1:30 Doncaster Racing Tips (7th July)

DONCASTER 1.30 

A field of 7 for this class 5 dash and 3 of the runners like to lead so it should be a fast run race for the class especially as they are my 4th, 3rd and 2nd top rated horses, Primo's Comet 4/1 doesn't seem to like really fast good to firm ground and could be a lay if the going goes against it, Harrogate 10/1 is my 4th top rated but might not be able to lead in this race,Just That Lord is in 3rd top spot and could do enough to make the frame if others falter, my 2nd top rated is Super Julius but its been nearly a month since the stable last tasted success but I'm hoping they will set the race up for DUSKY PRINCE 13/8 who usually likes to track the leaders and likes a fast pace to aim at and with a clear run it could pick the leaders up nearing the finish and on paper looks to have been found the ideal opportunity for it to complete its hattrick. 

EPSOM 7.23 

A poor turnout of just 7 runners for this class 4 race with 4 horses that have been known to lead, I might look to lay Concierge 9/1 who may get outpaced here and stay on too late to win the race, Pablo Del Pueblo 5/1 may also be worth laying if of value to do so as its wins have come in slow run races, my top two ratings are both front running types, PRINCE OF BEL LIR 11/4 is my 2nd top rated and been in good form winning 3 of its last 4 races so cannot be discounted but it has poor jockey stats, if TOUSSARAK 8/1 can reproduce its best rating from 2021 it would win with a few spots to spare but the trainer is 0-7 with their older horses here and the jockey is also 0-7 for the stable so I will have to back them both.

3:00 Lingfield Racing Tips (6th July)

LINGFIELD 3.00 

A class 5 handicap on the Polytrack surface with 3 known front running types amongst the 8 entrants, I'm not sure if I can find anything of value to lay so lets look for the winner. The Defiant is one of the possible pacesetters and comes out 4th best on my figures, in third top spot sits Sir Rodneyredblood who likes to stay on at the finish and could make the frame, the top weight Wings Of A Dove is my 2nd top rated and another that has been known to lead before and could be hard to pass for most of these but I do have SAAHEQ 14/1 rated higher by 3lbs and to be honest it hasn't shown much so far this year in its 3 runs but is capable of bouncing back to form without warning and hopefully it will be an each way price for this race. 

Saaheq 28/1 1st +33.6pts (Excellent work from the Sprint King)

Total +33.6pts

YARMOUTH 4.40 

Only 6 runners with 2 known front runners, I'm not keen on laying 3yo’s but Thakrah races as though it will do better when tried over a longer distance so might be worth the risk if of value to lay, the top weight Amor De Mi Vida 2/1 could do best of those coming from off the pace being my third top rated but my top 2 ratings are both front running types, Aish 6/1 comes out 2nd best but if the ground is good to firm then i will be backing PRETTY SHIFTWELL and a repeat of its best speed figure would see it winning this race a shade cosily. 

Pretty Shiftwell 9/1 3rd -1pt 

Total -1pt 

BATH 6.35 

A field of 8 for this class 4 race with 3 known front running types so it should be a true run affair especially as Symbol Of Hope 5/2 and Under Curfew 8/1 are my 3rd and 2nd top rated so many horses might not be able to get involved in this race, Majeski Man 13/2 hasn't won at this distance before and I doubt that will change here as it seems to like further so one I will look to lay, my money will be riding on AUTUMN FLIGHT 9/1 who is usually held up for a late run and is dropped in class to run in this race and hopefully that will rejuvenate after its 2 runs so far this year have been quite poor but it has won before without giving prior warning of coming back to form. 

Autumn Flight 16/1 7th -1pt 

Total -1pt 

BATH 7.05 

Not a bad race for a class 6 affair and there's a couple of known front running types amongst them, firstly i will look to lay *Nigg Bay 6/1 who is forecast to be five to one and that looks poor value for a horse that needs a longer distance to show its best form, Silver Diva 12/1 could make the frame if it can reproduce its best rating from 2021 but is been a few spots below that level so far this year, Andre Amar 6/1 is my 2nd top rated and it recorded its best rating over this course and distance this year but UBAHHA 9/4 is rated 2lbs better plus its one of the 2 possible pacesetters in this race so if getting to the front it should prove hard to catch.

Who is the Best Horse Racing Tipster in England?

Who is the Best Horse Racing Tipster in England? 

To be fair, you will be a confident, intelligent and fantastic horse racing tipster to stick your hand up in the air if ever asked this question. 

Perhaps even a little bit modest too! 

However, from the great and the good there are many very successful tipsters affording his or her followers a tidy profit. 

We've all heard the names of popular tipsters bandied about. 

Hugh Taylor, a king to his many fans. 

My good friend, Craig, has put this man on a pedestal since the year dot. In fact, if he opposes one of the maestros' selections it's like he's found himself in a boxing ring with Mike Tyson, back in the day, and looking eagerly for the corner to throw in the towel before the competition starts to heat up. 

Eric Winner is a respected website which details free tips to all those who wish to follow his selections. As with all horse racing tipster reviews, the fortune of the punter, gambler, investor can bring good days and bad. However, what matters is that long term your tipster is in profit. That's the key to a successful horse racing tipster. 

Eric has taken years to create his very own rating system. His secret is to inform readers that median times are flawed. That edge helped him tip a 100/1 winner!  (Yes, he backed it himself, too). It's important to realise that all tipsters aren't made equally. Each have their own approach - niche. 

It's logical to question: Do you want the jack of all trades and master of none? 

That decision could be a costly mistake.

In addition, it's important to find a horse racing tipster who has a fighting chance to beat the bookies. 

Someone you respect who makes it their endeavour to find winners. 

Also, it is important to find a tipster who matches your interest. For example, Eric is dedicated to sprinters. Why? Because his assessment, rating system, is much more accurate over 5 or 6-furlongs. Other tipsters may specialise in different horse age groups, handicaps, pattern races or even certain bets. 

They do so for a very good reason. 

You may ask why?

Because there simply isn't enough time to know everything. And even more importantly, you recognise for a horse racing tipster to be successful, they don't need to know everything. They simply need to know a little more than most. 

So who is the best horse racing tipster in England? 

It's a difficult if not impossible question to answer because even the best of tipsters have quiet times (when literally nothing goes right) and those elusive purple patches (when they can simply do no wrong). 

Whether you pay for horse racing tips, enjoy making your own selections or visit a free website like Eric Winner, you can be sure the best horse racing tipsters are very professional, dedicated and have a passion which sets them apart from the crowd. 

Which horse racing tipster do you think is the best in England?

1:00 Wolverhampton Racing Tips (5th July)

WOLVERHAMPTON 1.00 

A poor looking class 6 race where I cannot confidently find anything of value to lay and as for the winner that's just as vague, Charming Kid 12/1 and Secretfact 8/1 could be the one/s to set the early pace and the former could be a danger if allowed an easy lead and sets its own slower than usual pace and then kick-on and try and pinch the race from the front, Duke Of Firenze 12/1 is my 3rd top rated has good jockey stats but its 34 runners and 113 days since the stable last had a winner, Scale Force 7/1 is my 2nd top rated and will be trying to stay on at the finish the jockeys 0-4 record for the stable is a bit off-putting but the trainer has had a 2-9 winners in the last 2 weeks and might be the safest option in the race, top rated is Billy Dylan 4/1 but the trainer is 0-34 at the this course and hasn't had a winner from 13 runners over the last 180 days while the jockey is 0-9 for the stable, I think the winner will come from these three but which one I'm not sure and maybe dutching all 3 is the way to go.

WOLVERHAMPTON 1.30 Div I 

This 1st division has a couple of front runners so it should be a true run race for the class, Wrought Iron 7/2 won last time out but in a slow run affair but I'm not sure I could lay this 3yo but it doesn't look good value at the price to win this race, I could possibly lay *Rogue Storm (non-runner) who looks better suited to a shorter trip, Million Reasons 10/1 might get outpaced in the early stages and then stay on too late to catch the leaders so another possible lay, Freedom Flyer 18/1 is my 3rd top rated and one of the possible pacesetters and could do enough to make the frame as long as it doesn't get drawn into a battle for the lead in the early stages, Independence Day 6/1 could be the one to do best of those coming from off the pace being my 2nd top rated but I will be hoping that *DRISH HERO 9/2 can set the pace to the race and then prove too hard to catch for the rest of the field. 

*NR

WOLVERHAMPTON 2.00 Div II 

This 2nd division only has 1 known front runner, I cannot see much to lay that I think be of value to do so but the betting will be the final decider, Youllovemewheniwin and Salta Resta are my joint 4th top rated horses, sitting in 3rd top spot is Griggy 7/1 but this one can find the trip a bit too far if there's a fast early pace which might happen in this race and the same applies to Gustav Graves 4/1 who sits in 2nd top spot but I am hoping that PORTELET BAY 13/2 who is the aforementioned front runner and my top rated so if setting the right pace should be able to keep the others at bay and lead all the way.

Portelet Bay 13/2 Unp -1pt 

Total -1pt 

PONTEFRACT 3.45 

A field of 8 so lets hope they all run although I don't think I can see and each way bet, I cannot see anything of value to lay in this race so lets look for the winner, Chairmanoftheboard 6/1 is my 3rd top rated but that is using its best time from 2020 so not sure if it can repeat that rating so maybe I was wrong and this one could be worth laying, Recall The Show 9/2 is my 2nd top rated but that was recorded in lower class races than this one so maybe another I could look to lay but that's a bit risky if LAMPANG 10/1 doesn't do what I expect, it is my top rated and its the only known front runner in the race so hopefully it can lead all the way here and does have decent trainer/jockey stats. 

Lampang 10/1 1st +10pts 

Total +10pts

BRIGHTON 5.40 

A field of 12 with 3 known front running types, I can eliminate 5 of the runners as having virtually, never say never, no chance of winning but will all be double figure prices, King Crimson 6/1 is a possible pacesetter and my 4th top rated so could go well but the jockeys 0-10 record for the stable is off-putting, Hot Hot Hot 5/1 comes out 3rd best and will be trying to stay on at the finish but its only won once from 16 previous runs on turf and the jockeys record is 1-22 for the stable, Arzaak 4/1 is my 2nd top rated but its 141 days and 50 runners since the stable last had a winner, my top rated is Lethal Angel 16/1 but the trainer is 0-7 at this course and hasn't had a winner in the last month from 21 runners, I think the winner is most likely to come from my top four ratings but with them all having negatives against them I'm not sure which one will win so dutching the four of them might be the way to go or if there's no value in dutching them then maybe leaving the race alone might be best or is an each way bet on the outsider of the 4 the way to go. Not bet.

4:10 Ayr Racing Tips (4th July)

AYR 4.10 

ABERAMA GOLD may not want it to be good to firm ground and hasn't been in good form lately but is one of 2 known front running types in this race but i will look to lay this one as I think its best form came in a race where it got towed along in a fast run affair. 

BLACK FRIDAY another that doesn't seem to appreciate fast ground and maybe some cut in the ground suits it best and another lay if of value to do so. 

SUMMER SANDS has only poor recent form to its name and i expect it will be one of the outsiders in this race. 

CALL ME GINGER can be held up or track the leaders and comes out in 3rd top spot on my own speed figure ratings so could make the frame.

MUSIC SOCIETY comes out in 2nd top spot but as I'm not convinced by the top rated horses ratings where I think it produced a flukey time and likely a 1 off. 

QUEST FOR FUN is only 4th top rated on my figures and can be held up or track the leaders and would need to improve to win this race. 

ADNAAN this won a slow run affair at Newmarket last year and usually races in midfield before trying to stay on at the finish but maybe not quickly enough to win this race. 

HURAIZ is the other front running type in this race but hasn't been in good form lately and its best rating came back in 2020. 

SUMMARY: I expect the pace to be set by Aberama Gold and/or Huraiz but I'm not sure either of them can stay there for the win and could be worth laying if of value to do so, I might also loo to lay the 3yo Adnaan but only to a small amount, my money will be riding on MUSIC SOCIETY 9/2 who has what looks a positive jockey booking so hopefully connections are expecting it to run a big race here and get back to winning ways.

3:55 Chelmsford Racing Tips (3rd July)

CHELMSFORD 3.55 

ABOVE its best speed figure recorded here is good enough to make it my joint 3rd top rated and usually likes to track the leaders and could make the frame. 

AYR HARBOUR this one has poor form on its recent exploits and a longer distance might help this ones causes but not for me in this race. 

STRONG POWER I am not convinced this one really is a 6 furlong horse and its speed figures over this distance back up that theory so another I don't fancy in this race. 

PRINCESS SHABNAM a 3yo who is one of the two known front running types in this race and it comes out in 2nd top spot on my figures so should do enough to make the frame.

MOHAREB is the other front running type but has only produced relatively low speed figures since 2020 so another I cannot fancy to win here. 

TOLSTOY a 3yo who hasn't any form on the All-Weather tracks to its name but I think a slower surface might suit this one so one I could lay if value to do so. 

CRIMSON SAND has good trainer stats while its the jockeys first ride for the stable at least on the AW tracks and comes out top on my own unique speed figure ratings. 

SHANKO this 3yo comes out as the other joint 3rd top rated and likes to track the leaders so could make the frame. 

EL HADEEYAH another 3yo who likes to track the leaders but needs to improve time wise to win this race. 

SUMMARY The early pace could be set by Princess Shabnah and being my 2nd top rated it could prove hard to catch, I will be looking to lay Ayr Harbour 7/2 and Strong Power 9/1 if they are of value to lay but I will be siding with CRIMSON SAND 4/1 to be the winner the trainers good stats make me think connections are expecting it to go well and a repeat of its best rating recorded earlier this year would be good enough to win this race.

3:28 Beverley Racing Tips (2nd July)

BEVERLEY 3.28 

A typical Saturday class 4 handicap which is super competitive and to cap it all there's no known front running types in the race and I was going to leave this race alone but looking at the early tissue prices I saw that SOUL SEEKER 20/1 EW was forecast to be a 14/1 shot and if that is the case then it has to be worth an each way punt because if it can reproduce its best speed figure recorded in 2021 at Hamilton it would win this race so an each way punt will hopefully pay dividends and at an even bigger price than forecast I cannot let it run without some sort of a bet on it. 

Soul Seeker 22/1 7th -2pts

Total -2pts

SANDOWN 5.20 

The 2, King Of Stars 12/1 and Mines A Double 5/1 are the 2 known front runners in the race and come out in joint 5th top spot on my figures so will be setting the race up for something attacking later on in the race and the latter might be worth laying at the price, Just Glamorous 7/1 might be worth laying if a single figure price at the off as it doesn't seem to like good to firm ground so I will only know for sure when I've watched an earlier race to see for myself what the going is like as there are plenty of showers forecast all over the country at times, Autumn Flight and Fantasy Master can produce good speed figures but in lower class races or on genuinely good ground, my money will be riding on LIVE IN THE MOMENT 9/1 who has been running in better class races than this one and likes to track the leaders before staying on the stronger at the finish.

CARLISLE 5.50 

A 10 runner class 5 apprentice jockeys handicap with 2 front running types and a 3rd, Corinthia Knight 10/3 that can lead if needs be so perhaps it wont try those tactics in this race and time wise it might not be able to lead if it wanted to as it can struggle to stay the distance with a fast early pace and if a single figure price I will look to lay it another I will look to lay is Somewhere Secret 10/3 who doesn't appear to like the faster going so as long as it doesn't rain I don't think it can win this race, Danzan 9/2 my 3rd top rated and Redrosezorro 6/1 my 2nd top rated are both front running types so should set a blistering early pace and I hope they might push themselves a little too hard and play into the hands of YUKON MISSION 8/1 who has good trainer/jockey usually races in midfield ready to pounce in the closing stages and this race could be run to suit it and with a clear passage pick up the leaders nearing the finish 

NO BET - SOFT GROUND

CARLISLE 6.50 Div I 

Not a bad race for a class 6 affair ten runners and 2 known front runners in Abel Handy and Shesadabber and the latter is my 4th top rated so with an easy lead it could possibly make the frame, I laid Sixcor 5/2 last time it ran and I will lay it again here as it stays on as though further suits it better and its best rating at this distance isn't good enough to win this race I will also look to lay Stanley Snugfit 7/1 who has a slow time recorded on good going and I don't think it likes good to from ground and the trainer is 0-13 at this course, Cuppacoco is my 3rd top rated but doesn't want really fast ground, Twice Adaay comes out 2nd best on time it recorded at Doncaster which is a completely different type of course, my money will be riding on the 3yo JUNGLE BEE 7/2 who finished 2nd last time and has been found an ideal opportunity to go one better in this race and break its duck at the 13th attempt. 

NO BET - SOFT GROUND

CARLISLE 7.20 Div II 

This 2nd division only has 9 runners but looks by far the weaker of the 2 divisions, Quanah 11/2 is the only known front running type in the race but I'm not sure it likes the faster ground so may struggle here and its one I will look to lay, its fairly close between my top 3 rated horses, Shes A Deva is my 3rd top rated but the 7lb’s the apprentice claims makes it joint top rated but its only won once in 16 attempts which isn't prolific the same applies to Elzaal who is 1-17, so I will side with HOT SCOOP 3/1 who has won 3 times in 18 runs and is my original top rated and will be staying on towards the finish of this race.

NO BET - SOFT GROUND

4:00 Thirsk Racing Tips (29th June)

THIRSK 4.00 

The early pace to this race could well be set by Rathbone 6/1 and it could do enough to make the frame if it can reproduce its best speed figure/rating it recorded in 2021, as for something to lay I will be relying on Pendleton 4/1 and this will probably be my main way of making a profit from this race as it doesn't seem to reproduce its best on good to firm ground, Total Commitment and Cairn Gorn could both go well and could possibly make the frame but as for the winner I will have my money riding on the 3yo MOJOMAKER 6/1 who likes to track the leaders and if reproducing the rating it recorded at Doncaster this year it would win this race a shade cosily but the stable hasn't been in good form recently which is a little off-putting so my stakes wont be at full strength.

3:50 Hamilton Racing Tips (28th June)

HAMILTON 3.50 

A field of ten runners with a couple of known front runners amongst them, I have got 3 horses marked down as possible lays, Ballyconneely Bay 9/2 who might find the distance too far on good to firm ground and only produced a slow speed figure on good ground, Kapono 14/1 who also may not find good to firm ground ideal and Judy's Park 4/1 who is my joint 2nd top rated might be outclassed but all 3 of them have good or better trainer and/or jockey stats, I am of the opinion none of those stats mean a horse can overcome their weaknesses so might be worth small lays if of value to do so, I have GLOBAL HUMOR 22/1 as my other joint 2nd top rated but this one hasn't been in good form lately but looking back over its history it has been known to bounce back to form without warning and therefore could be worth an each way punt, the front running JORDAN'S ELECTRIC 9/2 is my top rated but only by 2lbs and this one has poor trainer, 1-29, and jockey, 1-20, stats which are a bit off-putting, hence why I'm going with 2 bets instead of just the one, but the latter has finished 2nd on its last 2 runs and could go one better here.

PONTEFRACT 2.15 

A field of 6 for this dash but with no known front running types in the race it always puts me on the backfoot and means my stakes will kept fairly low, Rhythm 15/2 might need further and this race might not be run to suit its racing style, Coleys Koko 14/1 and Lady Celia 7/1 are capable of producing a good speed figure but usually in lower class races than today's class 4 affair, Esken Rose 6/1 hasn't any distance form to its name but has faded at 6 furlongs so today's distance might be ideal, Elegant Erin 7/4 would need to improve time wise to win this race, it has won its last 3 races and might now be in the grip of the official handicapper so I will put my faith in HAVEAGOMECCA 3/1 who has decent trainer/jockey stats and could go one place better than when it finished second last time out.
