4:45 Goodwood Racing Tips (26th May)

GOODWOOD 4.45 

A poor turnout of just 6 runners for this class 3 dash with 2 known front running types and they are my top rated pair as well so the race should be won from the front, Angle Land might not want good to firm ground and I'm not sure what to expect from Watchya who has weakened over 6 furlongs but might get outpaced here, Some Nightmare might need further on good to firm ground and Vince Lombardi may prefer a further distance to show its best form, The Defiant is my 2nd top rated but might have got towed along in a fast run race, there is only 1lb between my top 2 but I will be backing LIHOU who has been in the better form of the pair and should prove the stronger nearing the finish. 

Bet LIHOU 3/1 2nd -1pt 

Lay ANGLE LAND 9/2 -4.5pts

Total -5.5pts

PONTEFRACT 8.55 

Again a poor turnout of just 6 runners but this time there is just 1 known front running type and that is Impeach and as this one is my 2nd top rated the others could struggle to catch it but I do have BALLINTOY HARBOUR rated higher using a 2021 rating it recorded and this one runs on well at the business end of its races and likes the good to firm ground. Ventura Express is my 3rd top rated but would need to improve a few spots to win this race and I can see a reason to lay the other 3 runners as they all race as though a longer distance would improve their chances of winning a race. 

Bet BALLINTOY HARBOUR 8/1 5th -1pt  

Lay VINCE LOMBARDI 5/4 + LATE ARRIVAL 5/1 +2pts

3:30 Pontefract Racing Tips (23rd September)

PONTEFRACT 3.30 

An 8 runner race with 3 known front runners amongst them but I think they will set it up for something coming from off the pace, I could look to lay Penny Pot Lane, maybe not this class, Oso Rapide 10/3 who has shown very little time wise and the same applies to Cottam Lane 10/3 even when winning, Bossipop, Jordan Electrics, Lady Nectar and Mutanaaseq could all go well and battle to make the frame but i will be backing the top weight BOWMAN 11/2 who if it can reproduce its Carlisle time it would be winning this race a shade cosily. 

Bowman 11/2 4th -1pt 

Lay bets: Oso Rapido -3pts, Penny Pot Lane +1pt, Cottam Lane +1pt

Total -2pts

PONTEFRACT 4.05

The early pace might be set by Ben Macdul and/or Modular Magic either could go well with an easy lead but the former would need to improve time wise while the latter might be outclassed in this race, I will look to lay Saluti 11/2 who might prefer a longer trip and this race might not be run to suit it, the trainer Paul Midgley has 3 runners in this race and I think he could win the race with either INDIAN SOUNDS 10/3 or BALLINTOY HARBOUR 15/2 who both like to track the leaders and then stay on strongly at the finish and the latter does seem to need good to firm ground to show its best form, i will be backing them both in this race. 

Indian Sounds 10/3 -1pt 

Ballintoy Harbour 8/1 8th -1pt 

Lay bets Saulti 11/2 -5.5pts 

Total -7.5pts

PONTEFRACT 5.15 

I hope all take part so I can have an each way bet in this race, I would look to lay Jorvik Prince who may need further and is better on the AW tracks, Gorgeous General 8/1 who also may need further to shine and Muatadel 11/2 who doesn't seem to like good to firm ground, the early pace might be set by Fossos who is my 3rd top rated or Equate both being 3yo’s could improve, Newgate Angel comes out 2nd top using a 2020 time my money will be on YOUNG TIGER 12/1 who comes out on top for just this year and its better time from 2020 makes it my top rated on overall figures and luckily the price is big enough for me to have an each way wager. 

Young Tiger 12/1 4th -2pts 

Lay bets: Muatadel -4.5pts, Jorvick Prince +1pt, Gorgeous General +1pt

WOLVERHAMPTON 6.30

There's only 1 horse aged above four in this race so I am a bit short of data to be confident in this race and the funny thing is the oldest horse in the race *KATHERINE PLACE 6/1 recorded a fast time at Chelmsford when it won last time out and will probably be the favourite but it has been found a good opportunity to follow up that win and its best time over this course and distance is good enough for 2nd top spot and being the most natural front runner in the field it could lead all the way but stall 10 isn't ideal if others change their usual style and try to lead as well, the only horse with a higher speed figure is ROMAN ENCOUNTERS 14/1 (EW) who’s figure was recorded on this surface but at Newcastle and if this one is an each way price I will definitely be backing it.

4:40 Yarmouth Racing Tips (5th August)

YARMOUTH 4.40 

Only 6 runners in this race with only Giogiobbo known to like to front run in this race but would need to improve time wise to win this race, Castana Dia is a 3yo and my 3rd top rated and will be trying to stay on strongly at the finish, Spirited Guest comes out 2nd best on my figures and it likes to track the leaders and then stay on surly nearing the finish but my money will be riding on DESERT GULF 7/2 a 3yo who won last time out over this course and distance where the time put it at the top of my figures for this race and a repeat of that time would see it winning a shade cosily. 

Desert Gulf 7/2 1st +3.5pts

Total +3.5pts

DONCASTER 5.42 

In this ten runner race I can only find one known front runner in the shape of the top weight Copper Knight who time wise comes out joint fourth top rated so could do enough to make the frame if allowed an easy lead, I will be looking to lay Many A Star if its a single figure price, who only has a slow time over this course and distance on good ground and will be trying to stay on at the finish but I think it will be too late to win this race, Equitation is my 3rd top rated and will also be trying to stay on at the finish, in second top spot is TENAYA CANYON 6/1 but is moved very close to top spot with its five pound apprentices claim and has good trainer/jockey stats, my top rated is BALLINTOY HARBOUR 3/1 and this ones trainer is also in good form recently and as they are both three year olds they could improve further and will be carrying my money.
