Barking Dog's Tips History

29 October 2025

15:53 3:53 Newton Abbot

Crystal Orchard

Daily Racing

75 EWNAP

@34.00

Lose

-150

Crystal Orchard appears a likely improver, and I take a chance that Team Tizzard can step up to the task and give us a big-priced nap.

28 October 2025

20:30 8:30 Wolverhampton

Enzos Angel

Daily Racing

75 EW

@29.00

Lose

-150

Encosta Angel looks an outsider to be looked at seriously in such a week race. Neil Mullholland has his team in very good form and each way worth a bet

19:30 7:30 Wolverhampton

Haddiah

Daily Racing

100 EW

@23.00

Lose

-200

Haddiah looks like a horse with a decent future for Andrew Balding at lower levels of racing. To run lower down races, you need a horse who can run different tracks well and like all forms of going, plus sand. Haddiah is good each way at 22/1.

17:00 5:00 Wolverhampton

My Boy Jack

Daily Racing

100 EWNB

@12.00

Win

120

My Boy Jack runs fairly well at Wolverhampton, and he tries to come with a rattle in the finishing straight. If he is on their coat-tails, they had better watch out.

15:10 3:10 Catterick

Cold Henry

Daily Racing

200 WINNAP

@5.50

Lose

-200

Cold Henry looks to have a great chance at these weights. It's a race of a few chances, but I do think that Cold Henry stands out on form.

27 October 2025

20:30 8:30 Wolverhampton

Gustav Graves

Daily Racing

100 EWNBNOTETip made at odds of 11.00 on 27/10 at 05:350.00 deduction for Kento@17.00 withdrawn at 08:110.10 deduction for Beauzon @7.000 withdrawn at 13:07R4 Adjusted Odds = 1 + 10.00 x (1-0.1) = 10.00

@10.00

Win

Gustav Graves has shown better form than what's needed to win this. So if Derek Shaw has him in fine fettle, then Gustav Graves could be concerned in the finish of the race.

20:00 8:00 Wolverhampton

Orbaan

Daily Racing

200 EW

@23.00

Win

680

Orbaan from Richard Hannon's yard has a real chance of going close here for David O'Meara. His form has a 'hidden progression' in it and can take this at a huge price.

18:00 6:00 Wolverhampton

Embarked

Daily Racing

100 EWNAP

@26.00

Lose

-200

Scott Dixon finds the odd big-priced winner at all-weather tracks, and this Embarked could be another one that fits the bill. Let's go our nap on this.

26 October 2025

17:51 5:51 Star Pelaw

Marleypark Ken

Daily Races

100 WIN

@2.00

Win

100

Has the advantage of the draw in a four-dog race. Should lead them from this box and make all the running to win very comfortably.

16:30 Everton v Tottenham

Everton

50 WIN

@2.45

Lose

-50

Everton are reorganized under David Moyes and can take three points on home soil by beating Tottenham in what looks like a competitive match.

14:00 Arsenal v Crystal Palace

Draw

50 WIN

@4.50

Lose

-50

Can Crystal Palace sneak a draw at Arsenal? They are good defensively, and I think they can stand the Arsenal battering to come away with a valuable point.

14:00 Aston Villa v Man City

Aston Villa

50 WIN

@4.33

Win

166

Finally, Aston Villa are coming together, and they can continue their pattern by beating Man City at home on Sunday. Tight game with edge towards Villa.

14:00 Bournemouth v Nottm Forest

Bournemouth

50 WIN

@1.70

Win

I fancy Bournemouth to give Nottingham Forest the runaround and inflict yet another defeat. Forest, in my book, will be lucky to avoid relegation this season unless drastic improvements are made.

14:00 Wolverhampton v Burnley

Burnley

50 WIN

@4.25

Win

162

Burnley won last week and can score a narrow away victory at struggling Wolves. Not anticipating a match of quality, just dour midfield and defensive, with the odd goal going to Burnley.

12:40 12:40 Aintree

Kikijo

Daily Racing

50 EWNAP

@5.50

Lose

-5

Kikijo for Phillip Hobbs and Johnson White has run well off a break before, and this looks winnable. Good apprentice in Callum Pritchard and worthy of our nap today.

25 October 2025

20:00 Brentford v Liverpool

Liverpool

50 WIN

@1.73

Lose

-50

Liverpool must win this to keep in a challenging position in the Premier League. They have slipped up on different occasions this season and strive for consistency. They should win here.

17:30 Man Utd v Brighton

Brighton

50 WIN

@3.40

Lose

-50

Brighton are no forlorn hopes to beat Manchester United at Old Trafford. Man United have no consistency and could beat themselves at times. Brighton are to be feared.

17:25 5:25 Wolverhampton

Vintage Heat

Daily Racing

100 WIN

@SP

Lose

-100

Vintage Heat looks to have a decent opportunity to get his head in front, and this is a weak race. He has a decent draw and must play from the stalls opening.

@3.75

Lose

-45

Waterford was a pretty smart hurdler, but he is bred for chasing. He had his first run but finished with running left, as if it was a training exercise. He should step up today at Galway.

15:00 Chelsea v Sunderland

Chelsea

50 WIN

@1.42

Lose

-50

Chelsea are doing well and climbing the table. It's quite likely they could demolish Sunderland with a good performance to claim three points

15:00 Newcastle v Fulham

Newcastle

50 WIN

@1.62

Win

Newcastle, fresh from success in Europe, can see off Fulham at home. Newcastle seem to have their act together now and are concentrating on building a run to move up the league table.

14:00 2:00 Newbury

Passing Thought

Daily Racing

50 EWNB

@SP

Lose

-100

Passing Thought for Ed Walker could step up here and win this race. Looked to be an improver when he last ran. Good booking in Shoemark.

24 October 2025

20:00 Leeds v West Ham

Leeds

50 WIN

@2.05

Win

Leeds need to boost themselves with a home win against struggling West Ham. West Ham do not appear to have the players to compete in this league.

16:15 4:15 Southwell

Rajak

Daily Racing

50 EWNB

@34.00

Lose

-100

Michael Bell doesn't have too many 33/1 shots at Southwell, but Rajak is rightly that price. It is rumored to have been working very well on the gallops. With PJ McDonald aboard, a 'squeak of a chance'? Each way, very good price.

15:18 3:18 Doncaster

Rhoscolyn

Daily Racing

50 EW

@17.00

Lose

-100

David O'Meara sometimes comes into a race like this and comes surprisingly up with a big-priced winner. This horse has been working well at home.

13:15 1:15 Cheltenham

Saint Anapolino

Daily Racing

50 EWNAP

@26.00

Lose

-100

Saint Anapolino for Phillip Hobbs and Johnson White could be the answer to a very difficult opener at Cheltenham today. The horse landed a hat-trick of wins in January and February. Could go close. Five each way places.

23 October 2025

19:15 7:15 Chelmsford City

Summer Heat

Daily Racing

50 EWNAP

@3.50

Lose

-100

Summer Heat for Said Bin Suroor ridden by Oisin Murphy looks to have a really good opportunity here tonight at Chelmsford. The horse ran well last time in only her second handicap. Looks the one to be with today.

16:27 4:27 Southwell

Nelson Gay

Daily Racing

25 EWNBNOTEBest Odds Guaranteed SP 13.00 used instead of 8.50 takenBOG

@13.00

Win

Nelson Gay looks ready to strike today. Has won off higher handicap marks and today is a weaker race. Decent claimer onboard and it's an apprentice race. 7/1 big price... go each way.

22 October 2025

20:10 8:10 Kempton

Dream Of Mischief

Daily Racing

25 EWNB

@5.50

Lose

-50

Dream Of Mischief ran well when winning with plenty in hand last time. This race is well winnable today, and four each way places too.

19:45 Swansea v QPR

Swansea

50 WIN

@2.15

Lose

-50

Swansea surely can see off Queens Park Rangers tonight at home. Rangers are inconsistent but look likely to taste defeat tonight.

19:45 Wrexham v Oxford Utd

Wrexham

50 WIN

@2.00

Win

Wrexham need to win tonight to start moving away from the relegation zone. They are finding life in this division tough, and unless they get to grips with it, they will be drawn into the dogfight for relegation.

19:10 7:10 Kempton

Four places each way and a horse that finished second to Sky Safari over course and distance in September in a higher grade. Our nap of the day.

15:45 3:45 Worcester

King Ulanda

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@2.25

Lose

-50

King Ulanda runs off the same rating as when winning last time. He should follow up in a race where ratings are in his favor now. Double up from last run... let's hope for it.

15:22 3:22 Navan

Cluain Peata

Daily Racing

25 EW

@12.00

-50

Cluain Peata has every chance of winning here in a tight race. Don't be put off by the price, as it seems likely he too can improve today.

14:12 2:12 Navan

Oceans Breath

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@2.10

Lose

-50

Ocean's Breath, a colt out of Bated Breath, looks likely to win in his second racecourse appearance. Ridden by Colin Keane for Ger Lyons, he kept on in his debut and looks like a winner waiting to happen.

13:00 1:00 Worcester

Wendigo

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@1.91

Lose

-50

Diego looks like the one to side with here. It's a poor race in its entirety, but our selection runs for Jamie Snowden and Gavin Sheehan. Looking like a winner in a poor race.

21 October 2025

20:30 8:30 Newcastle

Profit Street

Daily Racing

100 EWNAP

@4.00

Lose

-200

Profit Street ran quite well but needed the run after six months off. Looks well in here at Newcastle off a 55 rating and surely will take all the beating. He was rated higher when going with Nigel Tinker and now 55. Speaks for itself.

19:45 Boston Utd v Morecambe

Boston Utd

50 WIN

@1.90

Lose

-50

Boston, I feel, look a good priced bet here at home to struggling Morecambe. I think a win tonight will take them a few places higher in the table.

19:45 Eastleigh v Scunthorpe

Eastleigh

50 WIN

@3.30

Lose

-50

Eastleigh are better at home, and I fancy Scunthorpe are a little tired now and could fall away in this league. Eastleigh are full of seasoned campaigners who can grind this game out.

19:45 Hull v Leicester

Draw

50 WIN

@3.60

Lose

-50

A draw looks best here with Hull playing well at home and Leicester difficult to break down. There will be chances, but I still fancy a draw.

19:45 Ipswich v Charlton

Ipswich

50 WIN

@1.65

Lose

-50

Ipswich need the three points vs. Charlton to get back into contention for a playoff spot. Charlton are just above Ipswich in the current table, but positions could be reversed at the end of the game.

19:45 Millwall v Stoke

Draw

50 WIN

@3.25

Lose

-50

This looks like a banker draw with few goals. Neither team is very strong upfront, and I feel goals will be few. It looks like a game dominated by defenders and midfield, with not too much in the striking departments.

19:45 Portsmouth v Coventry

Coventry

50 WIN

@1.91

Win

Coventry are on a roll, and it will take a very strong show from Portsmouth to stop the leaders from winning here. Coventry under Lampard is looking good.

19:45 Swindon v Notts County

Swindon

50 WIN

@2.15

Lose

-50

Swindon are a team to be reckoned with since a few good signings, including Ollie Palmer, who normally chips in with a goal or two.

19:45 York v Boreham Wood

York

50 WIN

@1.70

Lose

-50

York have a tough game here against Boreham Wood, but I think that the better form they are now showing can see them winning and trying to cement a place in the play-off zone.

20 October 2025

20:00 West Ham v Brentford

West Ham

50 WIN

@2.60

Lose

-50

Nuno is going to start his West Ham home manager's game with a win vs. Brentford tonight. The crowd will see a different West Ham tonight... tight at the back, strong going forward. Three points, here we come.

16:55 4:55 Wolverhampton

Beautiful Dawn

Daily Racing

50 EWNAP

@3.50

Lose

-100

Beautiful Dawn joined James Owen two months ago and is building up to something, I feel, starting Monday night. She has dropped handicap ratings from 76 down to 47 in 17 runs with Derek Shaw. James Owen has given the horse a few runs, and she wins Monday.

19 October 2025

Velvet Devil

Daily Racing

@3.25

Velvet Devil is well-suited by the terms of this race with weight, ratings, and rider. We expect a very good showing and it should win comfortably.

19:10 19:10 Woodbine

Souper Success

Daily Racing

100 WIN

@SP

Lose

-100

Souper Success looks like the horse to take this race, considering the weight allowances and rider in the race. It should take it up in the final furlong and go clear.

Tareze was a pretty reasonable hurdler, finishing fourth behind Aurora Vega in the Grade 1 Hurdle at Fairyhouse. A very decent opportunity.

16:30 Liverpool v Man Utd

Liverpool

50 WIN

@1.60

Lose

-50

Liverpool should have the players and know-how to take the full three points against a poor-looking team from Man Utd. Three points are essential here for Liverpool to keep tabs on high-flying Arsenal.

16:06 4:06 Sedgefield

Bumpy Evans

Daily Racing

Bumpy Evans won with considerable ease last time and is expected to continue his progress and take this handicap at Sedgefield.

@6.00

-50

Trustyourinstinct looks to have a fair chance of landing this race and could go very well for owner JP McManus. Each way looks like the most sensible bet.

14:00 Tottenham v Aston Villa

Aston Villa

50 WIN

@3.60

Win

130

Aston Villa have won their last two games, and Unai Emery has yet to be beaten by Thomas Frank. Villa seem to have a decent rhythm going at the moment and could take three points from Tottenham.

13:55 1:55 Leopardstown

Maestro Bernstein

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@2.38

-50

Maestro Bernstein from Aidan O'Brien's yard looks ready to progress to the winner's enclosure. Well-bred and capable of landing this type of race.
