Ade you really should start following our tips if you want winners mate. Frankie

Not a bad day at all mate, can't believe you tipped a 25/1 winner, great work, sat in a pub in gillingham so just my selections today i'm afraid. Goodwood. 2.15 devil to pay 2.50 absa lutte. 3.25 russian spirit 4.00 hafawa 4.35 sophies beau 5.40 pastello Newmarket 1.55 i think best 3.05 awzaan 3.40 blue jack 4.15 swilly ferry 4.50 wigmore hall 5.25 hypnotized I'm sure theres loads at other meets but need more beer. Good luck all. Frankie

guys on the train, did i have any winners today??? Frankie

Right tomorrows selections, hope to keep up the decent form of the last couple of weeks Lingfield looks a really nice meeting and I have a few fancies there: Lingfield: 3.15 The Scorching Wind must look to recoup losses after a massive gamble on it two runs ago went amiss when he was badly hampered, as I have said on a few selections the last couple of days S Williams is not in the best of form, but I am hoping this horse has enough class to overcome that, and hopefully the yard are due a return to form soon. 3.50 Lowdown looks to be Johnstons first string with Dettori on board but I fancy Sir Frank Wappat at a bigger price, he was beaten fav last time, and ran below par, that could be down to the run coming just 8 days after winning, he has had a bit of a longer break now and he looked a good type when winning back to back races over this distance. 4.25 I tipped Marine Boy last time, but he has failed to impress on many occasion after looking brilliant on his debut, I think Gosdens will take all the beating but fancy Storm Ultralight on his debut on English shores, he has been running on the AW in Argentina and has been bought by Godolphin, he could well be anything, at a nice price it is worth a punt. 4.55 A cracking race, I hope Island Sunset comes back to form after relinquishing his unbeaten record last time, but I really fancy Mark Johnstons Eastern Aria, he ran consistently well last year and has good form at Lingfield, he has run here 3 times finishing first once and second twice, so expect a good run for your money if backing him. Nothing much at Musselburgh catches the eye, but I may have a couple of quid on Camerooney in the penultimate race. Doncaster 2.30 Maxwell Hawk has uninspiring form figures but has been the subject of some good money in recent runs including last time out when trailing in last, I am sure connections will want some money back soon and it's just getting the horse at the right time, hopefully that will be today, he is pretty lightly raced and may still show improved form, cheekpieces are put on today as well. 3.35 Carlton Scroop has been a model of consistency for trainer Jay, the negative is that he has never won on turf, the positive is that he has Kieran Fallon in the saddle and if he can help transfer all weather form to turf here he will take all the beating with questions marks about the other protaganists. 5.15 In the Avenuesandalleyways...as someone once sung (Tony Christie I think)..this horse has looked impressive winning its last two on the all weather, he was keeping on well over 7 furlongs so this step up in trip may even see more improvement. On to the jumps and just a couple of selections 5.50 The Randy Bishop has not been too impressive lately, but this race is poor and on some pieces of form he has a great chance here at a nice price, his trainer is in good form too....small win 7.20 Franchoek has been largely frustrating lately, he looked as if he could be quite a machine as a juvenile but hasnt really progressed, this step up in trip may see some improvement and the able steering of AP McCoy should help. 7.50 Horsham Lad in the Hunter Chase... Fontwell looks pretty dire fare, but a couple I will have a speculative pound or two on are. 6.40 Great Ocean Road 7.10 Pete the Feat 8.10 Ede's Good luck all, will try and post something Saturday but will have to use my phone due to being away...take care and good luck Frankie

Yehhaaa 5 seconds today but also two winners Purely by chance wins by 14 lengths at 10/1 and Sherjawy wins at 9/2 Not bad...Will be posting my tips for tomorrow later, day and night as of to Gillingham. Frankie

Brighton Selections 6.30 William Knight had the best days training of his life yesterday and I hope his good form continues in this race with Peintre D'argent, he has looked much improved since joining this stable, winning and running a good race in defeat...I had a little look at Turner's Touch but he has never won on turf and Achromatic is from a stable that can get them ready but he looks disappointing and would have to improve alot to win. Got to go so just selections 7.00 Altimatum 7.30 Choreography 8.00 Sherjawy Nothing stands out tonight as a nailed on bet..so no nap and small stakes Frankie

Great tip on Ocean Countess Chris, in fact we had the forecast between us...another second for me today though, that makes 4 seconds !!! at least i'm having a run for me money I suppose. Frankie

Huntingdon 6.10 Last One Standing has some good form in bumpers, there are question marks over all of these so it is worth chancing a small punt on him on his hurdling bow. 6.40 Laharna has course and distance form here, and is on a nice mark to win again, he has not run with much zest recently but hopefully the change of ground and a return to his place of winning will help. 7.10 If by chance...been running well on the flat and is relatively unexposed over jumps. 8.10 Surely Tony McCoy will win with one if not two of his mounts here tonight, if American World is unsuccessful in the 7.40 I really fancy Knock Em Dead to give him a winner in this anyway, his last run was encouraging so fingers crossed. Frankie

Seems to be a day of seconds today of 5 selections today I have had 3 seconds (8/1, 6/1, 7/2) a fourth and a non runner...hopefully evening will bail me out again. Frankie quick one before its off. Brighton 6.00 - The form of Stuart Williams is patchy at the moment and he is a trainer i normally follow with interest, but I can't back his Billberry here, I have to go for inform Balding and My Learned Friend, he has course and distance form which is important on this track and he hasnt been treated too harshly after a quiet reappearance. Selection : My Learned Friend

Quick look at tomorrow afternoons card. Redcar has some small fields but I have a couple of fancies there. 3.00 Red Scintilla has shown some ability, especially last time when running very wide, but still managed to get in the shake up and wouldnt have to improve too much to take a hand in proceedings. (2nd 8/1) 4.30 Lockantanks has been highly tried since leaving Mick Channons yard two runs ago, back in a claimer he stands to have a very good chance. (4th) Folkestone 2.10 Richard Hannon has started the seaon on fire and he runs First Term here, he has only shown moderate form in maidens (although he found plenty of trouble in running last time) but on his handicap debut you would like to think he would improve, let's hope he doesnt get a detention :-) (Non runner) 5.10 I followed Diamond Twister alot last year, unfortunately he managed to get second on many occasion and has only won once in his career, he is on a low handicap mark though and his last run was full of promise, the trainer is in form too, so lots of positives, and no seconds please. (2nd 7/2) Hereford 4.20 Niceonefrankie...just have to pick it. (2nd 6/1) Good luck Frankie Bloody hell a day of seconds today frustrating

Not a bad nights work Frankie

I have a ticket too if anyone is interested.. PM me or email grahamandre@tiscali.co.uk Frankie

I'll have a look too mate, off to Gillingham Friday night so will try and post something tomorrow Frankie

Yes Ade we're going up by train friday night mate Frankie

Good on ya mate, I just tipped a 10/1 winner with my first horse of the night too!!! I have a spare ticket for Gillingham game if you want it mate? Frankie

Aftertiming Ade you need to post before Frankie

Right evening selections. No write up as it seems to be working without in the evenings, plus I have chops in the oven :-) Kempton 7.35 Island Rhapsody Win and a little each way on Law of Attraction, he may be better watched in handicaps but at the price he is too good to ignore. 8.10 Blue Eyed Eloise 8.40 Zuider Zee (Nap) 9.10 Arrivederla win and a small win on Cheam Forever Kelso 6.20- Quick Will 6.50 - Nine Stories 7.20 - Little Lu 7.55 Ocarina 8.25 Golden View Good luck all Frankie

Nice couple of winners there mate with King of Dixie and South Cape.. Just the one winner for me today, although a nice price, Wise Dennis also ran well but couldnt peg back South Cape. Frankie

Had a quick look at tomorrows cards and here are my thoughts ( evening racing when I get in tomorrow night) Ascot has a great little card, but I think alot of the races are a watching brief with little value in opening three races, the first should go to Zebedee who looked very useful on his debut, but will be no price and the next two although small fields could be won by anything. Ascot 3.55 A really good long distance race, and a trainer with a good eye for such a best to win this race is Mark Johnston, he runs Yes Mr President who was very impressive winning an easier contest at Ffos Las, Akmal if settles could be a danger, Askar Tau may need a run or two to get going but his trainer is in good form. 4.30 The fav will take all the beating here, but I am inclined to have a few quid on Shearman, he was very impressive on his debut, and although this is a massive step up in cclas, you wouldn't imagine connections paying to enter in this race without some sort of chance. 5.05 Another difficult race, but I am going to side with Play it Sam who progressed well last year, and hopefully will continue to do so. 5.40 Wise Dennis is a horse I have followed several times in the past, he looks to have little chance on recent runs, but his handicap mark has fallen pretty substantially and there was some encouragement on his previous to last run, so at a biggish price i am going for Wise Dennis to hopefully return to form. Pontefract 4.40 Tom Tates, Molon Labe looks to have the sort of profile to improve now in handicap company, he has yet to race on ground this firm so that is a bit of an unknown, but in a race of ifs and buts about many runners, he could be worth a bet and may be subject to a plunge. 5.15 I like to follow horses that are in form until the handicapper gets a grip of them, Zaplamation is one such animal, he has been running superbly well, and despite finding trouble in running still won last time out, hopefully he can defy a rise in the weights. Won't be touching Southwell with a barge pole....hopefully this will improve my luck for daytime selections for this week as runner up spot seems to be the name of the game for many selections...evening racing is bailing me out at the moment though. Frankie

HEHE, i'm due a day with no winners Ade...been firing them in lately, see last night? To be honest was an awful day, a couple of seconds, can't believe cecils was beaten tonight as the stupid commentator said it had won, then a string of big priced horses flew in......still like you say mate, all losses recouped on my nap :-) You going to the last game of the season mate, we're of to Gills on Friday, long weekend :-) Frankie

Nice work Kip and Chris... Off raiding on Warcraft in a minute so my selections are 7.05 Sam Sharp 7.35 Lady Willa 8.05 Irish Jugger Sedgefield 7.20 Quattrocento 7.50 Stagecoach Pearl and for my nap in the last Sir Frank :-) Good luck all Frankie

A few for this afternoon. Yarmouth 3.10 Aqua Vitae must be respected now in handicap company, he hasnt shown too much in his three runs so far, yet is on a very low mark of 60 for his handicap debut, I expect to see a much improved run...if he fails to improve on his maiden form then a big price on Reach for the Sky, who was formerly useful for Richard Hannon and will win soon at a big price. 4.40 Another Mark Johnston horse took my eye in this, Epic looks a nice sort, he was a little unlucky on his last run as he was squeezed for room at the furlong marker, hopefully Greg Fairley will get him into the lead early and have the others struggling at the furlong pole. Lingfield 2.30 Gra Andhmar is a steadily improving sort and his fitness may tell, the booking of jockey Jamie Spencer is interesting..dangers to him are Hannons and Gosdens, but as I say the experience of a recent run should be of benefit 4.00 Michael Bell is in superb form and he runs Madame Roulin here, as a juvenile she ran over a mile and a mile 1 furlong and didnt look to stay, this 7furlongs should be much more to her liking. 5.00 I fancy a small win on Learo Dochais, he won here last year but hasnt really come on for that run, the cheekpieces are fitted today and Phillip Robinson is back in the saddle so I hope for a return to form. Good luck all Frankie

Well after a few frustrating seconds, a very nice evenings works... I'll take a look at tomorrows card later. Frankie

Cheers Chris, I seemed to remember him doing that on more than one occasion last year...definitely one to follow. Well done on your selections mate. I'm off to dog agility, and also have to write a conclusion on an essay for my part time degree, so just my selections tonight and no writeup sorry. Windsor 6.10 King's Song 6.40 Get Carter - Win. Each Way - Ziggy Lee 7.10 Sunny Game 7.40 Contradanse - NAP Frankie
