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

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>

Daily Dial #23 – Sunday 18th January – Three selections across Windsor, Fakenham and Thurles

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>

Daily Dial #21 – Wednesday 14th January – One selection from Kempton…

The racing is leaving little to get too excited about at the minute, especially on the betting front. With the selections that have been chanced often not having races unfold remotely how I’ve expected them too, I took stock and have let a few days run. This is a funny time of year for it, ... <a title="Daily Dial #21 – Wednesday 14th January – One selection from Kempton…" class="read-more" href="https://formdial.com/daily-dial-21-wednesday-14th-january-one-selection-from-kempton/" aria-label="Read more about Daily Dial #21 – Wednesday 14th January – One selection from Kempton…">Read more</a>

Daily Dial #20 – Saturday 10th January – Three selections from Kempton and Newcastle

Powder kept dry for a few days. With the weather causing disruptions and the standard of racing poor, it wasn’t paying off, so no harm in easing off until more viable opportunities come along. Today there’s some decent racing to be seen, and what looks like some nice betting opportunities, so fingers firmly. Double Powerful ... <a title="Daily Dial #20 – Saturday 10th January – Three selections from Kempton and Newcastle" class="read-more" href="https://formdial.com/saturday-10th-january-four-selections-from-lingfield-kempton-and-newcastle/" aria-label="Read more about Daily Dial #20 – Saturday 10th January – Three selections from Kempton and Newcastle">Read more</a>

Wednesday 7th January – A 28/1 with a big shout at Kempton

The racing during this funny new year period is proving tough to call, so I’ve been treading somewhat lightly. The Lingfield card looked horrible from a betting perspective, so I steered well clear. Kempton looked far more attractive and has a cracking race to watch at 18:30. I believe this is the race that is ... <a title="Wednesday 7th January – A 28/1 with a big shout at Kempton" class="read-more" href="https://formdial.com/wednesday-7th-january-a-28-1-with-a-big-shout-at-kempton/" aria-label="Read more about Wednesday 7th January – A 28/1 with a big shout at Kempton">Read more</a>

Sunday 4th January – An Eyecatching Outsider at Southwell

Another blank drawn from the two yesterday, continuing a bit of a timid time of it. Titian Blue looked likely to be going mighty close when he came bursting through to lead at a crucial stage, but he emptied very quickly and was duly swallowed. That looked a fitness thing, looking very likely to be ... <a title="Sunday 4th January – An Eyecatching Outsider at Southwell" class="read-more" href="https://formdial.com/sunday-4th-january-an-eyecatching-outsider-at-southwell/" aria-label="Read more about Sunday 4th January – An Eyecatching Outsider at Southwell">Read more</a>

Saturday 3rd January – Two bets across Lingfield and Southwell

Yesterday just about summed up how betting the races can be at this time of year. It can be a really tricky period, where there are no major targets in sight, many are either coming off or have just come off of a lay off, and there is no real knowing who is a true ... <a title="Saturday 3rd January – Two bets across Lingfield and Southwell" class="read-more" href="https://formdial.com/saturday-3rd-january-southwell/" aria-label="Read more about Saturday 3rd January – Two bets across Lingfield and Southwell">Read more</a>
