February 2011 - Daily Placepots

Each day a member of Timeform's editorial team give their recommendations for a placepot perm at a UK meeting. To give the best chance of producing a winning perm, selections go up around two hours before the off so we can act on the latest ground and non-runner information. Remember, you can place all your tote bets on Betfair

Wolverhampton Placepot: Monday February 28

I've not backed a winner for some time, nor have I got past the first leg in one of these placepots in a couple of attempts, but if turgid Birmingham can beat Arsenal then it...

Taunton Placepot: Tuesday February 22

It's not much of a card at Wetherby with various trainers opting to stay away, so we'll instead tackle the meeting at Taunton this afternoon....

Wolverhampton Placepot: Monday February 21

I don't know much about British racing these days, especially any that takes place on the all-weather, but I've somehow been given the task of putting together today's placepot from Wolverhampton and I'm hoping for...

Ascot Placepot: Saturday February 19

Ascot's Betfair-sponsored card looks a good place to have a stab at the placepot today as it could prove trickier to solve than at first glance, with the usual puzzle of competitive handicaps supplemented by...

Exeter Placepot: Sunday February 13

There is no Mrs Melrose, the gene pool in Halifax best described as barren, so I'll be free to spend any winnings I manage with this Placepot perm on attempting to woo Scottish girls (a...

Lingfield Placepot: Saturday February 12

Another excellent, yet difficult eight-race card at Lingfield. Thankfully, we only need to survive six to scoop what should be a hefty placepot prize....

Dominic Finn

Kempton Placepot: Friday February 11

The cards at both Kempton and Musselburgh make for tricky placepots today, but that means big returns (potentially). And there was never any chance of me looking through either all-weather meeting, so off to London...

Chepstow Placepot: Friday February 4

Bangor's too small, and Catterick probably too wet given the weather in Yorkshire during the last couple of days, but we would have chosen Chepstow, anyway. Honest......

Newcastle Placepot: Wednesday February 2

Newcastle natives may be feeling a bit down in the dumps following the, ahem, 'inflation-busting' sale of Andy Carroll to Liverpool for £35m, but hopefully yours truly can provide a winning Placepot perm to perk...
