did not expect it today off a rating of 48. I suppose it was well weighted. System bet Lord Victor 10/1 second in the 2.20 Southwell. Positivity was not wanted today in the 2.50 Southwell, but will be worth a bet soon in a handicap, along with Unconsoled. My two top-rated for the 3.20 Southwell, Swords and Jackie Kiely, 8/1 winner and 11/1 second! Damn, too late with the bet! Atahuelpa should have finished better than fourth in the 3.30 Ludlow, although I thought Canni Thinkaar was a certainty. Watch out for Bespoke Boy, which led for a long way before dropping out. Ocean Du Moulin was thrown in for the 3.40 Taunton, but never looked like winning and eventually fell. Should do better soon. System bet Bel Cantor 9/2 winner of the 3.50 Southwell. Cape Royal was best in, but finished only fourth (claimer again - did he ride it out?). Should win soon, and keep an eye on Guto. Typical winning form figures as indicated in my system -302600- (and sys+1) The Kyllachy Kid - 16/1 winner of the 4.20 Wolverhampton! Why do I always look at these and ignore them?

11th November: Gower Sophia should have been in the mix for the 1.00 Southwell, but ran a useless race. Worth keeping an eye on next time. Dimaire should also have done better. Inexplicable! Punters are just wasting their money in these situations. Like A Duke had the type of form figures (-40650F) which I like and was fairly well in, winning the 1.20 Warwick at 16/1. Keep an eye out for The Hardy Boy, which is very well in soon. System bet Boundless Prospect 5/1 third in the 1.30 Southwell. Malt Or Mash was also a system bet, but has become very disappointing. Must do better soon, along with Lost Soldier Three (second again). System bet Play On Words 12/1 third in the 1.50 Warwick. I think Maragna (2.00 Southwell) is better than it has shown so far, and could be worth a bet soon. System bet Stolen Moments 11/1 second in the 2.10 Bangor. I think there is more to come from Osolomio (only fifth, but moving well). Miss Sarenne was going particularly well in the 2.20 Warwick and would probably have won apart from a couple of jumping errors. Worth keeping an eye on. System bet Tiger Hawk 40/1 winner of the 2.30 Southwell! Damn, looked at it and didn't back it! Annia is much better than it showed here, leading early and dropping out. Master Fong appeared to be going better than anything in the 2.40 Bangor, but finished only third. Should do better soon. Lemon Silk was thrown in for the 2.50 Warwick, but after taking the lead three out, faded and fell. Must be primed for a win soon, along with Kilmeena Magic, which ran on late and will be a system bet next time. System bet Creevy dropped out, then ran on again in the 3.00 Southwell, and will be worth a bet soon. Hever Road was thrown in for the 3.20 Warwick, but as usual failed to perform after a second last time out. Will probably win next time, along with Zimbabwe (third). Ray Mond (-450) 14/1 winner with system bet Jackie Boy 13/2 second. System bet and database top-rated Stagecoach Emerald (six duck's eggs) 16/1 winner of the 3.30 Southwell. They All Laughed (third) must win soon, along with Spiritonthemount and don't discount Dimashq, which is better than it showed today. System bet Petit Fleur ran on too late in the 3.40 Bangor to finish third (not promising at 25/1), and is well in on its best. Perhaps not next time? Resplendent Alpha (4.00 Southwell) refuses to run a good race, but must try very soon. How frustrating some of these horses are! Green Park and Bonnie Prince Blue (third) are also due another good run soon. System bet Anmar 7/4 winner of the 5.50 Kempton. System bet Juicy Pear 20/1 second in the 6.50 Kempton. System bet Purely By Chance 14/1 winner of the 8.20 Kempton (well, if you take its last three hurdles runs into account)! System bet Speak The Truth 12/1 winner of the 8.50 Kempton! My tip from 20th October, its last run, Gentle Guru, (with figures of -064500) 20/1 winner of the 9.20 Kempton! How's that for tipping?

10th November: One of my tips from the flat, Dusk, 14/1 winner of the 1.30 Lingfield. Kahsabelle was best in for the 1.40 Exeter, but finished only fifth. Worth keeping in mind. Bathwick Quest, 10/1 second, had system type form and was second rated. System bet Charingworth 5/1 winner of the 1.50 Sedgefield. System bet Clyffe Hanger 3/1 second in the 2.10 Exeter, with database top-rated Macmar third at 16/1. System bet Echo Point 7/1 winner of the 2.20 Sedgefield with Brackenmoss (-36) 14/1 second and system bet Divers third at 6/1. Keep an eye on Strobe very soon. System bet Braddock Island 16/1 winner of the 2.50 Sedgefield with system bet Barton Sun 12/1 third! Stumped (3.00 Lingfield) is well in and worth a bet soon. System bet Fighting Chance 5/2 winner of the 3.40 Exeter. Alam should be worth a bet in a bigger race soon. Cashpoint (-60) 7/1 winner of the 4.00 Lingfield.

9th November: Pelo Du Bief, which I have tipped on a few occasions recently (see 1st November), finally won today at 15/2 in the 12.40 Southwell. Donald Will Do (see my tip after its last run, 14th October) 12/1 second. Royal Mackintosh (-256) 11/2 winner of the 12.50 Carlisle. These sorts of form figures are often worth following. Cortinas (sys +1) 3/1 winner of the 1.10 Southwell. Collier's Court should win another race soon, despite being a 12 year old. Official top-rated Bedlam Boy 5/2 winner of the 1.20 Carlisle with system bet Primrose Time 66/1 second! Do It For Dalkey (sys+1) 12/1 winner of the 2.25 Carlisle. Order Order (sys+1) 5/2 winner of the 2.35 Wolverhampton. My tip on its last run, Newman Des Plages, (see 9th September) 9/1 winner, with my other tip, Livingonaknifedge, (see 21st October) 13/2 third and system bet Mister Potter 10/1 second in the 2.55 Carlisle! Whipperway (3.05 Wolverhampton) should be worth a bet next time out. System bet Maska Pony 14/1 third in the 3.20 Southwell. System bet Matmata De Tendron 14/1 second with my tip from 2 races back, Indy Mood, 10/1 third. Both of these are well in when wanted. System bet Opus Dei 12/1 second in the 3.40 Wolverhampton. Fuel Cell (3.50 Southwell) is thrown in now when wanted, and Kingscourt Lad can also do better soon. I was also expecting system bet Aspolan to run better today. Royal Flynn (4.00 Carlisle) was held up and never got into the race, but will be worth a bet soon. System bets Black Dahlia 3/1 winner of the 4.10 Wolverhampton with Simla Sunset 11/1 second! System bet Xpres Maite (tipped by me recently) 7/1 second with system bet Ansell's Pride 25/1 third in the 4.40 Wolverhampton.

8th November: System bet Aitmatov 10/1 winner of the 12.55 Navan. System bet Meet Me At Dawn 50/1 third in the 1.00 Hereford. Punjabi Army was best in for the 1.40 Ffos Las and ran a shocker. Will do better very soon. Bureaucrat had loads in hand in the 2.00 Hereford, but made hard work of winning. Ruling Reef was best in of the others, but finished only fourth. Should do better. Kerkabellec (1.30 Hereford) is thrown in on old form, and should do much better soon, but I have a concern about the jockey's ability to get the best out of a horse. Oniz Tiptoes and Insignia were my top-rated for the 2.25 Market rasen, but neither figured in the finish. Both should do better soon. Far More Serious (-26) 6/1 winner of the 2.35 Hereford. Marked Man was best in, but finished only fifth after leading most of the way. Also keep an eye on Tavalu and Mr Prickle soon. System bet Kilflora 9/2 third in the 2.40 Limerick. Bobby Gee was best in on hurdles form for the 2.55 Market Rasen, but unseated rider when going well. Worth a bet soon. System bet Bench Warrent 6/4 winner. Shrewd Investor was well in for the 3.25 Market Rasen, but finished only second to the topweight Lorum Leader (14/1). My recent tip, Sydney Sling, (see 2nd November) 7/2 winner of the 3.45 Ffos Las. I thought Cresswell Ruby was going to win for a long time, but faded into fourth (deliberately?). Pagan Sword looked to have the 4.00 Market Rasen in the bag until a bad mistake late. Carrickmines (fell) is also very well in when wanted.

7th November: A number of good system results today (in order of placings): Albanov 11/1 winner (2.25 Kelso), Blazing Buck 16/1 winner (1.40 Sandown), Amber Brook 12/1 winner (1.45 Wincanton), John's Gift 9/1 winner (4.00 Wincanton), Celestial Halo 11/4 winner (2.15 Wincanton), Mooakada 20/1 second (2.05 Donc), Calatagan 7/1 second (2.25 Kelso), Doc Wells 16/1 third (12.15 Kelso), Petroupetrov 9/1 third (12.30 Sand), Kaldouas 12/1 third (2.10 Sand), Runshan 11/2 third (3.20 Sand), and my recent tip, Confuchias 16/1 fourth (3.45 Doncaster). The latter can win soon. Also note that Sir Gerry and Icelandic (2.40 Doncaster) should have done better and are worth a bet soon. That's five winners from the system today at 16/1, 12/1, 11/1, 9/1 and 11/4, plus six places!

6th November: I did not study the racing beforehand, or watch the races today, but just looking at the results I saw a good number of system winners and placed horses. These included Cumbrian Knight, 33/1 second, The Hollinwell 3/1 winner, Soft Spoken Guy (tipped by me previously) 20/1 winner and Hollins 9/1 third in the same race, Duke Of Malfi 7/1 winner, Judiciary 5/6 winner, Thewinnatakesitall (sys +1) 50/1 second, Lesley's Choice 5/1 winner with Argentine 20/1 third in the same race, Catchpenny 18/1 second and Verinco 9/2 third, Avertis 5/1 third and Wise Men Say 10/1 winner. Coincidence? Don't believe it? Check them against the system!

5th November: Wotchalike was best in for the 12.50 Haydaock, but you wouldn't have known it from its performance! Tailed off at halfway, it ran on late for fourth place. How annoying! Why do they allow that to happen? Will probably win soon. Phluke and Sir Haydn were my best in for the 1.10 Lingfield, and Sir Haydn duly ran on for fourth place, as expected at 25/1! Phluke has been most disappointing, and I am not sure if it has genuinely deteriorated so much. If not, it will win before long. System bet Resentful Angel 11/4 winner. Tillietudlum ran a shocking race in the 1.20 Haydock, but the fact that it was fourth favourite probably summed it up! Should run better soon. My recent tip, Uncle Eli, looked like winning the 1.30 Towcester until a terrible blunder at the last cost him and the second any chance! Arceye and Kerkabellec should be worth a bet soon. The top three official rated finished first, second and third in the 1.40 Leopardstown, with Libano winning at 14/1! Kings Bastion should soon be worth a bet in a handicap in Ireland. According To John was favourite for the 1.55 Haydock, but finished only third. Should win soon. System bet Coe 11/2 second. Gidam Gidam (fourth) is also worth backing soon. System bet Roisin's Prince 8/1 winner of the 2.05 Towcester. The b... beat my top-rated and system bet, Liberty Seeker, which was hacking towards the end of the race, but didn't finish off! Silver Prophet and Hareem should be worth a bet in a handicap soon. Stevie Gee (2.20 Lingfield) looked like coming through to win, but eased out of contention. Worth a bet very soon. System bet Gansey 10/11 winner of the 2.30 Haydock. System bet Otage De Brion was well in for the 2.40 Towcester, but after looking like winning, faded into third place in a seven horse race. What can you do with them, eh? Very annoying! Should win a race shortly. Mutamared was thrown in for the 2.55 Lingfield, but his jockey kept pulling him back all the way down the straight! Keep your eye out for a good run soon. Ektimaal (-46) 6/1 winner. Lord Appelare and Ortega were best in for the 3.15 Towcester, but as usual, you can't boil an egg by them! Both must do better soon. River Ripples (second) is also well in. System bet Rakamasi 5/1 winner of the 3.35 Thurles. Official top-rated Stuff Of Dreams appeared to close in on the leaders in the 3.40 Haydock, then petered out. At 8/1 it was clearly not wanted today. Must be better than it showed here. Second top rated Le Platino won at 16/1, so point is proved? Calculating has been running disappointingly most of the time, and did not win again in the 4.00 Lingfield. What are they doing with that horse, which is thrown in anytime? I am sure that most of the time the 5lb claimer on a well-handicapped horse is just a signal that it will not be winning. Why else would they put them on it? Dubai Diva (-040) 10/1 winner. Sure Josie Sure (-35) 2/1 winner of the 4.10 Haydock.

4th November: System bet (6 duck's eggs), C/D winner and database top-rated Mission Impossible 16/1 winner of the 12.10 Nottingham! Windjammer and Captain Royale will be worth a bet soon. Cane Cat (12.40 Nottingham) should have done better and will be a system bet next time. My tip from two races back, Golden Square, 15/2 winner of the 12.50 Warwick. System bets My Friend Sandy 5/1 winner and Song Sung Blue 11/4 second in the 1.00 Chepstow. Lutine Charlie should at least have placed in the 1.10 Nottingham, but hung fire at the end. Keep an eye on it. Ursumman (1.20 Warwick) has been running well below par, and I think next time out it will show much more. Keep it in mind. Silver Sister should have won at the weights in the 1.30 Chepstow, but packed up tamely. This Bundle Up keeps winning when wanted, so should be followed on a regular basis. Shali San should have been closer than its finishing position in the 3.05 Chepstow, so will be worth keeping in mind. Smokey Oakey (2.15 Nottingham) was going better than its fifth position today, and should show soon. System bet Alexandros 6/5 winner. System bet Tarquinius 12/1 third in the 2.40 Chepstow. System bet Amethyst Dawn 5/1 winner of the 2.50 Nottingham. Soul Sista should run better soon, along with Dean Iarracht (fourth) and Richo. Guess what! Didn't back Lord Generous (McCoy) and it won! System bet The Real Deal stayed on into third in the 3.15 Chepstow at 10/1. Can win soon, along with Cannon Fire (pulled up, but much better than that). Dance Island (almost a system bet) 9/2 winner. System bet Highkingofireland 14/1 third in the 3.25 Nottingham. Longspur is due very soon. I backed Phar Again in the 3.50 Chepstow at 33/1 and guess what? Yes, that's right - it finished fourth. They must know that it is not going to get placed before the race! Well, it did have a 7lb claimer on it, which is often not a good sign. Should be worth a bet soon, though. System bet I'm In The Pink 8/1 winner of the 4.00 Nottingham, with my recent tip, Rio Guru (-35) (see 26th September - its last run) 14/1 second and system bet Spear Thistle 6/1 third! I backed Fandango Bay at a big price in the 4.10 Warwick, and that one fell, so not a great day overall! It usually pays to back Alan King's horses in bumpers, and although the first one, Call At Midnight, failed in the 4.10, the second one, Roko Dancer, finished second in the 4.20 at 8/1. The winner, Sherwani Wolf, under a penalty, won at 16/1! A horse that I have noted more than once recently, Tinshu, (-255) 14/1 winner of the 5.50 Kempton! Drat, I was not following the racing at the time. That's always the way! My recent tip, Marmooq, (see 26th October) 16/1 third in the 7.20 Kempton. Lopinot will be worth a bet soon. I mentioned both Diane's Choice (fourth) and Outer Hebrides (third) (8.50 Kempton) recently, and they are both very well in when wanted. Briannsta, third in the 9.20 Kempton, is still thrown in on old form, and should be followed again soon. Roman Maze is another that must show very soon.

3rd November: I fancied two in the 2.10 Catterick: Music Of The Moor and Kumbeshwar. They finished third (11/2) and first (9/2) in that order! Music Of The Moor (trailing early) is well-handicapped on previous form and should win soon. System bet Lord Of The Reins 15/2 winner of the 2.20 Kempton. My two other fancies, Ten Down and Cape Royal, disputed the lead most of the way before fading late. Both are worth a bet soon. Godfrey Street was thrown in for the 2.40 Catterick on old form, but has been very disappointing, and finished only third. System bet Northern Bolt 7/4 winner. Two others to take out of the race are King's Sabre and Grimes Faith, who had no chance on official ratings, but should do better in a handicap soon. Silver Prelude was by far best in for the 2.50 Kempton, but as almost always failed to last it out. Chandika (-266) 12/1 winner with system bet Embra 12/1 third. Must win when they want it! Cocktail Party will be worth backing soon. Ashley Brook is well handicapped on old form, and I expected a big run, but it dropped out quickly. Will do better soon. System bet Tamasou 12/1 winner of the 3.10 Catterick! Western Art was out of the handicap, but is thrown in shortly, as is Inter Vision, which did not show today. Two to watch from the 3.20 Kempton: Inside Story and Binnion Bay, both of which are well in and were very disappointing today. System bet Seventh Hill 10/1 second. Sligo was top-rated, but not wanted today in the 3.40 Catterick. Will probably run a stormer next time. And what happened to system bet Zafranagar? Coeur De Lionne finished third in the 3.50 Kempton, but can win again soon. Elna Bright looked like running through well near the finish, but its effort petered out. Can do better. System bet Gentle Ranger 14/1 winner of the 4.00 Exeter! Bertie May (fourth) is very well in and should win soon. Royal Trooper, 4/1 winner of the 4.10 Catterick. Red Wine (again) and River Danube are due soon. Fullandby was well in for the 4.20 Kempton and duly obliged at 10/1 with system bet Ebraam 25/1 third! Watch out for Viking Spirit next time! Database top-rated Magnifico 4/1 winner of the 4.30 Exeter with Nemetan (-25) 12/1 second. Look out for Anglican (well there for a while) and Norman Beckett shortly. Daniel Thomas and Silver Hotspur were both very well in for the 5.20 Kempton, with the former finishing second at 9/1. I can almost guarantee that Silver Hotspur (hacking behind and never asked a question) will be in the shakeup very shortly. It's almost farcical when you know how good these horses actually are! Decameron is another that should do better soon. Grrr... every time I back McCoy (Straw Bear) he is hopeless, and if I don't back him, he wins! What can you do about it? However, I am convinced that Straw Bear is now low enough in the handicap to win a race.

2nd November: Alldoneandusted (-540) 33/1 winner of the 12.40 Plumpton (almost a system bet, typical form figures for a big-priced winner)! System bet Pete The Feat 40/1 third. Lady Sorcerer ran on into fourth in the 12.50 Kempton (obviously a training run at the price). Should do better in novice hurdles. It was obvious that Regional Counsel's jockey did not want to get in the places at 100/1 in the 1.10 Plumpton, but keep an eye on it, as it was once rated over 100 on the flat. The Jolly Spoofer should have done better in the 1.20 Kempton, so keep an eye on it for the future. Sydney Sling was very well in for the 1.55 Kempton, but made no attempt to win the race, running on for second at 7/1. State Fair ran a terrible race in the 2.05 Wolverhampton, although top official rated, and there was no money for it. Must be better than that! It's that kid Probert turning up again at 33/1! System bet You Can Of Course winner of the 2.15 Plumpton. Rojaaba was thrown in, travelled best and finished only third. Watch for it soon! Kawagino (2.30 Kempton) is due a better run than it showed today. System bet Trenchant (-460) 20/1 winner with Alderluck (-35) 12/1 second! Whipperway was best in for the 2.40 Wolverhampton, but, after threatening to win, finished only fifth! Must do better shortly. Lord Victor (-600) 33/1 third. System bet Troubletimestwo 9/4 second in the 2.55 Plumpton. Database top-rated Fitzolini (-006) 25/1 winner of the 3.15 Wolverhampton! Lilly Blue will be worth a bet soon. Where's Johnny (3.30 Plumpton) will be worth a bet soon. I also backed Pagan Sword (second at 33/1). My recent tip, Chookie Hamilton ( see 20th September - two runs back) 7/2 winner of the 3.50 Wolverhampton. Another tip of mine, Laconicos, 6/1 winner of the 4.00 Plumpton (and I was wrong on 6th September!). Kings Majesty threatened for a while, and will be better next time. Kilmeena Magic, my top-rated, looked like winning the 4.10 Kempton, but hung fire and finished only third. System bet Akram 6/1 winner. I fancied Bronze Beau and Tartufo Dolce in the 4.20 Wolverhampton, but backed the wrong one to win! Tartufo Dolce (11/2 winner) was official top-rated and had a pull in the weights, so it was my own fault! Bronze Beau (nowhere) must do better. System bet Daycare 8/1 second in the 4.50 Wolverhampton. I had Tivers Song as my top-rated, but finished only fourth. Worth a bet soon, along with Squirtle (third). Supernoverre is also due very soon.

1st November: I thought that Josrs Magic (14/1) was well in for the 12.20 Lingfield, and it looked like winning the race until collared right on the line by Spinning Ridge (50/1)! When I looked at my ratings, Spinning Ridge was 1lb better in! Amazing! Just shows the worth of my databases! If you want that information, please ask. System bet Aohna 4/1 winner of the 1.10 Huntingdon with system bet and favourite Seefin Mountain only third. Should have won at the weights! System bet Rifleman 8/1 third in the 1.30 Carlisle. System bet Pipers Legend 8/1 second in the 1.45 Huntingdon. Shake On It and Party In The Park were the two best in for the 1.55 Lingfield, the latter finishing second at 4/1. Chief Dan George should have won the 2.05 Carlisle at the weights, but finished only third. Worth keeping an eye on. Sadlers Star is messing around and should certainly have won the 2.20 Huntingdon. Watch for it again soon. My recent tip, Force Group, 7/1 second in the 2.30 Lingfield. System bet Dinarius 10/1 winner of the 2.40 Carlisle. System bet Marcel was thrown in, but did not perform again! System bet Kirbys Vic 11/4 winner of the 2.55 Huntingdon (would not have won if system bet Haar had not unseated at the last! Tabaret should have done better in the 3.05 Lingfield, so should be watched for a better run soon. I liked the look of Back To Bid's form figures in the 3.15 Carlisle, and it finished second at 33/1! My recent tip, Pelo Du Bief, while out of its class, also finished second at 33/1 in the 3.30 Huntingdon, but there was a very strange run from Barnhill Brownie! System bet Forest Dane 7/1 third in the 3.40 Lingfield. Louphole was very well in, but finished in a blanket finish for the fourth place. Should win soon. Isintshelovely was best in for the 4.00 Huntingdon, winning at 12/1 with system bet Lady Florence second at 9/1 and system bet Southern Exit 20/1 third. Keep an eye on Norman Becket, which is due soon. Grosse Prophet ran a wretched race in the 4.10 Lingfield (Hayley, I'm surprised at you!) and is due soon, along with Trifti.

31st October: System bet Mr Crystal 5/2 winner of the 12.35 Wetherby. Official top-rated Take It To The Max 9/1 winner of the 1.30 Newmarket. Moody Tunes should have won the 1.40 Ayr at the weights, dropping out, then running on again for third. Should be worth a bet again soon. Rory Boy, almost a system bet, 4/1 winner of the 14.45 Wetherby. Lease Lend (second) should win soon. Benandonner was well in for the 2.05 Newmarket, finishing second at 9/1. That one and Moynahan should win soon. System bet L'Ami 14/1 third in the 2.10 Naas. Sphinx was very well in for the 2.15 Ayr, and duly won at 9/1. Bajan Parkes led much today and should win soon. City Style's jockey eased up in the latter stages of the 2.35 Newmarket, and is obviously netter than that. Worth a bet soon. The Bear appears to be getting rid of winning form, and will be better over around five furlongs in the future. Northern Fling stayed on for fourth in the 2.45 Ayr and should win soon. Dabbers Ridge - thrown in, but will it be next time? System bet Pascha Bere 16/1 second in the 3.00 Ascot. Pepporoni Pete (again?) must win again soon. System bet Nurture 7/1 second in the 3.10 Newmarket. Marie De Medici was clear top-rated, but finished only fourth. Must do better. System bet Mythical Prince 12/1 third in the 3.15 Naas.

Oslot (3.35 Ascot) should do better soon. Jim Martin was well in for the 3.55 Ayr, but failed to show. Worth noting for the future. System bet Goldan Jess 4/1 second in the 4.00 Wetherby. Smugglers Bay (fourth) should win soon. Nodforms Violet (system +1) 9/4 winner of the 4.10 Ascot. System bet Bended Knee 11/1 winner of the 4.15 Newmarket! Brunelleschi will be worth backing again soon. My recent tip, Hawkit, 6/1 second in the 4.25 Ayr. Ulysses will be worth backing soon. Bosamcliff (system + 1) 3/1 winner with system bet Rue De Cabestan 14/1 third. My tip of several occasions, Little Perisher, (see 19th October) 5/1 winner of the 4.35 Kempton! My tip from 6th August, Sonhador, 4/1 winner of the 5.05 Kempton, on its second run since. Top-rated Inside Track did not place in the 5.35 Kempton, so should be worth a bet soon.

30th October: System bet Daring Origyn 20/1 second in the 1.05 Utooxeter. System bet No More Prisoners 18/1 third in the 1.30 Wetherby. I took Queens Grace (16/1 winner) in the 1.50 Newmarket, as backing the second official rated is often a good bet (the top-rated finished second). Ifandbytwhy (system +1) 8/1 winner of the 2.05 Wetherby (outsider of four). Tragic Realm was best in on hurdles rating for the 2.15 Uttoxeter, but finished last of four. Should do better soon. System bet Harriets Girl 14/1 third in the 3.00 Newmarket. System bet Aaim To Prosper 7/2 winner of the 4.05 Newmarket. Bulwark is due a good run soon. System bet Mohi Rahrere 50/1 dead-heat third in the 4.25 Uttoxeter. Pistol Basc (4.15 Wetherby) and Toni Alcala should be worth backing soon. My recent tip, Sycho Fred, 13/2 second.

29th October: One More Round was a system bet and thrown in for the 1.10 Lingfield, but today was not the day. I also fancied Cavalry Guard, which finished second at 8/1. Sign Of The Cross (third) is also well in soon. Shuil Aris was well in on official ratings for the 1.15 Clonmel, but did not trouble the judge. Perhaps unfit, but must be better than that!

System bet and official top-rated Mojito Royale winner of the 1.45 Clonmel. Two of my recent tips on the flat, King In Waiting and Grazeon Gold Blend, finished first and second in the 2.00 Newcastle with Beauchamp (-235) third! Snoqualmie Girl and Flame Of Gibraltar should have done better in the 2.10 Lingfield, so keep an eye on them for the future. Baila Me (-26) 3/1 winner. Rising Force should have done better than fourth in the 2.20 Stratford, so is worth bearing in mind. West End Wonder, Witness Run (system) and Safin were outsiders in the 2.30 Necastle and did not place, but are all very well in and due soon. System bet Abbey Minster 6/1 third.I backed Carcinetto at 33/1 in the 2.40 Lingfield, and, guess what? That's right, it finished fourth (fast-finishing). Worth a bet soon. The three official top-rated finished first, second and third. Dune Raider, fourth in the 2.50 Stratford, is worth a bet soon along with Go West (second). Hever Road was absolutely thrown in for the 3.00 Newcastle, but after leading all the way, finished only second. Must win soon. Beckermet (system bet) was best in on old form for the 3.10 Lingfield, finishing second at 7/1. Spirit Of Sharjah (fourth) is not performing to its best, and must do better soon. System bet Nawow 7/4 winner, with system bet Star Galaxy 7/1 second in the 3.50 Stratford. The latter was thrown in and should win soon, along with Dasher Reilly (third). Master Papa (4.00 Newcastle) should be worth noting shortly. Bluebok (4.30 Wolverhampton) and First Order should both do better soon. Of course, Bradley's other runner, Lithaam, was the winner.

System bet (and my very recent tip - see 26th October) Loyal Royal, 10/1 winner of the 5.30 Wolverhampton! System bet +1 Reallymissgreeley 100/1 second in the 6.00 Wolverhampton.

System bet Edas (see my tip 13th October) 16/1 winner beats system bet Bed Fellow (see 27th September) 22/1 in the 1.00 Musselburgh. Good start for the system! Top Bid (fourth) and Namir are two to keep an eye on from the 1.40 Nottingham. Mazzola in third place is also well-handicapped (system bet next time). My Condor (1.50 Haydock) appeared to be going ok, but finished only third. Can win a race soon if does not go off too fast! System bet Besty 11/2 winner of the 2.00 Musselburgh. Fair Bunny could be worth a bet soon. Bravely (2.10 Nottingham) should do better next time, having got rid of an unwanted first place. Brandywell Boy can also do better. Master Leon was top-rated for the 2.35 Musselburgh, but surprisingly started at 16/1 and did not show. Must be better than that! Three Boars, Stoop To Conquer and Let's Roll (again!) were all disappointing in the 2.45 Nottingham and must do better soon. Gordonsville (-46) 11/2 winner of the 3.05 Musselburgh. I was disappointed that Inchnadamph finished only fourth, but it was the complete outsider. System bet and database top-rated South Cape 6/1 winner of the 3.15 Nottingham. Ninth House will be worth a bet again soon. System bet and top-rated Kings Revenge 14/1 third in the 3.25 Haydock, with my second-rated, Border Tale second at 14/1 (thought it had won!). Lost Soldier Three should have won at the weights in the 3.40 Musselburgh, but could finish only second. Perhaps not as good as it was? Tufton was also disappointing, although appearing full of running. System bets Big Bay 2/1 winner and Aspro Mavro 13/2 second in the 3.50 Nottingham. System bets Droim Toll 7/1 winner of the 3.55 Punchestown with Tiernan's Terror 25/1 second! My tip of a few occasions, Catch The Perk (-35) 9/1 winner of the 4.00 Haydock.

Boo was thrown in, but only ran on for fourth when it was too late! Keep an eye on it. I could swear that Lap Of Honour (fourth) would have won the 4.30 Haydock if it had been closer. Worth a bet soon. System bet Kack Handed 15/8 second (no value in that). Quite a good day for the system! System bet Top Flight Splash 25/1 third in the 5.50 Kempton. Versaki is showing signs that it could be next time out, as it is currently thrown in off this mark. System bet Nativity 16/1 second in the 6.50 Kempton. Shake On It, Binnion Bay and Sovereignty must have been scared of each other in the 7.50 Kempton, and no doubt will show soon. My tip from 22nd Ocvtober, Inquisitress 16/1 winner of the 8.20 Kempton. Note that I have also mentioned the second, Party In The Park (9/1) recently. Another very recent mention, Imperium, finished fourth and is worth backing soon.

27th October: System bet and my recent tip, Lady Sorcerer 8/1 second in the 12.40 Yarmouth. John Gosden has been getting some good-priced winners recently, including 11/1 Commissionaire today, but no doubt others will latch onto that fact shortly, and they will either shorten in price or dry up! Worth keeping an eye on his runners for the moment. System bet All Diamonds 10/1 third in the 1.25 Punchestown. My tip from 7th September, Park's Prodigy, won the 1.30 Catterick at 4/1. Dubai Diva should have been closer at these weights, and is worth bearing in mind, along with Inside Knowledge.

26th October: System bet What A Charm 12/1 winner of the 12.55 Leopardstown! Official top-rated (including claim) Chaperno 13/2 winner of the 1.20 Lingfield. Air Chief Marshal on official ratings should have been closer than fourth in the 1.25 Leopardstown, so worth keeping an eye on.

Kingsgate Storm (third), is also well in, along with Imperium, which has not shown for a long time. The money was finally down today for my tip of numerous occasions, Malapropism, winning the 4.20 Lingfield at 2/1. What a waste of money that horse has been recently! Just shows it could win when they wanted it! System bets Bountiful Bay and Cheers Big Ears 9/2 and 6/1 second and third. keep an eye on Danzadil and Talamahana (hit the rail mid-race). Kheskianto (4.30 Leicester) is due soon and will be a system bet next time. A One may do better when it gets rid of its win form, and West End Lad has done just that today.

I have been spending less time recently checking on the racing, and have not had a bet for a while, so I apologise if my comments are rather more brief than previously.

23rd October: I wasn't sure if today was the day for Dennick in the 2.00 Fakenham, but I soon found out! Must try to win soon, as it is more than thrown in!

Top weight in a nursery Living It Large 20/1 winner! Celticello looked like taking a hand in the finish in the 2.35 Fakenham until a bad mistake late in the race. Worth keeping an eye on soon.

System bet Charlie Tokyo 5/1 second in the 3.55 Ayr (thrown in on its best form). Malt Or Mash, which led most of the way in the 4.05 Doncaster, is thrown in now (36lb in hand) when wanted (system bet next time).

Whistle Blower (-040) 4/1 winner (low weight, top stable). Songe should have done much better than fourth in the 2.40 Carlisle, and the same applies to Mirage Dore. Both should do much better soon. Idle Power and Memphis Man were two that were clearly not wanted today in the 3.05 Brighton, but can do better when wanted, along with Highland Harvest. Why did the trainer talk up the latter when it came nowhere? Ebraam is also well treated on its best form. My database top-rated High Bird Humphrey looked to have the 3.15 Carlisle sewn up at 13/2, but just got pipped (apparently) by the rallying Whisky Magic. Can win very soon. Strobe is another that can do better soon. System bet Sam Lord looked to be going well until falling. Orphelin Collonges was clear top-rated for the 3.25 Ludlow, but made no attempt to get placed, only running on when it was too late. Keep your eye on that one, which clearly had more to give.

Edes Dot Com (second) is also very well treated on old form. System bet Simply Smashing 8/1 winner of the 4.50 Carlisle. My recent tip, Hever Road, led nearly all the way, jumping well, before packing up. Was this just a test, as it is thrown in? Silver Dagger should also do better soon.

System bet Daisy Buchanan 16/1 winner of the 4.35 Navan! Database top-rated Charging Indian (-05) 9/1 winner of the 4.40 Southwell! Livingonaknifedge (fourth in the 4.50 Worcester) was hampered by a faller when moving up and is thrown in shortly when wanted. It's Crucial is another that should do better soon. Goodwood Starlight made no effort to get into contention in the 5.00 Bath, but will be a system bet next time, and I expect a better showing. Foxhaven (second) is still very well in on old form. Mae Cigan will do better when back in the handicap proper. System bet Burning Sky (6 duck's eggs) 16/1 winner of the 5.05 Navan, but well in on old form. To find out about these horses, ask for my Picking Winners from Form study. System bet Truly Asia 4/1 winner of the 5.30 Bath. Support Fund (-35) 13/2 second. Full Victory should be winning soon and Magroom is another that seems to win when wanted..

20th October: System bet Dawn at Sea 5/1 third in the 2.10 Exeter. Bromhead was my database top-rated in the 1.50 Yarmouth, finishing third at 40/1! I have said previously that Christine Dunnett likes to have winners at Yarmouth, so keep your eye on her runners. System bet Robo 12/1 second in the 2.40 Exeter. System bet Derghaam 4/1 second in the 3.20 Yarmouth. Kings Sabre (3.30 Lingfield) is thrown in now when wanted. System bet Quasi Congaree 16/1 third in the 4.00 Lingfield. Gentle Guru and Song Of Praise are worth a bet soon. Wovoka, Alan Devonshire and High Curragh were three that did not show their true colours in the 4.20 Yarmouth, and should be watched closely soon. Spring Goddess (9/1 winner) was not supposed to win with a first place on the front. Naughty, naughty! Stick to the script! Ten Down was well in for the 4.30 Lingfield, and since it didn't get placed, I can only assume it's next time out. Rio Royale is another due soon. I'm A Legend was best in for the 4.40 Exeter, but finished only second. Should win soon. System bet Azure Mist 7/1 winner of the 4.50 Yarmouth. Keep an eye on Registrar and Soul Sista (fourth) next time. Time To Play should also be competitive soon. System bets Our Kes and Kames Park 14/1 and 11/1 second and third in the 5.00 Lingfield. Prince Charlemagne will be worth following soon (hacking today). It's about time that Elkhorn (5.20 Yarmouth) won a race, and thrown in on old form, but is it as good as it was? Naomh Geileis is another that must do better soon (system next time). New World Order (5.30 Lingfield) will win again when wanted, and Champagne Fizz, It's Josr (second) and Divertimenti are also better than they showed today.

19th October: System bet Hot Pursuits 17/2 winner of the 2.00 Windsor (and top official rated!). System bet Jimmy Ryan 12/1 third in the 2.30 Windsor. Should probably have won on these terms. Keep an eye on Retro and Sovereignty (handicap). System bet Filwa 7/2 second in the 2.40 Pontefract. System bet Nur Tau 9/2 winner of the 2.50 Plumpton. System bet Coolree Star 12/1 winner of the 3.00 Windsor with Bonheurs Art (-25) 5/2 second! Good day for the system so far! System bet Bravely 25/1 second in the 3.10 Pontefract. Tabaret looked to have the race sewn up until the final furlong, when it got overwhelmed by three horses. Northern Fling and Green Park must run well again soon, as also King Of Swords. System bet Poppy N'Penny 100/30 winner of the 3.30 Windsor, with Jessica Hayllar 16/1 third! Little Perisher is still due any time now! System bet Decision 20/1 winner of the 4.00 Windsor! Opera Prince is due a better run soon. Baan (third in the 4.10 Pontefract) is due again soon when wanted.

18th October: No comments on today's racing, as I was out for the day.

17th October: My recent tip and system bet Lost Soldier Three 2/1 second in the 1.40 Catterick, with system bet Cecina Marina 14/1 third. Lost Soldier Three was thrown in on old form and must win soon. Also look out for Bajan Parkes. Main Aim should have won the 1.50 Newmarket on these terms, so must be being 'aimed' at another race! Ramamara should have been more competitive on these terms in the 2.15 Catterick, so keep an eye on it soon. Beethoven (-46) 33/1 winner of the 2.25 Newmarket ahead of O'Brien's other runner, 20/1 second! How often does that happen, and what prices! Obviously nobody else was in the know. System bet Canadian Blaze 11/8 winner of the 2.55 Kelso. System bet Velvet Flicker 8/13 winner of the 3.05 Cork. Fame And Glory (3.00 Newmarket) is another example of a top-rated horse not delivering. Must be followed again soon. System bet Poquelin 9/2 winner of the 3.15 Cheltenham. Patman Du Charmil ran well for a long time today, and is well treated on its best. Angus Newz must be worth a bet soon after not troubling the judge in the 3.25 Catterick. System bet Mamlook 14/1 second in the Cesarewitch. System bet More Likely 5/1 winner of the 5.15 Kelso. Strategic Mover (once rated 100) should have walked the 6.20 Wolverhampton, so what is being lined up for that one? System bets Grudge and Fivefootnumberone 10/1 second and 12/1 third in the 6.50 Wolverhampton. Divine Spirit must be due very soon.

16th October: Tres Froide, 28/1 winner of the 2.10 Redcar, was running off a mark 25lb lower than when first running in this country. Well worth checking out, as highlighted in my Picking Big Priced Winners Guide! System bet Mutual Friend 20/1 winner of the 2.20 Cheltenham! System bet Maljimar 7/2 second in the 4.05 Cheltenham. System bet Damaniyat Girl 6/1 winner of the 4.20 Newmarket. System bet Esoterica 25/1 winner of the 4.55 Newmarket with my recent tip Bonnie Charlie (see 9th September) 8/1 second! System bet Primaeval 5/2 winner of the 5.05 Redcar with Star Addition 66/1 second! System bet Hevelius 9/2 second in the 5.30 Newmarket with Final Victory 11/2 third. The Winners From Placed Form system still produces good results day after day!

15th October: System bet Rezwaan 3-1 winner of the 2.40 Nottingham. Pastello should be worth a bet soon. Official top-rated Rampant Ronnie 6/1 winner of the 2.50 Ludlow, with my fancy, Mycenean Prince, 16/1 third. My tip from the flat, Gamesters Lady, finished fourth and is worth a bet under either code soon. Montmartre (3.00 Brighton) is very well in, and led for a long way going well before backing out. May not win next time, but watch out for it. Marked Man (3.20 Ludlow) is far better than its finishing position, and is worth a bet next time, along with Dream Falcon. System bets Dhania and Regal Blush second and third in the 3.30 Brighton (I thought Dhania was a certainty). Winner My Les must be quite an animal! Charlie Cool and Bon Spiel are two that did not perform to their best in the 3.40 Nottingham, so note them for the future. Fastnet Storm (-36) 12/1 winner. Young Tot (16/1 second) was best in for the 3.50 Ludlow, but no doubt it did not win because of its recent form figures. Should win soon. I also fancied Le Corvee, (-36) which won the race at 5/1. Pity I was not backing! Pinnacle Lad should have been closer in the 4.10 Nottingham, so should be noted for the future. Outer Hebrides (4.30 Brighton) is well in on old form, but only wins very occasionally when wanted. Next time? System bet Jozafeen 9/2 second in the 4.40 Nottingham. System bet Matuhi 11/4 winner of the 4.50 Ludlow. In fact the first three were all system bets. You can almost make a system for the second favourite to beat the odds-on favourite in a small race! System bet Green Lagonda 16/1 third in the 5.00 Brighton. Look out for Guto and Colorus again shortly. System bet Cawdor 14/1 winner of the 5.10 Nottingham! Lucky Art (66/1 third) was my top-rated, apart from Mamlakati, which had one of those (deliberate?) off-days. Gracechurch (5.30 Wolverhampton) appears to be going through the motions at present, but must make an effort very soon. Russian Rocket (5.40 Nottingham) may be getting rid of a first place next time, but should be competitive shortly. Mazzola (third) is another well in, along with Greek Secret. The winner, Solemn, must be a well-handicapped horse. Cayman Fox and Sweet Applause were best in for the 6.00 Wolverhampton, finishing second and fourth respectively. Both can win soon. Look out for Jord over further (7-8 furlongs). The only two with official ratings, Imalwaysright (10/1) and Barlaman (7/2), finished first and second in the 6.30 Wolverhampton. This often happens, and is worth looking out for. Top Seed (8.30 Wolverhampton) is thrown in and is worth a bet very soon. My recent tip of several occasions, Admirable Duque (see 3rd September, its penultimate run), 14/1 winner of the 9.00 Wolverhampton! I kept going on about it because of the way it had been running previously.

14th October: Murrin was my pick in the 2.30 Lingfield, just getting pipped by the fairly equally rated Hawaana. Invincible Joe went clear for a while and is well in at best. Also keep an eye on Yellow Printer. System bets Pistol Basc and Sycho Fred second and third in the 2.40 Wetherby (system +1 Wizards Dust 11/2 winner). . Donald Will Do should be worth a bet next time. My recent tip, Classic Clover has now won twice on the trot, including last week and troday (9/2). Hever Road is due very soon. Dabbers Ridge (4.10 Lingfield) is thrown in when wanted soon. Also keep an eye on Art Market (third) and Napoletano. Hot Zone, sixth in the 4.30 Uttoxeter, is thrown in for a race very soon. It is about time that Jazacosta (4.45 Lingfield) got involved in a race, so look out for it shortly, as it is well in on old form. Colangnik is another that should do better soon. Mymateeric (5.15 Lingfield) is thrown in for a race very soon, and Cragganmore Creek, out of the handicap today, is another one to look out for.

13th October: Stand In Flames (third in the 2.40 Leicester) should be winning again soon. Mey Blossom and Top Bid (possibly 5 furlongs) are two that are due soon from the 2.50 Newcastle, and don't rule out John Keats. System bet Avontuur 18/1 third. Ingleby Arch, third in the 3.20 Newcastle, is due very soon, along with Rising Shadow. Zelos Diktator (-06) 20/1 winner of the 3.50 Newcastle. Goes against my principles! Dani's Girl (-540) 22/1 winner of the 4.00 Huntingdon! I tipped Graylyn Ruby recently, and it finished third at 14/1 in the 4.10 Leicester. Should win soon, along with Hucking Hero. Let's Roll and Red Wine are two that are due a good run after the 4.20 Newcastle, and don't forget Orsippus (system bet next time). Nakoma (almost a system bet) 25/1 winner of the 4.50 Newcastle, with my fancy, Rudry World 16/1 second! Edas is well worth a bet soon. King Of The Moors (5.10 Leicester) is still well in and worth a bet again soon. Spensley (another -06) 16/1 winner. Hawkit, Monfils Monfils and Realism (5.20 Newcastle) are all worth keeping an eye on soon. Either the jockey on Realism can't ride properly or it was a deliberate ploy to miss the break by many lengths! Make up your own minds!

12th October: System bet Diamond Twister 11/2 second in the 2.20 Kempton. Keep an eye on Djalalabad (third), which is well handicapped, and Marmooq. Inside Story and Lopinot (2.55 Kempton) will be running well very soon. Vitznau, Bolodenka and Stevie Gee (4.20 Salisbury) are now due a good run. System bet Baby Strange 8/1 third in the 4.30 Kempton. Drawnfromthepast (fourth) and Vhujon must be due soon. My recent tip, Hanoverian Baron, wins again at 9/2! System bet Thin Red Line 9/2 winner with Howdigo 7/1 second in the 5.00 Kempton. Pinch Of Salt should do better very soon. Silver Hotspur (5.30 Kempton) is due a good run soon. System bets Dvinsky 5/1 winner with Shaded Edge 10/1 second in the 6.00 Kempton. Ivory Lace is due a win again soon.

8th-11th October: Sorry I've been AWOL for a few days. I took a few days off to watch the snooker. If you've been monitoring this page for selections and tips, I hope to be back shortly. I've had no comments, suggestions or expressions of disappointment from anyone, so can only assume I haven't been missed that much! I hope you have still found a good number of system winners, and even some that I have tipped recently, but I haven't checked all the results yet. If I have missed any myself, I will probably be sore later when I check the results. That's always the way when you miss racing for a while, a lot of your fancies decide to win! I did note system bet Gypsy Jazz 33/1 winner on Wednesday - hope you had that one!

7th October: I missed all the racing today. Sorry if you read this on a regular basis. I hope to resume shortly. Meanwhile, if you have any questions, tips or comments for me, please email me.

6th October: I've been concentrating on my second love today, snooker, so have missed all the racing! A few comments: System bet Al Sabaheya, which I have tipped recently, 13/2 third in the 2.50 Folkestone, with system bet Black And Brew 20/1 fourth. Idle Power, second in the 3.50 Folkestone, should win again soon. Inquisitress and Dancer's Legacy (4.20 Folkestone) are both due soon. Sufad and Evident Pride are also worth a bet next time (4.50). Strensall (second 2.00 Catterick) is another that I have tipped recently and should be winning soon. System bet Love Match 7/2 second in the 2.30 Catterick. I have also tipped Gower Sophia (second in the 3.00 Catterick) recently. Trinder was not in the shakeup in the 3.30, so must also be considered shortly. Pepper Lane (4.00) will do better soon. Fenners (4.00) must try to win next time (system bet). They All Laughed and Blue Jet are two to bear in mind from the 5.00. Rayhani (28/1 winner of the 5.30) was tipped by me last time out (see 19th September) with system bet Saloon 8/1 second! Nawamees must be competitive next time out. Contact me for your daily top-rated!

5th October: I haven't been following the racing today, but a few results and comments: Edgewater (-24) 11/1 winner of the 2.40 Pontefract. System bet Good Again 14/1 winner of the 3.10 Pontefract. Little Perisher (2.40 Pontefract) must try soon. Here Now And Why (4.00 Windsor) will be worth a bet soon. System bet Bea Menace 8/1 winner of the 4.10 Pontefract. Star Links should be worth a bet soon. I have recently tipped both Bow To No One (10/1 winner) and Regal Lyric (11/2 third) in the 4.40 Pontefract. The latter and Persian Memories must win soon. Capeability (5.10 Pontefract) must make a winning effort in the near future. Bere Davis and Very Well Red (4.50 Warwick) are also due soon. System bet Alcalde 8/1 winner of the 5.20 Warwick. System bet Souter Point 9/2 second in the 5.00 Windsor. Am I Blue and Taste The Wine are also worth noting from the 3.50 Warwick.

4th October: Spare Days (unseated) and Can't Remember are two to note from the 2.20 Kelso. System bet Snowy 3/1 winner of the 2.55 Kelso. Nile Moon is worth a bet soon. A horse that I have tipped several times on the flat, Seventh Cavalry, 100/30 winner of the 3.05 Uttoxeter. Night Force should have been better than fourth in the 3.30 Kelso, so keep an eye on it. I thought Youmzain was a stonking each-way bet in the Arc, finishing second at 20/1! Marsam was very disappointing in the 3.40 Uttoxeter. Was clear second best, and will do better soon. System bet and top-rated Is It Me 5/4 winner. System bet Commemoration Day 16/1 winner of the 3.50 Huntingdon! Bureaucrat, a faller, should be worth a bet soon. My top-rated Toulouse Express 10/1 second in the 4.35 Kelso, with Carrietau (due soon) just fourth. Keep an eye on Ballabrook, which led for a long way today and Daraybad. Ticket To Ride did everything but finish in the 5.00 Huntingdon, and will be worth backing soon. Marcel, pulled up in the 5.10 Kelso, is thrown in, probably next time. I tipped Hello Nod recently, winning the race at 11/2. If Pelo Deu Bief retains any ability, it must run better very soon, but that trainer and jockey combination does not inspire much confidence! Rookery Lad threw in a bad run after a second last time out. Grrr! That one and Scotch Corner are thrown in very soon! System bet Pipers Legend (third 16/1) should also be worth a bet soon.

3rd October: I was suspicious of the price of Jo'burg in the 2.05 Epsom, especially as it had a claimer on it. No show! Thrown in and will do better very soon, along with Dani's Girl. System bet Can Can Star 10/1 third. I fancied Daaweitza (20/1 second) in the 2.40 Redcar, but left out Collateral Damage (15/2 winner)! Could have had a good forecast there! White Deer will be worth a bet again soon. My pick, Miss Merenda, 16/1 third in the 2.50 Fontwell. Toi Express and Major Belle should do better soon. System bet Spacious 14/1 third in the 3.00 Newmarket. Star Rover (3.15 Redcar) does not appear to get further than 5 furlongs, but will do better when back at that trip. Angel's Pursuit obviously underperformed.I had a small eachway on Captain Kirkup (20/1 second). System bet Tartan Gigha 33/1 second of the Cambridgeshire. Fortunately I backed Supaseus (16/1 winner). Smokey Oakey (last) is running below form, but there will probably be money for it when it runs better. Also Docofthebay. Free Tussy, fourth in the 3.45 Epsom, is thrown in for a win very soon. Royal Confidence, fourth in the 3.55 Redcar, will also do better soon. System bet The Good Guy 18/1 winner of the 4.05 Fontwell! And I had the forecast with Olivino (13/2 second). Pastello (4.15 Newmarket) will be worth a bet soon. Tudor Key (third in the 4.20 Epsom) will run well soon, possibly not next time. O'Toole and Warpath (4.40 Fontwell) will do better soon than they did today. My recent tip, Nudge And Nurdle, 11/4 winner of the race. Spirit Of Sharjah keeps running below form, and probably won't win next time, but make a note of it soon. Fishforcompliments is another due soon. I made a note of Aldermoor (25/1 winner) but didn't back it! System bet One Way Or Another 7/1 second. Pacific Pride, Cape Royal and Guest Connections were all disappointing in the 5.05 Redcar, and must be more competitive soon. Unfortunately Pacific Pride's stable companion, system bet Select Committee, 16/1, won the race, which rather destroyed my punt on Pacific Pride! Well, it was -06, I suppose! You can never tell with these stables! Just Beware (5.15 Fontwell) is worth a bet next time. Well, what do you know? Lindoro (-06) 8/1 winner of the 5.30 Epsom! Just shows that they do win sometimes! King Columbo, Ginobili and Cordell were probably put off by each other, but should all run well soon. Baltimore Jack and Wovoka decided not to run full out today, but both can win again soon. Loyal Royal was hacking in the 6.15 Wolverhampton, but got hampered at a vital time and finished only fifth. The jockey's fault for being too far back! Look out for it in its next two races. The winner of the 7.15 Wolverhampton, Fasilight (100/30) was a kind of system bet (-060), which I have backed before. Two horses that should have done better were Yeadon and Tucker's Law, which I expect to run better very soon. Do you know, before I looked at the result, I kind of expected Yeadon to finish fourth, as it had done on its previous three outings! These jockeys can get them to finish in almost any position! I think it becomes a kind of game sometimes, as I have remarked before. It's not quite so much fun if you are backing them (trainers please note). Will Yeadon now win, or have another couple of bad races? Jack Junior was thrown in on old form for the 7.45 Wolverhampton, but I can almost read their minds now, and I half expected it to come fourth! This is what often happens when a horse is coming back towards a winning attempt. But they don't half drag it out sometimes! Ansell's Pride and Hilbre Court are both due a winning attempt after the 8.15 Wolverhampton. If I weren't a bit worried about some kind of libel action, I could probably write a nice little thesis on the logistics and strategy of horse racing form! It is, of course, all above board, and every horse is trying its best, so such a thesis would be totally redundant!

2nd October: System bet and my recent tip, Lahib The Fifth, 8/1 second in the 2.15 Hexham. System bet Rio De La Plata 4/1 second in the 1.55 Newmarket. System bet Transformer 5/2 winner of the 1.35 Lingfield. Queen Of Thebes and Order Order should do better soon. Montmartre, unplaced in the 2.05 Lingfield, is worth keeping an eye on. Kings Sabre has been running below form, and was second again today in the 3.15 Newmarket. Should win soon, along with Cool Art (fourth). System bet Rudoph Schmidt 5/2 winner. My recent tip, Bush Master, 8/1 second in the 3.50 Lingfield. My tip last time out, Ballynure, 11/2 winner of the 4.00 Hexham. Doris's Gift and Sycho Fred will be worth a bet soon. Carmenero was thrown in for the 4.25 Lingfield, but ran as if it had no chance - well it won't if it runs like that, will it? Thrown in soon, along with non-runner Highland Harvest. The Magic Of Rio is another well in on old form. Good old Blacktoft - one of my favourite horses on the flat, won the 4.35 Hexham at 8/1! System bet Bally Rock 16/1 winner of the 4.10 Gowran Park. Dartagnan's Dream was tipped by me recently and finished second at 14/1 in the 5.00 Lingfield. I also got the tricast with Champagne Fizz (16/1). Both of these are worth a bet soon. Panthers Run finally won a race in the 5.10 Hexham at 10/1! Uptown Lad will be worth backing shortly over a longer trip, after getting rid of that first place, along with Ravenscar. System bet Yankee Holiday 10/1 third. Dhania led for a long way in the 5.35 Lingfield, only to pack up tamely. That is not a true reflection of its abilty, and will do better soon, along with The Saucy Snipe. I couldn't believe that Gassin would win for the Bell stable at 25/1 in the 5.50 Wolverhampton, so didn't back it! System bet Kersivay 8/1 second with system bet All For You 8/1 third. Smalljohn and Amber Sunset (led much tonight) are worth backing soon.

1st October: Today's top-rated: Captain Royale/Blazing Heights (2.55 Ayr), Jamieson Gold (3.30 Ayr), Kings Head (4.05 Ayr), Saa'ida (4.30 Good), Obe Brave (4.40 Ayr), Favourite Girl (4.55 New), Fazbee/Swift Chap (5.05 Good), Ingleby Princess (5.15 Ayr), Final Verse (5.30 New), Imperial Echo (5.50 Ayr). Posted at 1.30 p.m. System bet Awesome Act 3/1 winner of the 2.00 Newmarket. System bet Silver Linnet 11/4 third in the 2.20 Ayr. System bet Sana Abel 15/8 winner of the 2.45 Goodwood. Captain Royale (above) was well there entering the final furlong, finishing in sixth, with Blazing Heights well back. Both of these are well in again soon, along with Lake Chini (fifth). System bet Hosanna 40/1 second! System bet Chips O'Toole 7/1 winner of the 3.20 Goodwood. Jamieson Gold (above) made no real effort, although running on late for fifth place. They are so annoying, these well-in horses! Woodsley House (sixth) is another well in, along with French Art (second). On ratings Nideeb ran below par in the 3.45 Newmarket, so should be noted for the future. I almost knew that Kings Head (above) would get third in a six horse race at 33/1, but I had to give it as a selection just in case. It came up hacking over the others, but, as usual, did not go through with it, hanging behind the front two. They all know too much to allow a horse like that to win at that price! The horse is thrown in when wanted! System bet Olifan D'Oudairies 8/1 second in the 4.05 Sligo. Spin Cycle (-26) 8/1 winner of the 4.20 Newmarket. Look out for Matsunosuke in a handicap very soon! They are certainly taking their time with Captain Gerrard too! Saa'ida (above) made good ground and dropped back again, whereas my other two top-rated, Sam Sharp and Andhaar finished second and third! They must have told connections of Sam Sharp to back it each-way as it would finish second! All three are worth backing soon. The Bear, Obe Brave and Steel Blue under-performed markedly in the 4.40 Ayr - how many times have I said that? All three must do better soon. It's annoying, because as big outsiders you almost know it's going to happen, but you have to back them! System bet Sea Of Leaves 6/1 winner of the 4.55 Newmarket. Favourite Girl was just in behind most of the way, but never made an effort to challenge. That one and Angus Newz (led much) are due very soon. At last a winner! Swift Chap (above) 8/1 winner of the 5.05 Goodwood. Fazbee is due very soon. Ingleby Princess (above) (sixth) was the only one of my top four rated not to place in the 5.15 Ayr - Sod's law again! Final Verse (above) made a shortlived effort to get on terms in the 5.30 Newmarket, but, as with most of my selections today, backed out. A thankless task at present! Worth a bet soon. along with Dingaan. Colorus and Brandywell Boy did not perform in the 5.40 Goodwood, but at least my third choice, Even Bolder, won at 8/1. Imperial Echo (above) was disappointing again, finishing only fourth in the 5.50 Ayr. I suppose it had asymmetrical form, which is often a bad sign. And that 5lb claimer again. That is often the kiss of death! Is thrown in soon. System bet Mister Jingles 3/1 third. Goldie made a three-timer on the day with Mr Lu, which amazingly had form which ended in -06! Is somebody having a laugh at me (see my comments on this recently)? Positivity is another thrown in soon. My top four rated for the 6.45 Wolverhampton were: Baan, King In Waiting, Mymateeric and Wester Lodge. Of these, the last three named finished second, fourth and third. Baan should therefore be competitive again soon, and the other three should be noted for a win soon. I think I may have to give up listing selections in advance on here, because I feel that this in some way adversely affects the results. Are they being monitored? Perhaps I'll keep them to myself! Will make a decision shortly.

30th September: Top-rated today: Prince Of Thebes (2.00 Sal), Thunder Bay (2.10 New), Raimond Ridge (2.50 Nott), Foreign Rhythm (2.40 New), Vhujon (3.05 Sal), Ella Woodcock (4.25 New), Dichoh (4.50 Sal), Orsippus (5.00 New), Brunette (5.10 Nott), Sufad (5.20 Sal), Graylyn Ruby (5.30 New). Posted at 12.30 p.m.
Prince Of Thebes (above) decided to front-run today, and was well clear for a while before packing up into fifth or sixth. I don't know what they are doing with it, but it's about time it ran a good race! Frustrating! Double Valentine could be worth a bet soon. Thunder Bay was another that came third last time and typically decided to run terribly today! Rainbow Bay was another that I was expecting to run well with no joy. The third, Ursus, at least came second at 5/1. System bet Rio Sands 9/1 winner, with the second Ursus also having a system type profile. By Command was thrown in for the 2.30 Salisbury, but they don't want to win four horse races! It's so patently obvious, but nobody remarks upon it! It's almost amusing to see what is happening if you weren't so annoyed! Will win a handicap before long. Foreign Rhythm (above) made rapid ground from the back of the field before getting hampered and finishing sixth. If they wanted to win, it woudn't have been so far back in the first place! Don't back or tip horses with -06! How many times have I got to tell you? Watch for that one and Town House soon. System bet Tanley 12/1 second. I must give up racing! Raimond Ridge (above) cam up hacking and did not go through with it. Claimer on it again! That's almost always a bad sign rather than a plus! Lucky Art was not wanted today, because there was no money for it, and Fasliyanne also dropped out. All three will do better soon. Vhujon had figures ending in -05, which again is often not a good sign, and that proved correct, although the horse made good ground in mid-race. Royal Intruder is obviously very useful too, and travels powerfully, winning at 5/1. I also backed Steelcut, 20/1 third. Phantom Whisper should be competitive soon. Di Stefano should have done better in the 4.15 Salisbury and should be worth a bet soon. Ella Woodcock (above) was held up and ran on late for third at 16/1 in the 4.25 Salisbury. You could see the jockey physically holding it back so that it did not win! Worth a bet and thrown in when wanted. Navajo Joe and Society Music should also be worth backing soon. System bet Mr Udegawa 11/4 winner of the 4.35 Nottingham, with my pick, Olive Green, 9/2 second. The latter ran on too late, unless it wasn't intended to win. Dichoh (above) 9/1 winner of the 4.50 Salisbury. I also fancied Anne's Rocket, which ran well and finished fourth. Orsippus (above) came up swinging on the bridle in the 5.00 Newcastle, eventually finishing second at 20/1. Not sure if that was all they wanted, but it was thrown in on old form, and worth a bet again soon. Brunette (above) was unplaced in the 5.10 Nottingham, but worth backing soon. Bateau Bleu (three duck's eggs) 66/1 winner! Sufad (above) made a brief effort before dropping out. I must remember not to give -05 horses as selections! Whenever and Wester Ross, with Sufad are worth backing soon. I have tipped Capable Guest so many times lately, and when I didn't give it today, of course it won (11/2)! Fortunately I did back it just in case! Graylyn Ruby (above) and Dechiper will run well soon. There was more money for Astronomical than Free Tussy in the 5.40 Nottingham, so they must have known something that I didn't, as Free Tussy was clearly best in! Damn! I was certain that Free Tussy would beat Astronomical, but just failed. I think that was pre-planned, as Free Tussy was clearly going better a furlong out. Mind you, they have given Free Tussy an in and out campaign, just winning when wanted, so keep backing it. Berbice (9/2) came charging through in the 5.50 Kempton, but contrived to get beaten into second. Can't believe it! Must win soon. Monashee Rock (fourth) should also win soon. Why is it when I back a win and an each way I get a second and a fourth? Sod's Law! System bet Kings Masque 20/1 winner with system bet Super Fourteen 20/1 third!

29th September: System bet Angie's Nap 10/1 winner of the 1.50 Southwell, with my top-rated My Mandy 12/1 third. I backed Abhainn (11/2 winner) in the 2.10 Warwick, but there were others better in, including the thrown in Golden Dixie (fourth) and Bahamian Ceilidh, which must try soon. Bold Ring (third) is a horse to keep an eye on, as it always seems to run better than expected. System bet + 1 Clear Ice 20/1 second in the 2.20 Southwell (system bet Avec Moi fourth). Avec Moi should be worth a bet soon. Clever Molly is another worth keeping an eye on. Whatcanyasay should be worth a bet soon after dropping out in the 2.30 Sedgefield. I thought I was going to get at least a place with Desert Stag, but it finished fourth. I liked the look of Subtefuge's form (-25) in the 2.40 Warwick and backed it (winner at 10/1) with Rule Of Nature for the forecast. System bet Skylancer 12/1 winner of the 3.00 Sedgefield! Three horses to note from the 3.20 Southwell: Decameron, Celtic Step and Marning Star. All three were better in than the placed horses, so should perform soon. System bet McConnell 5/1 winner with system bet Ours 6/1 second. The system strikes again! Apex and Bere Davis (fourth) were well in for the 3.40 Warwick, but did not trouble the judge. Both are worth a bet soon. My top three rated for the 3.50 Southwell were Versaki, Byron Bay and Prince Golan. The first two were well there (Byron Bay was backed almost like a certainty) until dropping out, but Prince Golan came from the back to snatch third place at 33/1. Watch all three again shortly. System bet Beautiful Vision 8/1 winner of the 4.00 Sedgefield. Take Your Mark (fourth) was thrown in on old form, but is taking its time making a show. Could win in Ireland or over here. Green Earth (-36) 8/1 winner of the 4.10 Warwick. Danzoe should be worth a bet soon. Orphelin Collonges was well in for the 4.30 Sedgefield, and was going well before fading. Worth keeping an eye on. I also wrote down the winner, Perpetuum (201!) Gulf Punch (4.40 Warwick), 2lb out of the handicap, continues to disappoint, but with all those duck's eggs must be more competitive soon! If Creevy (best rating 59) can come second, why can't Gulf Punch do better off 70 and a lower weight? Answer - because it's not wanted yet! West End Wonder was thrown in for the 5.00 Sedgefield, but, as usual at 40/1, finished fourth for no value. They know what they are doing! System bet Hits Only Jude 16/1 second in the 5.20 Southwell. Provost was thrown in, but 50/1 was not a promising price! Watch for it soon, along with Elusive Warrior and Ocean Legend. Three to watch from the 5.40 Warwick - Gala Sunday, Touch Of Style and Artreju, all of which were much better in than their finishing positions. I keep listing horses like this because they are not performing as they should, and it is only a question of patience! I also tipped Tivers Song recently, which finished third at 9/1 and will be a system bet next time.

28th September: Today's top-rated: Desert Leader (2.00 Wolv), Summa Cum Laude (2.30 Wolv), Desperate Dan (2.40 Bath), Bahama Baileys (2.50 Bright), Hay Fever (3.00 Wolv), Pepper Lane (3.30 Wolv), Napoletano (3.50 Bright), Granny McPhee (4.20 Bright), Motor Home (4.40 Bath), Goodbye Cash (4.50 Bright), Briannsta (5.20 Bright), Hypnotic (5.30 Wolv). Posted at 12.35 p.m.
System bet My Mate Mal 12/1 second in the 2.00 Wolverhampton, with Red Expresso (-36) 12/1 winner. Desert Leader (above) never had any intention of getting in the shakeup, but is thrown in, possibly next time. Zalkani and Sir Billy Nick are two thers due soon. Reddy To Star should have been much closer than fourth in the 2.10 Bath, and only ran on when it was too late. Keep an eye on that one. Summa Cum Laude did not show in the 2.30 Wolverhampton, but I also backed Gower Sophia, which finished second at 33/1. Cane Cat was another well in, but eventually finished only fourth. Worth a bet soon, along with Summa Cum Laude. Desperate Dan (above) 14/1 winner of the 2.40 Bath! That's better! Misaro and Fault should do better very soon. Bahama baileys (above) continues to disappoint, but is probably waiting for a less compettitve race. I had Who's Winning, Mamlakati and Dianes Choice as my next three rated, giving first, second and fourth! Just proves that Bahama Baileys did not try too hard! Hay Fever (above) 6/1 second. On ratings should have won comfortably, but obviously not for today. System bet Milldown Story 4/5 winner. My next two rated, Turkish Locum and Commandingpresence finished third and fourth. The Composer was thrown in for the 3.10 Bath, but, as usual in these small races, was only looking for a place (third). Loomed up going nicely, but did not push it too hard. Should do even better in a bigger race before long. The winners must know the score before these races, otherwise they would be wasting their money if getting beat! Royal Challenge and Norcroft were best in the 3.20 Brighton, but another small race, and they finished second and fourth. Look out for Norcroft in a handicap soon. Pepper Lane (above) 10/1 third in the 3.30 Wolverhampton. Saucy Girl and Rightcar should be more competitive soon. I had You've Been Mowed (25/1 winner) in my top four for the 3.50 Brighton, but ignored it because of its outstanding first place! Napoletano was second most of the way, but dropped out (normally comes late). Worth a bet next time, along with Murrin. System bet Patrickswell 14/1 winner of the 3.45 Roscommon! Hallingdal was best in on figures for the 4.00 Wolverhampton, finishing second at 20/1, but you don't know how much potential there is in the Stoute horses! Granny McPhee (above) was thrown in for the 4.20 Brighton, but at 40/1 I was not too optimistic. Made eyeground late, only to get snatched up and finsih fourth. Watch for it soon. Triple Cee was my second-rated, finishing second. Also watch out for Kings Lamont soon. I wondered whether Motor Home (above) would take one more run before making an effort, and I was not wrong. Is thrown in when wanted. Jazacosta is another that showed nothing today, but will try very soon. Frustrating business, this racing lark! Goodbye Cash (above) was fourth in the 4.50 Brighton. Too much competition in the shape of H Harrison and Party In The Park (sixth). All three are due again soon, but when you get closely weighted rivals, none of them seem to perform, so you get the fifth or sixth rated horse winning! System bet Ocean Countess, however, was the winner at 14/1, if only I would take notice! Briannsta (above) is absolutely thrown in when wanted, which should be next time, as it will still be a system bet. Bermondsey Bob will also win again soon. I also backed Namu each-way, finishing third at 10/1 after being well back. The omens were not good in the 5.30 Wolverhampton, with all the thrown in horses as outsiders. Hypnotic (above) dashed off into a sisx lengths lead, then packed up tamely and finished last. I guarantee you that it will stay in front when they want it (over 40lb in hand)! It is also about time that Sign Of The Cross and Inside Story ran well, so watch for all three very soon. Some of the running is farcical in these races! Another Decree is another to look out for next time. Caribbean Coral was too bad to be true in the 5.50 Brighton, apparently always being restrained by its rider. Must be winning again soon. Red Cell, Style Award (third) and Thoughtsofstardom should all win soon. How does that guy on the At The Races website get four winners out of four? He must have better information than me! It's hard enough getting a couple, but I do like outsiders!

27th September: Top-rated today: Zelos Girl (1.55 Muss), Night Crescendo (2.05 Asc), Red Rocks (2.40 Asc), John Keats (2.30 Muss), Andorn (3.05 Muss), Dennick (2.50 Mkt), Thehonourablelady (3.25 Mkt), Wovoka (4.15 Muss), Ursumman (4.35 Mkt), Kings Head (4.50 Muss), Uptown Lad/Nudge And Nurdle (5.10 Mkt), Blazing Heights (5.20 Muss). Posted at 1.23 p.m.
Zelos Girl (above) was best in for the 1.55 Musselburgh, but with poor recent form was obviously content with third at 12/1. Inthawain should be worth a bet soon. Night Crescendo (above) never showed, but that is typical when a horse has figures of -03. Will be a system bet next time. I also backed Australia Day (10/1) and system bet Unleashed (9/1), so got second and third. John Keats (above) 10/1 third in the 2.30 Musselburgh. Fortunately I also backed Malcheek (15/2 winner) (which I tipped recently - see 28th August) and Sea Salt (5/1 second) for a nice forecast and tricast! Red Rocks (above) ran a good race in fourth, but was 10kg overweight according to the trainer. How are we supposed to know that? Masterofthehorse and Macarthur are two others to consider soon. From the betting one would imagine that everybody knew they wouldn't run well today! As almost expected on the form figures, Dennick (above) was useless in the 2.50 Market Rasen. Will win very soon now. My second-rated and system bet, Cumbrian Knight, finished third at 50/1! I have tipped the winner, Phoenix Eye, previously. Sonic Anthem will also be worth a bet soon. Andorn (above) which I have tipped on numerous occasions, finally came good today, winning the 3.05 Musselburgh at 9/1! Birkside will win again very soon. I had Sayif (11/1 winner) top-rated for the 3.15 Ascot, but didn't get the bet on in time! How annoying! That's what happens when racing is on two channels - you forget the time! J J The Jet Plane has been running too bad to be true recently, as has Art Connoisseur. Keep an eye on both of them. Despite being a strong favourite, Thehonourablelady (above) finished well back in the 3.25 Market Rasen. I also backed Classic Fly (winner) and Fast Fred, which should be competitve soon. Faith And Reason was hacking, but found nothing at the end of the race. Must win soon. Feeling Fab was a horse I had been waiting for, winning the 3.40 Musselburgh at 6/1. System bet Burgundy Ice 9/2 third. To Be Or Not To Be ran a good race, and should be worth a bet soon. Wovoka (above) failed to perform, (will win again soon) and King Of The Moors sprang another surprise (to me) at 6/1! Royal Power could only finish third, but that is probably standard, considering its previous poor form. These claimers are a menace! Flawed Genius failed to come out of the stalls again - should be barred. Watch for Bed Fellow in a handicap soon. Peppertree Lane and The Betchworth Kid were both disappointing in the 4.25 Ascot and must do better soon, although the former was off a long layoff. Ursumman (above) was just testing today, leading for a long way and jumping fluently before finishing fourth. Will be worth a bet soon, but I suspect it won't be 16/1! Kings Head (above) started at 33/1, made good ground towards the latter stages, then dropped out. Showed enough to suggest it will be ready soon. I fancied Elna Bright and Alfathaa in the 5.00 Ascot and they finished first and second at 14/1 and 9/2. Pity I didn't put it on my list above! That's always the way, though, isn't it? Nudge And Nurdle (above) 13/2 second with Uptown Lad 10/1 third. I expected Uptown Lad to run into a place, because it had two first places at the front of its form, and that is a regular procedure. It will probably be hopeless next time, then win. Nudge And Nurdle is very well in when wanted, and was cruising today before losing on the run-in. Blazing Heights, Strensall and Windjammer were all hopeless in the 5.20 Musselburgh, but can all be noted for an early success.

26th September: Top-rated today: Sadlers Star (1.35 Mkt), Gaspara/Leslingtaylor (2.05 Mkt), Lost Soldier Three (2.25 Hay), Drawnfromthepast (3.00 Hay), Green Manalishi/Atlantic Story (3.35 Hay), Something/Advanced (3.40 Asc), Damika (4.25 Chest), Pepporoni Pete (4.30 Mkt), Memphis Man (5.00 Chest), Rio Guru (5.15 Hay), Tungsten Strike (5.25 Asc), Ella Woodcock (5.35 Chest). Posted at 12.56 p.m.
Sadlers Star (above) third at 15/2. Very well in on old form and pecked at the last, but would not have won anyway. I thought I was going to get a real result in the 1.55 Ascot, when my three value choices, Lady Francesca, Ermine And Velvet and Annabelle's Charm were all in contention a furlong out. Unfortunately they all faded to finish in the ruck! All of these were quite well in at the weights and could be worth a bet again soon. Leslingtaylor (above) 10/1 fourth in the 2.05 Market Rasen. Finished really fast, but too late. Gaspara was badly hampered when my other choice, Katies Tutor, fell. System bet Lochiel winner of the 2.25 Haydock. Lost Soldier Three (above) was right there, going well, most of the way, but dropped to fifth place. Is still thrown in when wanted. Bajan Parkes is also still well in, despite finishing last. Drawnfromthe past (above) led for most of the way in the 3.00 Chester before dropping out. Fortunately I also backed the first, system bet Hitchens (7/1), and third, system bet Red Cape (20/1). Triple Cee was best in for the 3.20 Chester, but finished only third (very fast). Must be waiting for a handicap. Green Manilishi (above) 4/1 winner of the 3.35 Haydockwith Atlantic Story 10/1 third. System bet Advanced (above) 33/1 winner of the 3.40 Ascot with Something (above) 33/1 dead-heat third! How's that for tipping? Damika (above) 14/1 third. Pepporoni Pete (above and system bet) 7/1 winner! I mentioned Desert Dreamer (20/1 winner) a few days ago (see 12th September) on its last run and said its form figures were now very promising! Email me for future selections.

25th September: Having been out since mid-morning, I scarcely had a chance to look at today's racing, and have little comment to make today, except that Dr Jamieson continues to run below par, and must be due a good run very soon. I will post any further comments when I have reviewed the cards and racing replays. Apologies, I was thinking of Jamieson Gold when I wrote the above. The correct horse for me, Tiger Dream, won the 5.05 Haydock, in that it was my top-rated. Nevada Desert must make an effort very soon. System bet Williams Wishes 3/1 winner of the 1.50 Worcester. Rustler should be checked out in the near future. Swordsman should have won the 2.20 Worcester at the weights, so is worth keeping an eye on. In the 4.40, make a note of Mylo, Snake Hips and Chamacco, which should do better soon. From the 5.15, make a note of Dev and Phar Again. Bush Master appeared to be going very well in the 3.20 Haydock, finishing only around fifth, so should be watched for a better run. System bet Mull Of Killough 4/1 winner of the 4.30 Haydock. System bet Miss Firefly 14/1 second in the 5.45 Wolverhampton. System bets Romantic Queen 13/2 winner and Kingsgate Castle 11/4 second in the 6.20 Wolverhampton. Cape Royal was a big disappointment in the 6.50 Wolverhampton, running up with the pace before dropping right out! I wasn't too suprised as the price went right out to 20/1, but if this happens, how do they know that the horse is going to run so badly unless those are the jockey's instructions? Must be worth a bet soon, and keep an eye on Chjimes shortly. Almaty Express may take one more race out before making an effort.

24th September: Today's top-rated: Star Galaxy (2.40 Font), Pacific Pride (3.30 Pont), Motafrred (4.00 Pont), Portavadie (4.20 Perth), Albert Park (4.10 Font), Eljay's Boy (4.40 Font), Stylish Shot (4.50 Perth), Ocean Du Moulin (5.10 Font), Jeer (5.00 Pont). Posted at 1.40 p.m.
Star Galaxy (above) was thrown in and favourite for the 2.40 Fontwell, finishing tailed off. Will do much better soon (system bet next time). I had Canni Thinkaar as my second rated, finishing fourth at 50/1! Present Oriented must be worth a bet next time, along with Aleemdar. Pacific Pride (above) was another thrown in, finishing only sixth, but can do much better. Dickie Le Davoir may now take one more race before getting competitive. Motafarred (above) finished third, but should have done better. What do you know? Jeer (above) was another to finish third - one of those days! At least Albert Park finished second (10/1), but I had it as best in, just above the winner, Tiger Moss (also 10/1)! Eljay's Boy (above) should win soon (system next time). Ocean Du Moulin (above) finished sixth today, but is not fooling me, and is thrown in when wanted. Stylish Shot (above) was a non-runner. Will be worth a bet soon. The three horses that won and placed in the 4.50 Perth all had system or symmetrical form, including No More Prisoners (third 16/1). Strong Rebel (sixth) will do better soon. Sovereignty and Phluke were clear best in for the 6.00 Kempton, finishing third and fourth respectively. I have been tipping Phluke for ages and it must deliver sometime soon! It is now 36lb well in on best form. Integria (-35) 12/1 winner. Marmooq is another worth looking out for shortly. Alhaque should have been closer to Blue Nymph in the 6.30 Kempton, but may do better in a handicap soon. Wish I had done the forecast, but Alhaque looked a rock solid each-way bet. System bet Annambo, which I tipped recently (see 5th September), 9/1 winner of the 7.00 Kemton. Damn, missed it because of the presence of Filun, Mixing and Imperium, all of which were useless tonight. Imperium must go close very soon, but was marginally worse in than Annambo tonight. Fantastic Morning is another that is very well in. Watch for it when there is any money.

23rd September: Top-rated today: Gulf Punch (2.15 Red), Elkhorn (2.50 Red), Forest Dane/Silver Guest (3.10 Good), Dabbers Ridge (3.25 Red), Hartshead (4.00 Red), Longspur (4.35 Red), The Wicketkeeper (4.35 Perth), Capable Guest (4.35 Good), Thunder Bay (5.10 Red), Dhhamaan (5.40 Red), More Likely/Imtihan (5.55 Perth). Posted at 11.05 a.m.
System bet Ella Grace 12/1 second in the 2.15 Redcar. Gulf Punch (above) was always just behind the leaders, but never picked up. Just The Tonic (fifth) is also worth a bet soon. Elkhorn (above) was best in for the 2.50 Redcar, finishing third at 6/1, which at least is a return. Not quite as good as it was, or would have hacked up.Rainbow Bay finished fourth and is due soon. The same applies to Foreign Rhythm, probably over five furlongs rather than six. Forest Dane and Silver Guest (above) were both very well in, and Forest Dane travelled well behind the leaders without threatening in fifth place. Both of these will do better very soon. No money for Dabbers Ridge today, which finished tailed off last. How can you back horses like that? Royal Dignitary and Kings Point were my other fancies, Kings Point running in the lead until finishing fourth. Ridiculous lack of effort by Dabbers Ridge and Royal Dignitary, which no doubt will run better when wanted! I don't appreciate the way jockeys are presumably told to run either well or badly, which is totally unfair on the bona fide punter risking his money! Prospectorous was my pick for the 3.35 Perth, winning at 9/4. I wanted Tranos (second best in) for the forecast, unfortunately finishing a close third at 14/1. Hartshead was not prepared to take on Baltimore Jack today, but made ground easily before dropping out. Watch out for it soon (-050 next time), along with French Art (fifth) and Quince. Stylish Shot was thrown in for the 4.10 Perth, but dropped out tamely. Fortunately I also fancied Dark Energy (11/2 winner) and Genari (12/1), first and third. I fancied Fanditha (11/1 winner) in the 4.20 Goodwood, and got the forecast with Plymouth Rock. Longspur (above) pulled up again in the 4.35 Redcar. They must be holding it back for its handicap mark. Rose Cheval, next best in, was also useless, leading to one of those ridiculous puzzling results! Not even Grethel ran a good race. The Wicketkeeper (above) 16/1 second in the 4.45 Perth. Drat! I had the first three written down in the right order and left out Kells Castle! Capable Guest (above) 9/1 third in the 4.55 Goodwood. Will win again one day! Keep an eye on Zaif (thrown in soon), Maslak and Grosse Prophet. Thunder Bay (above) 16/1 third in the 5.10 Redcar. Lots of places today! Was thrown in, but a place was probably wanted first. Also keep an eye on Town House and Toy Top soon. I mentioned recently that Regents Secret was due a win, but did not expect it to beat Pigeon Island! Just shows what can happen in small races (nudge nudge, wink, wink!)! Dhhamaan (above) was thrown in for the 5.40 Redcar, but you have to watch the money with that stable, and an opening show of 20/1 was not promising. When the money comes, get on it! Ronnie Howe was prominent for a long way before dropping out. Also worth a bet soon. It's amazing, None of my five top-rated figured. How can you back like that? What can you do when the best in horses all constantly fail miserably? More Likely was clear best in the 5.55 Perth and finished last! Ridiculous, but must try soon (system bet next time). The same applies to Imtihan (possibly not next time) and Mr Preacher Man. Up there, drop out! Incredible. Watch out for them all again. I have tipped New World Order recently, and it won the 6.50 Kempton at 9/2. The only one that could have beaten it, Sew'nso Character, did not perform, but must show very soon now. Two others to keep an eye on: Onenightinlisbon and Gracechurch. Union Island made good ground around the outside in the 7.20 Kempton, and looked to be going well before dropping out. Could be worth a bet soon, along with Latin Tinge. Ballenteni was best in for the 7.50 Kempton, but did not get home over 12 furlongs. Watch out for it over a shorter trip. Other disappointments were Guiseppe Verdi and Inch Lodge. All three should be much closer soon. At these weights Clovis and Imperial Harry should also have done better. Three horses that probably cancelled each other out in the 8.50 Kempton: , The Snatcher and Trafalgar Square. All three are certainly due now, and can't go much longer without making an effort. Unfortunately it was not tonight, but they can't be far away. Make a note. It is so annoying when the best in horses make no effort! My top two rated in the 9.20 Kempton were Shake On It and system bet Straight Face (tipped by me on 3rd September). The latter won at 15/2 with Shake On It was third at 20/1. The last named is thrown in very soon. The second, Dili Dancer (20/1) was also a system bet!

22nd September: I didn't see much of the racing today, but of my top-rated, the following ran below par: Ivory Lace, Vhujon, Sand Repeal, Percolator, Matsunosuke, Caliban, Orpen Wide, Prestbury Knight, Goodwood Starlight and Nuit Sombre. All of these should be worth an investment soon. Inter Vision has now got its second place and should win soon. Also keep an eye on Fossgate, Fiefdom, Al Sabaheya, Bernix and Wotatomboy. Rain Stops Play was well backed in the 5.30 Beverley, but did not get into the argument. Emperors Well led most of the way but could only finish fifth. Those two and Royal Fantasy are well overdue a win. My previous tip, Thunderstruck, 40/1 fourth in the 5.00 Beverley (only 15 runners, unfortunately). I am now re-opening subscriptions for my top-rated daily. Normally one or two selections per race for approximately 8 races. These have produced winners at 66/1, 33/1, 25/1, etc, recently, plus numerous good-priced placed horses (see above). Contact me for details.

21st September: Kings Sabre and Versaki were best in for the 2.50 Leicester, finishing second and third at 9/1 and 5/1. However, Equipe De Nuit has been due for some time (tipped by me a couple of times) and obliged today at 3/1. System bet Down The Dale 40/1 winner of the 3.05 Ballinrobe! System bet Ulysses 16/1 second in the 3.10 Hamilton. Naomh Geileis and Hawkit will be worth a bet very soon. Neither The Tatling nor The Jobber made any effort to get into the 3.20 Leicester, and will both be worth a bet again soon, although The Tatling is probably going to get rid of another first place soon. System bet Nisaal 7/1 second in the 3.40 Hamilton. Woodsley House was my top-rated (apart from Primo Way, which I have given up on), but did not show after a slow start. Why is when I back an outsider with a good chance, it does something like that? Will do better very soon, along with Ella Woodcock. Traphalgar and Buddhist Monk were first and second in the 3.50 Leicester, but Albuharith did not run up to form and may be worth a bet soon. Mandarin Spirit (Sys +1) 16/1 winner of the 4.40 Hamilton. First Order and Caranbola were by far best in, but did not perform today. Both are worth a bet soon. My tip last time out, Black Dahlia, 8/1 winner of the 4.50 Leicester. Strangely enogh the first and second, Follow The Flag, were both once trained by McCabe. System bet Ray Of Joy 6/1 second in the 5.00 Kempton. Klynch will be worth a bet soon, along with A Saint Needs Brass. Caribbean Coral (third in the 5.10 Hamilton) is working back towards a win, not sure it will be next time. System bet Dalarossie 100/30 second. Coconut Moon led for a while in the race, is well in, and should be worth a bet soon. Rainbow Bay could also make an attempt soon. System bet Witchry 10/1 third. Charlie Delta was thrown in for the 5.20 Leicester, but made no show. Must try to win very soon, along with Sion Hill. I tipped Hurricane Spirit on its previous run (see 5th September), and it won the 5.30 Kempton today at 20/1! Nice! Apex was going nicely behind the leaders and will be worth a bet soon. My top-rated, Captain Royale (tipped last time out), 11/2 winner of the 5.40 Hamilton. My selections sent previously are usually worth following later and often are successful. If you would like to subscribe to my selections, please email me.

20th September: Today's top-rated: Little Perisher (2.10 Ham), Morestead (2.30 Plum), Alfie Noakes (2.50 Utt), Pepporoni Pete (3.30 Plum), Gan Eagla (4.00 Plum), Hindu Kush (4.10 Ham), Fuel Cell/Tawrific Laois (4.20 Utt), Dere Lyn (4.30 Plum), Regal Lyric (4.40 Ham), Warpath (4.50 Utt), Kilrogan (5.00 Plum), Apache Dawn (5.20 Utt).

It's that man Fahey again, winning the first at Hamilton with Emerald Girl at 4/1. Little Perisher (above) was right at the back before running on late. I thought running again so quickly might be a good sign, especially as a system bet. Is well treated on old form, but they are obviously taking their time! No money for Cambuslang, but might also be worth a bet soon. Hurrah! Morestead (above) (and see 6th September) 10/1 winner of the 2.30 Plumpton. Bisley will be worth a bet soon. I also backed Risk (7/1 winner) in the 2.20 Uttoxeter. Wish I did a double! Major Cadeaux should have been too good for the 2.40 Hamilton, but finished only third! I also backed Beckermet (second at 10/1), which has been underperforming hugely of late. Although Burnwynd Boy had a chance on its best form, I was not surprised that it did not figure in the places, as I think the objective is a big handicap (watch for it soon). System bet Bet Noir 14/1 second in the 3.00 Plumpton. Alfie Noakes (above)did not show too much, but I feel can win a race at this level. System bet Sabander Bleue 4/1 third in the 3.10 Hamilton. Decimus Meridius looked like getting in the picture until fading. Could be worth a bet in the future. I had Fool's Wildcat best in for the 3.20 Uttoxter, finishing third at 33/1. Will win a race soon, whether in Britain or Ireland. Typically the other two best in, Inner Voice and Go Free, were not sighted. With the 3.30 Plumpton reduced to seven runners, I was not surprised that Pepporoni Pete finished only third, running on at the end. Must win a bigger race soon! Jack Junior was thrown in for the 3.40 Hamilton, but was running beyond its normal distance. Will win a race soon. Cold Quest is another running below its best form. Gan Eagla (above) was ridden like a dervish in the 4.00 Plumpton, finishing only third at 5/1. Can do much better soon. I have tipped the winner Jafaru previously. Marsam should at least have been third in the 3.50 Uttoxeter, and will do better soon. Hindu Kush (above) was thrown in for the 4.10 Hamilton, and typically finished last. It did run on a bit at the end, but evidently needs further. Chookie Hamilton will be worth a bet again soon. Dere Lyn was last all the way in the 4.30 Plumpton, but must try soon. The Black Lion is also worth following very soon. Regal Lyric (above) 8/1 second in the 4.40 Hamilton. Must win a race soon. Fuel Cell (above) led almost all the way in the 4.20 Uttoxeter before dropping out. Must win a race soon. The same applies to Tawrific Laois. Fortunately I also had a small bet on my third choice, Woody Valentine, 12/1 winner. Kilrogan (above) 17/2 second in the 5.00 Uttoxeter. Fortunately I also got the tricast with Tayman (6/1 winner) and Treasury Counsel 11/1 third. Warpath (above) led most of the way in the 4.50 Uttoxeter before eventually finishing fifth. Will be worth a bet soon, along with Celtic Boy (third). Apache Dawn (above) 14/1 third in the 5.20 Uttoxeter. Was thrown in, and will probably win soon. Classic Fly was also well in, finishing second at 22/1. Marino Prince and Besi could be worth a bet soon. Not a bad day for selections, with a 10/1 winner and several places.

19th September: Today's best in: Resplendent Alpha (1.45 Newm), Fenners (2.00 Catt), Green Manalishi/Mastership) 2.05 Ayr, Kandidate/Bazergan (2.50 Newb), Wi Dud/Hitchens (3.10 Ayr), Lost Soldier Three/Pevensey (3.35 Catt), Baddam/Inchnadamph (3.40 Newm), Damika/Something (3.50 Ayr), Royal Power/Appalachian Trail (5.00 Ayr), H Harrison/Lytton (5.20 Catt), Silver Prelude/Handsome Cross (5.25 Newm), Aureate/Rayhani (5.35 Ayr). Posted at 12.37 p.m.
System bets Aquarian Spirit 5/1 second and Butch And Sundance 17/2 third in the 1.35 Ayr. Resplendent Alpha never showed in the 1.45 Newmarket. It is thrown in, but refuses to run a good race! System bet Craicattack 16/1 third in the 1.50 Newbury. Fenners finished only fourth in the 2.00 Catterick. That one and Bridgewater Boys will be worth a bet soon. Can do better. Green Manalishi (above) 16/1 third in the 2.05 Ayr with Mastership fourth at 22/1. Green Manalishi was thrown in on old form. I also backed Fullandby, which finished fifth at 33/1. System bet Lowther 28/1 second! Radiohead was disappointing in fourth for the top-rated horse in the 2.20 Newbury. Better over five furlongs? System bet Tropical Bachelor 85/40 second in the 2.30 Catterick. Saffron's Son, which I have tipped in the past, was the 7/1 winner. The top-rated Bigalo's Star never showed at all, so must be worth considering soon. The top-rated horses in the 2.35 Ayr were too bad to be true, including Beyond Desire, Hairspray and She's A Character. All must do better soon. Kandidate normally front-runs, but made no show at all in the 2.50 Newbury, nor did Bazergan. No wonder they were huge prices, but you can never tell with Clive Brittain's runners! Still, keep an eye on them for the future, as they are very well handicapped. Logic Way is also being laid out for something soon. System bet Sweet Lightning 7/1 third. Full Toss and Too Much Trouble were best in for the 3.00 Newmarket, but finished third and fourth in a close finish for the places. Wi Dud and Hitchens were never sighted in the 3.10 Ayr. Both must do better soon, Wi Dud perhaps over five furlongs. Pevensey (above) 13/2 winner of the 3.35 Catterick with Lost Soldier Three 17/2 third! And I got the tricast with Wicked Daze! Baddam (above) is thrown in for a race soon, but made only a token effort today in the 3.40 Newmarket. System bet Alanbrooke 5/2 second. Inchnadamph and Inchpast will be worth a bet soon. Damika contested the lead for a long time in the 3.50 Ayr, but with no recent form finished only fourth. Will run much better soon. Something will also run a good race soon. That man Fahey again with winner Harrison George (-36) (8/1)! Malt Or Mash was thrown in for the 4.15 Newmarket, but that seems to mean nothing! Finished fourth - ridiculous! Lady Sorcerer refuses to run a good race, but will do much better soon than in the 4.45 Catterick. Spirit Of Sharjah (fourth in the 4.50 Newmarket), is thrown in for a similar race when wanted. Did not run on fast enough today, but obviously was under orders not to. Isphahan will also be a system bet next time. Appalachian Trail (above) finished third at 25/1 in the 5.00 Ayr. Was cruising behind, but allowed itself to get beaten - that's the only way I can describe it! Royal Power is even more thrown in - was well there for a long way and must try soon.System bet Tenormore 16/1 winner of the 5.05 Listowel with Emerson Breeze 10/1 fourth. System bet Another Decree 20/1 third in the 5.20 Catterick. H Harrison and Lytton probably put each other off from making an effort. Silver Prelude was thrown in for the 5.25 Newmarket, blazed away in front, then packed up. Will be a system bet next time, and will win if wanted. Similarly Handsome Cross must run better soon. I have tipped up Amanda Carter previously and it won today at 6/1 in the 5.35 Ayr. Aureate was thrown in and will be a system bet next time. Rayhani made ground around the outside, then tailed right off, but is also very well in. System bet Dazzling Light 18/1 third. I think I might just as well have selected Fahey runners today! Well, I did give a winner and four good places, but not as good as I hoped! I sometimes wonder whether doing all that research is really worth all the hassle, but when that good priced winner or place turns up, it does bring satisfaction. Often, though, just backing system bets brings better returns. All About You should be worth a bet soon, along with Advertise. Previous winner Obe Brave was thrown in for the 6.20 Wolverhampton, but they like to add a bit of variety by finishing third! How few horses actually win when they should! It's a constant pattern.

18th September: Top-rated for today: Maison Brillet/Little Perisher (2.55 Ayr), Tariq (3.55 Newb), Burnwynd Boy/Bond City (4.05 Ayr), Maxwil (4.30 Newb), Blue Tomato/Northern Fling (4.40 Ayr), Coeur De Lionne (5.05 Newb), Hey Up Dad/Dean Iarracht (5.15 Ayr), Brunette (5.25 Newm), Let's Roll (5.45 Ayr). Posted at 1.20 p.m.
Consider Yourself made ground on the outside in the 2.30 Newmarket, but did not go through with its effort. Might be worth a bet over further than one mile shortly. Maison Brillet (above) was hampered and hit the rail at halfway, but I don't think it was intended for today. Still well-handicapped and should show before long (system bet next time), together with Little Perisher (system bet again). System bet Mister Mannanan 15/8 winner of the 3.30 Ayr. Should have put Puff for the forecast, as probably more scope for improvement than Skylla. On ratings Jira should have won the 3.40 Newmarket, but finished only third. At 6/1 it was a big price - too big? Will probably win another race soon. Tariq (above) never got into the race in the 3.55 Newbury, and I would imagine the jockey had no intention of doing so. Must be better than that when wanted. I only picked it because its form looked so bad, and that is usually when they perform! Burnwynd Boy, system bet (above) was thrown in for the 4.05 Ayr, but, after leading all the way, got pipped into third place at 40/1! I suspect they only wanted third place (it had all duck's eggs previously), but it will win soon. Still, a good each-way tip! Keep an eye on Bond City (again) and Vhujon soon. Baldemar (18/1 winner) was the last of the Fahey runners I would have picked, so you can never tell! No money for Maxwil today (complete outsider) but is well in on old form and should make a better showing soon. Humble Opinion is another that should be watched for a better run soon. I changed my mind on Guto (16/1 winner), thrown in but out of the handicap, in the 4.40 Ayr (I put it up earlier if you read my tips). The reason I changed my mind was that Kelly Harrison normally rides it, and she was at Ayr today, but was not on it (but she was on Rothesay Dancer, which probably had first claim!) I didn't notice that she was riding in the race until afterwards. Silly me! Blue Tomato and Northern Fling must win again soon. System bet Hypnosis 20/1 third. Coeur De Lionne was thrown in for the 5.05 Newbury, but ran a poor race. Is still due again soon. I also fancied Benfleet Boy, which finished second at 11/2. Thought I was going to get the tricast at one point! System bet Pokfulham 10/1 winner of the 5.15 Ayr (and it was ridden by Kelly Harrison!). I've been stitched up today! Hey Up Dad (above) came up hacking, but did not go through with it. Will run much better soon. I picked the wrong Hannon horse for the 5.25 Newmarket in Brunette. His other one, First Cat, finished second. I think there is a race in Brunette, however (came up well, then dropped out). Will still be a system bet next time. -240 figures are very confusing, because they can be a system bet, but can leave the option open for next time also. Number One Guy may also be worth a bet soon too. Well, apart from one good each-way, the rest were rubbish today, I'm afraid. Must do better again soon (groan!). I liked the look of the form figures (see my system) of the Irish runner, Ecole D'Art (25/1 winner) in the 5.45 Ayr, but didn't back it. Thornton's other runner, Danzatrice (8/1 second) ran better than Let's Roll, (thrown in) which did make progress towards the end of the race. Sphinx could be worth a bet soon. A disappointing lot of selections today! At least the evening brought better fortune, relatively speaking. My successful tip of a couple of occasions, Peper Harow, 18/1 second in the 6.50 Wolverhampton. Still well in when wanted again, and beaten only by the progressive Blue Noodles tonight. Enhancing may be worth a bet soon. Motivational (eighth in the 7.20 Wolverhampton) could also be worth a bet soon. System bet Chief Exec 10/1 second in the 7.50 Wolverhampton. Follow The Flag is tipped for an early success. Bid For Glory (third), By Command and Dubburg were three horses that should have done better in the
