The Novice Tipster

Rocky Creek has real potential Firstly i admit to having a hard time deciding which horses to be my top tips today. There are so many i really like and, so take a good look at the Daily Tips. I am very confident for a good day. 1:45 Haydock - Zamdy Man 2/1 2:05 Ascot - Rocky Creek 4/5 (nap) -£18 2:40 Ascot - The Rainbow Hunter 7/1 e/w 2:50 Lingfield - Dark Lane 11/2 e/w 2:55 Haydock - Giles Cross 15/2 e/w 3:10 Gowran Park - Zaidpour 8/11 3:15 Ascot - The Bear Trap 7/2 3:35 Wincanton - Zarkander 2/5- £14 4:15 Wincanton - South Stack 11/1 e/w - £18.75 5:40 Meydan - Layli Dubai 11/2 e/w £100 stake - £50.75 return = - £49.25 loss A couple of these are short and although i put them as singles, i would suggest doubles or treble Zarkander 2/5, Rocky Creek 4/5, Zaidpour 8/11 Todays Nap 2:05 Ascot - Rocky Creek 4/5 I know this horse is a bit short, but Zarkander was my other main choice and he is 2/5. Both of these i cannot see being beaten. Zaraknder is my Champio

Lord Tomnoddy carries high hopes for his 'new' owner 1:50 Sandown - Mountainous 3/1 2:15 Fakenham - Everdon Brook 5/4 2:25 Sandown - Utopie Des Bordes 10/11 - £19.09 3:00 Sandown - Lord Tomnoddy 9/2 5:50 Dundalk - Eusepio 6/4 8:00 Wolverhampton - Broxbourne 10/11 - £19.09 £60 stakes - £38.18 returns = -£21.82 loss Todays Nap 8:00 Wolverhampton - Broxbourne 10/11 It's probably well documented that i like this filly and the reasons behind it, and that's why i am confident about putting her as my nap again, because she is a horse i follow. She has gone up 6lbs since her last win, but she is still well in, in the weights in this race, and my only real concern is, i have always said she needs 1m 5f at least, and she is dropping to 1m4f and 50 yards, that 50 yards will be important today,  looking at the competition she has little to worry about and she is still improving. The lightly raced Asterism would be her main danger i should think. But today the rac

The step up to 1m 4f a few weeks ago here at Kempton, showed connections this is exactly what she needed. She won going away from the others and even with a 6lb penalty i think she will be hard to catch, the only negative is that she is in stall 12 of 14, and that will be tough, but there is still scope fo

Goldtrek has a great chance to get her nose in front Due to me being out all morning tomorrow, i am just posting my shortlist today. There are several Sp's and i do not have a clue what prices they are. I have taken out Peddlers Cross, because he is 1/6 on and connections a pretty confident. I hope you find some nice winners. 1:50 Southwell - Rose Garnet 7/2 2:10 Musselburgh - God's Own 13/8 - £26.25 2:40 Musselburgh - Local Present 8/1 e/w 3:10 Musselburgh - Goldtrek 4/1 3:20 Southwell - La Sylphe 13/8 (nap) 3:30 Lingfield - Cousin Khee1/1 - £20 3:40 Musselburgh - Flogarose 16/1 e/w 4:30 Lingfield - Safwaan 7/2 4:40 Musselburgh - Spitz 6/4 7:30 Kempton - Reasons Unknown 9/2 - £55 8:30 Kempton - Hidden Link 3/1 £110 stake - £101.25 = -£8.75 Todays Nap 3:20 Southwell - La Sylphe sp La Sylphe has every chance to take this claimer in a race that has only attracted 4 runners.

Milano Magic a Daily Tip 3:15 Southwell - Red Agressor 25/1 e/w 3:50 Southwell - Tartan Jura 4/6 (nap) 4:50 Southwell - Goldmadchen 11/8 - £23.75 £30 stake - £23.75 return = -£6.25 Todays Nap 3:50 Southwell - Tartan Jura 4/6 In my opinion easily the best horse in the race, most the others have been hurdling recently but have not shown anything. Almaden could pose a danger after not being very successful over hurdles, however has won on the flat over 1m 3f back in France. But i cannot really make much a case for the others. Normally too short for me, but there is not much else that stands out today. Just a couple of mentions about the other choices today. Goldmadchen ran well in defeat last time out over course and distance in a higher grade, and should go well again, and then Red Agressor, some people will notice on the Daily Tips i tipped Kickingthelilly, who i do have a soft spot for and should go very well today, but i am very interested in Red Agressor,  who won a

The Novice Tipster does not normally do the rugby, but today we did. Here is a view of one of the guys and maybe this might become a more regular feature - let us know what you think Despite the weather i can see a potentially high scoring game between Ireland and England. Ireland conceded 13 pens last week England 6. the fact that Ireland were only pushed for 1 half and England weren't really tested at all combined with the conditions suggests that the penalty count today could easily reach 15-20 per team( wasps played in better conditions last night and still conceded 8 binding penalties at the scrum). Now assuming that 10 of these pens per team are kick - able and Sexton and Farrell kick at only 70%(below their averages) that's 42 points right there.its also been more than 30 years since a game without a try being scored and i really cant see that changing today. O'Driscoll a nd Zebo looked dangerous for Ireland last week as Twelvetrees and Brown did

Cracking win last time out on heavy ground beating Lord Singer by 6 lengths, did go up 8lbs for that win but Michael Nolan takes 5lbs off. He is up against a horse i like a  lot Rouge Et Blanc, but i think the heavy ground has found him out a little, if it was soft then i would not even look at Simply Wings. I think he has a great chance to be place and possibly win
