Uncle Fiddler

Always loved horses and racing, I Used to run and edit Final Furlong Magazine in the nineties ( if anyones old enough to remember it before the internet) and have owned various horses with various trainers since then. Selections are found from experience, hard form study, watching replays, knowing the tracks and the horses. Get inside the trainers head and talk to the horses! Never be put off by long odds! Low grade handicaps are where I get the best results. Been involved with racing for 40 years now, only follow NH and I take horse racing bets seriously. Football I bet on for fun. Horses I bet on to make a profit. Steady consistent profit from value single bets is the goal, with a few EW doubles along the way. Have a Top Day! Uncle Fiddler....

Must Be Obeyed

25 EWNAPR4Deductions based on standard industry rates given the odds of each withdrawn horse at time of first withdrawal following your betNR

@13.00

Void

Must Be Obeyed has put in her best performances at this sort of trip on good ground and yielding ground, including the course winner's 2nd in this race last year off a 3lb higher mark. Her last five starts have not been in optimum conditions for the 9-year-old, which has seen her mark drop. No surprise to see a much bigger effort today in first-time cheekpieces.

This could prove an open semi-final with Arsenal trying to take the game to the visitors. Both sides have enough firepower to score, and Arsenal could have enough to edge it.

19:45 Burton Albion v Wigan

@2.62

Lose

-50

Burton have more to play for in avoiding the drop than mid-table Wigan. The visitors are unbeaten in six and can get a goal here. Burton will have to open up and attack, scoring 2 last time. Two of the last three meetings have seen 3 goals or more.

19:45 Chorley v Kings Lynn Town

Over 2.50

Total Goals

50 WIN

@2.20

Lose

-50

Big playoff match and Chorley have scored 5 in both their last two games. Kings Lynn let three in last time. Both sides can get a goal or two tonight and the price for 3 or more offers value.

19:45 Solihull Moors v Rochdale

Over 2.50

Total Goals

50 WIN

@2.10

Lose

-50

Solihull scored three in their last home game, and Rochdale, who have done all they can this season, may rest a few for the playoff. They scored 5 last time out and can get goals, but the hosts could outscore them.

@17.00

Win

209

Gaucher is a 6-year-old CD winner who took a while to show his best. Then, after jumping better and settling well, he won in style at Navan on his penultimate start. Last time out, 23 days ago, when the yard had the first five home, he had to give weight away to higher-rated horses, making that effort almost as good as his win. He is well suited by today's course, trip, and ground. He proved he can carry a big weight well and is capable enough to be thereabouts at the front, from start to finish.

28 April 2025

20:00 Leeds v Bristol City

Leeds

50 WIN

@1.62

Win

Leeds have been in top form of late, whilst City lost 3-1 to Luton last time. They both need a win badly, but it is Leeds who have the quality to get all three points.

-50

Both sides have seen two of their last three matches produce 3 or more goals. Forest have had a great season and will have to take the game to City today if they have any chance of going through. Forest look capable enough of getting a goal or two, but City, who are hitting form, also look sure to find the net at least as often as Forest.

-50

Beatrice Shilling ran her best race at Newbury in July last year when staying on well over today's trip, good to firm, in a class 2 novice. A reproduction of that run could see her win this. She has not had the same trip and conditions since, until today. Fit from a run on the AW, with the yard in form, she can at least make the frame.

14:00 Bournemouth v Man Utd

50 WIN

@1.67

Lose

-50

Five of the last six meetings between these sides have seen three or more goals scored. Today, with no pressure and little to play for other than pride and a few spots higher in the league, both sides will be taking risks and looking for all three points. The result of the circumstances should see goals.

14:00 Stevenage v Rotherham

Over 2.50

@2.20

Lose

-50

Rotherham are 14th and Stevenage 15th. Both have 55 points and little to play for. They have both seen 3 of their last 6 games produce 3 or more goals. With no pressure on either side, an entertaining game with goals is forecast.

26 April 2025

17:30 Southend v Wealdstone

Wealdstone

50 WIN

@5.00

Lose

-50

Wealdstone need a win to get away from the drop zone, and they have been in good enough form (only lost one in the last five) to believe they can get something here. Southend need the win to keep alive playoff hopes but could come undone at home today, having recorded just one win in the last four.

Over 2.50

Total Goals

50 WIN

@1.80

Southend are one place off the playoffs and have to play to win today. Wealdstone are one place off relegation and also have to win for different reasons. Circumstances of the game should bring about goals.

17:30 Wrexham v Charlton

Wrexham

Massive game for both sides vying for an automatic promotion place. It is Wrexham, who have an excellent home record, that are taken to edge this.

17:15 Crystal Palace v Aston Villa

Should prove an Open Cup semi-final, and Villa have seen more than three goals scored in all of their last six games (all competitions). Palace have seen 3 or more in 4 of the last 6.

Electric Mason never ran his race last time but ran good races when twice behind The New Lion before winning at Fontwell. If back to his best with the yard in better form, then he offers some EW value.

Resplendent Grey is just 1 lb out of the handicap in this, and his low weight can play to his advantage at this marathon trip. He was 2nd at this track on his only start here and has also proved he can go well on good ground when 2nd at Cheltenham in November. The trip holds no fears for the 7-year-old, and he looks capable enough of winning a race like this. Cheekpieces go on for the first time.

Take No Chances has had a great season and run consistently well on the last four starts (3 on good to soft) and seems best on proper good ground. She gets the 7lb mares allowance in this and should be bang there come the finish. Current price offers some Each Way thief value.

15:00 Dag & Red v Altrincham

Dagenham simply must win to try to avoid relegation, and Altrincham must win to keep any hopes of a playoff place alive. We should see an open game with goals today.

Maidenhead are 22nd and Ebbsfleet are bottom and already relegated. The visitors need a win or will also be doomed. Ebbsfleet have conceded 94 this season and Maidenhead have conceded 75. We should see both sides concede more today.

Braintree, 18th, have drawn their last two games 0-0. But before that, goals were flowing in their games. Today, both sides need a win for different reasons. Halifax, at home, will push for goals, and they should get them.

Notts County have not been in their best form of late and desperately need to win today to avoid risking slipping out of the playoffs. Harrogate is not safe from the drop yet and needs a win. An open game could prevail where the visitors prove too strong for the hosts.

Leyton Orient have seen 3 or more goals scored in all of their last four games. They need a win to secure a playoff spot. Wycombe still have a chance of automatic promotion but need to win. Both sides will be going for it and goals should come.

Win

Red Windsor won a CD hurdle here following a 146 day break in 2022. Has not shown much in the last year on different ground and different trips and at times in better class. He does have a fair record at this track and is now down to a career low mark. Yard were quiet in Feb and March but have come back to form this month with a couple of winners and a few places in the last two weeks. This is a moderate event and if he is ready to go then he has a solid winning chance. Can be backed EW at current double figure odds.

Tedwin Hills, normally a sound jumper, had the race in his grasp last time (Ffos Las, good to soft) until a blunder 3 out caused the rider to lose his reins and pull up. Kept to the same trip tonight and on slightly better ground, a winner on good, he should be putting in another big effort and may take some catching.

Vendant went well here over 2m5f in January when 2nd, beaten a neck. Upped in class next time and not disgraced over 3m1f at Plumpton. Pulled up when bled from the nose last time, so has to be forgiven. Went well on good to firm over 3m in a point, and the lightly raced 7-year-old looks capable of making the frame at least if all's well this time.

The handicapper may well have the measure of a few of these, whereas Kingston Gent has just had the one start in handicaps, which came on heavy at Exeter last time. His previous run at Taunton at this trip was on good to soft, and he was beaten just six lengths then. His pointing win came over 2m4f good, and this will be his first run under rules on similar ground. Looks likely to be seriously asked what he can do today. He could be good enough to win, and his price offers EW thief value.

Proper Twelve drops back to his optimum trip for the first time since joining this yard and having four chase runs. After a 50-day break, he returned over hurdles last time and went well for a long way, arguably over a trip that stretches him. Kept to hurdles this time, and the rider's claim means he could well go out and try to make all. If he comes on for the last run, which it looks like he will, he could hold on.

Present Fair ran well enough against consistent sorts at today's trip on the last two starts at Catterick, soft and good to soft. He is now at a career-low mark, and Kavanagh takes off an extra 3lb. Looks sure to be trying hard in a race where the stable has three runners, and provided the ground has some give about, he looks the value EW bet.

Fandabidozi is progressing as a hurdler and won the last two starts over sticks, the latest 12 days ago over CD. Likely there is more to come, and the 5lb rise may not stop the 7yo in this.

If the rain stays away, then Tartan Cookie is one that could bounce back to the form of his run three starts ago when 3rd at Catterick on soft. He has some slightly better form on good and good to soft and would have been closer that day had the ground been better. His last two starts were PU in a class 4 and then 12th of 15 last time, which was his first run for 271 days. The stable is in form, so every chance he will come on for that run, and the price offers some EW value.

Cornish Storm had a spin on the flat 18 days ago, good to firm, and ran well on the ground. It won't be quite that quick today back over hurdles, and the progressive sort looks capable of getting back on track at a sharp RH track that he has again today. Only 2lb higher than when smashing the field at Taunton in February and can rate higher still. Looks good EW value for this.

Annie Nail was off for nearly two years before running twice in January and returns to action with a new yard following a 93-day break. She was going well when last seen, and after being badly hampered by a faller, all chance was gone. The 8-year-old enjoys today's ground and has no stamina issues. She is back below her last winning mark, and the rider claims 3lb. She was consistent over fences in 2023 and jumped well. There are question marks on all her rivals in this, be it ground, trip, or form. Looks EW value.

Topofthecotswolds returned to fences last time following two hurdles runs after a 3-month break and a change of stable. He finished 3rd, beaten 15 lengths. Dropped in trip and class today, and after showing some ability, he remains. The 11-year-old has a strong chance of building on that latest run, with Brian Hughes riding again and knowing him better this time. First-time visor applied.

Sawpit Samantha got this trip well when tried over it for the first time last time, finishing well to take 3rd. The long run in at this track will give her time to get going and she showed on that run 4 weeks ago that she picks up well on good ground. Worsley claims 3lb which offsets the 1lb out the handicap, so she is better off this time than last. Should be able to make her presence felt with a late run today.

Geezer Rockstar ran his best race on good ground in a Class 3 maiden at Ascot last March. Four races since in better class or on softer ground have not been inspiring, but he has dropped 8 lb in the weights and is dropped to a Class 4 event today for return from 6 months off following wind surgery. The win at Ascot came after 83 days off. With the yard in form, he could be fully wound up and has big claims in this if that's the case.
