Daily Dial #117 – Naas, Newmarket and Carlisle

Saturday brings three bets across Naas, Newmarket and Carlisle — a Ger Lyons debutant with serious pedigree in a race his yard owns, a must-bet tracker pick finally getting the right trip, and a 50/1 each-way play that has more going for it than the price suggests.

Daily Dial #116 – One from the Tracker at Sandown

One from the tracker at Sandown — Encounter was the danger we flagged when Gymbaazy won at 33/1 last month, and a clear case of interference cost him that day. Ryan Moore in the saddle tells you the yard mean business.

Daily Dial #115 – Three Bets from Fairyhouse, Epsom and Bath

Three bets today from Fairyhouse, Epsom and Bath — a notebook flag, a trainer angle that the market keeps ignoring, and a course specialist who's done it twice here already under the same rider. June ends in the red but the strike rate tells a better story than the bottom line; back at it with three solid reasons to be

Daily Dial #114 – Three Bets at Kempton and Windsor

Three bets today across Kempton and Windsor — pedigree edge in a novice that lacks it, a tracker horse dropping back in trip with enough to like about the race despite the reservations, and a third-time selection who's been knocking on the door long enough that he owes us one in a grade he should be winning.

Daily Dial #113 – One Bet at Ballinrobe

The four UK cards didn’t have anything overly jumping out at me, despite a few running who have been on the radar, but there was one runner for a prolific yard over at Ballinrobe in Ireland who I couldn’t ignore.

Daily Dial #112 – Brighton and Pontefract

Three bets across Brighton and Pontefract today — two each-way chances at prices and a course specialist who has form figures at Pontefract that read like a broken record. After a frustrating weekend, there's reason to think the handicapper has left at least one of these ahead of his mark.

Daily Dial #111 – Ascot and Doncaster

Two bets today — one from a Ascot where a Palmer stat sealed the decision and one from Doncaster where a horse I've been following since a penalty run finally gets a fair crack at the weights in a handicap.

Daily Dial #110 – Two Bets from Day Two of Royal Ascot

Two big prices at Royal Ascot on Day Two — A 40/1 shot in the Royal Hunt Cup and a 28/1 chance in the Fillies' and Mares' Handicap. Both each-way plays with genuine claims. Also a look back at Yesterday with one who should be in every notebook after a badly hampered run in the Coventry.

Daily Dial #109 – One Bet from Day One of Royal Ascot

One bet on the day with a big priced outsider chanced for a yard who hold a fantastic record in the race stretching back to 2009.

Daily Dial #108 – Two Win Bets at Doncaster and Salisbury

Two Win bets today, at Doncaster and Salisbury — one a full sister to a Group 1 winner, the other a notebook filly running off a mark that looks too kind. The case for both inside, plus a few others across the cards.

Daily Dial #107 – Three Bets across York, Hexham and Leicester

After a welcome 33/1 winner yesterday, today's three are a braver kind of bet — two out-of-form types and an unexposed filly, each-way at prices worth the gamble across York, Hexham and Leicester.

Daily Dial #106 – Three Bets from Sandown and Fairyhouse

A bruising day yesterday with two of the others-noted bolting in while the selection flopped — but no chasing it. Three taken today from Sandown and Fairyhouse, including a couple of debutants worth a serious look and one monster price I couldn't leave alone.

Daily Dial #105 – One Bet at Newbury

After a couple of blanks, the cards today are a grind — plenty looked at, but only one stood out worth getting involved with. A Beckett filly who caught the eye travelling on her turf debut last time, and has been nudged up just 3lb for it. One bet at Newbury.

Daily Dial #104 – Two Bets at Salisbury

After another blank yesterday, we dust down and head to Salisbury with two for the card — a well-handicapped 9/2 chance and a 66/1 each-way flier worth a minimum stake. Plus the eyecatchers from a busy Monday, going straight in the book.
