Good luck. Been an awful week for me. I expect it is variance as in poker A lot of bad beats. Hope tomorrow brings us a bit of luck. Posted by wynne1938
lets hope so mate from the look of our picks we will have a good or bad day together
iiii - Eminent 11-2 - 3.35 Newm -impressive winner of Craben and trainer ereckons he has come on for that , hoping that he can upset Churchill. Well beaten although stuck out wide didn't help
iii - Dark Shot 7-1 - 3-15 Goodwood - no clear run last time, hoping that run brought him on and gets better luck this time. 3rd had to find his way through horses again but no excuses.
ii- Lat Hawill 6-1 - 3.40 Thirsk- Another which finished well after no clear run. good draw today nowhere
I- Berkshire 14-1 -1.50 Newmarket -Class above these at his best which is why top weight, If only he hadn't had so many injuries, colic etc lets hope he is well today.NR that's twice he has been pulled out now. Connections obviously feel they will only run him when everything in his favour. Have had a bet on Grapevine 8-1 instead last
Also fancy
2.20 goldream Goldream ran well 3rd at 14-1 and Dancing Star ran on near end but never a factor 2.20 Newm both 14-1 2.55 Glapait 7-2 -2.55 Newm not in same class as winner
Goodwood 2.05 Goodwood Alf Guineas 7-2 nowhere 2.40 Good wood -Make Music 22-1 2nd and bug ger I chose between Make Music and Gossiping , would have had forcast 25-1 and 16-1 !!!!!!!!!!
ii- Days of Heaven 7-2 2.05 K - 2 from 2 at Kempton and has run his last two races in top class USA jumps meetings Trainer in form. WOW winner at 4-1 and loved the course and ground, needs to be followed
Won again at 3-1 at Stratford today, couldn't believe the price should have been 6-4 at least. Won by 3 lengths and still reckon more to come gave weight and a beating to Yorkist

yes Micky backed it . As wynne will know, thanks to him I use ATR tracker , free and you get your horses to follow emailed to you when they are entered, Saves the brain cells and I don't always get a chance to update my ones to follow on here
Had a fantastic last two days at Chester with 7 winners at 14-1,10-1, , 8-1 , 5-1 twice some in doubles and one 10pew accum giving over 2000 points profit so this weeks ratings come with the health warning , can he do it today. Certainlky need to do something.
iiii- George William 12-1 4.00 ascot , winner and then tardy start left him with too much to do last time. Hoping for better today. 2nd winner got first run so Banksea form franked by both winner and mine
iii- Mix and Mingle 15-2 3.40 Lingfield- Beat Taabarak last time out who franked form next time in good race. Oh dear didn't see the French hotpot was in the race. still hopeful !!!!! WINNER WHAT A RIDE BY RYAN MOORE AND FRENCH HORSE NO PROBLEM. TRAINER CHRIS WALL WINS RACE FOR THIRD TIME
ii- London Prize -12-1-Beaten off this rating last time in Scottish champion, hoping he can win this as well as he did the Imperial Cup. 6th or seventh but wow John Constable
I- Baydar -7-1 -racked up a long line of wins last year until last seasons hardwork saw him run disappointingly last race of 2016. Freshened up he should be back in front. NR

Gosden has some super fillies, Shutter Speed very impressive
4.35 Starlight Romance 14-1 won nice race last time . interfered with and finished 3rd , wouldn't have won but would have finished 2nd if it wasn't for the second interfering with her and meant I lost out with my late forecast saver. GRRRRRRRRR. How was there not a stewards enquiry
Well Tasleet was not only Haggas horse I left out (got to look at all his horses at York !!!)Battered winner as well
5.05 Rocket Man Dan 11-2 nowhere hasn't improved from Brocklesby run. Brocklesbury winner Santry won easily under penalty 5.35 Theydon Grey saver om chancery 10-1 placed and nowhere
ive got a 11-1 shot with a chance for you 'flying pursuit' in the 2.55. pretty certain it will get the ground it likes, its also ran well at york before which helps.

2.20 Duke of Firenze 6-1 -ok top weight and their might be something down the bottom but ran good race in Abbaye , Mobsta franked form and then in good race at chester last week he was bumped coming out of stalls and then blocked twice as he made his run. not given hard race from there and still finished a close fourth even though Invincible had flown by then. C & D winner and won on soft ground. Trainer had decent start to season. WINNER 13-2 EASILY DESPITE HAVING TO FIND RUN,
2.55 So Mi Dar 11-10 impressed the first time I saw her and has won on softish ground and first time out NR
3.30 Exemplar 9-1 - ~I~ know I shouldn't as many with better form and O brien has had a couple of Derby hopes well beaten. However I feel this must have shown him something over winter as form not really good enough for this entry KNEW I WAS ON LOSER FROM INTERVIEW BEFORE HAND

iiii - 3.30 Newbury - Galileo Gold - 7-2 - Owner sponsoring the card and this horse beat the fav twice early in the season last year and went off the boil late on. Sure trainer will have him tip top for this and represents value. Boiled over not the horse he was LOST

Well it looks a really tough day tomorrow. But here goes
iiii - 4.20 Goodwood - TOP TUG 9-2 - Second to Frontiersman last time who beat Big Country easily in that race and he one of mine to follow this season. Hopefully BC ran to form just wrong distance. TopTug and Frontiersman obviously liked and hoping top Tug can go one better today. WINNER BEAUTIFULLY RIDDEN BY ATZENI
iii - 3.50 York - RASHEEQ 14-1 - This warrants three candle rating as off for a long time and then finished 2nd to duke of Firenze on hi return. Trainer in form although he has another horse in the race. 20-12ND , BUG GER THE STABLEMAT BEAT IT, SHOULD HAVE HAD FORECAST.ONE TO FOLLOW

When I learn !!!!!
GOODWOOD 2.00 BERKSHIRE-10-1 - Lost Another favourite of mine and if well will go close. unfortunately he has had problems and not helped by being a big horse asked to run round Chester and now Goodwaood.TULLIUS 8-1 more realistic. Lost. Mosse having a ball on his odd rides in this country 3.10 -TOWN CHARTER 14-1 - likely improver and trainer loves Goodwood, only prob he has three in this race. Your guess is as good as mine on which one is best. Hoping this one is. Afraid of Horrob and will have him in forecast. LOST -Wrong Johnson horse won although mine got completely unbalanced two out 3.45 SECOND STEP 5-2 WINNER AND AT A LOVELY 7-2, GOT A BIT OF 4-1 AS WELL
HAYDOCK 2.20 SWASHBUCKLE 6-1 Losing confidence with Oisin Murphy,(Simple Verse and Chemical charge), we seem not to have luck together. Probably wouldnt have won but another horse continually took his ground about 2 furlongs out and he had to let this horse come home in his own time. 2.55 MUSTARRID 7-1 LOST after being backed into favourite.Jim crowley and I both picked wrong horse 3.30 SECOND THOUGHT 5-1 2nd backed Haggas this time, that got him beat 4.35 FLORIDA TIMES 12-1 NR replaced with GRAVITY FLOW LOST I can mess Haggas up!!!

What looked like a difficult day finished pretty good.
2 winners and 2 big priced seconds for my ratings which continue to show a profit over five years (ok missed a couple of years whilst I was on boat) and now
57 points up
Also winners at 8-1 and 7-2 and Churchill - never in doubt
Always a downside for me though
just missed out on place fourfold and didn't have any of the winners together in any of my double and treble bets. all due to my aversion to races of less than 8 runners and Ew
