Nick's selection is at Chepstow today but who will be carrying his hard-earned in the 2.55?
* * *
At Newmarket today Thunderous Mood should know his job on debut in the 2.55.
I saw this son of Storm Cat breeze at the sales at Fasig-Tipton at Calder a few months ago in Florida and he was visually impressive and professional in his work. His conditioner has allowed enough time for him to acclimatise to his new surroundings and he should be ready today.
At present he is trading at [3.25] on the exchange.
Today's Selections:
Newmarket, 2.55, Thunderous Mood, Win

Saturday 24th May
At Haydock today Dandy Man should go very close in the 3.35.
The selection has some very smart form in the book including a solid fifth place in last year's July Cup at HQ. The stable has had some poor results to start the season but they won the Lockinge at Newbury in fine style last week. At present the selection is trading at [4.3] on the exchange.
Today's Selection:
Haydock, 3.35, Dandy Man, Win

Friday 23rd May
At Newcastle today in the first race at 2.10 Folsomprisonblues is a very interesting runner for this stable.
I do not think this race will take a lot of winning and this well-bred individual could go very well in this race at the first time of asking. At present the selection is trading at [5.3] but could be the subject of major support so I would advise that the market be carefully monitored.
Today's selection:
Newcsatle, 2.10, Folsomprisonblues, Win

Thursday 22nd May
In the first race at Haydock Park at 2.25 Fivefootnumberone should go close. This colt, by Acclamation, ran very well on debut at Chester when a creditable third to runaway winner Rebecca De Winter earlier this month.
In my view, he did not really enjoy the tight configuration of the track so will be much better suited by the flat course today. At present, the selection is trading at [2.58] on the exchange.
Today's Selections:
Haydock Park, 2.25, Fivefootnumberone, Win

Wednesday 21st May
A maiden selection from our man today, let's hope she's a fair price come the off.
At Sandown tonight in the opening race (6pm) Street Of Hope is an interesting runner in this maiden.This horse is a former 80/20 selection but was withdrawn at Bath the other day and can go well in this event. As previously reported she ran a race full of promise on debut at Lingfield and is sure to improve for the run. At present she is trading at [4.6] on the exchange.
Today's Selections:
Sandown, 6pm, Street Of Hope, Win

Tuesday 20th May
To Musselburgh where Nick's aiming to make us Proud with his Tuesday selection
Proud Linus should prove hard to beat in the 3.10 at Musselburgh today.
He boasts some very smart form in the book, notably when running behind Captain Gerrard at York last year. Today he faces a group of mainly exposed rivals and should have no excuse providing he is ready. At present he is trading at [1.92] on the exchange which appears to be very fair and I have backed him at this price.
Today's Selection:
Musselburgh, 3.10, Proud Linus, Win

Monday 19th May
We don't know if Nick Shiambouros is a fan or not, but today's selection has a Stevie Wonder theme nevertheless.
In the final race of the day at Wolverhampton (9.20) Sir Duke is an interesting runner in this 12 furlong handicap.
The selection was impressive when winning at HQ last Friday and makes a quick reappearance on the Poly. This gelded son of the great Danehill is equally effective on a synthetic surface which he encounters tonight. At present Sir Duke is trading at [3.9] on the exchange.
Today's Selection:
Wolverhampton, 9.20, Sir Duke, Win

Hi Nick,
I think you are trying too hard to give people winners from your daily bet and consequently are recommending short priced favourites. Longer priced horses are perfectly OK for me because my initial outlay is much smaller. In theory I should welcome the shorter price horses because I am using your selections for rolling trebles. However, in the long run I know I will profit more from your longer priced selections. Hope this helps.
