Pieros
If I reflect on my journey, I realize that horse racing gambling has been a lifelong passion for me. It all began when I was merely fourteen years old, though I must admit that success didn't always come easily. Learning the hard way, with the weight of my own money at stake, taught me valuable lessons that I carry with me to this day. However, my life took a significant turn when Betfair entered the scene. This remarkable internet platform opened doors for me, offering an opportunity to study and analyze the fluctuating odds in an entirely new way. I witnessed countless individuals laying horses rated at 12/1 on the course, hoping to make a quick twenty quid, only to face long-term consequences. Sadly, many of those impulsive heroes are no longer with us. After spending several years dedicated to studying and testing this revolutionary betting approach, I made a life-changing decision. I bid farewell to my position as a sales manager and fully embraced a life devoted to horse racing. Since then, I have been joyfully immersed in this extraordinary sport, managing to generate profits while becoming completely addicted to the thrill of making accurate predictions. When I back a winner, I can't help but celebrate loudly, eager to let everyone know that I was spot on. I have developed an aversion to backing short-priced favorites and consciously avoid placing bets on odds-on runners. Although, I must admit that I occasionally succumb to the temptation and back a favorite, only to feel a tinge of guilt or a sense of foolishness when it fails to deliver. Despite my many years of experience, I remain a perpetual learner, constantly seeking to expand my knowledge and refine my strategies. In recent years, I have had the privilege of establishing connections with numerous racing yards, even coming close to owning racehorses. Yet, I have hesitated to take that leap of faith, missing out on some truly remarkable opportunities. My adoration for juveniles and their raw talent fuels my ambition, and I am determined to enter the market as an owner in the near future, driven by a burning desire to be a part of their incredible journeys. Horse racing has been my lifelong passion, and I am grateful for the lessons it has taught me. Every day, I am reminded of the vastness of this sport and the endless opportunities for growth and discovery. As I embark on this exciting path, I invite you to join me, sharing in the joy and anticipation that only horse racing can offer. Together, let us celebrate the triumphs, learn from the losses, and embrace the beauty of this remarkable world.

-75
Joltin N Jiving must be highly regarded at home, having been sent to compete in Grade 1 company at Aintree where he was comprehensively outpaced by classier rivals, but he has strong form in the book and should be well treated off a mark of 120. He beat a subsequent winner now on the up in a point-to-point before running a race full of promise on rules debut. He then bolted up at Carlisle, beating a couple of decent opponents by 8 lengths, so there is plenty of potential for this unexposed 5-year-old. He makes his seasonal return, so he might need the run, but he performed well when fresh last year, so he could be ready to rock.

Only six runners but three places on each-way terms, so I’ll have a small each-way bet on Classical Sting. Now that he has his handicap mark after three runs over hurdles, it is interesting that he goes straight chasing, which looks his game on pedigree. This trainer’s horses often improve significantly for a fence, so at around 15/2 he gets my vote to make a place in the frame.

Nigel and Willy Twiston-Davies’ horses are flying at the moment and High Treason is their only runner on the card, and notably the only ride for Sam Twiston-Davies today. He has been highly tried over fences after winning twice over hurdles, and his mark has now dropped to an appealing level. He had his seasonal return at Bangor where he travelled well for a long way before tiring late on. Good ground seems important for this lightly raced 6-year-old and he should get ideal conditions today. Stepping back up in trip, he’s entitled to come on plenty for that first run of the season, and at around 8/1 he looks one for the each way shortlist with bookies going 4 places.

In a race where most of the runners do not really know how to win, I thought Chasingouttheblues had a decent chance now dropping in class after contesting more competitive Class 2 and 3 events. He returned from a break to go chasing and, after a promising debut at Hexham where he finished strongly over 2m4f, he was backed into odds-on favourite three weeks ago at Newcastle. He made a huge mistake when leading a small field but still showed potential over the larger obstacles. The stiff nature of this track should suit him, and he could outclass his rivals back in Class 4, where he scored three times over hurdles.

Elusiveness was a big improver at the end of last season, scoring a hat-trick of wins since stepping up to 3 miles. Her last success at Haydock worked out particularly well, with the runner-up Queens Venture winning twice subsequently and now rated a stone higher. She made her reappearance at Newton Abbot, but that effort can be excused as she bled from the nose, the distance was on the short side, and she may have needed the run. She is only six and has potential for further improvement, has won twice at right-handed venues, and Chad Bament can still claim a handy 3lb. At around 11/1 she must go on the shortlist for an each way bet.

The presence of the classy Kopek Des Bordes in the race at around 3/10 gives some interesting each way opportunities in the market with three places, and Jigoro makes appeal at around 22/1. Already a course winner at this venue, he has been solid in two starts over fences and today’s drop in distance could be the making of him. Usually keen, he has not been able to see out his races over further, but he is actually well bred and related to a French chase winner over a similar trip. He has been a bit expensive to follow, always well supported in the market yet unable to land the odds, but that suggests he is well regarded at home and I’m sure under Gordon Elliott he will pop up sooner or later.

Gold For Alec remains a work in progress despite two wins in Huntingdon handicap hurdles last season, looking very impressive on the second occasion when quickening clear in the manner of a horse going places to beat his rivals by six lengths over 2m4f. He found the minimum trip on the sharp side on his return after a break, doing his best work late. Callum Pritchard is back on board and can claim 5lb today from an unchanged handicap mark. Tom Symonds’s yard is currently flying and this is his only runner on the card, so there is plenty to like about his chances. Should be heavily involved at around 9/4.

A point winner and a prolific scorer in a bumper and over hurdles, he has finished second twice over fences, not really looking like winning, but showing improved jumping technique last time out. He drops another pound at the weights and meets rivals who might want a stronger test of stamina. At around 7/2 with Harry Cobden on board he looks the bet in this small field event.

Clear Storm has been knocking on the door for some time and arrives here on the back of an excellent run at Fontwell when only just missing out by half a length. After a slow start to the season the yard picked up a couple of winners at Uttoxeter, which could suggest their horses are turning a corner form-wise. With the benefit of that recent run and the booking of Ryan, a clear plus at amateur level, he should run well again and looks capable of getting involved at around 11/2.

Alexei is progressive and makes appeal to go well again, though the ground conditions are a concern. I’m going for Serious Challenge, an Irish import who was rated over 100 on the flat for Jim Bolger and looks to have made a smooth transition to hurdling for local trainer Fergal O’Brien. An emphatic winner of three consecutive novices, including under a penalty, he shaped really well in the Championship Final at Sandown last April to finish fourth of 14. He already has a run under his belt, which came at Aintree over 2m4f: kept in rear, he moved up to challenge the leaders before tiring into fourth. I suspect he did not see out the trip and that was only a prep for today’s Greatwood. Given his flat form and strong start over hurdles, a mark of 127 looks very workable, so at around 6/1 he should be a strong player and a solid each way contender with bookies going 5 places.

The presence of Protektorat rated 165 gives the highly rated runners a chance to carry a reasonable weight in the conditions, and Beauport, representing the local Nigel and Willy Twiston-Davies yard, must have a strong chance given how well he goes fresh. He absolutely bolted up around this time last year at Ascot in the Berkshire National on his seasonal reappearance, taking the lead halfway and never seeing another rival to score by 30 lengths. He clearly stays forever and loves these conditions, so if returning in the same form as last year he could be a real player at around 5/1.

Torneo, given his size and scope, was sent chasing already at the age of four and had a prolific campaign, jumping well for such a young horse. Usually held up in the rear, he needs a strong pace to aim at, so today’s contest should suit him much better. His seasonal reappearance at Wetherby certainly did not, with only four runners and him kept in last throughout, yet he still shaped well to finish second and should come on plenty for that run. A solid jumper representing the in-form Jamie Snowden yard, he looks the type to progress through the season and his mark of 122 appears workable. At around 11/2 he looks the each-way angle in the race with bookies going 4 places.

With the field cutting down to only a few runners, I’m tempted by course specialist Gowel Road to run another good race at the track for the in-form local yard. He again exceeded expectations last term, winning the Grade 2 Cleeve Hurdle here on soft ground, and he finished second in this race last year when bumping into the smart Doyen Quest. He made a decent enough reappearance three weeks ago, pulling hard in front before fading entering the final straight. I suspect he will come on plenty for that run, and he represents a bit of value at around 10/1.

Holy Joly Smoke was a useful and progressive novice chaser last season, quickly switching to open company to take advantage of his handicap mark. He impressed with his jumping and won twice over 3 miles at Sandown, including on soft ground. He was laid out for the Bet365 Gold Cup but ended up 12lb out of the weights and was eventually pulled up, though he travelled prominently for a long way. Skelton’s charge made a very eye-catching return at this venue over 3m1f, just weakening in the closing stages. The drop back in trip, combined with the ground making it a proper test of stamina anyway, keeps him of strong interest for powerful connections. At around 13/2, he looks capable of getting involved.

She made an excellent return a month ago at Limerick when finishing a creditable third over today’s trip, not knocked about. The booking of Sean Bowen catches the eye for this yard. At around 16/1 she looks a solid each way contender.

Ben Pauling has his string in top form and Sound And Fury looks to have really found his feet over fences. Still relatively lightly raced for his age, he is three from six in this sphere, including wins at Wetherby and Uttoxeter over a similar trip on soft ground. He scored on his seasonal reappearance two weeks ago in a competitive 0??"135 at Carlisle and received only a 3lb penalty, which looks more than fair. He could not have a better jockey at amateur level than Gina Andrews, so if the race does not come too soon he has an excellent each way chance at around 15/2 with bookies going 5 places.

Great Fleet was one of the standout eye-catchers at the October meeting here. A point-to-point runner-up and bumper winner at Market Rasen on soft ground, he took a big step forward from his hurdles debut at Kelso, reducing the gap with Conman John from seven and a half to just three lengths. Still a bit green and held up in midfield, he stayed on strongly up the hill to finish an excellent second on his first ride under Harry Skelton. He now drops back in trip, but with plenty of rain forecast, conditions could turn this into a real test of stamina. There are a few unexposed rivals in the line-up, but Great Fleet looks open to further progress and could well be the answer to this valuable prize. At around 11/2, he’s worth an each-way bet.

It’s always difficult to oppose a champion like Jonbon, but Cheltenham has never really been his track as he tends to make a mistake at some stage of the race. If that happens again, Libberty Hunter could be the one to take advantage and looks fairly priced at 5/1 in a small field. He has an excellent record on soft ground and goes well fresh, so the return after a break is not a concern. He was still travelling well when falling four out in the Champion Chase at the Festival and has produced several strong performances at this venue, including two wins. Harry Cobden is an eye-catching jockey booking, being the last to ride him to victory. He has a bit to find on official ratings, but overall conditions look ideal and he’s worth a small bet.

Fugitif is of obvious interest dropping for the first time from Graded company into a veteran handicap. He boasts excellent course form, his last win coming here when narrowly denying another course specialist, Il Ridoto. He made his seasonal return last year straight into the Paddy Power Gold Cup, running a very creditable fifth of fifteen off a mark of 152. Now 7lb lower, he faces older rivals at what should be a more manageable tempo. With rain on the way, conditions will be in his favour, and Charlie Maggs’ 5lb claim adds further appeal. There’s plenty to like about Richard Hobson’s runner, and he looks well placed to bounce back at this level after a couple of disappointing efforts last season.

The Skelton runner is probably the one to beat, but at the bottom of the weights I’m hopeful for a good run from As Legends Have It. He showed plenty of ability in bumpers, finishing second to Hollygrove Cha Cha before scoring next time out at Ffos Las, both runs coming on very deep ground. Never out of the frame in four starts over hurdles, his best effort came last time at Uttoxeter when travelling strongly before being headed late on. The first-time headgear likely aims to help him finish his races better, and if that works, conditions will be ideal. At around 10/1, he looks an excellent each way proposition with bookies going 5 places.

No More Bolero looks an interesting contender in this modest 0??"95 handicap over 2m4f, making his first start for James Owen over hurdles. Rated 70 on the Flat, he appears fairly treated off a mark of 84 in this sphere. Like most of his rivals he has shown some inconsistency, but at only six years old and now in capable hands, there could be more to come. He is a half-brother to multiple winner Nemean Lion, so if the new yard can unlock some improvement, he could be one to keep an eye on. The trainer reaches for the cheekpieces again, a piece of headgear that worked well when he finished fourth at Fontwell and second at Newton Abbot. With Alex Chadwick taking a handy 3lb off, he looks worth an each-way play at around 11/2 with bookies paying four places.

La Marquise looks a bit overpriced at around 6/1 and is worth a go with the yard currently in flying form. She returned from a long break over 2m5f at Ludlow when the run looked needed, outpaced, rallied, and then tired late on. Her previous form reads well, finishing third in a Grade 2 bumper at Aintree behind Diva Luna, and a winner over hurdles at right-handed Ludlow over the minimum trip. Heavily backed to confirm that form next time out at Newbury, she flopped, probably not right or picking up an injury, as she wasn’t seen for almost a year. If she comes on from that first seasonal run, she should be very competitive off a mark of 115 in first-time headgear.

She should appreciate the step up in distance over hurdles and, if ready to go, must have some sort of chance.

He showed fair ability on the flat in Ireland for Johnny Murtagh, reaching a mark in the low 70s, and is out of a mare who won on very soft ground. Peter Kavanagh is back on board in this amateur jockeys’ event and can guide him through better this time around.

Running out of the weights, he was blocked by another horse when finishing strongly before ending up a close fourth. He has been a bit unlucky overall, falling at Uttoxeter last year when travelling best, before winning at Lingfield and then finishing second at Warwick under a penalty. Rated only 115, he looks fairly treated at the weights carrying just 10-7 and is Harry’s chosen mount over Honky Tonk Highway. With that recent run under his belt, he meets several rivals returning from breaks, which should give him a fitness edge. At around 2/1, he looks a solid player granted a clear round.

Fine Casting has not won for a while but was running consistently last term in some competitive heats around the country over hurdles.

Returning after a summer break, his fitness must be taken on trust, but the yard has been in tremendous form, and I’m sure he’s had plenty of schooling at home over the larger obstacles. He looks handicapped to get involved if in decent form and is worth an each way play at around 8/1.

Express Surprise created a strong impression when making a winning chase debut last term at Huntingdon, relishing the trip in some style. A bit of an improver already over hurdles, he couldn’t quite confirm that form subsequently, jumping poorly but still managing to make the frame. Hopefully, he has benefited from plenty of schooling during the summer break. Out of a multiple winning mare over jumps who improved with age and experience, he has the pedigree to be rated higher than his current mark of 96.

He wasn’t really raceable last year at left-handed tracks with his tendency to jump badly to his right, but proved a bit more straightforward this time, even though I still think he’s better going right-handed. He made a huge jumping error with a mile to go but still managed to finish a creditable sixth of 20, shaping as though he needed the run after a summer off. Back at a right-handed venue with that first run under his belt and the yard in excellent form, he’s fitted with a first-time hood that should help him settle better. Already a course and distance winner who looks well handicapped and a possible improver, worth a go at 7/2.

Twice beaten a neck in Irish Points, Kool Kid made a winning start under rules when beating subsequent winner Race To Base in a Hereford bumper. Despite running keenly, he eased to the front three out and responded well when challenged. He started over 2m3f over hurdles at Fontwell and, having been prominent, did not see out the trip on soft going. A return to the minimum distance on better ground with that first seasonal run under his belt will help; at around 5/1 he is worth a small win bet.

This looks a good price for Day Of Grace, who has made rapid improvement in the UK for William Haggas since tackling handicaps on testing ground. She’s now won three in a row, producing her most impressive display last time out at Newbury when turning what looked a competitive race into a canter. Held up at the rear after a slow start, she travelled like a classy filly and took over one out, drawing clear from the rest. Her pedigree suggests she’s smart, and she’s well worth a try at Listed level. Christophe Soumillon is booked, and from the plum draw in stall one he has plenty of options, 3/1 win bet.

James Joseph Mangan wants to give Spillane's Tower a run before sending him back into Grade 1 company over fences and has found this Listed hurdle handicap, where he can start 33lb below his chasing mark. He was already entered at Down Royal last week, but the ground proved too quick, so they may have had him close to readiness nine days ago. Even if he’s only 70%, he should be capable of winning this race over the smaller obstacles. I’m sure Mark Walsh won’t be hard on him for this assignment, but he looks so far superior on paper that he could take this anyway. He was in good form around this time last year, finishing second to Fact To File without a prep run at Punchestown, so it would be no surprise to see him win first time out.

I was surprised to see Inishcorker go straight to Cheltenham on his yard debut after coming from an Irish point success last February. Unfortunately, he made a blunder at the first hurdle and was never really in the race, eventually being pulled up. That was, however, a much more competitive contest than this one, and he now drops back in trip. With that recent run under his belt, Curtis’ charge should have a fitness edge over most, and given how highly regarded he appears to be, I suspect he can improve. Small each-way bet at around 8/1.

Silius drops in class today and has a serious chance to get back in the winner’s enclosure, having shaped with plenty of credit when last seen in a Group 3 at Deauville. He twice finished second to Maranoa Charlie, the subsequent Prix de la Forêt winner, while Prix du Prat winner Woodshauna finished back in third, which gives him strong French form in the book. Given a short break to freshen up after skipping the Arc meeting, he arrives here with an excellent chance. The draw hasn’t been kind, but at around 7/2 he’s worth a go at this level.

Rouge de L'Quest could be the answer to this tricky chase handicap over 3 miles. A point winner on soft ground, he recorded his only win under rules over this course and distance on heavy ground. Usually going well when fresh, he makes his seasonal reappearance under Sean Bowen, who was on board when he was beaten only a head here at Ffos Las. His mark has dropped back to a more realistic figure, and he looks worth a small each way bet at around 7/1.

King Turgeon was an emphatic winner of this race last term and could still be on the up, but he is now 12 lb higher at the weights, while third home, Gaboriot, arrives here 3 lb lower. With only four lengths separating them last year, I side this time with Oliver Greenall and Josh Guerriero’s nine-year-old. He has plenty of experience in hunter chases and staying contests over fences but has taken particularly well to these Grand National fences and tends to go well when fresh. The return of blinkers on his first run of the season, with Bobby Dunne taking over the ride off a low weight of 10-6, looks a positive move. If reproducing a similar effort to last year’s renewal, he could be overpriced at double digits and rates solid each-way value with bookies paying 5 or 6 places.

This looks like one of the toughest puzzles of the day to solve, with several runners coming into the race holding some sort of chance. I’ll take the double figure odds for Akkadian Thunder, who has been really competitive in similar handicaps all season, winning once here at Doncaster over 7 furlongs. Usually well backed, he needs things to fall right as a hold-up horse. During recent meetings on testing ground, the field has tended to edge towards the near side rail, so starting from stall 22 could play to his strengths. He has good course form, and there’s plenty of pace on his side of the track, which should give him a nice tow into the race. The visor goes on for the first time after he hung last time out, which should help him focus. Each way possibilities with bookies offering six places.

There should be plenty of pace on in this contest and, given the way he ran after almost a year off the track in September at Newbury, Montassib looks sure to be a better proposition over this distance. He was slowly away and a little outpaced over inadequate 5 furlongs but gradually closed the gap on the main group, and once Cieren Fallon switched his legs, he picked up nicely to finish a never nearer third. A Group 1 winner at Haydock last season in the Betfair Sprint Cup, it was clear that William Haggas had him ready for Champions Day at Ascot, but he drifted in the market as the ground dried out quickly, resulting in a still creditable effort when seventh of 19. Back up to his ideal trip, he can be expected to sit off a strong gallop and finish late. Top rated on official terms but not carrying a penalty like his two main rivals, Art Power and Spycatcher, this course and distance winner drops into Listed company and makes obvious appeal with James Doyle taking over the ride. At 7/4, he looks a big player.

You can make a clear case for several of these runners, but Shazani is the one for me at the prices. He has shown his best form here at Doncaster, winning over a mile and finishing second on heavy ground two weeks ago over today’s trip. Drawn in stall one, he raced solo on the far side of the course, leading the field for much of the way. That proved not to be the best part of the track as the runners edged towards the near side during the day, so I think he did well to finish so close to the winner. By Dark Angel, he clearly enjoys these conditions, and at around 14/1 he has an each way shout once again with bookies going 5 places.

Another wide open contest, and Twist Of Fatecatch looks a possible improver having shaped really well when last seen over this new trip. In first time headgear, he didn’t do anything quickly but stayed on strongly to grab sixth in a race where the top-rated was 136, making it a much more competitive contest than this. He returns after 131 days off, and while his best form has come on good ground, so the forecast rain could be a concern, he has the pedigree to improve with age and experience and looks fairly treated off a mark of 115. Now under new ownership, with Conor O'Farrell taking over the ride, this consistent five-year-old remains open to further progress. At around 17/2, he makes the shortlist for an each way bet with bookies paying the extra place.

Big field, wide open contest, and Klic Boum might need the run on his seasonal reappearance, but he was clearly on the up in his last three runs, with the form working out really well. Third to Oh My Johnny and Reallyntruthfully, now rated 121 and 130 respectively, he then bumped into Moon Chime, now rated 129, before ending the season third at Ffos Las behind Indeevar Bleu and Stream Of Stars, both now 126. He might need a bit further in time, but he looks fairly treated off a mark of 99 with Isabel Williams claiming a handy 7 lb. However, with the yard a bit on the cold list, only a small each-way bet at around 12/1 with bookies paying 5 places.

Fitness has to be taken on trust as she returns after a 276-day layoff, but Mutley Crew made an excellent chase debut when last seen, having been hampered by another horse who almost jumped into her three out. Very lightly raced for her age, she is already a course winner over hurdles and gave the impression of being better suited to the larger obstacles. A typical low mileage Robert Walford runner, she can make her presence felt if ready to go off a low mark of 83. At around 12/1, she could be one for the frame in what looks a wide open contest.

Sunset Marquesa has the best form in the book and appreciates quick ground, so she should have some sort of each-way chance if in decent form on her seasonal reappearance. She has run her best races going right handed, finishing third in a Listed race at Sandown before breaking her maiden at Wincanton. Generally highly regarded, she was hampered and fell when last seen in a Grade 2 at Newbury and returns with the yard already in good form. At around 9/1, she looks nicely priced for an each way bet with bookies going four places.
