Profit is the aim and the first principles applied to all my selections are time, class, weight, trainer and jockey ratings. Everyone has their own systems and methods regarding betting. My own approach, which has evolved over many years, means I won't take a price below 2/1 under any circumstances. The reason is simple. Most of my methods involve a minimum strike rate of 30% overall. Horses below 2/1, even the winners, will only erode the profit over time. Sometimes I will tip/back a favourite - if it is 3/1 or 7/2 say, but as time goes on it becomes clear: there are many, many more bad favourites than good ones. Those wily bookies will often make a horse favourite and create the illusion that it has been heavily backed. Have fun and take care.

She has been ridden various ways and tends to be a bit keen. Drawn 1 tonight and top on the clock so it may be a chance to make all and round off a good day for the trainer.

The front two in the market both know how to win and this is a live chance for the Bell/Crouch double. Already a winner here and could still be well treated.

-50

Should have won before now, so he maybe has an undiagnosed issue. This trip should be ideal, and he certainly has the figures to win. He has faded tamely at the business end of many of his races, so that needs to be overcome.

Cardinal Point

@2.50

75

A bit short for my betting purposes but has the clear advantage on time lines and still has scope for improvement. Another chance for Hector to shine and the trainer has a good hit rate here.

Shimmering Sands

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@4.50

Lose

-50

Three most recent runs have been improving ones and now has the best of the weight rates. Best run was here last year over the same trip. Now 11 points lower which should be a winning mark.
19:15 7:15 Chelmsford City

Juno Star

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@3.75

Lose

-50

She did it nicely at Southwell last week, and that was an apprentice race, so no penalty tonight. The only 3yo in the field and just a good start needed.

Gilthoniel

She is the rag, and the trip is definitely an unknown. But this is her handicap debut, and there are certainly no world-beaters in opposition today.

The Rag of the field but is top on the clock and has dropped to a mark which is below the latest winning effort.

Nunc Est Bibendum

@SP

Not made much impression since coming over from Ireland and now drops down into the worst grade available. Has figures to get involved and has been much more fancied in the market today.

Gaiety Musical

50 WIN

@SP

Lose

-50

Close rated with Aramis Grey and looks the percentage shot in what looks like a very tricky race. It is obviously made more difficult for the riders after the sudden demise of a cherished weighing room colleague.
18:00 6:00 Southwell

One Night Thunder

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@SP

Lose

-50

Only around 25% of races tend to be truly run, so weight and class rates tend to shape the market. It is very tricky to determine beforehand whether a race will go to the class aspect or the time factor. All is clear after the race, of course, but sadly we have to decide before (or for the very brave, during) the action. The selection here is reliant on a decent pace, in which case his superior time figures can come into play.
17:30 5:30 Southwell

Lightning Touch

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@SP

-50

Latest three runs over 12f, so the drop back to 11f may help. This track may also suit better than Newcastle, and time figures suggest a big run today.
17:15 5:15 Chelmsford City

Miss Ayala

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@5.00

Lose

-50

Made all here two back, but next time at Wolves she got eyeballed over half a mile out and, as is often the case, both horses soon faded out of contention. Hector gets on Woody Y Fernandez for the first time and he looks the most likely danger.

Cool Molly

50 WINNAP

@17.00

-50

Another 2yo from a yard likely to produce a much better animal on second run. Of those to have run, apart from the favourite, all are dropping back in trip. The selection is also dropping in class.
16:45 4:45 Chelmsford City

Paranjape

@15.00

The favorite looks worthy but short in the market. Worth a chance on the Woods Runner, which was 80/1 on debut but a lot more fancied today.
16:30 4:30 Southwell

Big Shot Veto

The fav is very short in a dark field and the second favourite, Big Shot Veto has time and weight rates to compare. Stable and rider both in good recent form.

Phantom Shadow

50 WIN

@51.00

Lose

-50

He was completely clueless on debut but the stable has historically been able to turn a 2yo around in a big way between first and second run. No encouragement in the early market but sure to do better today.

Rajeteriat

@34.00

The ground is a bit of an unknown but comes from one of the few stables in form lately and the rider has had a good few weeks having rediscovered some of the form that made her a hot property in the first place.

Sub Thirteen

The stable and rider are on for a treble and it looks very much on the cards with only a four point increase for the recent win.

None of the stables are in blinding form but the Jardine yard has been going reasonably well. The erstwhile champ is booked and the horse is back below winning mark.

Close on ratings with Quaviste, so it may come down to the riders. Whilst Skelton is much improved, he has to be second fav when head to head with the Champ.

The quicker ground will suit and Danny gets back on board today after winning on him at Hexham. Top weight and top rate and can resume the winning thread for the in-form yard.

Drawn wide and didn't get to the front here latest. Two easy wins prior in Scotland and a good draw today. The astute young rider will take advantage of the draw, the softer ground will suit and he can make all.

Claimer ridden when down the course on his hurdles debut at Chepstow. The champ gets on board today and the track and longer trip may suit better.

The ground may be a worry but the champ is booked and he has plenty of winning form on the flat turf. Sure to be fit after a decent effort earlier this month on the sand.

The stable has started in hot form and there will be a big effort towards the trainers' championship. Two decent efforts at Southwell in bumpers and now goes 4f further for hurdles debut which should suit.

Lots of potential for the nap today and the first two have been well beaten. The stable has had a stellar year and may well be No. 1 next year. The rider has also been enjoying an Indian Summer and this one is top on the clock and very consistent.

Hot fav for his handicap debut. That looks significant as the horse has not run for 399 days! The yard has enjoyed a great season and the laconic rider has also edged up the ratings.

Hopefully Cobden and Bowen have been passed fit after the melee in the earlier race. This one is having his fifth run for the trainer and may well have improved for the change of scene.

A tight price on the face of it. He bumped into a couple of nice ones on his latest two starts and hasn't done much wrong. This track will be his first run around a bend and it may well suit.

Closely rated with the main selection on timelines, and the step up to 1m is not certain to suit. If he stays or even improves for the trip, he should be in the shake-up.

Well to the fore on timelines, and the draw does not look like a significant factor on the straight course today. Champ is booked, and this looks like one of his better chances.

Calandagan

Daily Racing

50 WINNAP

@3.20

Win

110

According to official ratings, only four can win. The market has just three, and my figures have just one. Calandagan has the beating of all of these, but he is not a straightforward ride. Hopefully, the rider knows him well enough to adapt to however the race is run. Previously, he has used his power up in the wrong part of the race. His latest two wins, though, especially at Ascot, have shown that a world-class rider is very much needed. Sure to be held up and hopefully produced late in the piece.

Behind the main selection in this race last year, and that was just the start of his problems. Now off the track for a year, he is reportedly fit and well, but the ground may be too fast for him. If allowed to run, I would still expect him to be in the shake-up based on his class alone.

Sometimes it is best not to overlook the obvious. She is a proven G1 winner, a C&D winner and goes on any ground. It would be good for Colin Keane to grab a couple of winners on the big day to cement his promotion.

Another proven Group 1 winner and the trainer has had an exceptional season. The ground may be a slight concern for all those with easier ground preferences today but, when push comes to shove, the best ones can deliver on any ground.
