Daily Dial #31 – Tuesday 27th January – Backing the Wolverhampton Raider and a Chepstow Longshot

The one selection at a big price yesterday paid off, with Pickersgill returning place money at 33/1. Going after the Place Boost paid off, with the filly finishing precisely there on her first run for Iain Jardine. Considering the race wasn’t particularly run to suit with them going plenty slow enough, she done particularly well ... <a title="Daily Dial #31 – Tuesday 27th January – Backing the Wolverhampton Raider and a Chepstow Longshot" class="read-more" href="https://formdial.com/daily-dial-31-tuesday-27th-january-backing-the-wolverhampton-raider-and-a-chepstow-longshot/" aria-label="Read more about Daily Dial #31 – Tuesday 27th January – Backing the Wolverhampton Raider and a Chepstow Longshot">Read more</a>

Daily Dial #30 – Monday 26th January – One Rank Outsider at Wolverhampton

Nice to see Rosie Baloo oblige at Sedgefield yesterday at 10/3. A mare we’ve followed for a wee while now and she done it nicely. Interesting too to listen to William Easterby afterwards speak very well of her and her intentions over fences. She’s well above average and one we’ll likely have close tabs on ... <a title="Daily Dial #30 – Monday 26th January – One Rank Outsider at Wolverhampton" class="read-more" href="https://formdial.com/daily-dial-30-monday-26th-january-one-rank-outsider-at-wolverhampton/" aria-label="Read more about Daily Dial #30 – Monday 26th January – One Rank Outsider at Wolverhampton">Read more</a>

Daily Dial #29 – Sunday 25th January – One Bet at Sedgefield

Well Newcastle’s All Weather continues to deceive me, although the artificial in general is proving hard to judge in general on my end. However, Favori De Champdou obliged at Cheltenham, to continue a fruitful run on the jumps scene. That’s five winners from some twenty-odd bets over the last two months. Sticking with the jumps ... <a title="Daily Dial #29 – Sunday 25th January – One Bet at Sedgefield" class="read-more" href="https://formdial.com/daily-dial-29-sunday-25th-january-one-bet-at-sedgefield/" aria-label="Read more about Daily Dial #29 – Sunday 25th January – One Bet at Sedgefield">Read more</a>

Daily Dial #28 – Saturday 24th January – Cheltenham Trials Day and Newcastle’s All Weather

Having let yesterday go with nothing really poking me in the ribs, today couldn’t be further from it. Four selections on the day, with one standout at Cheltenham and three across Newcastle’s All Weather card. Newcastle has always been, and continues to, a bit of a muddling one for me to judge. I find it ... <a title="Daily Dial #28 – Saturday 24th January – Cheltenham Trials Day and Newcastle’s All Weather" class="read-more" href="https://formdial.com/daily-dial-28-saturday-24th-january-cheltenham-trials-day-and-newcastles-all-weather/" aria-label="Read more about Daily Dial #28 – Saturday 24th January – Cheltenham Trials Day and Newcastle’s All Weather">Read more</a>

Daily Dial #27 – Thursday 22nd January – One bet at Southwell

A later post, and a brief one. Not a bad thing, as there isn’t bundles to be excited about. Plenty looked at, but ultimately able to talk myself out of pretty much all of it with relative ease. One or two of them will no doubt have me ruing that, but that’s racing. Klitschko ran ... <a title="Daily Dial #27 – Thursday 22nd January – One bet at Southwell" class="read-more" href="https://formdial.com/daily-dial-27-thursday-22nd-january-one-bet-at-southwell/" aria-label="Read more about Daily Dial #27 – Thursday 22nd January – One bet at Southwell">Read more</a>

Daily Dial #26 – Wednesday 21st January – Catterick and Lingfield

Three cards today but very limited stuff and not a lot to get excited about. Most disappointed with Kempton card, which I will ordinarily spend an age on, but it’s a dismal betting card. Two chances stood out to me enough at the prices, so I’m going with. Yesterday’s four… Four selections yesterday and three ... <a title="Daily Dial #26 – Wednesday 21st January – Catterick and Lingfield" class="read-more" href="https://formdial.com/daily-dial-26-wednesday-21st-january-catterick-and-lingfield/" aria-label="Read more about Daily Dial #26 – Wednesday 21st January – Catterick and Lingfield">Read more</a>

Daily Dial #25 – Tuesday 20th January – Four selections across Newcastle, Leicester and Southwell

A day of low grade racing ahead, but there was a surprising amount which stood out, so I’ve gone somewhat mob-handed and that’s with leaving a couple who more than half tempted me to run. Yesterday’s two returned nothing. The first up, Conquest Of Power at Kempton, had the writing on the wall soon after ... <a title="Daily Dial #25 – Tuesday 20th January – Four selections across Newcastle, Leicester and Southwell" class="read-more" href="https://formdial.com/daily-dial-25-tuesday-20th-january-four-selections-across-newcastle-leicester-and-southwell/" aria-label="Read more about Daily Dial #25 – Tuesday 20th January – Four selections across Newcastle, Leicester and Southwell">Read more</a>

Daily Dial #24 – Monday 19th January – Two fancied bets at outside prices at Kempton and Lingfield

Yesterday’s post was a profitable one, but without a big dose of lady luck, it would’ve been a comedy of errors. We had Wade Out, who appeared to absolutely hate the track at Windsor, running no sort of race, Thats About Right at Thurles, who hated the ground, and Miss Cynthia at Fakenham, who bumped ... <a title="Daily Dial #24 – Monday 19th January – Two fancied bets at outside prices at Kempton and Lingfield" class="read-more" href="https://formdial.com/daily-dial-24-monday-19th-january-lingfield/" aria-label="Read more about Daily Dial #24 – Monday 19th January – Two fancied bets at outside prices at Kempton and Lingfield">Read more</a>

Some really nice races to sift through today, which looked a far better betting opportunity than the mudling cards of yesterday. As such, powder was kept dry in order to play a flurry of more fancied chances today. Our first bets since Wednesday, where we played an ultimately disappointing one in Parramount at Chelmsford.

Daily Dial #22 – Wednesday 15th January – One bet at Chelmsford

The one selection yesterday put paid to his own chances, with No Return taking the firmest of holds in the early stages under Callum Shepherd, who was clinging on for dear life at one stage. That meant when Shepherd asked for an effort in the closing stages, the horse had nothing to give. Most frustrating, ... <a title="Daily Dial #22 – Wednesday 15th January – One bet at Chelmsford" class="read-more" href="https://formdial.com/daily-dial-22-wednesday-15th-january-one-bet-at-chelmsford/" aria-label="Read more about Daily Dial #22 – Wednesday 15th January – One bet at Chelmsford">Read more</a>
