Some Early 2023 Targets for Eyecatchers

2023-01-02T18:48:58+00:00January 2nd, 2023|

New Years Day targets

Minella Indo won at Tramore beating Stattler and is arguably no longer the ‘forgotten horse’ of the Gold Cup. Form at the Cheltenham Festival read 1212 and he was a whopping 40/1 for the Gold Cup before yesterday. I highlighted that a 50/1 double winning at Tramore and the Gold Cup was a good bet and we now have 50/1 about a 20/1 shot who is likely to go straight for the Gold Cup.

From the last email we sent

How we’ve go 50/1 about a 20/1 shot in the Cheltenham Gold Cup

It sounds like they are going straight to the […]

Christmas Eyecatchers

In this blog post, I will highlight some of the standout horses that caught my attention during the Christmas period. These may include contenders for the Grand National as well as those with potential for success in the Pertemps Final at the Cheltenham Festival

Are these blogs worth reading?

Fontwell 11:57

Rambo T – Handicapping. Could be interesting, decent R Figures, beaten by a smart sort last time out in Givega

(Edit – Handicap Mark of 116 – that looks very workable) 

Leopardstown 12:00

Parmenion­ – This horse placed third in the same race where State Man fell before going on to win a […]

3 for the Welsh National

A trio for the Welsh National

Truckers Lodge – Paul Nicholls

Truckers Lodge has already competed in 3 Welsh Nationals finishing 2nd in 2019 (off effective 136), 7th in 2020 (off effective 152) and 3rd in 2021 (off effective 150). This year I fully expect Freddie Gingell to ride and take 10lb off in a race named after his late mother AND the horse is only rated 141 now. That would see him running off an effective 131. Remember he was 2nd beaten just 1 1/4 lengths off 136 in 2019. I’m sure they left plenty of work in him when he ran in the handicap at Haydock […]

Saturday 3rd December Review

Another great day for the Ratings!

We started in great style with Minella Crooner beating RTR 2 I Am Maximus and in total we had 16 TOP RATED winners from 43 races at a strike rate of 37.21%. These included the impressive Jonbon, Landrake in Ireland, Quick Wave in the London National and Ashtown Lad in the Becher Chase Saturday 3rd December Ratings – FULLY UNLOCKED

Crooner beats Maximus – JUST

The Ratings got off to a flyer with TOP RATED Minella Crooner beating RTR 2 I Am Maximus in the first race of the day (remember the ratings for the first race are […]

Saturday 19th November – 4 For Saturday!

2022-11-18T18:50:34+00:00November 18th, 2022|

Saturday at Ascot & Haydock

I like 4 for tomorrow at Ascot & Haydock.

Ascot 12:55 We had Remastered last time out at Aintree win for us at 8/1 and finishing strongly into 2nd was Milan Bridge who was sent off favourite that day. He’s clearly improving and the switch to fences should bring out more improvement. As mentioned in our earlier video this week for Premium/Pro Members, we like horses that are going straight into handicaps over fences suggesting the trainer feels they have a workable mark. Quel Destin also for Paul Nicholls is likely to need the run having not raced for 658 days and […]
