It was hugely frustrating to see our selection beaten by the smallest possible margin yesterday, but that's all part of the game and we'll take it in our stride. Throughout a long season enough will go our way so when they go against us we just have to take it on the chin.
Today we have bet in two races. Our first selection takes his chance in a maiden where we believe he is the clear form pick. As with yesterdays selection, this one is up against one or two potential improvers from powerful yards. As with yesterday, we will take form in the bag over potential, especially at the prices.
230 Thirsk - SHEMOLI 2 points each way at 7/2 (generally available inlcuding bog firms)
The selection has already proved that todays distance is not a problem, having run well twice previously at 12 furlongs including when not beaten far by the 3rd place finisher in last night's Glasgow Stakes. Most of todays rivals have yet to prove that this trip is within their range. Our view is that Shemoli is the most likely winner and a really solid each way selection.
The next race we spent time on is the opener on the card at Doncaster, where everything looks right for
600 Doncaster - RED WINE 2 points each way at 6/1 (generally available including bog firms), 13/2 in places
to run a big race. The underfoot conditions will suit the selection far more than many of the other runners in this race and the course and distance present no problems. Whilst there are a number of runners in both races we don't think either look overly competitive, therefore we have struck one final bet
230 Thirsk - SHEMOLI and 600 Doncaster - RED WINE 1 point each way double at 7/2 and 6/1 (both prices generally available inlcuding with bog firms)
Of course we know this game is never easy, recent results have proved that if ever we needed a reminder. As I said yesterday, even during this tough period we have got a hell of a lot right in terms of taking on short priced horses and getting them beat. Let's hope today that our analysis is correct and that so too are the final decisions regarding the horses we've backed.
Good luck if you play today.

Well done lads - nice one.
Thanks Guys,
This week has been more along the lines of what we expect to achieve on a regular basis. No counting chickens though, it's just a step in the right direction. We'll continue to work hard and to stick to our way of doing things.
Good luck
