Barking Dog's Tips History

12 December 2025

20:00 West Brom v Sheff Utd

Sheff Utd

50 WIN

@3.00

Lose

-50

Sheffield United are showing much better form and look capable of beating West Bromwich tonight away from home. Worth a bet.

16:45 4:45 Dundalk

Final Melody

Daily Racing

50 EWNAPNOTENon runners at 10.0 or more so no R4 deduction

@3.75

Lose

-16

Final Melody is a useful 2yo filly who gets a 5 lb fillies' allowance in this race. In a handicap she would carry top weight. Well placed by her trainer here.

12:05 12:05 Cheltenham

Old Park Star

Daily Racing

50 EWNBNOTEBest Odds Guaranteed SP 3.50 used instead of 3.25 takenBOG

@3.50

Win

150

Old Park Star was placed in three bumpers for Paul Nicholls but then moved to Nicky Henderson, and a big transition took place with drastic improvement shown. Looks a very capable horse.

11 December 2025

18:30 6:30 Chelmsford City

New Bay Star

Daily Racing

50 EW

@4.33

Lose

-17

Strong each-way on New Bay Star with Billy Loughnane onboard. The horse appears to have a huge chance in this restricted novice event.

14:58 2:55 Warwick

Haut Folin

Daily Racing

50 EW

@10.00

Lose

-100

Haut Folin for Venetia Williams is below his last winning mark and has won first time out too. Let's go each way as he loves the softer ground.

13:20 1:20 Punchestown

Echoing Silence

Daily Racing

50 EW

@3.50

Win

156

Echoing Silence for Henry de Bromhead should get very competitive. He strongly deserves a chance to win races. Could easily be today?

12:58 12:55 Warwick

Moneygarrow

Daily Racing

100 WINNAP

@2.75

Win

175

Moneygarrow for the Skeltons makes huge appeal. He has graded racing form and is also the best bumper horse in this race. There are dangers, but it will need a very good one to beat him.

11:50 11:50 Punchestown

Harvard Guy

Daily Racing

50 EWNB

@10.00

Lose

-100

Harvard Guy is the best hurdler in this field, loves heavy ground. The trip might be a little on the short side, but this stiff track should play to his strengths.

10 December 2025

20:00 Hull v Wrexham

Draw

100 WIN

@3.45

Lose

-100

Hull and Wrexham have been playing well, but I can't see either side winning this game as they are so even. Defence just shades the decision.

19:45 Crewe v Newport County

Crewe

100 WIN

@1.61

Lose

-100

Crewe can take down Newport County at home tonight and add further misery to the results of the Welsh side. Crewe could run riot here.

19:45 Derby v Millwall

Draw

100 WIN

@3.10

Win

210

Derby v Millwall: I think it will be a draw, with neither team giving an inch. This game is going to be fought in defense and midfield, with few chances.

19:45 Oldham v Walsall

Draw

100 WIN

@3.20

Lose

-100

Walsall go to Oldham in good form but will need to be at their best to avoid defeat at Boundary Park. A big play here is a draw.

16:25 4:25 Kempton

Pierchic

Daily Racing

100 WINNAP

@1.73

Lose

-100

Pierchic has the penalty to give away and possible decent newcomers in this race of unknown quantities. We think this is a good horse in the making and up to the task.

15:25 3:25 Hexham

Stick With Me Sam

Daily Racing

50 EWNOTEBest Odds Guaranteed SP 4.20 used instead of 3.50 takenBOG

@4.20

Win

192

Stick With Me Sam looks the answer to this race at Hexham. His form looks of superior quality to that of his opponents.

15:10 3:10 Dundalk

Heavens Wish

Daily Racing

100 WINNB

@1.83

Win

Heavens Wish looks very interesting here and should take advantage of things by winning this race at Dundalk, which represents a decent opportunity.

09 December 2025

19:45 Bromley v Crawley Town

Bromley

50 WIN

@1.75

Win

Bromley are fancied to get up a division, and their consistency will be rewarded with a victory here v Crawley, assuming no complacency.

19:45 Mansfield v Bolton

Bolton

50 WIN

@1.80

Win

Bolton are on a recovery mission tonight after a thrashing in the FA Cup against Swindon. I think the rollicking they had from the manager will bring back effort and positive play tonight.

19:45 Port Vale v Bradford

Bradford

50 WIN

@2.40

Void

Bradford look likely to come to lowly Port Vale with every chance. Bradford are challenging for promotion, with Vale holding up the table.

19:45 Sheff Utd v Norwich

Sheff Utd

50 WIN

@1.65

Lose

-50

Sheffield United are now playing much better and are expected to inflict a defeat on a struggling Norwich, whose form has been terrible so far this season.

19:45 Southampton v West Brom

Southampton

50 WIN

@1.83

Win

Southampton are fancied to beat West Brom tonight and step up the table after a shaky start to the season. They are a fair team at home and hard to beat.

19:45 Swindon v Cheltenham

Swindon

50 WIN

@1.42

Lose

-50

Swindon are going well and have the players in their squad able to take them back to League One. Three points must not get away today.

19:45 Watford v Sheff Wed

Watford

50 WIN

@1.55

Lose

-50

Watford should have enough firepower to see off Sheffield Wednesday, who have been dismal on and off the field of late. If Watford are in top form, a few goals can be expected.

14:00 2:00 Uttoxeter

Baron Noir

Daily Racing

100 WINNAP

@1.40

Win

Baron Moir looks a 'penalty kick' for Alan King at Uttoxeter. His form is far superior to today's opponents, so a really top run is expected today from the Baron.

13:30 1:30 Uttoxeter

Carismatic Soldier

Daily Racing

100 WINNB

@2.10

Lose

-100

Carismatic Soldier looks to be a gelding, certain to win soon in handicap company. He has the right race today, and it will be a surprise if he does not come home in charge.

11:50 11:50 Punchestown

Harvard Guy

Daily Racing

50 EWNAP

@8.50

Void

Harvard Guy was the best hurdler of these and was given a very easy introduction to chasing on his seasonal reappearance. Today he is expected to step up on his favoured heavy ground. Our NAP today

08 December 2025

20:00 8:00 Wolverhampton

Candy Warhol

Daily Racing

25 EWNOTENon runners at 10.0 or more so no R4 deduction

@15.00

Win

Candy Warhol runs for Scott Dixon, and he does well at Wolverhampton with horses like this. He should be a big price, but the horse doesn't know that.

20:00 Wolverhampton v Man Utd

Wolverhampton

50 WIN

@5.50

Lose

-50

Wolves to win. They are at home, and effort could be the issue against a mediocre Manchester United side. I think Wolves can notch a win tonight.

13:15 1:15 Musselburgh

Newport

Daily Racing

100 WINNB

@4.33

Win

333

Newport was with Eoin Doyle in Ireland and ran well on stable debut for Iain Jardine. We can expect him to go very close at Musselburgh on Monday.

12:07 12:07 Lingfield

Sheikh Raj

Daily Racing

50 EWNAP

@4.50

Lose

-15

Sheikh Raj looks to have a big chance on Monday, having been dropped 2 lb by the handicapper and dropped in grade from Class 3 to Class 5. Billy Loughnane on board. Many positive vibes.

07 December 2025

20:30 Tondela v FC Porto

FC Porto

50 WIN

@1.25

Win

Porto look set for another victory here tonight. Overconfidence is the main obstacle to prevent a clear result for the quality side that Porto have.

20:00 Real Madrid v Celta Vigo

Real Madrid

50 WIN

@1.29

Lose

-50

Real Madrid should win this against a very defensive-minded Celta Vigo. If on top, Real Madrid could hit five or more goals here.

19:45 Lorient v Lyon

Lyon

50 WIN

@2.05

Lose

-50

Lyon are firmly getting back on the upward trail after struggling in the doldrums for some time. Positive play will produce goals tonight.

19:45 Napoli v Juventus

Draw

50 WIN

@3.00

Lose

-50

A draw, with defenses dominating the situation, as both teams struggle for supremacy. Both were giants in their day but I can't see either winning tonight.

16:30 Fulham v Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace

100 WIN

@2.80

Win

180

Crystal Palace are fifth in the Premier League and going well. Fulham are a run-of-the-mill side, grabbing a point here and there to try to ensure survival in the league. Palace look a strong bet on Sunday.

15:30 Gateshead v Walsall

Walsall

500 WIN

@1.48

Win

240

Walsall look different gravy to a rather poor and struggling Gateshead. Overconfidence is Walsall's main danger, and if they are in the mood to win, they can get into the third round where one of the big teams might come out of the hat.

15:15 3:15 Kelso

Spectacularsunrise

Daily Racing

100 WIN

@1.67

Win

Spectacular Sunrise looks a very decent horse in the making and is strongly fancied to follow up here at Kelso today. Useful apprentice claiming 5 lb on board.

15:00 3:00 Huntingdon

Saint Sam

Daily Racing

50 EWNAP

@3.50

Lose

-100

Saint Sam travels across to Huntingdon for the Peterborough Chase. The Irish invader's yard is getting more and more to top form, and he can take this, as Venetia's horses are not at top form yet.

14:15 2:15 Cork

Kalypsochance

Daily Racing

100 WIN

@2.10

Lose

-100

Gordon Elliott has his team in good form, and Kalypsochance has a favourite's chance in this Grade 3 three-mile race at Cork. She should take this contest.

06 December 2025

19:45 Carlisle v Woking

Carlisle

50 WIN

@1.40

Void

Carlisle look like a side who could go back up to the Football League by playoff or automatic promotion. No slip-ups needed here.

18:00 6:00 Wolverhampton

Al Baahy

Daily Racing

50 EWNAPNOTEBest Odds Guaranteed SP 9.50 used instead of 7.50 takenBOG

@9.50

Win

Al Baahy has been a disappointment of late, but this is a very weak race and there are four each-way places. With Billy Loughnane riding, I give this horse one last spin of the dice to come good on a very hard day.

17:30 Leeds v Liverpool

Liverpool

50 WIN

@1.91

Lose

-50

Liverpool are a confident choice to go to Leeds tonight despite their dip in form. The game should feature hard tackles and spirited play from Leeds, but the three points are fancied back at Anfield.

15:00 Forest Green v Solihull Moors

Forest Green

50 WIN

@1.50

Lose

-50

Forest Green are going well and are up there contesting play-off places. Automatic promotion is not ruled out. They should be able to beat struggling Solihull.

15:00 Rochdale v Southend

Rochdale

50 WIN

@2.10

Void

Top-of-the-table Rochdale are on an upward curve, and they look a good bet to see off seventh-placed Southend. It could be tight, with Rochdale shading it.

12:30 Aston Villa v Arsenal

Draw

50 WIN

@3.50

Lose

-50

This is going to be a tight, disciplined game where I can't see either side winning, so I am going for a draw. Aston Villa are playing well, so Arsenal need to tread carefully against a previous manager.

12:30 Watford v Norwich

Watford

50 WIN

@1.85

Win

Watford should be able to beat a poor-looking Norwich side who have struggled from the first whistle of the season. Watford are usually strong at home.

05 December 2025

19:15 7:15 Newcastle

Aisling Oscar

Daily Racing

100 WINNBNOTEBest Odds Guaranteed SP 2.75 used instead of 2.10 takenBOG

@2.75

Win

175

Aisling Oscar looks to be a big player here after winning here over a mile on Tuesday. Won easily; a hat-trick awaits here.

17:45 5:45 Newcastle

Teardrops

Daily Racing

100 WINNAPNOTEBest Odds Guaranteed SP 3.75 used instead of 2.62 takenBOG

@3.75

Win

275

Teardrops won over course and distance on 26 November and should be up to carrying the penalty of 7 lbs for that win on the same 0??"60 grade.

13:33 1:33 Sedgefield

Bathgate

Daily Racing

50 EWNOTENon runners at 10.0 or more so no R4 deduction

@3.75

Win

165

Bet365 are offering three each-way places in this seven-runner race. If in the same form as today at Market Rasen, Bathgate could take this weak contest.

04 December 2025

20:30 8:30 Chelmsford City

Dingwall

Daily Racing

100 WINNAP

@2.25

Lose

-100

Dingwall should get his compensation for a drastic disqualification by the stewards at Wolverhampton last Monday. I think that was very poor, considering the young apprentice on board.

20:00 Man Utd v West Ham

Draw

100 WIN

@5.25

Win

425

West Ham can come to Old Trafford and take a point if they play to protect their goal mouth at all times. Concentration is important at all times.

12:20 12:20 Market Rasen

Bathgate

Daily Racing

100 WINNB

@2.38

Lose

-100

Bathgate should be winning something soon with the small respite from the handicapper. Looks sure to progress here at Market Rasen.
