Sir Henry Cecil’s unbeaten Frankel is believed to be working well after an earlier injury scare to his off-fore leg in a routine gallop last Month.

Officials at Newbury have reported a big increase in advance bookings since Frankel was booked defend his unbeaten record of 9 straight wins.

The opposition in the race are no walk over which has only increased interest in Saturday’s race. Attendance at the Berkshire course is expected to increase yet further, if we get a good day weather wise.

The simplest way to guarantee to win money is to have a greater that 50% winning strike rate, i.e. (you win half the time) and have an average odds of greater than evens.

This may seem a very simple and obvious statement for the experienced horse racing punter, but we so often over complicate things. I suppose it’s in our nature to think ‘it can’t be that easy to win money’. So let’s look at complicated systems they have to be better, because they are more difficult.

For me personally I just like to win money and then enjoy spending it.

The BetPlan system has an average win strike rate of over 50% and average odds of more than evens.

If you grab the early prices (especially if the bookmaker offers bets odds guaranteed) then you will just win more money.

This has been no real surprise because the start of the year was particularly slow. There were a number of reasons for this, change in racing rules (including the new whip regulations) and also if you run a system for long enough you will find longer term cycles in results. In short every few years you will get the odd barren period, and remember the system has now been running for well over 3 years.

The great news is that the system is self-analysing so it corrects itself every time a different trend is experienced. In short it just gets better at future prediction of results. A fact that has been well and truly proved this Month.

April 2012 results

Total Number of bets: 51

Total Winners: 32

Winning strike rate: 62.75%

Level stake profit to SP: 19.54 points

Level stake profit to BFSP: 21.55 points (including 5% commission)

Level stake profit to Early BOG prices: 23.35 points

(Level stake profit means if you put £10 on every bet you would have returned a £233.50 profit.)

Historically it would be safe to assume results to continue on a similar path for at least, the rest of the year.

The seven year old has taken to fences extremely well winning two decent Novice Chase’s in December before finishing second when running on in the National Hunt Chase over 4 miles at last month’s Cheltenham Festival. He has been raised 6lb for that effort and will run off a mark of 143 at Ayr which should not trouble him unduly and meaning that he will run carrying 10-13 on his back. If there is anything against him it is the fact that he has been installed the 6/1 favourite and favourites do not have a good record with none obliging in the last ten renewals .

Top weight of 11-12 will be carried by the David Pipe trained, Junior, although there is still some uncertainty whether or not the one time Aintree Grand National favourite will take his place in the field. He fell at the second fence last week at Aintree and carrying a big weight after such an experience just seven days later may prove a little too much for the nine year old but that said, if he does run, he will be fresh.

Race sponsor’s, Coral Bookmakers, have reported plenty of money about the 2010 winner, Merigo, who was a very game runner up to Beshabar last year. Clearly at home in the race, he will carry just 10-2 on his back and although now 11 years old, he should still have enough about him to make the frame for a third year running and makes plenty of each way appeal around the 8/1 mark.

Punters might fancy their chances with the Henry Daly trained, Quentin Collonges, who has been laid out specifically with this race in mind. A five length winner of a Beginners Chase over 3 miles at Doncaster in February, the eight year old followed that up with a second place in a Novices Chase a month later at Kempton. He has a definite preference for running left handed hence the trip from Shropshire for this. He has been cut in the betting by the sponsors from 20/1 into 16/1 and is certainly worth keeping an eye on.

Eider Chas hero, Portrait King, from the Maurice Phelan yard in Ireland will come to Ayr with genuine chances too. He proved his staying credentials by winning the Eider at Newcastle over 4m1f in February showing great tenacity by getting the better of Posh Bird in an enthralling finish to the line. Three weeks before that, he won the Punchestown Grand National Trial over 3m6f. He too has been backed and is likely to go off vying for favouritism with odds currently around the 7/1 mark.

West End Rocker one of those who was well backed to win last week’s Aintree Grand National will take his chances on Saturday despite falling at the second fence last week. The ten year old had won the Becher Chase at Aintree over 3m2f in December by over 20 lengths which seemed to see him back to his best form and a repeat of that form on Saturday should put him very much in the mix.

Another market mover is the Scottish trained, Lie Forrit, who was thought good enough at one time to run in the 2010 World Hurdle. Needless to say, he was well beaten on that occasion by Big Bucks and a subsequent injury kept him off course until earlier this season where he took to campaigning over fences. He won at the first time of asking and followed that up with two second places in further Novice Chases, the latest of which was over 3m1f on this course. He has been backed into 12/1 from 16′s and will be a popular choice on course.

Others who are entitled to be there or thereabouts are Fruity O’Rooney from the Gary Moore stable who was a terrific second place at the Cheltenham Festival last month in the Handicap Chase over 3m1f. Walkon, the second of two runners from the Alan King stable, is tried in Handicap Company for the first time over fences. He was last seen finishing fifth of nine in the Grade 1 RSA Chase at Cheltenham last month and would warrant respect should he manage the step up to the four mile trip.

There is a very open feel to the Scottish Grand National this year with any number boasting genuine chances. This making it difficult to find the winner of course but having been laid out to win, it is worth taking the chance on Quentin Collonges at 16/1; he is on a good mark and comes to the race in top form and is half brother to the Aintree winner, Neptune Collognes.

Obviously O’Brien, with a number of Classic expectations not least with Camelot in the 2000 Guineas and the Epsom Derby, is being backed avidly to better Hannon this time around. Hannon however set a new benchmark for a season in 2011 with 218 winners in a Calendar year. These winners amassed a total of £3,726,397 in total winnings, comfortably clear of O’Brien haul of £2, 894,457. That said, the Ballydoyle Maestro only raced 81 runners last season in the UK, securing 16 wins, with a strike rate of 20%, all in listed company. All in all, it should be a classic Quality v Quantity duel once again between arguably the two best trainers on either side of the Irish Sea.

Bookmakers have reported support for Sir Michael Stoute, whose disappointing year in 2011 came as a surprise to everyone. Only 53 winners, during the calendar year, with a strike rate of 14% was his worst return since becoming a trainer and it only earned him only half the £3m+ he earned in both 2010 and 2009. He is currently a 5/1 shot but does not appear to have the firepower en mass at his Freemason Lodge Stables to hurt the top two in the market.

One trainer being tipped to shine this year is Sir Henry Cecil, now with a stable full to brimming, thanks to some degree of course to the “pulling power” of his stable star, unbeaten, Frankel. Frankel obviously has been kept in training and undoubtedly will be winning big races, with the first of those likely to be in the Lockinge Stakes at Newbury. He does not quite have a Frankel this year amongst his three year olds and the stable are struggling to actually find a quality representative for any of the opening four classics. However, he does have quantity on his side which gives him and his stable a squeak in the championship at least for which he can be backed at 12/1.

Mahmood Al Zarooni who has made a great name for himself and for his Godolphin bosses is quoted at 9/1 to finish top trainer in 2011 and although that would seem unlikely this term, it certainly wouldn’t be in the future. A total of 81 winners last season from 409 entries gave him a very encouraging 20% strike rate which earned his stable just under £2m and placed him in fifth place in the table and there will surely be more improvement on that in 2012 without perhaps winning.

John Gosden, finished fourth last season with just over £2.5m in prize money, much of which was earned via saddling the winners of the final classic of the season, the St Leger at Doncaster and before that the King George & Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot. The stable has a crop of very decent three year olds coming out this year several of which are considered good enough for Classic entries and plenty with Pattern Company pretensions.

In terms of winning the championship numerically, then traditionally Hannon usually has to fight off Mark Johnston, who saddled 179 winners last season but the racing odds don’t favour his chances this time around and you can get 50/1. The two however might have another to contend with in Richard Fahey, who has been making huge strides in recent years and scored 151 times in 2011.  In fact with the addition of Kevin Ryan on 133 winners, the four were the only trainers to get beyond the hundred winner mark last year.

As it stands, Flat Racing boasts a numbers of talented trainers, some seasoned at the game and other upcoming, however, the 2012 race for the Trainers title looks set to be a two runner race and in the form of Camelot, O’Brien could just have what it takes to beat Hannon and win the honour for the first time since 2008 and at 7/4, the Irish Stable looks a solid long term antepost investment

The Pipe entry for Saturday’s renewal is Master Of Arts who is more than worthy of close scrutiny, particularly as the Pipe stable has won the Imperial Cup five times in the last ten years and father Martin Pipe also achieved the coveted double in 1998 with Blowing Wind. Paddy Power in fact has Mast of Arts installed as the 4/1 second favourite and his current odds to win the County Handicap Hurdle at the Festival stand at 10/1.

Master Of Arts in fact has not raced over hurdles since finishing down the field in the 2009 Triumph Hurdle but before that, he had been campaigned very successfully in handicaps on the flat by Sir Mark Prescott. In recent years, he has found little success on the flat but his return to hurdles has sparked a major gamble with Bookmakers across the board all slashing his original price for both the Imperial Cup and County Hurdle to their current level but that is all based on rumours and reports from his work at home but given the yard’s record in this race he cannot be dismissed.

The 7/2 favourite in the latest Imperial Cup odds is the Paul Nicholls trained Ted Spread, an impressive winner over 2m1f at Taunton at the end of January and before that, he finished second behind current Triumph Hurdle favourite, Grumeti. The five year old enjoyed some success on the flat, winning the prestigious Grade 3 Chester Vase and even ran in the 2010 Epsom Derby!

This will be Ted Spread’s fourth attempt over the sticks and at his current rate of progress he should improve significantly again and would be in with a big chance. He holds two entries for the Festival the County Hurdle and the Martin Pipe Conditional Jockey’s Handicap Hurdle.

Despite having top weight, Sire De Grugy from the Gary Moore stable has been supported in the antepost market and is a short as 8/1 with Bet365. A solid fourth in the Grade 3 Betfair Hurdle behind Zarkandar last month the six year old followed that up with an excellent victory in the Bathwick Tyres Handicap Hurdle over 2m1f at Taunton, but that win earned him a 6lb penalty which might see just him struggle to win on Saturday but he is more than capable off top weight of getting himself a place.

Ile De Re from the Ian Williams stable has won his last two starts including a course and distance win last month. The 6 year old also a bit of class about him too, having raced in Grade 3 and Listed company in France before he came up trumps by winning the prestigious Shergar Cup at Ascot last year. He has taken to hurdles extremely well it seems and could easily find himself in the mix. He can be backed at 12/1 with the sponsors.

As it stands though, it looks as though this race is set to be a battle between Pipe and Nicholls with the preference for Ted Spread to win both Satuday’s Imperial Cup and again at Cheltenham. In this interview for Paddy Power, Ruby Walsh was asked for his best bet in the handicaps at Cheltenham and his answer was Ted Spread, a more than good enough clue, surely?

The race itself of course does not alter, it is a Grade 3 Handicap, run over 3 miles at Kempton Park and is often used by trainers as a final preparation race for either the Cheltenham Festival or the Grand National.

This week’s renewal has attracted a very decent looking field of runners, where the Phillip Hobbs trained Planet Of Sound has been made 7/2 favourite in the racing odds and carries top weight of 11-12.

This will be the ten year old’s first start since finishing second 3½ lengths behind Carruthers in the Hennessy Gold Cup back in November where Planet of Sound was giving 12lbs away to the winner but still ran an eye catching race, after which, the decision was taken that he would be the lead entry from the Hobbs stable for this year’s Grand National. This race therefore is clearly his warm up run for Aintree and it is a race in which Hobbs has trained three winners in recent years, including Quinz 12 months ago. However, despite Planet Of Sound being made the favourite to win, connections will be more than a happy with a clear round and good performance before heading to Aintree in April.

Favourites actually have a poor record in the race, with only one jolly landing the spoils in the last 10 years, however, top weights fair better with three obliging since 2004.

Contesting favouritism with Planet of Sound is the 2009 winner of the race, Nacarat, trained by Tom George. The grey was last seen on Boxing Day when fifth behind Kauto Star in the King George Vl Chase but despite now being 11 years old, he will have nothing of that calibre to beat here and is more than capable of running a big race. The Tom George yard is in great form having saddled four winners in the last ten days as well as a host of places and it would be no surprise to see Nacarat continue that good run.

The lightly raced Michel Le Bon from the Paul Nicholls stable makes his first appearance since finishing down the field in the Hennessy Gold Cup. That run was his first for two years and he was disappointing, however, on the plus side, he was highly regarded at Ditcheat before his long absence and the word from the yard is that he has made good progress since November. He is around a 5/1 chance to win the Racing Plus Chase and whilst it wouldn’t be a shock to see Nicholls and Walsh combine to win this, it is probably left best watched following the concerns of a cough at the yard this week on the back of just one winner in the month of February.

Hector’s Choice from the Richard Lee stable is another entry worthy of respect and rates an 8/1 chance. Never out of the top three on his four starts this season, including a win at Aintree in October, this eight year old seems to be heading in the right direction and holds an entry in the Grand National. He may not have enough in his locker to win this time but age is definitely on his side and is one for the future.

Nicky Henderson will be hoping that Long Run will cease this opportunity to bounce back two defeats from two runs so far this season, both at the hands of Kauto Star. The first of those came in the Grade One Betfair Chase at Haydock in November and the second in the King George Vl Chase at Kempton on Boxing Day.

Despite those defeats, the seven year old has been made the 1/2 favourite to win this race, although there does look to be a number of rivals in the field capable of laying down a challenge.

Three of those capable of causing an upset are entries from the Paul Nicholls stable who has made this race a preserve of Ditcheat in recent years with four wins in the last five renewals, including those by Kauto Star in 2007 and Denman a year later. This year, Nichols is represented by What A Friend, Tidal Bay and Aiteen Thirtythree, but it is the Sir Alex Ferguson co-owned, What A Friend, who represents the best chance of the Nicholls yards extending its fine form in the race as the 5/1 second favourite.

Second behind Noland in this race 12 months ago, What A Friend had been the pick of many racing tipsters to be the likely successor at Ditcheat to Kauto Star and Denman, particularly after his Grade One victories in the Lexus Chase at Leopardstown and the Totesport Bowl at Aintree. However, he has never quite lived up to that billing in more recent runs, finishing fourth in last season’s Gold Cup behind Long Run and being pulled up in the Aintree Grand National three weeks later. He has been out just the once so far this season, finishing third of eight in a 3m1f Hurdle at Wetherby in October and it would be no surprise to see him make a return to form of old now racing fresh again.

Tidal Bay ran with some credit a couple of weeks ago in the Grade 2 Argento Chase at Cheltenham, making very late headway as he so often does, to finish second behind Midnight Chase. Never a reliable horse to back, Tidal Bay could have a big win in his locker but when that will be is anyone’s guess. At 12/1 for Saturday’s race he may be worth an each way shout but is not one to pin your hopes on.

The 12/1 rated Medermit from the Alan King yard is another that should be respected but he will be tackling three miles for the first time which would put him at a decided disadvantage and is best watched.

Nicky Henderson hopes that he will be able to give Burton Port a decent return to racing after being off course since he was second behind Diamond Harry in the 2010 Hennessy Gold Cup. It would seem far too much to ask him to return with a victory over his stablemate, Long Run but providing he comes out of the race ok, he could well be one to note when the Grand National weights are announced on Valentine’s Day.

Little Josh is another to note in this race as he prepares for a title in the Aintree feature. He ran well for a long time in the Argento Chase before finishing sixth. It was his first run for 12 months and his entry in the Denman Chase, whilst likely to be beyond him, is definitely a positive signal from trainer, Nigel Twiston-Davies, that Little Josh is back on the return to fitness and could have a big run in him either at the Cheltenham Festival or Aintree.

However, it is Long Run who all eyes will be on in the race and providing he justifies his odds and returns to the winners enclosure, it should bean interesting few weeks in the build up to the Cheltenham Gold Cup and the eagerly anticipated battle between him and Kauto Star.
