    Same to u Terry.

    As for Fishers, yep, I got drawn in too, and put him in my TTF team. I think in hindsight he was beating a pour bunch of novice stayers last season. He's been found out now, and may be 'finished'. Ladbrokes 3/1 for Big Bucks looks very tempting. Only Solwit to fear I think.

    You are so right Neil,

    Just said that to the Rock. Cant see beyond big Bucks either and 3-1 very good price.

    If my ten to follow are anything to go by most of these horses will be pulled up or finished for the season. No great confidence behind them and probably picked for favouritism rather than a true reflection of their chances but here goes.

    iiii - Creepy 6-1 1.45 Newbury - Ran really well over this distance at cheltenham and goinb against one of my ten to follow in Oscar Rock. Trainer in good form, lets hope it continues. another faller, wish jockeys would let horses jump. unlikely to have won though.

    iii - Coverholder 6-1 3.10 Chepstow - Won last twice including a facile win at Kelso. hope still improving. Pace of race blew this apart

    ii- Merry King - 9-1 2.35 chepstow - Following the Hennessey form which seemd to be working out well for some and not others. Hope this horse is one of the good ones. Little savers on two winners latest Hey Big spender 25-1 and Knock a Hand 20-1. Ran a good race to finish fifth.

    i- Lord Windermere -9-1 2.55 Leopardstown - Another Hennessey runner and one of my ten to follow, not lost confidence yet but this is a hard task. Not as good as I thought he was but great to see Bobs Worth back.

    Also fancy

    Handsupfordetriot 9-2 1.00 Chepstwo started with a winner lead from start to finish, easily 
    Lamps 14-1 1.30 chepstow I was hoping this would be fit first time but not.
    Shaking Hands 1.15 Newbury 8-1 didnt get easy lead and fell early

    Here are the ratings

    iiii- 2.40 wincanton -Jumps Road 9-2- Won well time before last than ran superbly behind Zarkander & The New One. such a good run people cannot beleive it but as it was a winner the time before perhaps it has improved a lot, Nailed on on last race. NR

    iii-  2.05 Wincanton - Toby Lerone 7-2 -Won well twice over normal fences and hoping Aintree was a blip NR 

    ii- 3.10 Lingfield - Rivellino 7-2- Followed this over the summer with not much luck. Won last time out and hopeful he has now got into his stride. 2nd to a very good improver

    i- 2.35 Lingfiled - Energia Eros -12-1-know nothing about this horse but second in Brazil last time. Is Marco getting him ready to go to Dubai and if so is he ready today. Brilliant progress round bend then out like a light
     
    Also fancy Naaz 5-1 3.45 Ling 2nd
    Two in the Pink 12-1 2.00 Ling again out from 8-1 to 25-1 , once he went inside made ground but too late

    added

    Todays ratings

    iiii- THE LIQUIDATOR -1.35 Kempton-5-2 Won as he liked last time out and hoping he can be as brilliant today on his road to the festival. Oh dear oh dear, not going to win at cheltenham with form like that. Back to the drawing board .

    iii- LIKE MINDED - 2.40 Kempton- 12-1- Young trainer done really well since leaving Nicholls and knows how to get one handicapped well. Won well at Aintree. Ran really well and two out thought i had it as going very well. only manged third in end , however couldnt beleive Saphir De Rhue 6-1 so had saver on that and it won easily.

    ii- UNCLE JIMMY - 2.25 Warwick - 8-1 -Ran well in a hot cheltenham handicap and hoping extra distance will help. At last , running all over them two out then mistake and worried whether the would hold on. did it nicely in end.  Fancied the second Grand Vision 12-1 as well and did it each way. should have had the forecast LOL

    i- ROYALE KNIGHT - 3.35 Warwick- 12-1 -Hope the good doctor has found another Night alliance. Ok this one is just out of handicap but hopefully still good enough of low weight. Also fancy Hay Big spender 14-1. Pricewise copied me again but luckily I was on before the bets came in. ran well to finish 3rd. Place doubles and trebles up.

    Also fancy

    12.25 Kempton-toby Lerone 4-1
    2.10 K-Twinlight 9-4 hit two fences very hard and didnt get trip
    3.15 K -Nadiya de Le Vega 9-2 terrible error put paid to her chances

    1.55 War-Sew on Target 7-2 couldnt live with Dare Me
    3.00 War Creepy 6-1 nowhere so thank goodness for my little savers Splash of Ginge 16-1 ew

    Good luck all

    Too many races with small fields tomorrow and then I fancy more than one in some.

    How do I decide between Ifandbutwhynot, jumps road and Melodic Rendezvous in 2.40 Haydock. All my fav's and all got a chance. Melodic Renzvous should be the one if back fit but value in other two. Well done Melodic Rendezvous, another winner .
    Anyway here we go with a try.

    3.00 Ascot - TATANEN - 7-2- Loves the track and ran really well to win last time. Time to win again. NR

    3.15 Haydock- NIGHT ALLIANCE - 7-1- this would have been my top rating if Merry King, who has ran well this season and been dropped by handicapper since , wasnt in the race. Saver forecast but still think this horse is improving ahead of handicapper. Didnt like the inside run but not good enough and Merry King came too late with a storming run.

    2.25 Ascot- THOMAS CRAPPER -8-1- Did this last time but feel 3 miles did for it. Back to 2m 5f which it won over both times previously. Hope it likes Ascot as much. Going well then went from travelling well to struggling. what a winner Irish saint was very very easy.

    1.50 Ascot - HIGHLAND RETREAT -4-1 - Trainer very positive about this horses chances and that is good enough for me. Well the trainer and myself were both right although a bit harder than it looked two hurdles out. Tough mare and lovely price at 5-1. Couldn't beleive Mickie favourite over mine, stuffed her last time and today.

    Also fancy

    3.35 Ascot Sire De Grugy 5-4 Easy Easy Easy how was that odds against.
    12.55 Haydock -Fill The Power 12-1 Benvolio won well, FTP needed the race and will come on for it.

    hoping for my third winning week in a row.

    Here goes

    iiii- 1.30 Doncaster - King of the Wolds -11-2 -Trainer in good form and yorksire trainers like to win races in their home county. This won lost out on his hat trick last time to well handicapped Venetia Williams horse. Hoping history doesnt repeat itself. Backed down to joint fav but run off his feet and miles behind in 4th.

    iii- 3.15 Doncaster -Unioniste -7-2 -Although top weight this horse is top class and will go close at the Festival in his chosen race. Nicholls likes winning this . Would be top rated if I also didnt fancy Baile Anrai on which I will have a small saver. 3rd but thrilled with Baile Anrai 25-1 who looked like the winner and but for a blind spot 3 out would have won.

    ii - 2.40 Doncaster - Sausalio Sunrise -4-1 - Another top weight and trainer on form but hopeful of history repeating it self. Hated ground and I was right re Yorkshire trainers wanting to win at doncaster. Malcolm Jefferson won this instead of with KoTW.

    i- 3.00 Cheltenham - Aubusson- 13-2 -Think this horse is underated because of its jockey and ok she wont be able to claim her allowance today she clearly gets on well with the horse and it was very impressive last time.
     Sorry, good horse but not in same class as first two and Red sherlock very very impressive.

    Also fancy quite a lot of others

    Cheltenham 
    12-40 -Le Rocher 5-2 Never in doubt, absolutely destroyed them without jumping well.
    1.15 Ohio Gold 6-1 going well before emptying out in home str8ht finished 4th
    1.50 Double Ross 3-1 going all over the winner and ridden confidently but Wishful Thinkiing outbattled him on run in
    2.25 Rocky Creek 6-4 well well well, TGB looked cooked most of the race until hitting home str8ght, won well. Rocky crreel looked all over winner until then. tired terribly
    3.35 Reve De sivola 7-2 not good enough but what a win for Knockara beau

    Doncaster 12.25 -Elmore Back 6-1 nowher Master of Game stuffed them all

    My ratings today are

    iiii- 3.00 Sandown -Fine Parchment 7-2 - Loves this course and ran a good field ragged last time out , jumping for fun. Hope he enjoys again today. Ran his heart out but ground found him out, hope he recovers ok 

    iii- 1.30 FFos Las - Horatio Hornblower SP - Dont like giving ratings to horses at SP but couldnt resist as this could be a vvery dark horse. Has run against and not been totally disgraced against Champange Fever, Shutthefrontdoor and the Romford Pele. Been off for 420 days but if fit should be class above these. Ridden with confidence, did he get back up or did fitness tell.  It did it did and my winning NAP 7-2

    ii- 2.10 Wetherby - No Planning -7/2 -Been running some superb races and last time good second to Night alliance. Hopeful he can win this. Won it by miles , 2 ratings winnings lovely

    i- 3.35 Sandown -Handsupfordetroit -12-1 - Won easily at chepstow but then beaten on run in after being left too far in front in trip to short. Idled and by the time he responded to horse that passed him it was too late. Hopeful he can come with one withering run this week. Jumping well and loving it then at the smallest fence he unseats!!!!!

    Others I fancy

    1.50 Sandown -Eastlake 9-2 too much weight
    4.10 Sandown-Sew on Target 7-2 won easily

    2.05 Ffos Las -Saphir Du Rheu 7-4 ANOTHER WINNER AND 2-1 GREAT PRICE
    2.40 Ffos Las -Hunters Lodge 16-1 only likes cheltenham  and De La Bach 6-1 pulled up
    3.10 FL -Tony Dinozzo 9-4  NR

    My ratings this week


    iiii- Rivelino 3.45 Lingfield- 7-1 - No doubt Parfect Pastures is a good horse but turn round of 8lb for what was said to be a 2 length win last time. Watched race again and when jock of Rivelino knew he wouldnt win he eased off. Would only have been a length if he hadnt.  Forcast these two as saver.
    1st at  8-1 and my nap
     
    iii- Dell'Arca 3.35 Newbury - 7-1- This is what I said last time I gave this horse. "won a very compettitive handicap first time and I am sure this horse still on the upgrade and can win again. Going nicely on inside when Scudamore decided to move it into middle. What happens Horse falls right in front and brought dow, Lovely!!!! "
    With a luckier ride this time he has a great chance at these weights. However not my four candles rating because of Jumps Road 33-1 in race where I will have a saver. Only been beaten by The New One, Zarkander, Melodic Rendezvous and Ptit Zig in last two races not getting much weight. Getting weight today off horses not in class of those four. 33-1 silly price. 2nd to Splash of Ginge which I did last two times and didnt this time !!!!!!!
    Nor forecast

    ii- Rouge Et Blanc -11-2 - Warwick 3.15 -second last time to well handicapped Benny's Mist . Bottom weight today and trainer reckons he will winvery shortly. Hope it is today. going nicely until mistake four out then no chance

    i- Night Of Passion 11-2 - warwick 3.50 -Proved he gets trip when close second to Virginia Ash last time. If that wins 1.50 Newbury get on this bigtime. Trainer and Jockey had a nice winner Friday. Tailed off at back

    Also fancy

    1.50 Newbury -Virginia Ash 12-1 not good enough
    2.25 New -Al Ferof 6-4 ground and distance against him
    4.10 New -Mendip Express 2-1 stuffed
    1.35 War - Tickity Bleue 9-2 NR
    2.05 War -Mischeivious Milly 3-1 second still couldnt beat Glens Melody who made mistake 2nd out
    4.20 War - Midnight Prayer SP
    Won easily

    Probably be hit today as I am backing some novices in good contests but here goes;-

    iiii - Many Clouds- 2.05 Ascot -5-2 - Last time out easily accounted for Indian Castle and Pinerolo, both who have won s8ince and looked good doing it. this one beat them by 16 lengths. Cut his throat racing gevrey and finished 2nd

    iii- Horatio Hornblower  3.30 Haydock -7-1 - This is what I said about this one last time and the rsult:-
    "Horatio Hornblower This could be a very dark horse. Has run against and not been totally disgraced against Champange Fever, Shutthefrontdoor and the Romford Pele. Been off for 420 days but if fit should be class above these. Ridden with confidence, did he get back up or did fitness tell.  It did it did and my winning NAP 7-2" After that race the trainer said he wasn't fit and he and jockey reckoned it needed further which it had run over before. Hope they are right and up to 3mile will win again. One step too far didn't get trip

    ii - Seeyouatmidnight - 2.20 Haydock- 7-1 Novice who has won at big prices because he is always underestimated. Bound for Festival and grossly upped in class and against experienced opponents. Hope he is as good as stable thinks he is. That is a good horse and keep on underestimating him, beat a lot of very experienced horses well.


    i - Like Minded 3.15 Ascot -7-1 - Worried about Bourne down the bottom of handicap despite some good form. However this horse beaten by a very good horse in Saphir Du Rhue last time and better in with rivals he beat that day. Looked like he was coming well but then went out like a light. Kaylif Aramis overturned form


    Also fancy

    2.40 Ascot -Tullamore Dew 25-1 and if he wins get on ran too free
    3.50 Ascot -Cloudy Too 8-1 who beat him well last time. Another 2nd ran well against class horse
    1.45 Hay -Abracadabra Sivola 10-1 -Won nicely
    2.55 Haydock - Hard as i fancy two Loch Ba 9-1 and Merry King 7-1 Merry King pulled up and Loch Ba 3rd. Had those two with rigadin de beachuene in forecast 1st and 3rd so dit
    2.30 wincanton Lamps 12-1 not a going day
    3.05 Wincanton Chemistry Master 8-1 NR
    3.35 Win -Melodic Rendezvous 6-5 Well done Melodic another nice win

    Good luck all

    not much to say re horses this week just fancy them.

    iiii - Poole Master 3.05 Chepstow - 4-1 -Won easily last time and think it will win again. Another winner at nice 9-2 JUST -what a recovery from bend

    iii - Swnymor -2.30 Chepstow - 9-2 already been backed from 6-1 this horse is better class than these and has won at the distance. was going to win a good class hurdles race here but fell at last when in control. hope it doesn't happen tomoz. Ran well for a long time, jockey confident,  then ran on one pace unplaced

    ii - Midnight Appeal - 3.50 - Kempton - 14-1 - worried Thornton on but ran really well last time to finish second to well handicapped horse , now watch Bless the wings win this LOL. Ran well just beaten for third.
    This is what Caroline Keevil said re 28-1 winner in RP "He is extremely well and aimed him for this race instead of Cheltenham. He would prefer better ground but he absolutely loves Kempton"


    i- Presented - 2.55 Newcastle - 12-1 - Only one candle rating as also fancy Financial climate. Ok out of handicap but good 5lb claimer and has won on course. should have had Wyck hill but didn't this horse ran well before hitting five out hard which probably did for him. weakened to finish 6th

    Others I like

    1.55 Chepstow Super Villan 7-1 NR
    3.40 chep -Awaywiththegreys 9-1 very brave to plug on for third at 12-1

    Kemp
    1.30 Flaming George 12-1 -unplaced
    2.40 Balder Suces Evens won nicely at a he lluva price 9-4
    3.15 Irving 11-10 Easy winner at 6-4

    2.20 New Angelot du berlais 7-1  -travelled well and then blew up, better next time
