It's Irish Grand National Day at Fairyhouse... The National's are not ones I look at as betting opportunities whatsoever, but they're always ones I enjoy watching. Ben Pauling's The Jukebox Kid is at the top of the betting and looks a live chance, and if Jonjo O'Neill's Monbeg Genius puts it together he too could have a seriously live chance.

Yesterday just about summed up how the game can play you at times. Three selections, all disappointing, then the only other positive mention on the day wins easily at 6/1. A kick in the teeth. The jockey bookings leapt out on that, and I should’ve played the chance, but hindsight is wonderful. Three today, in hope of a positive turn.

A cracking day of racing ahead which will be a great watch all over. It was a grueling one to try and pick apart, which had me going round in circles in numerous races, so on that basis it is one I've decided to treat carefully on. There was one standout bet on the day though, who I right fancy

Not a bad day of racing to have a study of, as there was plenty that peaked my interest, but I've come out of it with just the one bet, again on account of not being able to justify the prices. This is becoming a recurring theme, and I swear it is only getting harder and harder, which is unfortunately

A quieter day in comparison to Monday’s cards and it was very nearly a no bet, but there is a course specialist who I think is vastly overpriced on account of some rotten recent luck in-running, who remains weighted to be competitive. A wide draw to overcome, but with his running style, it may not be a bad thing. At

Not the worst of days racing on the cards for this Monday afternoon and evening. With a flurry of cards, I found it fairly easy to be knocking a fair list of interest together, but I just couldn't make most of them work for a bet for one reason or another. We go with one from a list of five,

The start of the Flat season at Doncaster continues today, with a few less competitive races which makes for greater betting appeal. We go there for one outsider who looks a worthy chance at a great Each-Way price, as well as one chanced in a small field over obstacles on a decent enough Ascot card.

One of the highlights of the racing season arrives today, with the Flat kicking off at Doncaster and The Lincoln Handicap as the feature. It's a cracking card that should offer some good early-season pointers, so I'll be watching closely. One selection stands out in the feature — a cracking Each-Way bet who just needs a bit of luck in-running.

Another quiet day during the lull in racing, perfectly exemplified by the fact my Tracker alerts have been silent for nearly a week now. Ordinarily it's rare to go a day with no alerts, but this is a real quiet patch. One bet found today, and it's one who won for us at a huge price in a race over

The racing continues to stumble on during the quietest time of year, and darts will continue to thrown sparingly. One runs today who has to be of interest as we backed him last month and were able to make a somewhat strong case for him at the weights. A strong jockey booking today means we keep the faith.

One bet today, and we go back in on a familiar one after he delivered for us at 25/1 last time. He’s been nudged up in the weights, but that was a strong race with depth to it, and the form suggests he’s still ahead of his mark and looks worth siding with again.
