Todays free tip is as follows:

Horse:’ Black Corton

Time: 6:30 Worcester

Current Odds: 6/4

Analysis of the race as follows:

Novice chase betting is with a bit of caution, Black Corton has a penalty for his win recently.  I just think he jumped well on his last start, although beaten, it was a good run.  And with Bryony Frost taking off 5lb, he can beat the favourite and his other two rivals.

His main rival today is Knight Of Noir, he is currently favourite, but his two recent wins have been over hurdles, and his latest three Chase runs have been well below his hurdle form.

I don’t see the step up to 2m 7f being too much of a problem for Black Corton, and think he can win.

I may put an update on around 3pm, I’m just a bit concerned thunder storms are forecast !

Update:

Pretty clear at Worcester at the moment I am told, it’s poured rain in Guernsey, lots of lightning as well.  Dry here now and still mild temperature.

Today’s free tip is as follows: French Flyer

Time: 2:00 Ayr

Current Odds: 11/8

Analysis of the race as follows:

This horse won very well on his debut at Ayr, that was over 6f.  Today he races over 7f, which I think he will like, his jockey rode him last time when he won, so a lot of positives !

The weather is forecast to stay dry, so with good ground to race on, I think French Flyer will be too good for his rivals.  Poet’s Prince looks the only real threat, but barring accidents and the heavens opening, I’m having a good bet on my tip.

Nice winner yesterday on the Update.  Theydon Grey winning at 5/2, I was quite taken with Georgia Cox’s ride, she didn’t panic when looking as though she might get headed, kept her horse going well to win.  Harry Angel, who won the July Cup, was the horse I thought was the biggest threat to the favourite yesterday.  Caravaggio was  a shade dissapointing, although he ran on well close home to be 4th, he just hit a bit of a flat spot about 2 furlongs out, and could not make up the leeway on the horses ridden closer to the pace, he will bounce back though, I’m sure of that!

No tip advised today.  I hope Roger Federer can create a bit of history today and win Wimbledon again, think it could be win number 8 !

Todays free tip is as follows:

Horse: Carravgio

Time: 4:35 Newmarket

Current odds: 11/10

Analysis of the race as follows:

This horse races from of the pace, he won well recently at the big Ascot meeting, beating some of his main rivals that oppose him again today.  Harry ‘s Angel is likely to be ridden from the front or very close to the pace today, and is what I see as the main danger. But with the excellent Ryan Moore on top, Caravaggio will be very hard to beat, his odds are short, but I am backing him.

Weekly Update:

I was racing this week in Newmarket,it was nice to see lots of friends and family during my short stay.  I did go to the Sales in Newmarket as well for a couple of days, the July sales are normally for horses in and out of training, some of the bigger stables sell at this sale, as they are preparing for the influx of yearlings that start arriving normally between late August until the end of the year.  Hence the clear out of horses not up to the horses that the big owners, for example the Arabs want.

Late Update .

Im backing  Theydon Grey in the 4:45 York price looks value at 5/2!

Today’s free tip is as follows:

Horse: Dragons Tail

Time: 2:50 Ascot

Current Odds: 11/4

I think this horse has good form, he ran well recently at Ascot, he returns today in a lesser race.  His trainer is doing well with his horses, my slight concern is that regular jockey Richard Kingscote is not riding, but his rider today is more than capable. I think he should be OK on the ground, as long as it’s not pouring rain , I’m going to back him, though not a max bet !

No tip today, travelling to Newmarket for races tomorrow.

No tip today. Few horses running today I follow, but the races have a few unraced horses from decent yards, that could be useful.   So I’m watching today.

Todays free Tip as follows:

Horse: Three Star General

Time: 3;35 Worcester

Current Odds: 13/8

This horse is a course and distance winner. It  looks as though connections have found another good race to follow up, he needs no downpour of rain,  which may happen,currently the ground is ideal.  I will keep an eye on the weather before having a bet. I think he will be ridden close to the pace, and his jockey knows him well.

Possible main threat is Whatzdjazz, although her last run was below par, she needs to perform better today to beat my selection.

Had a good evening last night at the races in Jersey.  The weather was good and lots of people enjoying themselves, really nice setting for a racecourse.

Todays Free tip as follows:

Horse: Cliffs Of Moher

Time: 3:35 Sandown

Current Odds: 2/1

I think this horse has a great chance today, big danger I think is Barney Roy. It will be good race to watch, I just think Cliffs of Moher has been primed for this race, his master trainer has many horses he could of ran today, but this is his first choice. Ryan Moore knows the horse well, unlike Eminent, who has a new rider, not sure about that change as Jim Crowley has given this horse some fine rides in top races.

No tip today.

I am going racing tonight in Jersey.  It is the Champion Hurdle at Les Landes racecourse tonight, not large field as only 4 runners !

Toretto runs in the last race, I’ve been riding him out for local trainer here in Guernsey, Jan Coomer, we hope he will run better than last time, but to be fair to the horse it was over 1m.  Today his race is over 1m 4f, much more suitable.  This horse is a real old character, he is fitter than he was last time,  he is an old gentleman and pleasure to ride at home. Fingers crossed for a good show!
