Scottielove

Had an interest in Horse Racing for many years now, watching on the TV, reading the form, going racing and having a great day out, all of which are in my eyes superb. Have now taken the plunge and have some shares in a few, which again makes it even more interesting. The feeling you get when you have a winner or three is special and I do back all my tips. If you are serious about betting the best thing you can do is watch as much racing as you can, as this is the best way of studying form. If you can't afford to subscribe to the racing channels then you can always catch up with the racing replays on-line with At the Races, Sporting Life and Skybet all free once registered. Happy Punting!

These big field handicaps should really be avoided, but I'm drawn to Jakajaro, who met interference in the final furlong at Ascot last time. With a clear run, he could have even won. Bound to be traffic issues again for some, and I'm hoping this time it's not my selection.

Point Lynas was an easy winner of this 12 months ago, and although he has not won since, he has shown he still has it. Only 4 starts since, but twice a runner-up in a Group 2 in Doha and a Group 2 at Ascot earlier this month. The drop back into listed class can see him home in front.

I love to think Beraz can come home in front, but he has a long losing spell to overcome. Whereas my selection is on an attractive mark. He is twice a course and distance winner off marks of 77 & 80, and with Mason Paetel taking off 5lb, today's mark stands out at 77. Last seen 45 days ago after a 54-day absence, he finished a decent 3rd of 7 in a race where the form has been franked since.

Should really avoid big field sprint handicaps as they are total lotteries, but when you fancy one, you fancy one. Sugar Baby was an eye-catching 5th of 18 over course and distance 13 days ago (beaten less than 2 lengths) and would have finished closer still when short of room in the last half furlong. Aiden Brookes rides again and off the same mark looks great each way value with 6 places on offer with 365 & Skybet.

Mister Bluebird catches my eye off bottom weight, taking into account the 5lb that Mason Paetel takes off. Comes here in good form after winning over 6f at Goodwood in June before being a runner-up again over 5f at Epsom earlier this month. Does get 7f and looks a nice each way bet at a price.

What a great night of racing at Yarmouth with the return of The Racing League and plenty of value to be had in some very competitive affairs. My selection has been pretty consistent over a range of distances, 6-8f, and will like the ease as he did when 4th of 16 two starts ago at Carlisle. Has been off marks as high as 82, and with a 7lb claim tonight, the mark of 70 looks very attractive.

I'm hoping for no more non-runners, as 3 places would be ideal and my selection could fill one of those. Getting on in years, but when Dallas is right, he still can get the job done. The stiff finish here could well suit his running style, and in a trappy affair, he is good each-way value.

Third of my selections today (try an e/w patent) is the Robert Eddery owned and trained Rising Force. He gets on well with the rising talented Jack Callan and will appreciate the drop back into a class 6 after 3 efforts in higher grades.

I think the Ayr card for a Monday is quite intriguing with definitely some value to be had. I start with Harswell Duke, who has been rather consistent in 2023 without being able to hit the front (yet). Not beaten far in all 4 attempts. Historically, he has run well off marks into the 70s, so 65 today with P J McDonald on top can prove to be a good combo.

After a string of 2nds (all four starts thus far), Homestrait looks to finally break her duck. Unless there's a useful one lurking who hasn't run yet, then today could be the day. She gets a fillies' allowance, so is 5lb better off with her 7 rivals, and the 7f at Doncaster should be better than the stiff 7f she experienced at Newcastle.

You have to respect Daring Legend, but he always seems to find one too good, and I'm hoping that one is Stardancer. Where Daring Legend is exposed, you cannot say that about my selection, who is unexposed/progressive and only a 3-year-old who can put it up to the jolly. Was twice a runner-up in the first three starts before gelded and then had 154 days off. Was seen at Doncaster early June on handicap debut, upped in trip to 7f and finishing a very decent 3rd of 10, beaten 1.5 lengths. The winner that day has since run well in a class 3 and is now rated 88, so hopefully the Clive Cox runner can go well off an opening mark of 77.

Auld Toon Loon is a big price in a very competitive John Smith's Cup and can hopefully grab a place. The William Haggas 3yo looks the obvious choice, but the odds are a little skinny, so I'll take my chance with the selection, who I backed at Royal Ascot but could only manage mid-division. That was over 12f, but he is arguably better at this 10f trip, and with 5 places on offer, he can sneak a place.

Three promising starts in novice/maiden company, and it was definitely promising when 4th of 12 at Sandown mid-June, not beaten that far with the first three home that day with marks 80 and above. An opening handicap mark of 79 to start could look rather generous.

Not yet hit the heights of last season when winning a big sales race at Newmarket in October over 6f. Was a YouTube sensation after that win as he came from an impossible position to win nicely. Was gelded over the winter but has not produced what was hoped of him just yet. Tends to be slowly away, so over 6f that can be tricky to overcome. So the drop in class/weights and the step up to 7f can hopefully get him back to where he has the ability to be.

Three underwhelming starts for Charlie Johnston before moving to Tony Carroll. Has had two starts for new connections, both over 6f and both with 7lb claimer Matthew Lloyd Slater on board. Has shown speed and shown better form, looking as though a try at the minimum 5f is well worth a go. This is bottom drawer handicapping, and off a lowly mark of 42 (on account of 7lb), she could well make her mark tell.

My selection runs off his highest mark yet but doesn't look like he has reached his ceiling just yet. Comes here having won 4 from his last 5 with the other finishing 2nd. Up in grade today and off a new mark, but the way he won 3 days ago when not off the bridle until the last furlong gives the impression there is more to come. 7lb claimer Jack Nicholls takes off a very handy 7lb again (ridden the last twice) and as up a class gets in at the foot of the weights, receiving plenty of weight from all. I also like the profile of the Varian runner, so a saver each way on Khaldiya and even the forecast should be considered.

The very well bred Tropical Heat is on handicap debut after 3 very promising runs in maiden/novice affairs and looks on paper one of the likely winners.

With only 7 runners and bookies offering 3 places, it makes sense to have a look at this class 5 affair. Dereham gets in at the foot of the weights and is a course & distance winner, twice winning this race in '22 & '23. In '22, he was off a mark of 53 (taking into account a 5lb claim), and in '23, his mark was 54 with a claim. He tried his luck last year but could only manage 5th of 6 off 58. Today, he gets in off 52, which looks rather eye-catching, and the fact he arrives in form (one run this year, 2nd of 9) along with the Berry yard also in form, he makes each way appeal.
