I have been a member of Olbg since September 2009 and must say it's one of the most user friendly sites out there. The fact all tips, comments, stats & performances are recorded and available for inspection it really does mean you have to bring a professional approach. You are judged on what you say and do, so I will do my best to help others along the way in our journey to prise some profit out of those miserly bookies. I am a genuine horse racing enthusiast and have spent (or some might say wasted!) over 30 years as an avid punter and the beauty is I am still learning. This site definitely helps as the information and knowledge of other members available is excellent.....and free. My other hobbies are photography and cricket, I'm the current Skipper of Seveno CC a south London friendly cricket team and we're always looking for new players. I'm also a keen photographer and have captured some great memories especially from Cheltenham and if any photos catch your eye, please get in touch. For me, all roads from about November lead to the greatest sporting event of the year, The Cheltenham Festival and I have been going nearly every year since 1998. The memories, stories, good punts & bad will make a great book one day! I always look for value and hopefully a few juicy punts click on here. I would say horse racing is my game but I do like the odd dabble in the golf, boxing & cricket markets. Enjoy the ride!

Is another sort I like as has run well in big field handicaps before and will love decent ground. Looks well handicapped to me as is 5lb lower than when second last February to this year's Ryanair runner up Heart Wood at Leopardstown. Travels well and as stated before big fields don't phase him either. Ran well at Cheltenham last time I the Plate fading late on but is 4lb lower now and has better ground too so should relish conditions and run a big race. Has been well backed last couple of days and is a cracking each way punt here.

Is a horse I've liked since seeing her win a maiden hurdle at Cork on second run and she appreciated the good ground that day so if it dries out a bit I'd fancy her strongly here. She wasn't disgraced in the Grade 3 Monksfield on next start behind The Yellow Clay and that one has is a grade 1 winner since and made my new favourite horse The New Lion pull out all the stops at Cheltenham. Has been running over further and on ground softer so drop in trip and getting better ground can see her run well in this. Open race but is an unexposed sort with conditions to suit and looks a fair each way play today.

Won a maiden hurdle in good style by 10l from a sort who won it's next two starts and followed that up with a fair run in a Grade 2 behind Irancy next time. Irsncy has just bolted up in the Grade 1 novice hurdle here at Punchestown on day 1 so all in all my fancy's form is stacking up well. Goodish ground seemed to suit when winning at Down Royal and the drier the ground gets the better I like his chances. Step up in trip a slight concern but is a 3m point to point winner again on good ground so should stay and will relish conditions. Definite each way player today.

Strong stayer who was decent over hurdles and his highlight was being a Grade 1 Albert Bartlett winner. Was only 4l behind Lecky Watson at Cheltenham in the Brown Advisory and I'm still not convinced that one is a copper bottomed stayer so expect Stellar Story to turn the horn around given yard are in slightly better form now. Won the Grade 2 Florida Pearl here on chase debut and the few extra yards now can only help draw out his stamina even more. Yielding going would suit but hopefully can make this a proper test and could be hard to pass alternatively if a strong pace is on could stay on best of all, either way is too big a price for one with his form in the book.

Chase debut was very impressive at Kempton and the the fact all three opponents Leave of Absence, Gidleigh Park and The Four Sixes have won decent races since suggest form is strong. Been disappointing since on soft ground but I'm expecting better here after a short break. Is better fresh anyway and has won a few times off breaks and was a Greatwood Hurdle and a Betfair Hurdle winner over the smaller obstacles so has a touch of class. Doesn't look the deepest race to me despite the numbers and this one had more than enough back form to think he is too big a price here.

I like Timmy Tuesday who ran a blinder last time over slightly further in a top handicap at Aintree but that also brings this one into the equation. Ran a cracker to be a 6l second to Timmy Tuesday at Down Royal last time and by my maths is 12lb better off here. The drying ground is another plus and this trip is perfect as has won around 2m4f in the past. Lightly raced and on the back of a career best looks on a fair mark to me. Booking of JJ Slevin catches the eye too. If you fancy Timmy Tuesday on this Tuesday you have to have a saver on this unexposed sort. Yard a bit hit and miss lately but have had a few winners in recent weeks and with the extra places on offer here this one looks value with trip and ground possibly bringing more improvement.

Trainer 6-23 on the all weather this year with his 3yo's and this one should improve massively with another winter on his back. Well bred and dam has produced 6 winners from 9 foals including Group 1 winners St Mark's Basilica and Magna Grecia. Yard in cracking form anyway and this one will want further in time but has a great chance here in a not very deep race.

Made a pleasing handicap debut at Newcastle and was just a nose behind subsequent winner Frankie's Dream so form looks strong enough. Has two half brothers that have both won on turf and on the all weather over trips 6 1/2f to 1m6f on the flat so should stay 7f too. Yard in decent form as well as are 6-35 in the past fortnight. Should appreciate step up in trip and handle good to firm ground so with proven fitness too has an edge over plenty of these. Looks an each way banker here.

Is steadily on the upgrade and is a Listed, Group 2 and Group 3 winner who looks ready to make the step up to the top table. Has the form to win this too as had Horizon Dore 2 1/2l behind last time over nigh on this C&D and that one was fifth in this race last year and holds Royal Rhyme too so Map Of Stars already looks good enough for this. Showed a lovely turn of foot last time and won't mind the ground.

Interesting connections persevered with this one as a 4yo and despite giving weight away to all looks one to follow here. Made a pleasing belated debut at Yarmouth staying on well and the third has won well since so form could be decent.

Was a surprise winner of this last year but that looked a strong event and though hasn't set the world alight this year is slipping to a good mark.

I was at Sandown when this one did everything wrong but still ran a blinder to be second to Handstands shaping as if a stiffer test would suit. I told anyone who'd listen this is the Bet365 winner and owner had that lovely grey Lacdoudal to win that too. Shaped at Cheltenham in the NH Chase as if still in great form and we know that race has thrown up the Scottish and Irish National winners since. Bowen and Murphy on fire and deserve to finish the season with another big pot. I've got some tidy punts rolling in to this fella and though will get outpaced at some stage will be the strongest finisher once he sees that hill. Beat Hoe Joly Smoke at Uttoxeter and that one is a dual Sandown winner since too so all form stacking up and a confident pick for me. 16's voucher burning a big hole in my pocket!!!! Come on Sean!

Be rude not to have a saver on this one who I really liked in the NH Chase but was never really in the race and is better than that to my eye. Will relish this test and the form of that Cheltenham marathon is proving very profitable for me. Plenty of Mullins horses come here as an afterthought but this one has surely been aimed at this since that Cheltenham effort. Neil Mulholland often leaves Sandown with a marathon winner and good ground will suit this one more than most. Lightly raced for an 8yo and only 3lb higher than last win. Goes well at Cheltenham so though was only 5th here once over hurdles should relish this trip and hill. I fancied him strongly last time and he was well backed so have to save on him given I fancy Resplendent Grey so strongly . Was only a neck between them then and is a nice EW price.

It was heart in mouth time when this one made a howler at Cheltenham but he still showed his class to be a battling second to Marine Nationale who had more than a helping hand from someone more powerful than a jockey!!! Is unbeaten away from Cheltenham and is chasing a fourth win in this and must be the bet here. Plenty looked over the hill, might prefer softer going or out of their depth so come on Jonbon let's go. Won so well at Aintree last time Cheltenham blip is forgotten and I love course form here so as he's unbeaten around the track looks a good thing to me.

Won here over hurdles but has proven even better over fences and is 221 over the bigger obstacles at this track including a very taking C&D win last time. 5lb higher and up in grade but Sean Bowen has got a fine tune out of this fella since taking the reins and getting weight from all has to be feared here. Good ground holds no fear either and the Champion Jockey deserves a winner today and though I like his later mount strongly this is obviously his best chance. Proven over track and on good ground so will relish this hill. Massive chance as still looks well handicapped.

Keeps creeping up the weights but keeps running well and is very consistent. Trainer has worked the oracle with this fella since taking over and I like his chances here. Only 2lb higher than last second at Ayr and I thought then better ground would of suited. Will get that today and though drop in trip would be a slight concern this stiff track still takes some getting and he did win over it over hurdles. With the ground coming right to my eye is definitely a player here. EW saver.

Only made hurdles debut in January but had rattled off a hatrick after making a debut 5th at Huntingdon and looks the least exposed in here. Good ground suits and holds a few of these and though reopposing stablemate John Barbour is unexposed too this one is on the upgrade rapidly. Stiff track a slight concern but has won over further and comes here on a real roll. Definite player here and can go close.

Won really well on seasonal debut in the Doncaster mile and trainer nominated this target straight away to try and follow Charyn last year who completed the double. Very consistent and started last season with a smart second in the French 2000 Guineas. Only had a head to spare over the French raider Alcantor then but that one had the benefit of a run so I'd expect my fancy to beat that one again as had a start this season.

See The Fire would just hold the edge on form as on a line through Economics has the beating of Almaqam but might want a faster surface here if there is any dig in the ground it might suit my fancy better. Almaqam was a horse I loved last year as he looks a rangy sort who'd make a lovely 4yo. He won his maiden before winning a Listed event here over a mile. Found Group 1 company too taxing but ran two crackers in Group 2 company in France. Finished the season with a head defeat at Longchamp and we know handles this track, should stay and won't mind any soft in the going. If fit has a cracking chance.

Decent sort and though still a maiden can run well here as step up in trip looks sure to suit. Looked as if needed the run on reappearance as was too keen and it was inevitable he'd fade late on after using too much gas up early on first start for new yard. Ran well here in a maiden last July shaping as if an extra furlong would suit after finishing well enough over 7f. Pat Cosgrave only hit three winners at Epsom from 29 rides last year but returned a slight profit and is his only ride here today. Yard in fair form with 1 winner and five seconds from last dozen sent out. Each way squeak for me.

Green as grass when making seasonal appearance but handled Doncaster's galloping track and really impressed once headed as showed a willing attitude to battle back and only go down a head. Trainer, owner and jockey won this last year and though has to improve to trouble the best of these should relish this test today. Obviously stays and will handle the ground so could be over priced. Jockey rides this place well and was amazing to follow here last season as rode 13 winners from 33 rides at a whopping 39% strike rate leading to a plus £41.10 lsp. Must go well if coming on for second career start and will be fit enough.

Lightly raced for age but has decent form in the book and though only ran once last year was third in a good race at York off today's mark. Would of needed the run when making belated reappearance on the all weather at Newcastle but improved on that to win next time up at Wolverhampton. Ran well enough on return to the turf and should be spot on now here. Has won at Brighton and Goodwood so fair to say handles these quirky switch back undulating tracks which is always a bonus trying to find winners around here. Stiff enough mark but still unexposed and can go well.

The National Hunt Chase at Cheltenham has thrown up a couple of winners of this in the last ten years and though they were not the winner of that race it has been a good guide to this in the past. This year's renewal was carnage with many not completing but that shouldn't lessen the feeling that this one wasn't a worthy winner. The 1st,2nd and 5th of the Scottish National came out of the Cheltenham marathon and in Haiti Coleurs we could have seen the Irish National winner. Sean Bowen booked and he is flying with 6 winners from his last 7 mounts. This one raced prominently and kept out of trouble proving his stamina too at Cheltenham and if doing the same here looks a bombproof play here. Trainer is very confident and though price is skinny enough is a strong fancy to go close.

Any of those that raced in the NH Chase at Cheltenham behind Haiti Coleurs could of been the EW selection but this novice had always been on my radar and looks crying out for this step up in trip. Backed him for the Leinster National last time and he was lobbing along before unseating and novices do do well in this race. Trainer has won it twice too from just six runners and two of those placed as well so this would of been a plan. Was strong at the finish at Navan, the time before last and that takes some getting there so should stay this far. Sole hurdles victory doesn't do this strong traveller justice and he does look all over a staying chaser so with improvement to come is a live player here. Has run well at the track too so could go well off a low weight. Is also running off the same mark as when he may of been a National winner of some sort himself. Must go close.

Has been mixing it in fair novice company since making debut in a maiden hurdle in December behind the subsequent Albert Bartlett winner. Had finished second three times since including at Navan in February to a subsequent Aintree Grade 1 winner. Handled a big field last time giving the often maligned but smart Redemption Day most to do and pulled miles clear of the third then too. Definite player here and step back up in trip will suit too. Big shout to my eye as form in the book reads well and tongue tie worked well last time so if improving again has a major chance.

Has been keeping good company and improving my Ed fences backed up by two good seconds on last two starts. Beaten by Special Cadeau the time before last in a Beginners Chase and that one was thought good enough to tackle Grade 1 company at Aintree next time out. Good ground seemed to suit there too and should relish conditions today. Second to Aspire Tower last time reads well too and though looks on a stiff enough mark must be rated highly enough at home to tackle this company on raid to Sussex.

Caught the eye again last time when a staying on third over a trip too short on the level at the Curragh and will relish this heavy ground today. Has good course form too as was third here in a novice hurdle earlier in the year less than 4l behind the subsequent Fred Winter winner at Cheltenham trying to give him 5lb too. Up again in grade but would be shorter if coining from one of the big stables and looks a bombproof ew play here.

Really fancied this one this morning as want disgraced in the Martin Pipe at Cheltenham and will relish this return to a lower grade on decent ground. Chased home my new favourite horse The New Lion twice including in the Grade 1 Challow hurdle and looks to have a too chance here with conditions to suit. Trainer does well at the track and is 6-37 this season here but running at a little loss whereas Freddie Gordon is 6-30 at a 30% strike rate and a tidy +£10.45 level stakes profit.

Is a speedy sort who was precocious enough as a 2yo and won three of her first six starts and she seemed to love a stiff 5f on decent ground. Hasn't had those conditions since but has run well at Listed and Group 3 level since, mainly in France on softer ground. Dam was a Listed winning 2yo who managed to win as a 3yo so hopefully my fancy can do the same in a race 3yo's do well in, as that age group has won three of the last nine runnings of this.

Is a horse I've followed closely after doing me a big EW favour when hitting second in the Grade 1 Honeysuckle here last March at big odds and made Jade Dr Grugy work hard enough. That form continues to pay dividends as Arkle second Only By Night and recent Cheltenham winner Theatre Native were well beaten there. Unexposed sort and good course record reads 121 from three starts and she jumped well over fences last time to win a Listed event. Has to improve but getting 7lbs from most she looks well in. Only imponderable would be good ground but that doesn't look likely and she is a good bet here for me.

Shot up to a mark of 68 after those two wins last season and has looked in the grip of the handicapper but is now too well handicapped to ignore.

Was a massive eyecatcher here over C&D last Sunday when rattling home after not getting a clear run to nearly nab Only Spoofing and Knicks. Same mark here and hopefully will get a clearer run this time from a lower draw. Dual C&D winner and though hasn't won as many races as should of given is a talented horse, does go well here. Has won at the track on good to soft so won't mind any dig in the ground and with four places on offer looks a no brainer each way punt in this. You have to be careful putting too much faith in this one though, as does tend to find trouble, but clearly relishes a strongly run 5f and will get that again here.

I really fancied him last week at Ayr over hurdles but the ground probably went against him and as long as it doesn't get too soft today can run well. Likes the Scottish air as has won up in the Bonnie land a few times. Useful on the flat and shouldn't be undestimated as has won three times over this distance and was second in last year's Ebor too so trip coukd be tge key here. Yard in fair form and has an ew squeak as is only 4lb higher than last win on the level and can go well.

Was under the pump the whole way last time on seasonal debut over C&D after a tardy start but really caught the eye staying on late to nab third. Is probably better suited by a mile and is a dual course winner at this track over that trip. Paul Mulrennan back onboard and he is 1/1 on the horse and I like this improving sort who rattled off a hatrick towards the end of last year. Wouldn't want the ground too soft looking at best form but that might also make it a stiffer test of stamina and we know he stays a mile so all in all if coming on for seasonal reappearance looks to have a major chance if avoiding falling out of the stalls.

Third in this race last year and off the same mark today have to be interested in this French raider who had followed the same path as last season.

Yard in fair form at home (4 winner 4 placed last 15 sent out) and this one could have had a better draw this time around but must of been aimed at this race. Wore the first time cheek pieces in this race last year and hopefully can be delivered much later this time.

Is a horse I've always liked and stays much further than this trip so will want a strong pace to aim at here, but I reckon he'll get that with the likes of Penzance and Smart Hero who have made the running in the past. To be fair is still fairly unexposed on the all weather and is 2/3 on artificial surfaces and should relish this stiffer track. Caught my eye last time as had backed him and he never could land a blow under David Probert but did finish off well enough. Interesting jockey keeps the ride and he is in cracking form to boot (9-36 the past fortnight) . Drop in trip my only concern but they normally go a good lick on this day and a fast run competitive handicap looks right up his street. EW player for me.

Must of been laid out for this as hasn't run since January when edged out of it late on over course and distance by the classy reopposing Marshman. That one took an age to get past my fancy and may well do so again but Run Boy Run is 6lb better off and at the prices looks like the EW player. Is a course and distance winner as did win his maiden here last March and is still very much unexposed as a lightly raced 4yo. Draw could of been kinder but shouldn't be undestimated given good course form and is a nice price.

Was a narrow second in this last year and though only third last time at Wolverhampton behind the reopposing Symbol Of Light is 3lb better off here. Also should strip fitter and last run was first run since December and looks laid out for this. Rossa Ryan stays loyal when he could of ridden many others and off the same mark as last year looks a cracking punt today given proven track form. Same stall as last year and if Rossa can hold on to him a tad longer this time can nail these close home and make up for that short head defeat in this last season.

Ran a blinder in the Dawn Run at Cheltenham at a huge price when a staying on fifth and will enjoy stepping back up in trip here. Is a mare I've followed closely as many will know if following my picks, as came out of an Aintree bumper that has continued to work out well over hurdles. Had Jubilee Alpha behind at Cheltenham but is 5lb better off here, looks sure to be suited to the step back up in trip as did run well over 2m3f in the past and will love decent ground. Yard in fair form too as from a small sample have had a few winners from last dozen sent out. Looks a huge player in this as might just prefer underfoot conditions better than most.

Has shown good enough placed form over fences from three starts as has chased home the likes of Arkle runner up Only By Night, the decent Springt De La Mare and the fair sort Law Of Her Own and meets nothing here of that calibre. Have to take note when shrewd trainer sends one over and on handicap debut looks on a fair mark getting weight from the Mullins pair. Skips a valuable Listed event in Ireland to come here and as is by a King's Theatre mare is bred to relish decent ground and act around d Cheltenham. A hurdles winner last February before finding Grade 1 company too hot and looks ready to strike over fences after mixing it in good company.

Showed a great attitude to win last time out despite facing a right out challenge from the runner up and relished the stiff Newcastle finish and good ground so should handle this challenge today. Form has been well advertised too as the second and third have won since and the fifth has since finished second as well, a whopping 39 lengths clear of the third. Is a Listed runner up already over hurdles as well, as was second to Belfrina in January at Doncaster and that one has run well again since too. Sainte Lucie is respected dropping in grade but wouldn't want the ground too lively and I really like this one's chances. Yard still in good nick and have had a few winners from last dozen sent out so with conditions to suit might just have too much toe for these.
