Barking Dog's Tips History

Pats Dream

Daily Racing

70 WIN

@2.88

Lose

-70

Pat's Dream looked like a pretty capable horse last time out and only needs to run to the same level of form to take this out. Should have too much power for these rivals today.

13:42 1:42 Southwell

Sectarius

Daily Racing

25 EWNB

@3.50

Edward Bethell is a progressive trainer and is getting additions to his yard. He places his horses well and looks capable of winning this.

Ziggys Missile

@3.75

Lose

-80

Ziggys Missile is unbeaten at Southwell, and that counts for a lot at this course. He ran well after 5 months off after being gelded. Back on the winning trail today?

Charlie Mason

Daily Racing

@4.00

Lose

-50

Charlie Mason has been given a chance by the handicapper and has Rossa Ryan to assist from saddle. The horse is below his last winning mark and he should get us a gold medal today.

15:10 3:10 Ludlow

Cracking Destiny

Daily Racing

181 EW

@SP

Lose

-362

Cracking Destiny should be able to run well in this race. Has been pleasing the yard in recent weeks and is fancied at a big price today.

15:00 3:00 Newbury

Densworth

Daily Racing

150 WIN

@2.88

Lose

-150

Densworth for Ben Pauling should take advantage today and get us into the winning enclosure. Looks capable judging the quality of opponents, not good.

13:37 1:37 Lingfield

Officer Of State

Daily Racing

500 WIN

@SP

Lose

-500

Officer Of State has been laid out for this race and can win for Gary Moore. Taken to trounce these opponents.

12:40 12:40 Newbury

Roysse

Daily Racing

500 WIN

@1.53

Lose

-500

Rousseau looks a good bet but at a rather skinny price. Hoping he will be a bigger price at SP. I know you are thinking... this man's a dreamer. Just get on, a winner's a winner.

12:27 12:27 Lingfield

Smart Casual

Smart Casual for J.P. McManus can make the going count in his favor here at Lingfield today. Looks like a promising recruit.

12:05 12:05 Newbury

Liam Swagger

Daily Racing

500 WINNB

@1.44

Lose

-500

Liam Swagger should take this on all known form, but there are no 'certainties' in horse racing, and they have to win to make things pay.

17 December 2024

17:30 5:30 Newcastle

Panama City

Daily Racing

@9.50

Lose

-50

Panama City should run well after his recent winning performance. Should go well again and very hopeful of a huge run here at Newcastle.

12:30 12:30 Catterick

You Some Girl

Daily Racing

250 EWNAP

@4.00

Lose

-500

You Some Girl is running well, being ridden by good amateur William Easterby. The horse should start as the favorite, as I don't think the current favorite ridden by Patrick Mullins can take a big step forward.

-33

Come On John fluffed his lines last time, but the 12 furlongs seemed to stretch him. Back at a more suitable distance should help him to regain the winning thread.

20:00 Bournemouth v West Ham

Bournemouth

100 WIN

@1.73

Lose

-100

Two poor teams by what we expect in the Premier League. Bournemouth are going well at home, and the home advantage could be key to a Bournemouth win.

19:30 7:30 Wolverhampton

Plumette

Daily Racing

75 EWNB

@4.00

Lose

-150

Plumette with David Loughnane makes appeal at Wolverhampton tonight and looks refreshed back with her yard that has done well. The horse looks good against this lowly opposition.

18:30 6:30 Wolverhampton

Forge Valley Lad

Daily Racing

50 EWNAP

@5.00

Lose

-10

Forge Valley Lad is looking ready to strike and has dropped in grade significantly and David Simcock does well here at Wolverhampton. Our nap of the day.....Get In!

16:30 4:30 Wolverhampton

Suanni

Daily Racing

30 EW

@4.33

Suanni has been ticking over and could step forward today in this company. Rossa Ryan riding is a big plus going forward.

13:52 1:52 Southwell

Bond Broker

Daily Racing

@1.91

Win

455

Bond Broker looks every bit as good as he is aiming for. Should eat this lot for breakfast and is a confident selection.

12:30 12:30 Naas

Slade Steel

Daily Racing

100 WIN

@1.80

Lose

-100

Slade Steel hopefully jumps better today. If he does, the opponents had better get their skates on if they want to get near him. Top class hurdler moving to chases.

15 December 2024

19:00 Chelsea v Brentford

Chelsea

500 WIN

@1.40

Win

Chelsea seem to be weathering their early storm and are back in winning mode. They look good to beat Brentford and take three further points.

15:15 3:15 Carlisle

Oh Clare

Daily Racing

250 EWNB

@3.50

Lose

-500

Oh Clare ran well on debut over course and distance, and this expensive Walk In The Park filly is expected to take the progressive step forward to the winner's enclosure.

14:00 Watford v West Brom

Watford

12:12 12:12 Windsor

Excello

Daily Racing

@1.67

Lose

-500

Excello looks like a banker for today as Nicky Henderson himself wants to be the first trainer to win at Windsor. It has been a long time since the last time jumps occurred at Windsor, 19 years to the day. An historic occasion.

14 December 2024

17:15 5:15 Southwell

Laurens Dream

Daily Racing

80 EWNB

@8.50

Lose

-160

Lauren's Dream will be hard to beat on return to the six furlong trip today and stay seven furlongs too. There are four places available from William Hill on this race so we like the look of Lauren's Dream today.

16:15 4:15 Southwell

Masubi

Daily Racing

250 EW

@6.00

Lose

-500

Masubi has his first run at Southwell, and Charlie Appleby sends just one horse to this meeting. Pinhole could be anything and is in a new yard now after leaving Sir Michael Stoute.

15:45 3:45 Southwell

Highfield Sunshine

Daily Racing

40 EW

@13.00

Lose

-80

Highfield Sunshine could give these something to think about, having run at this track when running well for a long way. Could be a huge price and is a really unknown quantity with course experience.

13:50 1:50 Cheltenham

Il Ridoto

Daily Racing

80 WIN

@10.00

Paul Nicholls has a habit of taking the big races on Saturdays, and today could be no exception as this horse may be hoping for a lot more than what we have read so far.

Total Look for Irish trainer Gavin Cromwell appeals strongly in the first at Cheltenham today. Won more convincingly at Navan than the bare result shows.

Majborough

Majborough is a highly rated hurdler moving to chases today in the first at Fairyhouse. Looks unlikely to be beaten, providing he takes to fences, but we are told he has been schooling well.

13 December 2024

22:15 Race 8 Fair Grounds

Acknowledge

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@1.40

Win

Acknowledge looks in a different league to the other opponents in this race at Fair Grounds. The price is looking very skinny, but as they say, a winner is a winner.

20:15 8:15 Southwell

Monsieur Beaulieu

Daily Racing

50 WINNB

@2.75

Lose

-50

Monsieur Beaulieu carries top weight here but still looks an attractive betting prospect. In October 2024, the trainer, Nick Littmoden, relocated to Newmarket after four years in France. This horse, ridden by his daughter, should take all the beating.

17:00 5:00 Dundalk

Eclairage

Daily Racing

88 WIN

@1.73

Win

Eclairage gets a golden opportunity here that looks like a penalty kick in football. I am, however, very cautious when there is a small field, and they often become a two-furlong sprint. Eclairage should be in full control of these all the same.

15:00 3:00 Cheltenham

Delta Work

Daily Racing

25 EW

@12.00

Lose

-50

Delta Work is 11 years of age, and this Cheltenham Cross Country is a big step down in class for this particular horse. With five places available, a small each-way interest is the stake we want. Should progress from recent run in early November where running in three-mile Champion Chase. Don't think that's his level now, but this today could be.

The JP McManus horse could progress enough to win this but should make the frame at the very least. David Pipe doesn't get many inmates from this owner, and the horse runs at Bangor instead of Cheltenham, where he had an entry.

Kevin's Pride should make progression and win at Bangor today. The form of the last race is working out well, and the third horse has won next time out.

Mdawi looks capable of a bold show here at Chelmsford following his initial two runs on the flat to date. He will be suited by the extra two furlongs of this race at Newcastle.

Kotari is a very decent flat horse and rated in the 90s in that sphere. Will be well-schooled for reappearance over obstacles and is being ridden by upcoming apprentice Freddie Mitchell.

Ranks Express has rejoined Andrew Slattery's yard, and it won't take this trainer long to place him to win. I think that could be today. Expecting a very big run.

High Moon can run well in this race and previous form gives it a great chance on form. Trip should suit and should definitely be on the premises at the finish.
