Good morning!

Dear All

Gremlins in the system for the past couple of weeks has meant an IT rethink so hopefully it's full steam ahead from here...

Well the Ten To Follow teams have certainly provided variable results. Team 2 has proved disappointing thus far and languishes somewhere in the 16 thousands......understandable really has the selection contains  alternatives aiming for the same races and they can't all win can they?

Team 1 has however has provided 7 winners thus far including this weekend's Group 1 triumvirate of Roderic O'Connor and Misty For Me (in Irish Guineas') and the imperious Goldikova in the Prix D'Ispahan at Longchamp. A climb to 393rd takes me to within earshot of the leaders though Misty For Me will have to win again and Casamento winning the Derby would be an enormous boost to chances.

Massive punting weekend - bank fuelled especially by the 44 taken on Betfair about Paul Midgley's Dazeen who was running all over his opponents and looked booked for victory a long way out provided Culhane could weave through. Haven't prepared any meaningful statistics but Culhane on a last time out Midgley winner especially if deep down in the handicap looks a profitable angle; returned 16/1 in conventional betting; hugely different on Betfair though I accept mine was a straight win wager not an each way punt!
Also backed both Guineas winners at good prices and was successful on another good combination of Murtagh and Lyons (Future Generation at The Curragh).

Today's qualifiers are:

Motivado in the 15:10 at Ripon - Prescott inmate. Word of caution. Sanders stays down south for one ride on another Prescott runner, El Djebena (16:00 Lingfield) - maybe a tip in itself!  Donahoe did ride Motivado the last time it appeared in October.

Hecton Lad in the 17:00 Lingfield. Back on the All-Weather after disappointing under Dettori at Yarmouth recently when, I suspect, expected. Top jockey is George Baker. Confident selection.

That's it for now.

Happy punting!
