Thursday Double...

Carlisle 14:40 - Astarador
2m, Class 3 Novices' Chase - Soft

A winner just under 2 weeks ago over C&D and under similar ground conditions, Astarador is tipped to go in again. A smooth performance from pillar to post showed that the bay gelding has taken well to the larger obstacles and although carrying a penalty this afternoon it should not be enough to stop him. He kept good company in bumpers and over hurdles and with race fitness on his side and the stable on fire at present should account for a couple of interesting newcomers to the chasing game.
(Early Price 5/4)
2ND

Carlisle 15:45 - Super Road Train
3m, Class 3 Handicap Chase - Soft

Previously tipped up by The Analyst the selection put up a gallant performance again over C&D last time out. Fancied last time to stay on better than his other rivals, Sue Smith's runner got going all too late and couldn't close the gap. With a run under his belt, conditions look ideal for Super Road Train to steam into the winner's enclosure today.
(Early Price 7/2)

Tuesday E/W Double...

Exeter 15:40 - Spare Cash E/W
3m, Class 3 Beginners' Chase - Good to Soft, Soft in Places

Spare Cash took his time to come to himself over hurdles last year, however trainer Alan King always thought whatever he did over the smaller obstacles would just be a stepping stone to further success over fences. Suited by the step upto 3 miles and a galloping track with cut in the ground, today's conditions look ideal. Gone To Lunch (connections are not totally sure about the ground so he may not even go to post) and The Tother One are of course the main dangers however at the prices and sure to be fit we side with Spare Cash to provide us with a little of what his name suggests. (Early Price 7/1)
UP

Exeter 16:40 - Palmers Peak E/W
2m 3f, Class 4 Handicap Chase - Good to Soft, Soft in Places

Decent form in the book and a reasonable handicap mark make Palmers Peak a fantastic looking E/W bet in a weak looking contest. Lot's of his rivals have several question marks over their ability and although they may come from more fashionable yards, this is not a race that will take much winning. A winner last time out at Kelso, Warren Marston's mount lowered the colours of the well thought of Flight Leader who strictly on hurdles form should won pulling a cart. That could prove a valuable scalp and with the Handicapper sure to keep an eye on him, this just might be the time to get on!! (Early Price 12/1)
UP

Monday Double...

Plumpton 14:20 - Apache Dawn
2m, Class 5 Maiden Hurdle - Good to Firm

Gary Moore has an exceptional record with these types and with Philip Hide booked Apache Dawn looks an outstanding bet in today's opener. 3rd last time out on the flat at Kempton Gary Moore's charge will be as fit as a butchers dog and a repeat of debut run over hurdles will see him take all the beating this afternoon. (Early Price 5/1)
3RD

Plumpton 16:20 - Knightsbridgelives
2m 5f, Class 4 Novices' Hurdle - Good t0 Firm

Thrown in the deep end in a Cheltenham bumper last time Knightsbridgelives makes his hurdling debut this afternoon for the "red hot" Alan King yard. Well thought of at home and certainly not rushed to make his bow over timber nothing will have been left to chance with regards to his jumping. Robert Thornton is riding out of his skin at the moment (21% strike rate in the last 14 days) and he can do the steering and get the better of novice chase winner Soulard. (Early Price 5/2)

Ludlow 15:10 - Herecomestanley
2m 5f, Class 4 Handicap Hurdle - Good to Firm

Herecomestanley represents the best form in the race and that is why he finds himself top of the handicap and headlining today's double. Looking all over the winner at Uttoxeter last time out before coming to grief at the last, if Charlie Poste managers to keep the partnership intact throughout he will take all the beating this afternoon. (Early Price 3/1)
3RD


Ludlow 16:50 - King Ali
2m 4f, Class 4 Beginners' Chase - Good to Firm

King Ali represents decent chasing form in a field where not to many can be given any sort of a chance over the larger obstacles. Callisto Moon represents the best level of form over hurdles however is not one to rely too heavily as he often finds one or two too good. AP is the man of the moment and is riding as good as he has done over any stage of his career. He has jumped ship from the McManus runner Money Point, yet we hold firm and back the champ to land today's double. (Early Price 9/4)
2ND

Wednesday Double...

Uttoxeter 15:05 - Diamond Harry
2m, Class 4 Novices' Hurdle - Good to Soft, Good in Places

This bay gelding could be a decent recruit to the hurdling game this season having won his first two starts in bumpers at Newbury. The last run back at the end of march was very eye catching with the front two pulling some 8 lengths and 22 lengths in front of the third and fourth placed runners. Money has come for the horse this morning so all will be revealed this afternoon. (Early Price 6/4)
WON 13/8F

Wetherby 16:50 - Hoopy
3m 1f, Class 5 Beginners' Chase - Firm, Good to Firm in Places

This looks a very winnable contest and our selection has got experience behind him. Having just lost out in a better class race than this at Perth recently The Analyst is hoping that the assistance of McCoy and the help of a tongue tie bring out more improvement in this chestnut gelding by Presenting, who ideally like a bit more give in the ground. (Early Price 7/4)
WON 7/4

DOUBLE WON 7.2/1

Tuesday Double...

Huntingdon 16:00 - Elaala
2m, Class 3 Handicap Hurdle - Good to Firm

Elaala opened up nicely to win a Class 3 event at Southwell last time and looks the one to beat today. Young Coleman takes of a handy 3lb and gets on well with this tough filly. Moon Star is a consistent sort who may prove best of the rest with Hibiki not fancied on today's faster ground. (Early Price 7/2)
2ND

Huntingdon 16:30 - Lyes Green
3m, Class 3 Novices' Chase - Good to Firm

Lyes Green was head and shoulders above these over hurdles and although he hasn't won since March 2006 a close up 3rd in the Lanzarote Hurdle at Kempton is just one example of kind of performance that he is capable of. Taking on some experienced Novices' (can there be such a thing) in his chasing bow today Lyes Green represents that RED HOT Oliver Sherwood and can get off the mark at the first time of asking at the expenses over the tried and tested Commemoration Day. (Early Price 3/1)
3RD

Monday Double...

Kempton 15:10 - Lake Windermere
7f, Class 5 Handicap - Standard

Lake Windermere is an interesting recruit to the all-weather game as John Gosden sends his filly south to Kempton and she looks to have a fantastic chance of completing back to back victories this afternoon. An impressive 2 1/4l's winner at Newmarket last time she can take advantage of today's drop in grade and get the week off to a flyer!! (Early Price 7/2)
2ND

Kempton 15:40 - Poyle Meg
6f, Class 4 Fillies' Maiden Stakes - Standard

We take on the "skinny, odds-on" favourite Damaniyat Girl, with a tough experienced filly that deserves to get off the mark after 4 previously competitive runs. A close up 7th in a Class 2 event last time out means that Poyle Meg sets the standard this afternoon and can get the better of Willie Haggas's chestnut filly who although 2nd last time out was well held and will need to improve again. (Early Price 11/2)

Carlisle 14:30 - Golden Child
2m 4f, Class 4 Beginners' Chase - Good to Soft, Soft in Places

Tom Molloy takes off a handy 5lb's for the In-form trainer Nigel Twiston-Davies as they team up with the Golden Child in today's beginners' chase. Un-lucky last time out when just seeming to tire over 3 miles at Perth, today's drop in trip and class look sure to suit and this 6 year old gelding can get off the mark over the larger obstacles today. (Early Price 9/2)
UP

Carlisle 16:40 - Super Road Train
3m, Class 4 Handicap Chase - Good to Soft, Soft in Places

Sue Smith saddles course specialist Super Road Train this afternoon who is two from two at the Cumberland track. Talented Tjade Collier claims his handy 3lb and gets on well with the gelding having won on him at Wetherby last year. Cadoudalas is an interesting recruit to the chasing game and looks tailormade to succeed over the larger obstacles. However we will side with experience this afternoon and stick Phill Kinsella's mount in the note book as one to follow later on in 2008/2009. (Early Price 10/3)
2ND

Thursday Double...

Southwell 14:30 - Can't Buy Time
3m, Class 4 Novices' Handicap Chase - Good, Good to Firm in Places

The step up to 3 miles and decent ground will suit this slightly frustrating type who is yet to get off the mark in seven attempts. However trainer Jonjo O'Neill looks to have placed his gelding perfectly this afternoon and repeat of his consistent if not inspiring recent performances will be good enough to take this weak looking contest. (Early Price 2/1)
WON 9/4F

Southwell 16:45 - Owlesbury Dream
2m 4f, Class 3 Mares' Handicap Hurdle - Good, Good to Firm in Places

AP describes this as his "best bet of the day" and we tend to agree as as the step upto 2m 4f, looks sure to suit Brendon Powells filly. A decent pipe opener at Fontwell last time, Owlesbury Dream will be a strip fitter this afternoon and can get the better of the proggresive Romping Home who looks high enough in the weights. (Early Price 3/1)
WON 11/4JF


DOUBLE WON 12/1

Wednesday Double...

Exeter 14:20 - Sunnyhillboy
2m 3f, Class 4 Handicap Hurdle - Good to Soft, Soft in Places

The money has come this morning for the Jonjo O'Neill trained Sunnyhillboy whose form at Doncaster the time before last makes him the one to beat this afternoon. AP McCoy travels south rather than ride one of the trainers other 4 runners at Towcester and that combination is good enough for me. (Early Price 4/1)
1ST 2/1

Exter 16:50 - Copper Bleu
2m 1f, Class 4 Novices' Hurdle - Good to Soft, Soft in Places

A two horse race according to the betting, Quaddick Lake has been subject to plenty of early morning support however The Analyst is ignoring that money and taking on David Johnson's charge who looks never to have recovered from a first time out fall at Cheltenham this time last year. No doubt endless amounts of schooling would have been completed at home, but the same can be said for Copper Bleu, whom without the scar's (making his debut over hurdles today) can improve his trainers excellent record in this race. (Philip Hobbs has won this race 3 times in the last 10 years) Early Price 6/4

Monday E/W Double...

Warwick 14:50 - Noble Storm E/W
6f, Class 3 Nursery Handicap - Good to Soft, Soft in Places

A course & distance winner, Noble Storm represents great value in today's class 3 event at Warwick. Clocking a very decent time in softer than ideal conditions, he is taken to score back to back victories and land the first part of what we hope will be a personal double for trainer E S McMahon. (Early Price 9/2)
WON 5/1

Windsor 15:00 - To The Point E/W
5f, Class 4 Nursery Handicap - Good to Soft

Matthew Davies takes off a handy 7lb's as To The Point looks to take advantage of a drop in grade after a decent 2nd in a class 2 over C&D last time out. A repeat of that performance should be easily good enough to take this modest looking event with the obvious danger being Cheviot, from the on fire Michael Jarvis yard. (Early Price 11/2)
UP

Friday Double...

Newmarket 13:30 - Snoqualmie Girl
7f, Class 1 fillies' Group 3 - Good to Firm

Snoqualmie Girl's form looks "Rock Solid" and she is an outstanding bet to land today's fillies' Group 3 event at HQ. Running the famous Persian Punch colours for owner Mrs J C Smith, David Elsworth looks to have another superstar on his hands. Only beaten 2l's by the outstanding filly of 2008, Rainbow View today's drop back to a stiff 7f on decent ground looks ideal. Get on early and snap up the 7/2 available. (Early Price 7/2)

Hexham 14:50 - That's Rhythm
3m 1f, Class 3 Novices' Chase - Good, Good to Soft in Places

McCoy and Todhunter team up with the Sir Robert Ogden owned That's Rhythm in an attempt to lower the colours of Mick Fitzgeralds NAP of the day, According to Pete. The tough 8 year old is taken to out battle Phill Kinsella's mount who hasn't won since Oct 2006! Although rated higher than our selection over the smaller obstacles According to Pete struggles to get his head in front and with That's Rhythm having the experience of a decent 2nd over fences at Haydock last time, he is the one to land today's double. (Early Price 9/4)

Thursday Double...

Apologies for no write-ups today. Wingwalker has a decent turn of foot and should be good enough to win, while Pediment has been running reasonably well over the distance and should go well on this ground while others may not.

Birthday Double...

Sailsbury 15:00 - Rileyskeepingthefaith
6f, Class 4 Novice Stakes - Good, Good to Firm in Places

The 15:00 at Sailsbury represents a big drop in class for Rileyskeepingthefaith and Instalment in what appears to be a straight match in this 3 runner race. Countess Zara makes up the 3, and will also only be making up the no.'s when push comes to shove. Rileyskeepingthefaith is the confident selection as Mick Channon's colt looks ideally suited by today's conditions and can exploit the fact that Instalment looks far from straight forward as he maybe be seen in better light over softer ground and a longer trip. With BET365 offering the straight forecast why not enhance your odds by backing 2 to beat 1(Won)! (Early Price 10/11f)
WON 10/11F

Nottingham 17:00 - Lethal Glaze
1m 2f, Class 5 Handicap - Good to Soft

Hannon and Moore team up with Lethal Glaze and look the stand out bet, in a heat where not many can be given a chance. A winner at Goodwood last time, this striking grey colt looks to be suited by today's step up in trip that should bring about even further improvement. Dubai Crest, maybe best of the rest under the inform Jim Crowley who is having his best flat season ever in 2008. (Early Price 5/2)
