Morning sportsfans!! well this is a bit odd but i find myself at a loose end this morning so i thought i'd put up saturdays selections early..

2pt e/w GO GO GREEN 2.25 MUSSELBURGH (nap)

with the start of the turf flat season we do have to take fitness on trust some what but the jim goldie stable are masters at getting every ounce of ability out of there inmates.at first sight this lad looks like he's at the end of his career being campaigned in sellers recently but don't let that fool you.when he won his last race (a seller) he beat an 82 rated rival giving it 10lbs & the goldie stable don't keep them going for the sake of it.it was only last summer he was winning here off a 5lb higher mark over C&D and at a nice price he looks cracking value to me.

1pt e/w CRIMSON KNOT 5.15 MUSSELBURGH (nb)

Alan berrys mare loves it here at the scottish track & can add another victory to her C.V. she likes a bit of give underfoot but wouldn't want it hock deep to be honest & her young jockeys claim is also an added bonus.

1pt e/w SPINATRIX 1.20 DONCASTER 

this mare ran some absolute belters towards the end of last year & she also goes well fresh which is a big plus.the Dods stable had a winner on the a/w at southwell recently & hopefully she can get them off the mark on turf.

1pt e/w BRAE HILL 3.05 DONCASTER

last years winner loves this straight mile at donny & must have a cracking e/w chance in saturdays race.second the year before he goes for third time lucky in the race & now he's dropped to last years winning mark it will take a very game horse to stop him.

there aren't any prices up yet for saturdays racing so i will add those later on today.the blog will now concentrate on flat racing but i will be doing an aintree special next week that will bring the curtain down on the NH campaign.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!! well we certainly didn't cover ourselves in glory today to be fair but hopefully tomorrow can see a return to happier times..

2pts e/w MAZIJ 2.40 WOLVES (nap) 6/1 bet365

if this lad slips any further down the handicap he'll fall out the bottom!!lol it was only just over a year ago he was winning off marks around a stone higher & ran a blinder behind activate last time up over C&D.a repeat will see him go very close here.

2pts e/w CALL ME HANDSOME 5.25 WOLVES (nb) 7/1 bet365

this veteran absolutly loves it here & has racked up 11 course wins over the years.now in the twilight of his career hes still capable of producing good form at the west midlands venue & also goes particularly well for an apprentice.

i've only covered the wolverhampton card so far but i will add further selections & the days lays later this evening.

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!! well didn't we do well today!! the NB landed at a tasty 7/2 advised last night & the NAP running a close second to land the each-way money.hopefully the good run can continue...

1pt e/w BLUE DEER 2.00 LINGFIELD (nap) 20/1 paddypower

the betting on this race i don't get to be honest.this lads got a length to find with tomorrows favourite patavium prince on there running over C&D in december & a 4lb turn around can see him do just that.the 20/1 available at the minute looks an absolute gift to me & i'll be getting stuck into this for sure.it seems the stable have been playing around over different trips to work his mark down.he is still a couple of pound above his last winning mark but hes ran some blinders off 62 most notably when touched off by commanche towards the end of last year.

2pt e/w RYLEE MOOCH 4.05 LINGFIELD (nb) 11/2 betvictor

another one whos trickling down the handicap slowly but surely & hes now only a pound higher than when winning a C4 0-85 in december & his record over 5f here at lingfield reads.. 1-2-3-1

1pt e/w DEMOISELLE BOND 20/1 bet365

this lad has dropped below his last winning mark but i must be honest the draw worries me slightly tomorrow.i'm hoping he has enough early toe to get across & lead them a merry dance & at a nice price is well worth the chance in my opinion.

1pt e/w RESTLESS BAY 4.20 SOUTHWELL 14/1 paddypower

this is another well handicapped sort but the surface has to be taken on trust.being by elusive city he should go on it & whilst i wouldn't normally take the chance he now looks so well handicapped it would be folly not to.

well today netted us a 25pt haul from our advised bets & hopefully we can carry on the good work tomorrow & really finish the month off in style.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!! well its good to be back after the short break owing to the weather but hopefully we can return with a bang & a couple of decent priced winners!! :-)

3pts e/w RAMBO WILL 3.30 SOUTHWELL (nap) 6/1 bet365

i backed this last time out but the 6f trip just stretched his stamina that bit to far after being bang there at the furlong marker.the drop down to the minumum trip & the fact the handicapper has dropped him a couple of pounds should work the oracle & see him back in the winners enclosure here.hes ran well here on more than one occasion off marks alot higher than this in the past & while his best days may well be behind him now he has dropped to 5lb below his last winning mark.

4pt win LEXINGTON BOY 4.30 SOUTHWELL (nb) 7/2 ladbrks

richard faheys gelding takes a steep drop in class here & looks primed to go in.hes had a recent spell over hurdles & he didnt take to it in all fairness but being by high chaparral the surface shouldn't hold any fears & he has won here in the past.forecast favourite JACOBS SUN will have to win this off a career high mark in the highest grade hes ever won off & i'll be happy to LAY him tomorrow.

i will be adding more selections as the evening goes on & i work my way through the cards!! many thanks for following & please see my timeline for further tweet updates.

Evening sportsfans!! well finally the turf flat season begins.. all be it if it passes an early morning inspection as there is severe snow forecast but everythings crossed for the go ahead!! :-/

2pts e/w DOCOFTHEBAY 5.20 DONCASTER (nap) 7/1 bv

the flat turf may well have started but we're sticking with an old friend from the a/w for the nap tomorrow.the switch to turf means he can race off a 6lb lower mark than on the sand & now see's him 2lb below his last winning mark.the fact he hasn't raced on grass since last year may have been a cunning tactic from this shrewd stable & he also won't mind any give underfoot.

1pt e/w BOSTON BLUE 3.00 DONCASTER (nb) 10/1 pp

not normally a race i'd look to get involved in to be honest but tony carrols charge is that well handicapped i couldn't resist.whilst his a/w mark has slipped he still remains on his last winning turf mark & can get his head in front tomorrow.he won over hurdles at the beginning off march to show he's in rude health & seemed to like it on town moore.he's also won on heavy ground over the jumps so forecast conditions should be right up his street here.

1pt e/w PICENO 4.10 DONCASTER 12/1 bet365

whilst this lad will need to pull out all the stops to win i think he could have a fitness edge on most of his rivals here.he's ran well off marks higher than this on the a/w & whilst its always dangerous to compare the two hes got a decent draw & won't mind the going so he's certainly in with a shout of a place at least.

hopefully the meeting can get the go ahead tomorrow morning & if i'm honest the forecast isn't great but we can only hope.the brockelsby is the seasons traditional curtain raiser & that gets us underway at 1.35 tomorrow.at first sight on breeding they look a pretty moderate bunch but hopefully something will surprise us  although its not always full of quality to be fair.the conditions event is quite interesting with the re-appearance of the charlie hills trained model pupil who i know the stable have got one eye on cup races this season so he'll be worth keeping an eye on.

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 guys!! :-)
