Some decent racing today. I managed to get a winner on the update with Welsby winning, backed at 6/4 so it was good result. It was good to see Unowhatimeanharry win well at Aintree, he is worth following over the winter in top races.

Big meeting at Doncaster today with the final big handicap of the year on the flat at 3.15.
Todays free tips are as follows:
Horse: Towerlands Park
Time: 3.15 Doncaster
Current Odds: 9/1 EW
This lightly raced horse comes here off a good third last time, that was his first run for a long time so should improve off it. He proved that day that he acts with give underfoot, and the step up in trip to 1m 4f should not pose a problem as he won over 1m 3f before. He has good each way claims and has a very good jockey riding in David Probert. Lots of rivals with chances, Royal Line has been running well when winning twice, he for me was a bit disappointing last time when third at Newbury. Saunter ran well at Newmarket recently and is what I think as right in there with a chance.
Horse: If The Cap Fit’s
Time: 12.40 Wincanton
Current Odds: 4/6
Although skinny odds, I do think this horse is a good thing to win. He won well last time and can follow up again under his penalty.
Update:
Welsby is well fancied in 4:00 Aintree, I’m backing it at around 6/4. Strong stable and always good in bumper races.

Pleased to get back on track with a winner last night put on the update message, with Ifubelieveindreams obliging at 13/8 in the last at Chelmsford.
Today is quite difficult, nothing as yet to put on. The two year old race I mentioned yesterday at Chelmsford, the 6:45 won by Photographer, who beat Silverbook, these two are horses to follow as they will both prove useful I think. The winner got first run on the second , although probably he was the best horse in the race.
Possibe that I could put an update message on later today, keep a look if you follow.
Update:
Nothing to look at until Saturday.

Todays Free tip is as follows:
Horse: Middle Kingdom
Time: 6.45 Chelmsford
Current Odds: 11/8
This horse has been off the track since April, but is unbeaten in two starts so far. He was green and looked like he would be a nice horse going forward when winning at Newmarket in April, he races off 94 today, so in what looks like a competitive race, he will have to be fit to win today. Petite Jack was a winner last time at Chelmsford, he has gone up 4lb, and is a threat today, but hopefully my selection can get a nice position and come home strong.
Some nice looking two year old races at Chelmsford. Silverbook is highly regarded and has been well backed in the 6:45. It looks a potentially good race as the raced horse Making Miracles has been running well and has a decent chance, Photographer is interesting as well, he has a choice pedigree, and looks as though he could be in the mix in what is a small field of only 6 starters.
Update:
Ifubelieveindreams 8.15 Chelmsford is around 13/8 , think it will be very hard to beat, I’m backing hoping to break a run of misses lately !

Today’s free tip is as follows:
Horse: Alqamar
Time: 6:40 Kempton
Current Odds: 11/10
A shade short in price, but a lot of rivals are out of form so I think my selection can win on his debut on a synthetic surface. Little bit below par last time, but a very good run before when second, repeat of that form and he can win this. 3 year olds have a good record in this race. Of rivals it is difficult to say what has been running well of late Rydan has some fair form, although not totally genuine, Isaac Bell won a maiden last time at Kempton, but I don’t think that will be good enough to win this.

I thought the ride my selection got tonight by Jim Crowley was a shocker ! He sat way too far back, and then when making headway, decided to go into traffic, rather than make his run on the outer in the straight. Sauchiehall Street did well to be a never nearer 4th. I know Crowley was champion jockey last year, but has been poor on some rides this year, namely the horse he rode last night for the Queen at Kempton, Seniority who needs held up, was let go down the back straight about 1 mile from home, and tired in the last furlong to be third.

Today’s free tip is as follows:
Horse: Sauchiehall Street
Time: 6:15 Kempton
Current Odds: 5/2
This horse did well to win last time over course and distance. He has to improve a bit to win again as he meets two rivals who did finish close to him last time, and are better off at the weights today. I just thought he was blocked twice last time when making his run, and still managed to find a way to win. He has a jockey change today with Jim Crowley taking over from Mitch Godwin, not sure the reason but hopefully Crowley can get the same response today. Of rivals Sotomayer could run well, he has shown ability and Secratario has been running well and has a chance of being in the mix.
In the 5:15 Kempton Bow Street looks as though he has a very good chance to get off the mark, he takes on a lot of unexposed rivals, some of them are unraced, and may well be useful. He is just very short in the betting, one to double up with Sauchiehall Street !

Todays Free tip is as follows:
Horse: Ocala
Time: 1.20 Kempton
Current Odds: 5/4
This filly ran well on debut, she was second to a filly that won a listed race impressively at Newmarket a few days ago. Of her rivals Medal Of Honour has had a lot of tries to win, currently still trying. George Villiers is the main rival for me, he was slightly disappointing last time, maybe the change onto all weather today may suit him. I like my selection ‘s trainer and jockey, and think she can win.

Nothing solid today as yet, so no tip.
Good to see a lot of long shots winning last night at the Breeders Cup. Wuheida (only UK win) was a good winner of the fillies mile for William Buick, he rode an intelligent race to win, the second was a shade unlucky.

Another good win yesterday with River Wylde making a winning debut over fences at Uttoxeter, backed at 4/5, he won well.
Todays Free tip is as follows:
Horse: Lord Glitters
Time: 3.30 Newmarket
Current Odds: 10/11
Although short odds and a bit to find on ratings against Bravo Zolo under race conditions. I think my selection can win. He has been progressing for his trainer with a good win last time. A lot of his rivals have form over shorter trip’s than 1m, mainly 7f, so that is a major factor today. Newmarket Rowley mile track takes a horse that stays the trip well, a straight track is always stiffer as turning tracks give the horse the chance to stay a trip better, on a straight track the race tends to develop a bit further from the winning post ! Bravo Zolo could be my selection’s main rival, if he is in good shape as he has been off the track for a while.
