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%.

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

Daily Racing

50 WINNBNOTEBest Odds Guaranteed SP 2.75 used instead of 2.50 takenBOG

@2.75

Win

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.

13:42 1:42 Carlisle

Lady Babs

Daily Racing

50 WINNAPNOTEBest Odds Guaranteed SP 5.00 used instead of 4.50 takenBOG

@5.00

Win

200

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.

16 April 2025

17:12 5:12 Ffos Las

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.

14 April 2025

Reigning Profit

@5.50

Lose

-3

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.

Twist Of Fatecatch

Daily Racing

50 WINNAPNOTENon runners at 10.0 or more so no R4 deductionBest Odds Guaranteed SP 1.36 used instead of 1.22 takenBOG

@1.36

Win

The form standard is set by Twist Of Fatecatch who finished runner up over this course and distance last month in a much stronger race than this.

09 April 2025

18:10 6:10 Kempton

Cosmic Year

Daily Racing

50 WINNAP

@1.25

Win

Cosmic Year only ran once last year recording a win at Sandown and the nap is already prominent in the betting for the 2,000 Guineas. To warrant that, the selection must take this with ease.

08 April 2025

14:20 2:20 Carlisle

Double Digits

Daily Racing

50 WINNAP

@1.44

Win

The form shown by Double Digits last time, when only just beaten in a driving finish by a short-priced odds-on favorite, represents a level of form none of this field would have achieved. By replicating that form, the nap can take this with some ease.

07 April 2025

15:57 3:57 Redcar

Convergent

Daily Racing

50 WINNAPNOTENon runners at 10.0 or more so no R4 deduction

@1.25

Win

Convergent sets a very high standard returning to the scene of his only run to date, a win last year in a big field maiden. That sets a mountain in terms of form on the track.

06 April 2025

13:50 1:50 Ffos Las

Tutti Quanti

Daily Racing

50 WINNAPNOTEBest Odds Guaranteed SP 1.29 used instead of 1.25 takenBOG

@1.29

Win

With the Paul Nicholls horses now running into top form, Supreme Novices 6th Tutti Quanti should barring mishaps take this race today with ease. The nap has already won at this track in November.

05 April 2025

17:00 5:00 Aintree

Kalif Du Berlais

Daily Racing

50 WINNAPNOTEBest Odds Guaranteed SP 2.88 used instead of 2.25 takenBOG

@2.88

Win

Kalif Du Berlais has been targeted at this race, purposely missing Cheltenham. The nap's form at 2m sets a huge standard against rivals who had a hard race at Cheltenham.

04 April 2025

15:30 3:30 Aintree

Jonbon

Daily Racing

50 WINNAPNOTEBest Odds Guaranteed SP 1.67 used instead of 1.57 takenBOG

@1.67

Win

Assuming De Boinville can avoid any serious mistakes, multiple Group 1 winning Jonbon can take this with ease. Ran a remarkable race to be runner up in the Queen Mother Chase after a shocking mistake early in the race when it appeared likely he would be pulled up.

03 April 2025

17:15 5:15 Aintree

Seo Linn

Daily Racing

50 WINNB

@3.25

Win

112

Seo Linn has been purposely kept for this race after winning well at Cheltenham's November meeting. The selection arrives fresh and that form has worked out very well.

15:30 3:30 Aintree

Constitution Hill

Daily Racing

50 WINNAP

@1.91

Lose

-50

Constitution Hill can atone for an uncharacteristic jumping error when falling at Cheltenham. The nap is, put simply, the best hurdler in training when it all clicks. I expect a dominant display in disposing of the Mares' champion, Lossiemouth.

02 April 2025

15:15 3:15 Ludlow

Elusiveness

Daily Racing

50 WINNAP

@2.38

Win

It will be hard to stop Elusiveness following up an easy win just 8 days ago when winning easily at Taunton. That was a step up on previous form and the follow up appears the obvious outcome in the context of this race today.

01 April 2025

16:20 4:20 Fakenham

Busy Being Busy

Daily Racing

50 WINNAPNOTEBest Odds Guaranteed SP 1.91 used instead of 1.83 takenBOG

@1.91

Win

Busy Being Busy is a confident nap to follow up last month's win over this track and trip, only having to be pushed out to win comfortably.

31 March 2025

16:55 4:55 Wolverhampton

Under Curfew

Daily Racing

50 WINNAP

@17.00

Lose

-50

Under Curfew's last 3 runs have been here at Wolverhampton with form figures of 153, form good enough to be right in the mix this afternoon if the jockey can negotiate a wide draw. Value at current odds.

30 March 2025

17:30 5:30 Leopardstown

Master Garvey

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@8.00

Lose

-50

The in-form Master Garvey won this month on the all-weather at Dundalk. With fitness assured, he has decent form on the turf to be very competitive today off this mark.

Storm Eric

Daily Racing

25 EWNOTEBest Odds Guaranteed SP 34.00 used instead of 29.00 takenBOG

@34.00

Win

140

Storm Eric performed well over the winter on Dundalk's all-weather surface, the highlight being a win in January. With decent form on the turf at around this mark, an each-way bet is advised with 5 places on offer.

17:15 5:15 Downpatrick

Asphalt Cowboy

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@6.50

Win

275

Asphalt Cowboy has strong claims after finishing runner-up earlier this month in a race as strong as today's. Excellent claims on that form with the jockey claiming a useful 7 lb.

16:55 4:55 Leopardstown

Encosta

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@12.00

Lose

-50

With top jockey Colin Keane taking the ride on Encosta, who has impressive form figures at this track of 32331, a big run is expected especially as Keane was in the saddle when the selection last won.

Expound

Daily Racing

25 EWNOTEBest Odds Guaranteed SP 23.00 used instead of 17.00 takenBOG

@23.00

Win

Expound has strong each way claims with form figures in last 4 flat starts of 4112 and is well drawn in stall 13. If fully fit a place is expected.

Daily Racing

50 WINNAP

@8.00

Lose

-50

The Noel Meade-trained Tell Nobody Nothin won a maiden hurdle here in September and has performed well since in better races, including another 2nd here in handicap company. Can be competitive back at this track.

16:20 4:20 Leopardstown

Light As Air

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@SP

Lose

-50

The very well bred Light As Air can go well for Aidan O'Brien who's horses are finally beginning to hit form. Two maiden 3rd place finishes read well.

29 March 2025

17:45 5:45 Curragh

Nans View

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@10.00

Lose

-50

Returned to the flat today, Nans View has strong claims to complete the hat trick after signing off last season with wins at the Curragh and Galway. Could still be well handicapped.

Theophilos

Daily Racing

25 EW

@17.00

Lose

-50

With Colin Keane riding so well, Theophilos has the form to finish in the top 5 after 3 good warm up runs at Dundalk when 3rd, 2nd and 5th since the turn of the year.

17:10 5:10 Curragh

Evening Blossom

25 EWNOTEDead heat 3 horses sharing 1 placeDH

@13.00

Lose

-22

If fully fit today, Evening Blossom has excellent place claims, having won 2 good races last summer at Gowran and Leopardstown. With 4 places available, 12/1 is a decent price.

Goldrush Kid

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@11.00

Lose

-50

Unlike some of the runners, the fitness of Goldrush Kid is guaranteed and the selection showed a liking for this course when winning here 13 days in a big field handicap.

16:00 4:00 Curragh

Camille Pissarro

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@4.33

Lose

-50

Camille Pissarro represents this season's classic generation and is the only 3-year-old in the field. The O'Brien runner finished the season in top form, winning a Group 1 at Longchamp. If trained on, the selection could be in a different league to this opposition.

Hurricane Ivor

Daily Racing

25 EW

@15.00

Lose

-50

Hurricane Ivor could be the value each way option, arriving here in form after winning a competitive handicap last week in great style. Deserves a go at this level.

15:35 3:35 Doncaster

Alpha Crucis

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@67.00

Lose

-50

For a horse who will like these conditions and finished 4th last year, Alpha Crucis is a massive price. Well drawn potentially in stall 20, a big run is expected.

Dashing Darcey

Daily Racing

25 EWNAP

@34.00

Lose

-50

Dashing Darcey has the right profile to run a big race in the Lincoln. A 4-year-old carrying the right weight, making a seasonal debut after some very good win and placed efforts last term.
