I have been betting on the horses for over 25yrs+. I love studying the form and trying to work out a handicap puzzle! I do my own research on every tip I post (I am very selective in my picks), as I also bet with my own money. I watch replay after replay, look at endless stats, course & distance winners, speed ratings, % jockey win rates, trainer stats etc etc and try to look for value that the bookies have missed. I also try to look at the ‘extra places’ the bookies offer (as we all know how it feels when an each way pick comes in 4th), you have to look at every angle to try and beat them! We shall see how it goes on here. Good luck with all your bets!

If Packetofbiscuits can transfer his AW form over to turf tomorrow, then 13/8 is good value. Over this shorter distance of 6f compared to his last run at Wolverhampton, I think this will also suit him. The experienced Luke Morris is on board.

I'm going to go for Kats Bob in this one, he is up for a five timer now, he escapes a penalty under the handicapper. William Pyle rides again but this time he has his 3lb allowance. So Kats Bob has effectively 6lbs less on his back than his last run at Thirsk. Upped into Class 4 from a Class 5.

Ballyburn has drifted slightly in the market a tiny bit, not sure why, I'm guessing it's because of his performance at Cheltenham. He made a mistake at the 7th fence which really rattled him and you could see it with his jumping after that. Never really got back on terms. He's a better than that and I'm sure he will go closer this time around.

Poetic Force

Win

Apart from the obvious Shaw Park going well. I'm going to take a chance on the now 11 year old Poetic Force here at Brighton. He has decent course form and will saddle 8st 8lbs (with Molly Gunn's allowance) on his back tomorrow. He had 9st on his back (Molly Gunn took off 7lbs) when he was 2nd at Brighton on 8th Oct last year, and if he brings that turf form back to Brighton, he should hopefully go well. Good course trainer. Molly Gunn rides again in this apprentice handicap. Lots of positives.

Ramon Di Loria is only 4/1 with one firm at the moment (WillHill). This gelding was extremely unlucky in his last ride at Musselburgh on 2nd April. He was boxed in, tried to go up the rail, cut off, and in the end had to settle for 3rd place. Tommie Jakes takes off 3lbs in this apprentice handicap bit in my opinion he has the best horse in the race under him so he should be close.

Naval Academy showed a bit of his old form at Thirsk last time out over 6f, running on a bit towards the end so this extra 1f might suit him. In a weak looking Class 6 event. Hopefully that run has blown off the cobwebs and he will strip fitter for this run. William Pyle on board taking a handy 3lbs off as well.

Judging by Hail Sezer's form he likes it at Wetherby. He had a decent 3rd on the AW at Newcastle last time out on the 3rd Dec last year. I think gelding is on a good mark now, he is 4lbs below his last win at Catterick in May of last year. This 8 year old goes well fresh. So this switch to turf from the AW and on good groud might see him revitalised.

Gentlemen De Mee might of been very lucky to win the Topham Chase over 2m 5f with Lisnamult Lad being hampered very badly by a loose horse, but Mark Walsh rode him so patiently and put him in that position to strike in the first place. Dropped from 11st 11lbs to 11st 6lbs for this. I think he will appreciate the good ground and the extra 1 1/2f. Mark Walsh riding again as well. So I'm going to take on Gaelic Warrior (Mullins) & Pic D'orhy (Nicholls), with Gentlemen De Mee (Mullins). So all posotives, dropped 5lbs for that win in the Topham, extra 1 1/2f, good ground and Mark Walsh riding again.

I don't think I can ignore the price of Fandabidozi now. His form over hurdles last two races excluding his AW form is 11 . So he must be worth a shot. 3 places on offer. A lot of strong contenders but he might just sneak a place.

Hidden History looks good in this Class 3 hurdle at Perth. He quickened up well last time out at Toxxy, beating Wellington Arch who won well at Aintree next time out. 11st 2lbs on his back at Toxxy, this time 10st 12lbs. So handicapper has been very generous and every chance he could go in again.

Jubilee Gold appeals to me in this Class 4 handicap hurdle at Taunton. A lot of these other runners have distance concerns (not ran the trip before or not ran the trip well). Him Malaya (current favourite) may have too much weight now along with Man Of The Sea & Valadon. El Gavilan could be a danger (currently 8/1) with the experienced Adam Wedge on board. Blackhills & D'Jo Dela Barriere form isn't good enough to be in contention. So that leaves Jubilee Gold who I think will like the ground at Taunton, has been dropped to 11st 2lbs since his last run at Plumpton where he was a decent 2nd with 12st on his back. Lee Edwards rides again. Hopefully he goes well at nice odds.

I'm going to opt for Low Mileage in this Class 5 event at Kelso. I will forgive his last run at Hexham as a one-off bad run, and hope it was just that, as before that he put up some good efforts at Musselburgh and Catterick. Edward Austin taking the reins again. I can find a few chinks in the armor, as it were, in the first couple of favorites in the betting, and that's why I'm opting for Low Mileage. This one could potentially be a lot shorter come race time tomorrow.

Sawpit Sienna appeals in this Class 5 contest at Fakenham due to the price and the 3 places on offer with Bet365. I'm sure Auntie Maggie (current favourite) is the danger. Milajess could go well but has a lot of extra weight from her last race/win. First-time visor could spark a bit more improvement with Sawpit Sienna from her already good run last time out at Ludlow.

In a very tough-looking race, I'm going to take a risk on Jolyjump. This gelding will be wearing first-time cheekpieces, which could spark a little more improvement, and also the good ground could work in his favor. The yard does very well here. Caoilin Quinn in the saddle again. 10st 8lbs on this gelding's back, that's the lowest I can see that he's saddled as far back as late 2023. Hopefully, he can go well.

Bobalot should go well at Huntingdon here. I can't see anything out of the top 4 challenging in this race. Went well at Hereford over this distance on 8th March, finishing a decent 3rd. Mr. Sean O'Connor takes a handy 7lbs off as well.

Bluegrass, I think, could go well here at Haydock in this Class 2 event. This 6-year-old gelding arrives here in solid form. 11st 9lbs on his back last time out at Fakenham, where he was pushed all out to just get his head in front at the line. He's now upped into a Class 2 but with 11st 4lbs on his back. Hopefully, he goes well at Haydock, where he has never been before. 3 places on offer.

I'm going to take on the favourite, Buckna, and second favourite, Devon Dude, at the moment with Guchen. He's had some pretty good results at Hereford and Huntington last time out with a 2nd and 3rd. He now comes to Ffos Las with 11st 5lbs on his back but with 10lb claimer Nathan Andrews. So this puts him well in with a chance to strike. Hopefully, this grey gelding goes well and likes it at Ffos Las.

I like Mammies Boy in what looks like quite a strong race. Last run was on 9th May 2024. I think they've been waiting to run him again on good ground. As long as he is fit and ready to go, he will be competitive in this, as he hasn't run for 340 days. He was bumped, bullied, and didn't get a very clear run at all in the last furlong at Huntington and still won readily. Jonjo O'Neill Jr on board again.

Mutual Respect has a great opportunity here. In his last race at Market Rasen he beat Pittsburg into 2nd spot, the latter won yesterday very well at Hereford and before that at Market Rasen as well.

I'm going to chance Kalif d'Airy in this Fontwell Handicap Hurdle. He has been very unlucky with the amount of 2nd's he has had recently but his last race he put up a good fight, pulling away from the pack with the eventual winner and only going down by 1/2 length. With that Fontwell experience on his last two rides under his belt he might go one better. Caoilin Quinn rides again for the Moore's.

Didn't have time to put this on last night when it was 40/1. Sinchi Roca, Getaway Vic, and Mighty Gesture head the market, probably rightly so, but I think Lovis De Sceaux has got a squeak at getting a place here. It was 40/1 last night. I think it will be backed. Positives can be taken from this gelding's last run, and Ben Jones isn't on him for fun.

Dirty Den, I think, is too big a price here. He obviously didn't like the fences last time out at Hereford, so now goes back to hurdles at Taunton. A case can be made for a lot of these that run in this, especially now with the ground going 'good to firm.' Because of that, there are a few in here who could surprisingly improve after their last run. 3 places on offer for the hopefully consistent Dirty Den.

Tread Softly Now was really unlucky in her last run at Carlisle. She managed to grab 2nd place despite getting blocked in and running into trouble everywhere she turned. She did very well under the circumstances. She had effectively 10st 10lbs on her back for that race at Carlisle (Alan Doyle took 3lbs off), now carrying 10st 1lb as Charlie Maggs is taking off 5lbs. So she's done okay out of that run. I put her in with a great chance here. 3 places on offer as well in a 7-runner race.

I'm going to play Copper Jack here, he looks like a completely different horse since his wind surgery. Winning well at Chepstow last time out.

Stumptown, Vanillier & Intense Raffles are my picks in this but as we can't put all of them on OLBG I thought I'd share on here. 6 places. Vanillier was staying on well in the Cross Country Chase at Cheltenham last time out. Now he is 1/2 stone lighter for that effort. That 1/2 stone should make all the difference over 4m 2 1/2f. So this extra distance and less weight could work out well. Good luck everyone with all your bets today.

Romeo Coolio was a very good 3rd in the Supreme Novices Hurdle at Cheltenham on 11th March, only going down to Kopek Des Bordes and William Munny. Salvatore Mundi was in that race like he is today, and he soundly beat him. The only threat I could possibly see is Tripoli Flyer whose speed on the flat is excellent, but his jumping is a worry so that's why I'm edging towards Romeo Coolio.

Rangatira Jack is the only one in this race who has shown any sort of form. He had a close 2nd in his last race at Exeter last time out. Raised from 11st 1lb in his last race to 12st now. The only danger I can see coming from is Moonlight Artist, who has had wind surgery and is on quite a dangerous mark now. Rangatira Jack's jumping left a lot to be desired, but if he runs to the standard that he set in his last race, he will go close.
