I always try to find the value in a race. I analyse Handicaps carefully and most my selections will be at double figure odds. However the most important thing is to have fun making and listening or seeing your selection running. Winners are just a pleasurable bonus.

Pop Favorite

Daily Racing

25 EWNAP

@17.00

Lose

-50

Pop Favorite never got involved in his latest run over course and distance a week ago from an inside draw. Still high in the weights, he has a better draw this time, and with a record of six course and distance wins, cannot be ignored.
16:00 4:00 Fairyhouse

Cruisin Susan

Daily Racing

25 EW

@11.00

Lose

-50

Cruisin Susan has been significantly upped in the weight. She had back-to-back wins in August but has not hit the frame since then. Has a chance now back up in trip as she will appreciate the extra three furlongs.
14:00 2:00 Redcar

Loyal Touch

Daily Racing

25 EW

@17.00

Lose

-50

Loyal Touch did not take to the heavy ground at Nottingham three weeks ago. He competed this year in more competitive races including the John Smith Cup without success. This should be more his level and he is capable of out running his odds.
04 November 2024
16:02 4:02 Kempton

Dion Baker

Daily Racing

25 EW

@23.00

Lose

-50

Dion Baker had two decent runs here last month, including over the distance. He has wins on turf, but a win on the All-Weather has so far proved elusive despite having had nineteen attempts. However, he is still good enough to hit the frame at very generous odds.
12:20 12:20 Kempton

Grecian God

Daily Racing

25 EWNAP

@8.00

Lose

-50

Grecian God has run well here without winning, but has placed three times. He is now making his first attempt over a mile. Had excuses on his last run here three weeks ago as he did not have a clear run. The step up in trip may suit.

Wasdell Dundalk

Daily Racing

25 EW

@15.00

Lose

-50

Snipe and Wasdell Dundalk are closely matched on their run here over three miles a fortnight ago. Wasdell Dundalk won by well over a length that day and looks overpriced and the value in this race.
14:25 2:25 Curragh

No More Porter

Daily Racing

25 EW

@31.00

Lose

-50

The English raider Empirestateofmind is of interest, but the value is with the Adrian McGuinness runner No More Porter, who won here over seven furlongs but has come close over a mile. He looks overpriced on his form at the Curragh.
13:55 1:55 Curragh

Harrys Hill

Daily Racing

25 EWNAP

@17.00

Lose

-50

A chance is taken that Harry's Hill will bounce back. He was five lengths behind Apache Outlaw over course and distance a month ago. Both have inside draws, and Harry's Hill may reverse positions this time.
13:25 1:25 Curragh

Eddie G

Daily Racing

25 EW

@13.00

Lose

-50

Of the four Adrian McGuinness runners, Edie G is the one to consider. He has never won on turf but had a recent win at Dundalk. He has come close a couple of times and is versatile with regards to ground conditions. The question is whether the outside draw will help him or hinder him.

Juan Les Pins

Daily Racing

25 EW

@17.00

Lose

-50

Velvet Vulcan

Daily Racing

25 EW

@23.00

Lose

-50

Velvet Vulcan is well exposed over the distance and has had only one win so far. Nevertheless, he is now on such an attractive mark that he has to be considered for the frame.

Hodler

Daily Racing

25 EW

-50

@23.00

Void

0

Both of the Paul Nicholls runners are of interest. Afadil has a great chance, but a chance is taken on Fire Flyer, who did not make the grade in better class races the last two times. He now returns after wind surgery and could surprise.

Plantadream

Daily Racing

25 EWNOTEBest Odds Guaranteed SP 11.00 used instead of 10.00 takenBOG

@11.00

Win

14:05 2:05 Ascot

Matterhorn

Daily Racing

25 EW

@15.00

Lose

-50

A chance is taken that Matterhorn will bounce back after a break of 72 days. He was pulled up in August but completed a four-timer prior to that and should get involved if fully recovered.
13:35 1:35 Down Royal

Banana Three

Daily Racing

25 EW

@34.00

Lose

-50

Polemon

Daily Racing

25 EW

@9.00

Lose

-50

@17.00

Lose

Believe Me Now

Daily Racing

25 EW

@6.00

Lose

-50

18:30 6:30 Dundalk

Polaris Dancer

Daily Racing

25 EW

@8.00

Win

10

25 EW

@10.00

Lose

-50
