Of my selections on Tuesday, we had a couple of 5/6 winners, E Street Boy and Deauville Post. Today was tricky, with the most impressive winner being Sizing India, in the Ludlow bumper, who may now be Punchestown bound for the Henderson team. Ride of the Day went to Jamie Spencer for his ride on Strong Vigilance at Wolverhampton.
Tomorrow's racing brings two jumps and flat meetings, my selections are: Nadeen (3.20 Musselburgh), Bahamian Kid (5.20 Musselburgh), Finlay (4.30 Newcastle), Tatispout (3.40 Stratford), Norwest (4.10 Stratford), Twinkled (7.40 Wolverhampton) and Amelia's Suprise (8.40 Wolverhampton).
Best selections are Bahamian Kid, who reappears for another new yard with a top young jockey on, Tatispout, who was a tad unlucky not to win last time, Norwest, for the Jim Best-McCoy combination and Amelia's Suprise, who will be much sharper for her debut last summer.
Jumps Nap is Tatispout and Overall is Amelia's Suprise
Finally Fremont and Axiom are both running in the Lincoln, Axiom 25/1, Fremont only 11/1 now (both advertised at 33/1 on March 20)
Good Luck

Fremen to blitz the turf
Today's racing was hard, but sometimes obvious with Bold Addition and Qozak winning at very skinny odds. Ride of the Day went to Natalia Gemelova for her ride on Cativo Cavallino, which was not bad at all for a 5 pound claimer at Lingfield.
Tomorrow kicks off the Flat Turf season at Catterick, these are my selections: Mason Hindmarsh (3.20 Catterick), Fremen (3.50 Catterick), E Street Boy (4.10 Hereford), Franklin Roosevelt (5.10 Hereford), Miss Firefly E/W (3.00 Lingfield), Deaville Post (4.30 Lingfield), Baharat (7.00 Wolverhampton), Kai Mook (8.30 Wolverhampton).
Main selections are Fremen, who is the most well in in a moderate claimer, and has won numerous similar races to this one, E Street Boy should make it 2 for the week and Deauville Post should go really well at leafy Lingfield.
Jumps nap is E Street Boy, Overall is Deauville Post

She could be On The Case
Today's racing was very difficult, and we just had a winning nap in Paint The Clouds at a depressing 1/2. Ride of the day goes to Edward Lineham for his good hold-up ride on Charingworth up at Hexham. He crept through turning in to challenge Bollin Ruth and then just prevailed near the line.
Tomorrow is the day where the 5 day Lincoln entries are released, watch out for the two ante post selections in that, Axiom and Fremont. Tomorrow's selections are: De Welsh Wizzard (4.10 Plumpton), No Idea (5.10 Plumpton), French Leave (2.30 Towcester), Liberty Seeker (3.00 Towcester), She's On The Case E/W (4.30 Towcester), Bravo Bravo (3.20 Wolverhampton), Tom Sawyer (4.50 Wolverhampton).
Main selections are De Welsh Wizzard, who ran really well last time, No Idea, who is from an in form yard in a weak bumper, Liberty Seeker, who is back over fences, She's On The Case could run well a big price after having two runs to get her fit and Bravo Bravo should go very close on his All Weather debut.
Jump's Nap is No Idea, Overall is Bravo Bravo

Its a Classic plot
Yesterday provided us with the usual difficult racing between the big festivals. We had two winners, Iver Bridge Lad (15/8) and Nideeb in the Winter Derby at 9/4F. I was at Stratford yesterday and the winners summed up the day, Cornwall, Chapman, Middleton, Honeyball, Williams, King (Annabel) and Newland trained the winners. Not high quality and devilishly tough, but a good day out at a cracking little track, which has lots of character.
Today are the Guineas trials at Leopardstown, but these are my selections on the Jumps in Britain: Dizzy River E/W (2.40 Hexham), Its A Classic (4.40 Hexham), Victor Hewgo (5.40 Hexham), Medicine Man w/o the favourite or E/W (2.55 Wincanton), Drybrook Bedouin (3.25 Wincanton), Paint The Clouds (3.55 Wincanton).
The best selections are Its A Classic, who is the longest traveller to Hexham and holds a good chance, Victor Hewgo, who was a cracking second at Doncaster recently and should be able to win a weakish contest, Medicine Man could suprise at Wincanton in the handicap chase and Paint The Clouds is the banker for a cracking little yard and the form of his second to Ocean Transit at Kempton is working out quite well.
Nap is Paint The Clouds

Nideeb ready to strike
Today's racing was very difficult. Ride of the Day went to Graham Lee for his ride on Elzahann at Sedgefield, a very patient and relaxed ride which resulted in a decent victory.
Our selections on Thursday resulted in a couple of winners, Ballycarron Lad (15/8) and Roudoudou Ville (11/8F). Tomorrow is World Cup day in Meydan and I am going to Stratford. These are my selections everywhere: Merrydown (4.20 Bangor), Jackson Cage (5.25 Bangor), Iver Bridge Lad (4.40 Kempton), Nideeb (3.10 Lingfield), Silver Stirrup (5.05 Newbury), Golden Sword E/W (5.35 Meydan) and Dazzling Rita (5.40 Stratford).
Best chances are with Merrydown, who needed the run last time and could be an attractive price, Nideeb, who should be on the ball in the Winter Derby, Golden Sword in the World Cup for the De Kock yard and Dazzling Rita in the bumper at Stratford, a relative of a stable bumper winner.
Also, the Saturday trademark, the recommended Scoop6 line: 105 Rowe Park, 201 Kerada, 306 Oceanway, 402 Shop Dj, 509 Nideeb, 606 Theatre Dance

What a day!
Today's racing was a day packed full of winners for us, which makes a change. Red Merlin started the ball rolling at 2/5 at Hereford, Arnold Layne at 3/1 at Warwick, Nikos Extra absolutely dotted up at 7/2 and to just make the day complete, Ballyclough won at 28/1 at Haydock as well. I hope you were on.
Tomorrow is my birthday, and hopefully the good run can continue, these are the selections: Against The Wind (4.00 Carlisle), Ballycarron Lad (4.35 Carlisle), Roudoudou Ville (3.50 Chepstow), Camera Shy (7.10 Kempton), Mud Monkey (2.30 Southwell), Saulty Max (4.45 Southwell) and A Stones Throw (5.20 Southwell).
The main selections are Ballycarron Lad, who is straight in handicap chases and over from a decent Irish yard, Roudoudou Ville, who should be too good, Camera Shy, who is a very interesting runner, Saulty Max should win the 4.35 and A Stones Throw could also prevail in the finale.
Nap is Saulty Max and a flat nap is Camera Shy, one to watch in the market.

Nikos may have Extra
Today's racing was tough, as was the rider who won ride of the day. David England was giving his mount Rockabilly reminders as they were going away from the stands, he just kept going and going to lead after the last and battled on bravely to win. He definitely earnt his riding fee for that race. On Sunday, we had 4 winning selections: Alvarado, Topolski, Fin Vin De Leu and Accordingtoeileen (2nd but advertised e/w). Not too bad at all.
Tomorrow's selections are: Nikos Extra (4.25 Haydock), Ballyclough e/w (5.30 Haydock), Red Merlin (2.00 Hereford), Welcome Stranger (4.50 Hereford), Sunshine Always e/w (8.50 Kempton), Arnold Layne (3.30 Warwick), Laureate Des Loges (4.40 Warwick).
Main selections are Nikos Extra, who goes well fresh, Red Merlin, who should enjoy the ground, Welcome Stranger, who is back up in trip and Arnold Layne, who should relish conditions at his favourite track.
Both Lincoln horses are still 33's.

Axiom and Fremont ante-post eyecatchers
Yesterday capped off a magnificant week for Conor O'Farrell, when he scored in the Midlands Grand National aboard Minella Four Star. Our only winner in the selections was Best Prospect (15/8F), who just prevailed. He also earned his jockey, Barry Keniry, Ride of the day for that performance on this temperamental gelding, who waited and waited as long as possible to get his head in front, which he did in the last 4 or 5 strides. racingpost.com has the closing stages, by clicking on Racing Post Television on the Media centre and clicking on Saturday review.
Today provides the start of the Irish Flat Turf season, these are my selections everywhere: Victor's Serenade (3.00 Carlisle), Alvarado (3.30 Carlisle), Topolski (2.15 Newton Abbot), Accordingtoeileen e/w (3.15 Newton Abbot), Fin Vin De Leu (3.45 Newton Abbot), Cruise Control (4.15 Newton Abbot), Qualitee e/w (4.45 Newton Abbot), Photo Oppurtunity (4.35 Curragh)
Victor's Serenade could easily start us off with a winner, Alvarado has official ratings and ground on side, Topolski should like the tight track after a win on the Flat at Chester, Accordingtoeileen could go well from the front, Fin Vin De Leu is the most solid selection out of the four in the 3.45, Cruise Control got there to soon last time and has Timmy Murphy on this time, Qualitee who is up in trip on handicap debut for in-form yard and Photo Oppurtunity is unexposed for a stable who does notouriously well in the early season
Also, I have a couple of ante-post selections for the Lincoln at big prices. Axiom, who has moved to Ed Walker from Luca Cumani and has strong claims on his best form, is a general 33/1 shot. Fremont is the other one, who is trained by Richard Hannon and has strong 2yo form and disappointed in his 3yo form. The most eye-catching thing is that the handicapper has dropped him 6lbs for his last run, which is a little way below his last winning mark. At 33/1, he could be a huge price.
Jumps Nap is Topolski, Overall is Photo Oppurtunity

Protractor had the measure!
Yesterday provided us with a memorable day's racing, with a new champion being crowned in Long Run, under a magnificant ride by Sam Waley-Cohen. He was our only Cheltenham winner, as elsewhere Protractor scored in the style of a decent horse at Lingfield and two more seconds in the shape of Magic Prospect and the very unlucky Wrecking Crew, who will be winning soon.
Today brings three jumps meetings, Uttoxeter, Ffos Las and Newcastle. These are my selections: Fanzee Man e/w (6.00 Ffos Las), Lucky Meadows (2.20 Lingfield), Best Prospect (2.10 Newcastle), Jukebox Melody (3.55 Newcastle), Smack That (5.40 Newcastle), Speed Dating (1.55 Uttoxeter) and Khajaaly (8.20 Wolverhampton)
And also my recommended Scoop6 line: 107 Speed Dating, 202 Best Prospect, 311 Barbatos, 416 Qhilimar, 504 Zed Candy, 606 Honourable Arthur
Best hopes lie with Lucky Meadows, Best Prospect, Speed Dating and Khajaaly.

Protractor has the measure
Today's racing was brilliant once again, with Big Buck's and Albertas Run the standouts. Noble Prince and Big Bucks were my winners today too. Ride of the day, for the right reasons, goes to Conor O'Farrell for his attacking ride on Buena Vista, who won a second Pertemps Final. Kicking really hard off the home turn, he kept his mount up to its work all the way up the hill. Racing UK Replays
Tomorrow is very competitive indeed, but these are my Cheltenham selections: 1.30 Local Hero e/w 2.05 Alarazi 2.40 Kicrea Kim 3.20 Long Run 4.00 Jaunty Flight e/w 4.40 Astracad e/w 5.15 Shoreacres
Other selections are Protractor 3.45 Lingfield, Magic Prospect 5.30 Fakenham, Snowy Deck 8.20 Wolverhampton, Wrecking Crew 8.50 Wolverhampton
At Cheltenham, I like Local Hero, especially at 25/1, back on better ground, Jaunty Flight in the Foxhunters, for a shrewd yard and a mare who loves all sorts of ground and Shoreacres, who is held in high regard by connections, and McCoy is on board
Nap is Magic Prospect or Wrecking Crew

Noble Prince to rule
Today's racing was great to watch, with a couple of disappointments, Time For Rupert and Master Minded, but a couple of 5/1 winners for us, Chicago Grey and my nap Keyaza, who was very impressive. Ride of the day goes to Derek O'Connor for his ride on Chicago Grey which was textbook from the back. Brilliant Racing UK Replays
Tomorrow is jam-packed full of tough handicaps, but these are my Cheltenham selections: 1.30 Noble Prince 2.05 Chartreux 2.40 Kalahari King 3.20 Big Bucks 4.00 Beautiful Sound 4.40 Galant Nuit. Other selections are A Stones Throw (5.35 Towcester) and Star Links (6.45 Wolverhampton).
Chartreux was one of my ante post selections, who has snook in right at the bottom of the weights here. Noble Prince could get the Champion off the mark in the opener too. The two elsewhere have big chances.

Master Minded to keep Walsh on top
Today kicked off the Cheltenham Festival, with Al Ferof, which I strongly fancied. My other selections ran with credit, such as Peddlers Cross and also Vino Griego in the last. My nap today was Waterloo Corner, who should have won but didn't get the greatest ride and got collared close home. Ride of the Day went to Graham Lee for his brilliant ride on Divers. Held up, he crept through until making a bad mistake three from home, despite that he cut up the inside to join level at the last before storming up the hill. Racing UK Replays
Tomorrow is the usual tough stuff for Cheltenham. These are my selections per race: 1.30 Chicago Grey 2.05 So Young 2.40 Time For Rupert 3.20 Master Minded 4.00 For Non Stop 4.40 Beyond e/w 5.15 Oscar Magic
Other selections are: Keyaza (5.30 Huntingdon), Fantasy Fighter e/w (8.50 Kempton)
Oscar Magic and For Non Stop were a couple of ante post selections for myself and I still firmly believe in those. Also, Beyond has a good each way chance in the Fred Winter if suited to the track.

Rodford to strike with Kirbys
Yesterdays racing was competitive and Maurisca thoroughly deserved "Banker" status, coasting home at 2/1F. Our only success. Ride of the day went to Shane Byrne for his ride on 80/1 winner Alta Rock at Market Rasen. He seemed to be miles off and then suddenly swooped and passed about 6 or 7 horses in the straight to win. To see it, use the link and type "Alta Rock" into the search by horse tab. Racing UK Replays
Today provides very trappy and difficult racing before more very difficult stuff at Cheltenham through the week.

Nearly day
Yesterday was a nearly for our Scoop6 line, if Dynaste was placed, we would have won the place part of the Scoop6. Also, I tipped you Raysrock (11/10F) and Dunelight (9/1) as winners. Ride of the Day went to Dominic Elsworth for his ride on Alarazi. Very clever Racing UK replays
I awoke this morning to see Binocular ruled out of the Champion Hurdle on Tuesday, another banned substance problem for Mr Henderson to deal with. Khyber Kim e/w doesn't look that appealing any more either.
Today's action now, these are my selections: Sacco D'oro (2.20 Market Rasen), Maurisca (3.20 Market Rasen), Zitenka e/w (4.25 Market Rasen), Salut Honore e/w (2.05 Warwick), Overlut (3.35 Warwick), Shammy Buskins (4.05 Warwick), Welcome Sranger (5.10 Warwick).
Main selections are Sacco D'Oro, who is fit off the Flat for a shrewd yard, Maurisca is a banker, Zitenka, back on faster ground and in a hurdle, Shammy Buskins back on better ground after a good break and Welcome Stranger, who is back after a couple of eye-catching runs in the summer on a track he is 1-1 at.

Rays to Rock at Ayr
Yesterdays action provided us with a couple of winners, Double the Trouble (9/4) and Jayne's Crusader (6/5F), Home didn't run and Senses was pulled up but Life Of A Luso and Bubbly Breeze both ran good races, especially the former who was 2nd at 8/1. Ride of the day went to Mark Harley (5) for his ride on Alfraamsey at Wolverhampton in the 6.20 last night. It looked as if he would never get through but he switched wide and sprouted wings to collar the leaders late on.
To todays action, which is quite competitive, most of all the Imperial Cup at Sandown with 24 runners in, but these are mine: Comeththehour e/w (2.50 Ayr), Raysrock (5.05 Ayr), Qrackers (5.15 Chepstow), Lively Baron e/w (1.55 Sandown), Fiulin e/w (3.00 Sandown), Craiglands (4.40 Sandown), Dunelight (2.10 Wolverhampton), Wildcat Wizard (4.25 Wolverhampton). And my recommended Scoop6 line is: 101 Dynaste, 209 Dunelight, 302 Mon Parrion, 419 Alarazi, 506 Prime Exhibit, 601 Baby Shine
The selections which I feel have the biggest chances are Raysrock, who will relish conditions, Lively Baron back on a faster surface, Craiglands, who was a tad unlucky last time and Wildcat Wizard, who has his first start for Dandy Nicholls.
Roi Du Mee has been pulled out of all entries for the Festival, as has Qhilimar. This leaves, Chartreux, For Non Stop, Oscar Magic and Snap Tie in the Grand Annual as the remaining ante post selections.
Jumps nap is Craiglands. Overall is maybe Raysrock

Oscar Magic some ante post sparkle
Today's racing was very tricky, as it proved with only one winner for us, Baile Anrai at 4/7F. Wrecking Crew very nearly reeled in Little Richard, who won on his 100th career start aged 12. He will be getting his head in front soon. Ride of the Day was very stand-out but it went again to Henry Brooke for his ride on Alexander Road at Carlisle.
Tomorrow we have 4 jumps meetings plus the usual fair from Wolverhampton. These are the selections: Bubbly Breeze (3.55 Ayr), Instigator (5.40 Ayr), Double The Trouble (4.50 Leicester), Home (2.20 Sandown), Life Of A Luso e/w (2.35 Wincanton), Senses (4.20 Wincanton), Jayne's Crusader (4.55 Wincanton), Duar Mapel (8.50 Wolverhampton).
I think the big chances are with Instigator at Ayr, who makes his first start in the UK coming over from Ireland, Home, who reverts to hurdles after a nice win on the Flat, Jayne's Crusader, who will love the top of the ground and Duar Magel who was unlucky last time.
In terms of Cheltenham, a few more ante post selections: Chartreux in the Pertemps Final, Oscar Magic in the Bumper (he has beaten Imperial Commander in a gallop and could be the next Cue Card?) and For Non Stop in the Coral Cup has very solid form. Also Roi Du Mee and Qhilimar in the Byrne Plate and Kim Muir are attractive.
Jumps nap is Instigator, overall is Duar Magel
Good Luck
Tomorrow we have 4 jumps meetings plus the usual fair from Wolverhampton. These are the selections: Bubbly Breeze (3.55 Ayr), Instigator (5.40 Ayr), Double The Trouble (4.50 Leicester), Home (2.20 Sandown), Life Of A Luso e/w (2.35 Wincanton), Senses (4.20 Wincanton), Jayne's Crusader (4.55 Wincanton), Duar Mapel (8.50 Wolverhampton).

Hughes for a comeback win?
The last two days action have been very competitive, with 3 winners for us on Monday, Alla Svelta (6/5F), Louis Pasteur (4/6F) and Twin Sound (6/4F). Also went close with Cape Melody and Cruise Control both finishing placed. Ride of the day for Monday went to Hayley Turner for her ride on Lastkingofscotland and today Graham Lee on one of my horses, Jukebox Melody.
Tomorrow is tight racing, but I still have these selections: Waldo Winchester e/w (3.20 Catterick), Braden Brook (4.50 Catterick), Floradorado (2.30 Fontwell), Killfinnan Castle (4.30 Fontwell), Howard's Legacy (5.00 Fontwell), Evey P e/w (2.40 Lingfield), Grande Caiman (4.40 Lingfield), Strophic (8.00 Kempton).
The main selections are Braden Brook, in form stable and a winner last time, Howard's Legacy, who was beaten by a good horse on debut, Evey P will be attractive at an each way price and Strophic is a perfect horse for Richard Hughes on his comeback day and will run very well.
Jumps nap is Howard's Legacy. Overall is Strophic, but watch for Grande Caiman, longest traveller after an eye-catching reappearance, watch out.
Good Luck

Not one but two 66/1 winners!
Todays racing was as wide open as I thought with two 66/1 winners. As my selections don't need mentioning, the ride of the day does, Henry Brooke for his ride on one of the 66/1 winners, the 14 year old Amjad. He was riding his mount for virtually a circuit of Sedgefield and he held off Classic Henri. He is definitely worth his claim and another top young jockey.
Tomorrow sees the return of Newton Abbot after a six month break. These are my selections in time order: Alla Svelta (2.00 Newton Abbot), Cruise Control (3.05 Newton Abbot), High Jack (3.25 Ffos Las), Twin Sound (3.50 Lingfield), Troubletimestwo e/w (4.00 Ffos Las), Louis Pasteur (5.20 Newton Abbot) and Cape Melody (5.30 Lingfield).
The main selections are Alla Svelta, who has good form and experience on his side, Cruise Control, not knocked about at all in handicap hurdles to date and has Daryl Jacob aboard this time, Louis Pasteur who was hopelessly unlucky last time and Cape Melody for the in form Baker yard at Lingy. Also, Troubletimestwo is back on a left handed track for the first time in a while and is overpriced. You have been warned.
The Jumps nap is Louis Pasteur and Cape Melody overall

Back Bob to win
Yesterday again a mixture, after rocking the Kasban at 7/1, hope you were on. Ride of the Day went to James Reveley for his beautiful hold up ride on Always Right in the Grimthorpe Chase at Doncaster, very well executed.
Today's action is very interesting, and a huge Jackpot pool. This is my line for the Jackpot: 109 Robin De Cruese, 204 Baan, 306 Chicklemix, 401 Ballyvesey, 507 Qalinas, 601 Back Bob Back.
Hopefully not too far away. These are my main selections: Catch Bob (2.50 Sedgefield), Chicklemix (3.10 Huntingdon), Wor Rom e/w (3.20 Sedgefield), Ballyvesey (3.40 Huntingdon), Rich Lord, small e/w (4.10 Huntingdon), Back Bob Back (4.40 Huntingdon), Yes Mate (4.50 Sedgefield).
I particularly fancy Chicklemix, back up in trip, Ballyvesey, who needs to win to get in the Kim Muir at the Festival, Back Bob Back for the George yard straight in a handicap chase and Yes Mate back down in trip.
To end just a couple more Ante-Post selections for Cheltenham:
Roi Du Mee of Gordon Elliott's in either the Byrne Group Plate or the Stewart Family handicap chase, about 20/1 for each and also Qhilimar for Charlie Longsden who could run a huge race in the Kim Muir at 33/1 if he got in.
Nap is Chicklemix

Rock The Kas-ban!
Yesterday's racing was very interesting and quite good for my selections too. Hypnotic Gaze delivered as my Jumps nap at 7/1 and Black Coffee doubled up at 11/8F. Others such as Yankee Storm and Balerina ran respectably as well. Ride of the Day yesterday went to Luke McNiff for his ride on Golan Heights at Wolverhampton. He perfectly judged the pace and asserted round the home turn to hold off the persuers such as Sacco D'Oro. Also at Wolverhampton, was the most controversial incident of the day, all I will say is watch the 5.45 on the Attheraces website, just before you watch the 7.15 with the ride of the day!
Today is a very interesting day of trappy handicaps and big fields. I personally feel like Kelso is the "nicest" of the 4 jumps meetings. My selections are in time order: Tartan Snow (2.00 Kelso), Donny Briggs (2.40 Donny!), Kasban (3.25 Kempton), European Dream e/w (3.35 Newbury), Bogside e/w (4.15 Kelso), Greywell Boy e/w (4.25 Doncaster), No Tears (4.35 Kempton), Hit The Headlines-Medinas EXACTA (5.20 Newbury).
Also, my usual Saturday Scoop6 line: 113 Credit Crunched, 207 Go Amwell, 306 Cornish Sett, 416 Fine Parchment, 505 Meanus Dandy, 608 Made In Time.
I very nearly included Meanus Dandy in my selections as I think he could be a future Scottish National horse. Kasban, No Tears and Donny Briggs are the main 3 with the nap being No Tears.
I would like to end with a Ante-Post Cheltenham selection. Snap Tie in the Grand Annual at 20/1
Good Luck

Have a nice winning cup of Black Coffee
Today's racing a right good mixture. Favourites overturned as more unexposed sorts and out of form trainers stole the show. Tom George had a cross the card treble after a shocking winless run strecthing back two months. One of his winners was my only winning selection, Laneguy who fairly dotted up at 9/2. The Cockney Mackem, Molly Round, Calusa Shadow and Postman were all placed but no more winners.
Ride(s) of the Day went to Kelly Harrison and Denis O'Regan for their rides on John Potts and Henry King respectively. John Potts made a sweeping run around the outside on the home turn and swept through to win at 2/1 (well done Jack!). Henry King made all to win the Taunton opener under what I thought was a textbook ride from the front, getting a real good tune out of this grey. Both can be seen on Attheraces.
Tomorrow sees the return of Ruby Walsh at Newbury for one ride, but these are my selections in time order: Hypnotic Gaze (2.45 Doncaster), Dixie Bull (2.55 Newbury), National Hope (4.20 Lingfield), Balerina (4.30 Doncaster), Darkness (5.15 Newbury), Yankee Storm (5.25 Lingfield), Trojan Gift e/w (6.15 Wolverhampton) and Black Coffee (7.45 Wolverhampton)
I am very confident of more than one winner tomorrow. Hypnotic Gaze can get us off to a good start at Donny. The Baker's National Hope is bound to run well at Lingfield as will Yankee Storm. The two at Wolverhampton will both run very well.
The Jump's nap is Hypnotic Gaze. The overall nap is Trojan Gift, e/w at least

Postman To Deliver
Todays action was small field sizes but quite competitive. My selections ran with credit, with Jackson Cage the winner (5/4F), Kauto The Roc and Avoca Promise both finishing second. Rate Of Knots also ran a cracker in 3rd in the Kent National. Round Won and Evey P were non runners and Ridley Didley running into a brick wall two furlongs from home.
Ride of the day went to Rilly Goschen in the Maiden Hunters chase at Folkestone, somehow managing to get Dust In Time from 6th and about 20 lengths behind turning into the home straight, to reel in the hapless Supa Tramp on the run in. A great and enterprising ride. Attheraces website is the place to see that one.
Tomorrows racing selections in time order: The Cockney Mackem (2.30 Ludlow), So Is She (2.40 Southwell), Molly Round (3.20 Taunton), Laneguy (3.50 Taunton), Calusa Shadow (4.30 Ludlow), Postman (5.10 Southwell), Romantic Queen (5.40 Wolverhampton), Dauntsey Park e/w (6.40 Wolverhampton).
The banker would be The Cockney Mackem. Laneguy I feel will definitely be in the frame at least after not getting knocked about after being badly hampered. Molly Round will run her usual solid race as will Calusa Shadow and Postman. Watch out for Dauntsey Park too, could run well at a big price. The jumps nap is The Cockney Mackem, the overall is probably Postman

Kirsty and Jake get riding honours
My Monday selections ran with credit, but still only one winner, the overall nap Sweet Origin at 1/2. Riding honours on Monday went to Jake Greenall for his great ride on Shadows Lengthen at Catterick. Held up, he swept around the field and smoothly took it up between the last two and went away well. You can see on the following link and type the horse's name on the right tab. Racing UK Replays
Today was an interesting day. I picked a quick nap for a home competition, and it won at 4/1. Tim the Chair at Leicester recovered well from a shocking error two from home to reel in Beware Chalk Pit on the run-in. Ride of the Day today went to Kirsty Milczarek for her brilliant and maybe a tad lucky ride on Clearing House in the 5.25 Lingfield. Definitely one to look at on the Attheraces website if you can.
Tomorrows selections now: Avoca Promise e/w (2.10 Folkstone), Rate Of Knots (4.10 Folkestone), Kauto The Roc (4.20 Bangor), Jackson Cage (5.20 Bangor), Round Won (5.40 Kempton), Ridley Didley (3.30 Wolverhampton), Evey P e/w (4.30 Wolverhampton).
The jumps nap is Jackson Cage. The overall nap would be Round Won, but I feel Evey P merits a strong look at Wolves.
Good Luck
