Evening sportsfans!! its champions day at ascot tomorrow & we have a full preview of all the group races on the card which promises to be a belting days racing!!
1.45 Qipco british champions long distance cup 2m Group 3
the stayers get the ball rolling headed at the front of the market by the royal runner estimate who has obvious chances after winning the gold cup on her last start. she beat simenon a neck that day but the godolphin horse ahzeemah beat the same rival a head in the lonsdale cup off level weights. at ascot simenon gave estimate 5lbs where as tomorrow ahzeemah only has to give her 3lbs so i think the godolphin horse has to be the value e/w play here. hes two from three here at ascot & has done nothing but improve since stepped up in trip & there could well still be plenty more to come from the progressive 4yo.
selection: AHZEEMAH e/w 8/1 bet365
2.20 Qipco british champions sprint 6f Group 2
i'm not so sure this is a vintage renewal to be honest & last years winner maarek has obvious claims after coming back to form over shorter trips recently but he needs a real strong pace to run at & i don't think he'll get that here but the problem is the rest are bordering on top handicappers & pattern race performers without being any outstanding performers amongst them although the 3yo viztoria is still unexposed & could run well. i think i'll take a chance with hawkeyethenoo though who was second here last year & has some decent placed form at the top level & he won't mind some give underfoot either. not a strong selection by any means but he will out run his price thats for sure.
selection: HAWKEYETHENOO e/w 14/1 skybet
2.55 Qipco british champions fillies & mares 1m 4f Group 1
the group one action kicks off with the ladies taking centre stage but its another race that i think has seen classier renewals if i'm really honest. oaks winner talent is the class act who ran a blinder when second in the leger & seems very happy on a soft surface so has to be respected & she holds the lark on there running at epsom. hot snap looked a superstar when winning the nell gwynn in striking fashion back in april but things haven't quite fell for her since & the jury's still out on her. waila was turned over at royal ascot but got back on track in no uncertain terms when dropped in grade to take a listed contest with minimal fuss but that was a poor race & she'll need to step up a bit to win this. the one i like however is the german raider nymphea. she was very unlucky when last raiding the uk but the form is solid with the third placed filly coming out since & winning the group 1 pretty polly stakes over at the curragh whilst she was taken back to germany to record a G1 success at hoppegarten. her action looks like she'll be far better suited with some give & her pedigree suggests she'll improve with time & looks a solid e/w play here.
selection: NYMPHEA e/w 12/1 corals
3.30 Queen elizabeth II stakes 1m Group 1 (Qipco british champions mile)
the group ones come thick & fast here and this looks like the race of the day to me. the 3yo's are headed by guineas winner dawn approach but he looked a tired horse last time out to me over in france & they might have gone to well once to often with him now. maxios looks like heading the older generation up but on his only venture to the uk he was slammed by al kazeem in the prince of wales stakes & whilst i accept that was on quick ground he looks far more at home on french soil at the minute. a few good judges whos opinion i respect have given top notch tonto a shout but i just can't see it if i'm really honest. soft falling rain & elusive kate can enter calculations on there best form but kingsbarns your guess is as good as mine after his re-appearance went pear shaped but if he gets involved here it will be the training performance of the decade by aiden o'brien. the horse we'll plump for though is the richard hannon trained olympic glory purely for the fact that everytime i look at his form his short head second behind moonlight cloud at deauville sticks out a mile & with intello & declaration of war in behind that is pretty much the best form on offer here. the first time blinkers are an unknown but connections are shrewd enough to know what there doing & whilst he has ground to make up on maxios on there run last time out theres no gaurantee the french raider will reproduce that run on foreign soil.
selection: OLYMPIC GLORY e/w 5/1 stan james
4.05 Qipco champion stakes 1m 2f Group 1
this race revolves around wether cirrus des aigles still has the ability he showed when running frankel to less than 2l in this race last year. on that line of form farhh can't beat him but this is a year later..cirrus' legs are a year older & hes needed to have his sights lowered this year in order to get on the scoresheet. whilst i wouldn't want to lay him as his record on a soft surface is immense i think i may have a decent e/w bet on morandi in this. hes ran in some decent races this year & his second behind intello in the french derby is pretty decent form following that rivals cracking run in the arc. he'll love the conditions & is still very much unexposed & his younger legs might just give him the edge here.
selection: MORANDI e/w 16/1 skybet
an e/w lucky 31 would be nice..
many thanks for taking the time to read my blog & as always i wish you the best of luck with whatever you decide for your money tomorrow & happy punting!! :-)

Evening sportsfans!! the normal beginning of the week low grade if competitive stuff knocking around so hopefully we can find a few winners lurking around...
2pts e/w WHITECREST 5.10 brighton (nap) 7/1 bet365
comes here a pound below his last winning mark over C&D in alot better race than this. his course record of 2-2-2-1-2 speaks for itself & the the more rain that falls the better for him.
1pt e/w CHASIN RAINBOWS 3.40 brighton (nb) 7/1 bet365
another that won't mind the rain & whilst hes 3lb above his last turf winning mark he has won off this mark on the a/w.
1pt e/w HAMIS AL BIN 4.40 brighton 8/1 skybet
this is a very poor race that really won't take alot of winning & now hes fallen to a winning mark over C&D he should be thereabouts at the finish.
e/w trixie (2pts in total)

Evening sportsfans!! competitive stuff on offer tomorrow to be fair & its not the worse days racing you'll ever see on a monday. all we need to do is find a couple of winners & it should be a good day!!
2pts e/w ALEJANDRO 4.50 musselburgh (nap) 12/1 bet365
from four visits here hes returned two wins & two places and the form of his run behind magic city has since been boosted but its his last win that interests me, in behind that day where the likes of laffan & silver rime (both come out & won) along with frog hollow & rasaman who have also placed in competitive races since. he clearly loves it here & whilst he likes to get on with things theres an awful lot of pace on by the looks of things so hopefully he'll let them get on with it & get a nice toe in as i wouldn't want to be in a speed duel early on to be honest.
1pt e/w THE NIFTY FOX 4.20 musselburgh (nb) 16/1 paddypower
has fallen to his last winning mark which was in a better race than this to be honest & he certainly won't mind any rain.
1pt e/w DISTANT SUN 2.10 musselburgh 25/1 bet365
C&D scorer who now looks very well handicapped having fallen 7lb below his last winning mark. didn't stay the 6f last time out but did show a bit more on his penultimate start when a running on 2l fifth behind pull the pin & the booking of david bergin is interesting as i think he could have rode a few in this race.
e/w trixie (2pts in total)
the #stealingaliving league will return next sunday...

Evening sportsfans!! hopefully a couple of days break has freshened things up a bit & hopefully we can back to winning ways again tomorrow..
1pt e/w NIGHT TRADE 2.40 ayr (nap) 16/1 bet365
the old boy has been running well recently without alot of luck & he was only undone by a couple of improving 3yo's last time out. hes now slipped 3lb below his last winning turf mark & interestingly has only ever ran twice in C6 contests.. resulting in two wins!!
1pt e/w ORWELLIAN 3.10 ayr (nb) 11/1 bet365
C&D winner who has also dropped a couple of pound below his last winning mark. seems to have been campaigned at the wrong trip so far this term in order to get his mark down & he showed alot more on his last start when back at 6f & can make his presence felt here.
1pt e/w ANOTHER FOR JOE 4.40 12/1 bet365
gets a massive weight pull with silver rime on there running here in august & whilst you do have to cherry pick his form slightly he goes well with some cut underneath & has been placed in the grade off higher marks.
1pt e/w CLUMBER PLACE 5.10 12/1 bet365
another who will relish some give underfoot & is re-united with graham lee who has a win & two places on her from four starts & seems to be the go to guy when they fancy there chances.

2pts e/w GRAN MAESTRO 5.00 catterick (nap) 7/1 bet365
has been thereabouts in better races than this recently & goes particularly well for an apprentice so jason harts claim can make the difference here.
1pt e/w AMIR PASHA 4.30 catterick (nb) 13/2 bet victor
has dropped just a pound above his last winning mark & this really isn't a great race & won't take much winning to be honest.
0.5pt e/w double

Evening sportsfans!! well not the greatest cards tomorrow on the turf & we have competitive if low grade stuff at wolverhampton on the polytrack but hopefully we can find a winner or two..
1pt e/w SMALLJOHN 2.30 wolves (nap) 12/1 bet365
tom eaves returns to the saddle & it also cioncides with him dropping back into a C5 for the first time since his last win. hes now dropped 3lb below his last winning mark & is a multiple C&D winner. hes got a cracking draw in 4 with no pace on his inside & he should be able to get on the front end early then its catch me if you can time!!
1pt e/w ALS MEMORY 4.30 wolves (nb) 10/1 bet365
has slipped to a winning a/w mark & has been running in races alot better than this recently. his from at the early part of the year is very strong in the context of this race.
1pt e/w STEEL CITY BOY 4.00 wolves 16/1 bet365
good old annie oakley takes the ride on the old stager & whilst he is a plodder he does win his share of these low grade affairs & after the handicapper has dropped him a couple of pounds following his running on third behind the improving 3yo father fred last time he now finds himself 2lb below his last winning mark & tomorrow could well be his turn.
1pt e/w ROYAL ETIQUETTE 5.00 wolves 7/1 bet365
has now dropped to mark he can get competitive off & the handy pound the handicapper has taken off enables him to sneak into this very weak 0-60 contest.
e/w yankee (2pts in total)

Evening sportsfans!! a cracking days racing in store tomorrow following todays drivel & hopefully we can find a few winners.
2pts e/w SOUL 3.15 ascot (nap) 7/1 bet victor
takes a handy drop in grade after a fine run in the betfred sprint cup which will have put him spot on for this. his two best career runs have come here at ascot with some give underfoot when only a length behind black caviar in last years diamond jubilee stakes & when touched off in a G3 giving weight away to some handy rivals.
silvestre de sousa takes back over the steering & he gets on particularly well with him.
1pt e/w PASTORAL PLAYER (nb) 14/1 bet victor
another one taking a drop in grade here after being campaigned at group level for the last 12 months. he won this event back in 2011 & i'm convinced hes far better in these big field handicaps with an end to end gallop rather than small field tactical races as he needs to come with a strong late rattle & everything should be to his liking here.
some quality racing across the uk tomorrow with some very nice pattern races at all three turf meetings along with the big sales races at newmarket should make for a cracking day & with a bit of luck a change of fortune as well!!
many thanks for taking the time to read my blog & as always i wish you the best of luck with whatever you decide for your money tomorrow & happy punting!

many thanks for taking the time to read my blog & as always i wish you the best of luck with whatever you decide for your money tomorrow & happy punting!

Evening sportsfans!! the nap netted us a little bit of place money again nothing to get excited about to be really honest. if i'm really honest tomorrow doesn't really excite me either but we'll see if we can find a couple of winners..
2pts win LEAN ON PETE 8.55 wolves (nap) 4/1 bet365
never been out of the first four here at wolves & has been running well recently off this mark in races far better than this one .
1pt e/w LORD BUFFHEAD 5.55 wolves (nb) 8/1 bet365
he can make the most of the switch to polytrack & this is another very weak race that won't take alot of winning.
1pt win double
ascot selections will be added tomorrow morning..
many thanks for following..

Evening sporstfans!! well another day & another nap that was a non runner.. i really am starting to think the gods are against me after getting 20/1 last night & it being backed into 9/1 overnight. i suppose things are sent to try us so onwards we march..
2pts e/w POWERFUL PIERRE 6.10 wolves (nap) 6/1 bet365
has run well here on his last two visits here & his young jockeys claim can tip the scales in his favour tomorrow.
1pt e/w NIGHT TRADE 7.10 wolves (nb) 11/1 bet365
another one who can benefit from his apprentices claim here & looks on a dangerous mark.
1pt e/w SPINNING RIDGE 8.40 wolves 10/1 bet365
this is an awful race but from the plum draw the old boy could well give them a run for there money on these terms & the race really won't take alot of winning at all..
e/w trixie (2pts in total)

Evening sportsfans!! a slight improvement today with the NB getting placed & then after waiting all day the nap was withdrawn at the start. i cant complain though as the horse got very upset in the stalls & looked quite distressed for a while but i think he was ok in the end & lives to fight another day :-)
1pt e/w SOLEMN 3.00 nottingham (nap) 20/1 bet365
we tipped him up on his penultimate start & he did show alot more than in recent times that day & hes down another 2lb but hes in last chance saloon with us now.. but on a track where he is 2/2 over C&D he has to be worth one last throw of the dice here.
1pt e/w RONDEAU 9.10 kempton (nb) 12/1 bet365
is now ridiculously well handicapped being only a couple of pound above his career low mark. this will be by far the weakest race he has contested for a while & hopefully the drop into the basement grade can do the trick.
1pt e/w DIPLOMATIC 7.10 kempton 12/1 bet365
this is another one that has been competitive in alot stronger races than this in the not to distant past & with the handicapper relenting slightly he sneaks into this weak 0-60 affair & must have a chance against this moderate bunch.
