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.

17:10 5:10 Pontefract

Holbache

Daily Racing

25 EW

@15.00

Lose

-50

Another wide-open handicap with plenty of chances. One of the outsiders, Holbache, has an excellent record here. He did not impress in his recent two runs and is high in the weights, but has won both of his races over course and distance and could surprise at double figures.

16:40 4:40 Pontefract

Uppercase

Daily Racing

25 EWNAP

@17.00

Win

In a difficult race to unravel, a speculative chance is taken on Uppercase. He ran well in his first three races, finishing 3 - 3 - 4. These were all on the All Weather, and he is now making his handicap and turf debut. He could go well despite having an outside draw, and being upped in trip may help.

07 July 2025

16:40 4:40 Ayr

Trais Fluors

Daily Racing

25 EW

@17.00

Lose

-50

Trais Fluors returns after a two-month break. He placed 3rd here in May and his last win was last December, but he has placed a couple of times since then. Could sneak into a place.

16:05 4:05 Ayr

Baby Rover

Daily Racing

25 EW

@17.00

Win

Baby Rover won at Redcar on her last run last month. She had been close prior to that race and could follow up in suitable conditions. Each way hopeful.

I Need Your Love

Daily Racing

25 EW

@17.00

Lose

-50

I Need Your Love has had the benefit of a recent run. He placed 4th at Pontefract a month ago. He won over six furlongs at Redcar last September and could go well hitting the frame.

14:30 2:30 Ayr

Monhammer

Daily Racing

25 EW

@41.00

Lose

-50

Monhammer returns after a break of ten months. His last win was in May last year over course and distance. He can go well fresh and has a good record at Ayr so is being considered for the frame.

14:00 2:00 Ayr

Coulsea

Daily Racing

25 EWNAP

@41.00

Lose

-50

Coulsea got found out in a Class 2 at York in May where he placed last. He is now making his handicap debut and is being upped in trip. This should be more suitable for him and he could outrun his odds.

06 July 2025

16:40 4:40 Ayr

That Lucas Fella

Daily Racing

25 EW

@8.50

Win

That Lucas Fella is still a maiden but has recently showed some improvement with two second places. He seems to enjoy the step up in trip and could get involved again.

16:05 4:05 Ayr

Starliner

Daily Racing

25 EW

@17.00

Lose

-50

Chance is taken that Starliner could bounce back. He placed 8th of 14 at Newcastle. He did not have the best of draw in that race and prior to that was a model of consistency. Could do well again.

15:30 3:30 Ayr

Kelpie Grey

Daily Racing

25 EWNOTEBest Odds Guaranteed SP 26.00 used instead of 23.00 takenBOG

@26.00

Win

100

Kelpie Grey returns after a break of ten months. He completed a hat trick earlier last year, followed by four reasonable but not inspiring runs. He has gone well fresh in the past, so could figure if on song.

13:45 1:45 Ayr

Parisiac

Daily Racing

25 EWNAPNOTETip made at odds of 6.50 on 06/07 at 00:540.25 deduction for Woohoo@4.00 withdrawn at 13:49R4 Adjusted Odds = 1 + 5.50 x (1-0.25) = 5.13

@5.13

Win

128

Parisiac won over course and distance eleven months ago. He is very consistent, having not finished out of the frame in his last five races. He has a decent amateur jockey on board and should get very close from a favourable draw.

20:00 8:00 Bellewstown

Down Around

Daily Racing

25 EW

@23.00

Lose

-50

Down Around has had two poor recent runs in competitive races. He is being dropped in grade and reunited with a jockey who gets the best out of him. One to consider for the frame.

19:30 7:30 Bellewstown

Jaadil

Daily Racing

25 EW

@41.00

Win

175

A chance is taken on Jaadil, who placed 7th of 16 at Sligo just under a month ago. That does not look impressive on paper, but she was badly hampered early in the race and still rallied. Could do better now if getting a better run.

18:30 6:30 Bellewstown

Kaptain Bay

Daily Racing

25 EW

@26.00

Lose

-50

Kaptain Bay returns to hurdles after a mediocre performance on the flat at Leopardstown. Could go well if well adjusted after flat performance. Each way possibilities.

Rhoscolyn

Daily Racing

25 EW

@13.00

Lose

-50

Rhoscolyn showed a return to form when placing 3rd at Epsom a month ago. A previous course and distance winner, he could build on his last run and hit the frame again.

16:12 4:12 Sandown

Gilet

Daily Racing

25 EW

@11.00

Lose

-50

Gilet has had only one win so far, and that was on the All Weather. However, he has shown some remarkable improvement in his last two runs that puts him in the frame.

15:50 3:50 Haydock

Devils Angel

Daily Racing

25 EW

@26.00

Lose

-50

In a wide-open handicap with plenty of chances, Devils Angel is of interest. The Irish raider has had two decent runs recently with a win at Navan and a good 4th place at Fairyhouse. He has had a course and distance win in the past and could surprise at large odds.

15:15 3:15 Haydock

City Of Delight

Daily Racing

25 EWNAP

@11.00

Lose

-50

City Of Delight has been very consistent over ten furlongs with several wins to his name and a second place latest. He is now being upped in trip but should still give a good account of himself.

Ambishio

Daily Racing

25 EWNOTETip made at odds of 10.00 on 05/07 at 13:570.10 deduction for Mission Classified@7.00 withdrawn at 14:53R4 Adjusted Odds = 1 + 9.00 x (1-0.10) = 9.10

@9.10

14:25 2:25 Sandown

Mirsky

Daily Racing

25 EW

@9.00

Lose

-50

Mirsky did too much too soon in the Buckingham Palace Stakes. Now back up to a mile, he could bounce back and get involved.

14:05 2:05 Haydock

Many Men

Daily Racing

25 EW

@6.00

Lose

-50

Many Men won at Doncaster a month ago, beating Novelista by a neck. He has not secured the best of draws but is in excellent form and should be thereabouts again.

13:50 1:50 Sandown

Queen All Star

Daily Racing

25 EW

@9.00

Lose

-50

Queen All Star comes here seeking a hat trick. She has been progressing with each race, and whilst this is another significant step up in class, she could still get involved.

04 July 2025

18:40 6:40 Haydock

Dream Angel

Daily Racing

25 EW

@12.00

Lose

-50

Dream Angel won over a mile latest. She is now being upped in trip again and could figure in an open handicap if staying the extra two furlongs.

Think About It

Daily Racing

25 EW

@7.00

Lose

-50

Daily Racing

25 EW

@10.00

Aliunde

Daily Racing

25 EW

@26.00

Lose

-50

A chance is taken on Aliunde, who has made two poor runs this year, including being pulled up at Roscommon a month ago. However, he has a chance on last year's form if bouncing back and is an each-way potential.

16:35 4:35 Doncaster

Amayretto

Daily Racing

25 EW

@6.50

Lose

-50

Amayretto comes here seeking a hat trick. She won over course and distance in April and followed it up with another win at Redcar in May. Despite an outside draw and being upped in weight, she is expected to be thereabouts again.

14:40 2:40 Wexford

Good Bye Milan

Daily Racing

25 EW

@11.00

Lose

-50

Course and distance winner Good Bye Milan can be hit or miss. She placed a distant third on her last run in May at Tipperary. She has done well in the past with Danny Mullins in the saddle.

25 EWNAP

@10.00

Lose

-50

03 July 2025

17:57 5:57 Bellewstown

Navorrosse

Daily Racing

25 EW

@13.00

Lose

-50

17:35 5:35 Tipperary

Free Flow

Daily Racing

25 EW

@17.00

Lose

-50

Free Flow placed 8th of 16 at Listowel just over a month ago. He is now being dropped in grade and distance to two miles, which should be more suitable for him, giving him a chance to hit the frame.

25 EWNOTEBest Odds Guaranteed SP 11.00 used instead of 10.00 takenBOG

@11.00

Spanish Mane

Daily Racing

25 EWNAP

@21.00

Lose

-50

Spanish Mane impressed on her stable debut in April when she was beaten by a neck by Marmoga over course and distance. She has since disappointed in her subsequent three races and it is hoped that a return to Yarmouth may bring a revival.

18:38 6:38 Roscommon

Flying Fortress

Daily Racing

25 EW

Shine On Brendan

Daily Racing

@15.00

Win

Shine On Brendan has not hit last year's form in his three runs so far. He usually does well with Kaiya Fraser on board, and being a previous course and distance winner, he could hit the frame this time.

Lose

-50

Dinoland returns after a long absence of 284 days. He won two and placed second twice in his last five races last year. He has gone well fresh in the past, so he has to be considered for the frame.
