A late post today. A good winner for my subscribers today, King Of Speed 2.55 Redcar got the better of the favourite by about a neck, returned at 9/2 as he drifted in the betting. One horse at Punchestown 6.30 Captain Corageous, I thought would win. Pretty short priced but should get the job done.

A decent end to the month for my subscribers, with another healthy profit. More soon.

A good winner for my subscribers yesterday. The Tide Turns was advised yesterday 5.35 Lingfield when he was 15/8. He returned at 13/8, with a cosy success under Luke Morris.

Today’s meeting at Beverley has been called off due to waterlogged conditions. So a bit of caution advised if backing on the grass today. One horse I think can follow up at Saint Cloud 12.25 is Ebaiyra. She has proved she acts on heavy ground, and takes on Raabihah again today, very little between them on form and it will be a good race, I just prefer the jockey on my selection, which could be the difference.

More soon.

With soft ground at Carlisle I am not getting too involved there. Although I do think Lexington Knight has been found a good opportunity of breaking his maiden 3.55. He has solid form, and should be ok on the ground.

In France at Chantilly, In Crowd 2.05 – was impressive on debut, and has a strong chance of winning again here. Villa Darya 2.35 is around 7/1, she won and then ran a solid third, she would be my pick each way at those odds.

A massive gamble on four horses trained by Iain Jardine today, 3 at Carlisle and an unraced two year old Wiganese 3.40. I hope he can get all four, but it’s a big ask, Tomily sets the ball rolling at 1.35 Carlisle. I know Iain well, he can certainly train, he has expressed that it is not his money that has been behind the bets as some where around double figures last night.

More soon.

Racing at York has a couple of races left. Albahr 4.15 is well thought of, if he can overcome his inexperience he could be the one to beat. In France at Longchamp, In Swoop 5.00 is short odds to win. He has a slight weight pull with Sublimis who beat her last time, so it will be a good race to watch, with two classy horses lining up. I also like Sunrise Valley 6.05 Newmarket, who was second on her debut and that was against both sexes. With this a fillies race only, she is the one to beat.

More soon.

At Leopardstown today, it may pay to follow the Ballydoyle horses. Jeroboam 1.45 could set the ball rolling in the maiden. He has to overcome a difficult draw from stall 10, but his main threat has stall 11, so with his experience I think he can shade it from Eaglefield. Later at 3.15 Bolshoi Ballet faces Mac Swiney in a good Derby trial, it will be a good race, with his recent run, the former should have the edge.

At Ludlow Byzantine Empire was an eyecatcher on his debut over hurdles at Newbury. He should come forward for that run and if handling the tricky track should get the better of Olympic Conquer, who has course experience and is the horse to beat.

More soon.

A good winner advised for my subscribers yesterday. Japan was advised at 15/8 yesterday, he was returned at 13/8. Running out a cosy victory for Ryan Moore in the 3.15 Chester.

The ground at Chester today is likely to ride a bit ‘tacky’ with drying conditions. Armory 2.15 should be too good for his rivals, and will be ok with underfoot conditions.

I do like the look of Amazonian Dream 5.00 Nottingham. A good second on his debut at Newbury, with that experience he can go one better today.

At Ascot Cadeau D’Or 1.20 has run well at the track previously, and has a decent chance of winning the apprentice handicap for his very capable rider Josh Bryan.

More soon.

With a few races down at Chester, the ground has a fair bit of give in it. So looking for something that will handle give in the ground is a must. I do think Immelmann 4.15 could well run well, around 6/1 he would be my pick each way, he has plenty of stamina in his pedigree and he should handle the ground conditions ok.

Bucks Boggle 4.35 Kelso has a big chance of winning the final race on the card. He ran very well on debut behind a useful horse and can pay for his long trip from England to Scotland.

More soon.

Today racing looks pretty difficult trying to find winners. If looking to back something later at an each way price, Heavenly Rose 8.00 Wolverhampton could be worth an interest at around 6/1. She was behind the favourite Far Hope on debut, when the latter won at Newbury. With a bit of improvement and a good draw, she has a fair chance of shaking up the favourite tonight.

Earlier in the day at Fakenham at 2.10, Ar Mest drops into a seller for the first time. He has dropped down the weights, wears cheekpieces for the first time and should be good enough to win this. His main rival is Ferrobin who has a definite chance also, but I expect the former to come out on top.

Today see’s the first 3 year old colts classic at Newmarket. The 2,000 Guineas over the straight Rowley mile, which will be ran on ground on the fast side of good. No rain has fallen in Newmarket of late, but the track is well maintained, so it will be a good surface with no ‘jar’ in the ground. It is wide open this year. Battleground the mount of Frankie Dettori is seen as the second string for the Ballydoyle team. I think he has a good chance of being in the mix. One Ruler is a course winner over the mile, he is another I think has a good chance of being in the mix at the business end, he also is the second string for Godolphin. It will be a pointer to the Derby,ran in the first week of June, as it is always regarded as the best trial for that race.

I do think later in the card Crossford 5.25 has a good chance of winning the last race of the day. He ran well at the track recently, and has the right profile for this race, risen 3lb for that run, he can progress and beat likely main threat Magical Land.
