    Beat of luck, I don’t normally bet on Sundays now, found it a very disappointing day.

    I understand just what you are saying Purwell and I wonder why it is?

    There must be a theory why this should happen, could it be all the big guns have fired on Saturday or maybe the stables are having a bit of a day off.

    But a “system” works 7 days a week without any days off ! ! !

    Should you follow “Top Weights” or not tomorrow (Tuesday) throws up an interesting selection but first of all lets deal with the norm.

    Hexham 3.00 BEYONDREDEMPTION +6lb. form includes a win within the previous 3 runs and is out again within 17 days
    Available on the early market at 11/2

    Hexham 4.00 NORTONTHORPELEGEND +8lb (Happy days for mulls74) again having won within 3 races and raced only 19 days earlier.
    Also available at 11/2 on the early market.

    Both selections are towards the front end of the market forecat.

    Although NOT a system selection but interesting nonetheless: –
    Wetherby 7.15 JUST BE LUCKY is a “top weight” but is one such as I have been waiting for in recent days because it is also a penalty carrier +6lb Ex.
    For those who are interested in both Top Weights & Penalty Carriers it is available on via the early market at 9/2.

    YOU MUST BE LUCKY was worth waiting for and tomorrow there is another of a similar ilk.

    TOP WEIGHT clear by 6lb and carrying a 6lb penalty: –

    Lingfield 5.35 ROCKLIFFE available on the early market at 6/1

    Rockliffe did not make anyone rich today.

    Two very interesting picks for tomorrow (Thursday) with each having a 6lb penalty.

    Chelmsford 2.50 AZILIAN +6lb 1LTO 6days earlier and is available at 3/1

    Haydock 3.00 SIR BILLY WRIGHT as said with a 6lb penalty – availble at 14/1

    Once again the selections were close at 2nd and 3rd but another winner would have been nice . . . . . perhaps tomorrow.

    Although not quite a system selection but nevertheless a top weight but with a 6lb penalty: –
    Haydock 5.10 AMAZEMENT available at 8/1

    AMAZEMENT did not amaze on Friday but perhaps prayers will be answered on Sunday.

    Fontwell 2.50 SIR DYLAN +7lb, won LTO 9 days ago and close to favouritism in the forecast market.

    Betfair looks generous at 11/2

    I will have to send up a prayer every Sunday because it looks to have worked with SIR DYLAN winning at an S.p. of 9/2

    Posting without prices for Monday: –

    Cartmel 4.10 THOMAS WILD +6lb and a winner LTO 9days earlier.

    A top weight with a penalty may interest some: –

    2.55 Windsor OUTBACK BLUE Ex.6lb

    Early evening prices obtained: –
    THOMAS WILD 3/1 & OUTBACK BLUE 4/1

    THOMAS WILD proved to be a winner and OUTBACK BLUE was 2nd – not too shabby!

    Without a clear top weight for Tuesday a penalty carrying top weight becomes a suitable substitute.

    Redcar 3.20 LORD REASON Ex. 6lb available at 15/2

    LORD REASON was a non runner.

    JUNE 1: –

    Start of the new month begins with two penalty top weight selections which despite being early days is in profit.

    Chelmsford
    6.40 BOWSON FRED Ex 6lb at 6/1
    7.00 BRIYOUNI Ex 6lb at 13/8

    Good to see you are still posting, I have not been very active recently, but still having the occasional bet.

    I've stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains
    I've walked and I crawled on six crooked highways

    Sadly Purwell life is still proving to be a bit of a struggle but I have not yet thrown in the towel.

    Record keeping is proving to be a problem with both concentration and typing but there are worse things happening in the world so I try not to worry too much.

    I must say I am having one of the better starts to the flat season than I can ever remember with the limited systems in use which is a bit of a rarity not having a column in the RED.

    Early prices with BOG layers fail to disappoint with BOWSON FRED clipped in to win at 5/2.

    3 top weights running under a penalty tomorrow (Thursday): –

    Ripon 2.50 BRIYOUNI 5/4 may not run having failed at Ripon (Wednesday)

    Hamilton 5.00 SAN QUENTIN available at 9/4

    Lingfield 5.45 HINT OF GREY available at odds on early doors but may drift.

    It feels quite a while since finding any selections but being under the weather I hope I have not missed any.

    BRYOUNI was as expected a non runner.

    SAN QUENTIN & HINT OF GREY were both 2nd.

    Without any clear system selections it falls to those top weights carrying a penalty to help winner finding.

    Brighton 4.15 CAPTAIN GERALD 5/1

    Pontefract 8.45 KOPTOON 7/2

    It is quite a while since having a true system selection and so I am hoping for a winner tomorrow (Tuesday)

    Fontwell 4.00 MILGEN BAY at 100/30

    MILGEN BAY did no favours to system followers.

    Tomorrow there are 2 x top weights each with a 6lb penalty.

    Beverley 4.00 YORKINDRED SPIRIT @ 9/2

    Hamilton 8.45 ALESANDRAKOLLONTAI @ 9/2

    YORKINDRED SPIRIT was 2nd at a better price than expected.
    ALESANDRALOLLONTAI still has to run as I post early for a “double bubble” for tomorrow (Thursday).

    Yarmouth 3.50 WAVELET carries a 6lb penalty and is also 6lb clear at the top of the race card.
    The best early market price being at 9/4
