I aim to make long-term profit and compile a shortlist of possible bets every day. These in themselves normally produce a profit month after month. I enhance this profit by focusing on value bets. My current stakes on selections posted are £50 per tip. My target is a minimum of 5pts profit per month, which is £3k profit per year. If in profit for 3 consecutive months, my stakes increase by 10%.

Lifetime Ambition

Daily Racing

50 WINNAP

@1.50

Lose

-50

Lifetime Ambition competed at a high level over fences and has won point-to-points this year in Ireland. The last run, when placed in the Foxhunters at Aintree, sets the clear standard in terms of recent form.

Germanic

50 WIN

@5.50

Lose

-50

Germanic makes a lot of appeal this evening, having run well last time when 5th at Leicester. It was only headed in the last 100 yards of that race, no doubt needing the race on seasonal return.

Eldrickjones

25 EWNOTEBest Odds Guaranteed SP 11.00 used instead of 8.00 takenBOG

@11.00

Win

300

With 4 places on offer, last year's winner Eldrickjones appeals as he is able to race off a lower mark than when winning this 12 months ago. This track can bring about the revival.

14:50 2:50 Newcastle

Sea Legend

Daily Racing

25 EW

@6.50

Lose

-50

Sea Legend has solid each-way claims, having shown a return to form for a new trainer last time out when 3rd here at Newcastle last month. The trainer and jockey do well at this track.

14:20 2:20 Leopardstown

Vespertilio

Daily Racing

50 WINNAP

@2.38

Lose

-50

Vespertilio is a class horse campaigned at the highest level and will appreciate both the drop in grade and this trip following a pleasing return when 2nd at Cork last month. The trip looked to be a tad on the short side.

10 May 2025

Roi De France

Daily Racing

25 EWNAP

@8.00

Lose

-50

With 5 places available, it is hard to see the smooth travelling Gosden trained Roi De France not being in th e shake up after a very good run on all weathers finals day when runner up to the progressive Storm Star.

The Foxes

Daily Racing

50 WINNAPNOTENon runners at 10.0 or more so no R4 deduction

@2.62

Win

The Foxes has consistently competed at a higher level than the opposition today and has outstanding claims of winning again with Oisin Murphy in the saddle.

Ali Shuffle

Daily Racing

50 WINNAPNOTENon runners at 10.0 or more so no R4 deduction

@1.91

Win

The key to success in Chester sprints is a low draw and the ability to break fast from that draw. Dual winner Ali Shuffle has shown early pace to win both starts and looks set to complete an early season hat trick.

Babouche

Daily Racing

50 WINNAP

@1.91

Lose

-50

The exciting Babouche has form of a higher level to this field, having already tasted success at Group 1 level. It will therefore be disappointing if the filly cannot take this Listed contest on seasonal return.

04 May 2025

15:35 3:35 Newmarket

Desert Flower

Daily Racing

50 WINNAP

@2.25

Win

Unbeaten as a 2 year old and very impressive on every start, Desert Flower has the best form and can complete the Guineas double for the Godolphin, Appleby and Buick team.

Calibos

Daily Racing

50 WINNB

@4.00

Lose

-50

Calibos can take this after producing a career best effort last time when 3rd at Wolverhampton shaping as though this extra trip will prove ideal.

14:20 2:20 Newmarket

Silver Sword

Daily Racing

25 EWNAP

@17.00

Lose

-50

Silver Sword has back class form good enough to be very competitive here and was given a poor ride last time by Jamie Spencer taking up a poor position and too far back at the cucial stage of the race.

02 May 2025

18:40 6:40 Punchestown

Constitution Hill

Daily Racing

50 WINNAP

@1.83

Lose

-50

Constitution Hill can bounce back from 2 unfortunate falls and prove that he is still the best 2m hurdler in GB & Ireland. The change of jockey could be just what is needed to revive the fortunes of this top rated superstar.

14:20 2:20 Newmarket

Cosmic Year

Daily Racing

50 WINNOTEBest Odds Guaranteed SP 2.50 used instead of 2.20 takenBOG

@2.50

Win

Cosmic Year is a3 year old who will rise throughn the ranks this season and has impressed on the track with 2 smooth wins. The selection would not have been out of place in tomorrow's 2,000 Guineas.

01 May 2025

16:50 4:50 Punchestown

Sixandahalf

Daily Racing

50 WINNAP

@1.62

Lose

-50

Sixandahalf was decent on the flat but can prove to be exceptional over hurdles. The mare followed up a Fairyhouse win with an excellent runner up finish in the Dawn Run at Cheltenham. That is a form of a different level to today's opposition.

21 April 2025

17:00 5:00 Fairyhouse

Bioluminescence

Daily Racing

25 EWNAP

@11.00

Lose

-50

With 6 places on offer, the JP McManus-owned Bioluminescence is the solid each way option, having shaped like a stayer and, more importantly, missing the Cheltenham & Aintree Festivals due to the ground being too fast. Ground conditions will be ideal today for a horse that has been targeted at this race.

20 April 2025

15:52 3:52 Southwell

Nebras

Daily Racing

50 WINNAP

@1.36

Lose

-50

This should be straightforward for Nebras, who won on debut in October last year, then was pitched into a Group 1 on final start a few weeks later. With the Gosden early season runners all running to form, Nebras can take this en route to much richer pickings.

Overabottleofred is a sound win bet today with 2 runner up efforts this season. Conditions look ideal for the selection to gain an overdue success.

@5.00

Win

Lady Babs arrives here in top form (1112 last 4 starts, including 2 course and distance wins). With a decent conditional rider in the saddle, Lady Babs looks set to go close again at value odds.

13:25 1:25 Cork

Tashir

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@2.00

Lose

-50

Tashir could be useful having ran a very good 2nd on debut last year behind a rival who has gone on to attain a decent rating. If Tashir can run anywhere near that level today, a win is probable.

18 April 2025

16:42 4:42 Newcastle

Wonder Legend

Daily Racing

50 WINNB

@5.50

Win

225

Wonder Legend has a very consistent record on the all weather (23121 since September) and last month's win at Wolverhampton was so impressive that it is hard to see the next best bet of the day not being involved in the finish.

16:07 4:07 Newcastle

Charlottes Web

Daily Racing

25 EW

@11.00

Win

For a horse with all-weather form figures of 11112 since September, current double-figure odds look generous, especially with the apprentice jockey claiming 5 lb.

Old Harrovian

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@5.00

Lose

-50

Old Harrovian is the win selection after winning very easily when last raced here in January. With Oisin Murphy in the saddle, all looks good for a big run.

15:35 3:35 Newcastle

Diligent Harry

Daily Racing

25 EW

@7.50

Lose

-50

Diligent Harry is a previous winner of this race and proved his well-being when running 3rd at Southwell just 12 days ago. Conditions look ideal for a big run.

Marshman

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@7.00

Lose

-50

The win selection is Marshman, who was unlucky last time when running into trouble. Should have too much class if given a better ride today.

15:00 3:00 Newcastle

Storm Star

Daily Racing

25 EW

@6.50

Win

165

With 4 places available, Storm Star should at least grab a podium finish having won twice here at Newcastle this year with this race targeted since that last win.

14:25 2:25 Newcastle

Cloud Cover

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@2.25

Lose

-50

Cloud Cover is by far the class act in this field and is in top form with wins at Deauville and at this track last time in January. Capable of competing at listed/Group level.

Quandary

Daily Racing

25 EW

@12.00

Lose

-50

The form figures of Quandary this year read well (2321), the win at Lingfield in February reading well giving the selection great chances of finishing in the top 4.

13:50 1:50 Newcastle

Humam

Daily Racing

25 EW

@9.00

Lose

-50

Human finished last season with 2 good placed efforts on the flat, but looks a better all-weather prospect with form figures of 112 this year. That level of form gives Human clear place claims.

So Darn Hot

Daily Racing

50 WINNAP

@4.50

Lose

-50

The well bred So Darn Hot is very consistent with form figures of 21211 in last 5 starts including a win here in January. This has been the target since that win.

17 April 2025

17:25 5:25 Ripon

On The River

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@5.00

Lose

-50

On The River finished last season in peak form winning twice in October. If fully fit, one of the top apprentices can take this against some jockeys nowhere near as good.

16:10 4:10 Newmarket

The X O

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@4.50

Lose

-50

The X O has form at a higher level than the rest of this field and finished the season in good form when runner up at Doncaster in October. Too good if fit today.

15:00 3:00 Newmarket

Harpers Ferry

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@3.00

Lose

-50

Harpers Ferry impressed on final 3 year old start, winning a competitive Doncaster handicap with a bit in hand. The selection can defy this mark en route to much richer pickings.

13:35 1:35 Cheltenham

Sainte Lucie

Daily Racing

50 WINNAP

@2.25

Lose

-50

After racing in two Grade 1's, the Willie Mullins-trained Sainte Lucie will find this drop in grade ideal for a return to winning ways for the title-chasing jumps trainer Willie Mullins.

Kap Boy

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@3.00

Lose

-50

Kap Boy can take this after finishing 4th on last 2 starts in arguably stronger races than this. This Chepstow bumper winner can finally start to fulfill the potential he has always shown.

16:10 4:10 Newmarket

Stellenbosch

Daily Racing

50 WINNAP

@3.25

Lose

-50

Stellenbosch ran 2 races full of promise last year, 3rd on both occasions at Newbury and finishing off the campaign here at Newmarket. Very well bred, the nap if fully fit holds the edge on that form.

15 April 2025

20:00 8:00 Kempton

Bishops Crown

Daily Racing

25 EW

@9.00

Lose

-50

At odds of 8/1, Bishop's Crown represents excellent each-way value, having won twice last year and crucially showing a liking for this track when placed here in both starts as a 2-year-old.

16:55 4:55 Kempton

Luminoso

Daily Racing

50 WINNAP

@1.50

Lose

-50

Luminoso sets a decent standard with a runner up finish on debut at Southwell earlier this month. This expensive yearling can win this en route to much richer pickings.

Reigning Profit is 2/2 over this course and distance and won this same race after a similar prep run. On a very winnable mark again and looks to have been targeted for this race.
