Oh well - the list did okay, an even money winner (Je Suis Charlie) and one at 14/1 (Travel Lightly) - most of the long priced picks don't win, so whilst having a method that filters out longer priced runners the losses that this avoids are not small (the aim is really to take only those in the top 2 or 3 of the betting, because that is where most winners are to be found) . As it panned out only Je Suis Charlie was given as possible bet, and he won, so I'm happy with the outcome,
Yesterday's ratings weren't put up on the site of course, so no point going over the outcome - the ratings lost, with 5 wins from 35 returning just over 15. Filter got 4/15 for 8.54

Channon M R 2-15(4) Burke Mr J J 1-30(8)
GNG OR
- odds are starting to get a bit long. Flat form is okay, but the same goes for several others here.
I can't get excited about this one, although I wouldn't be amazed if he ran well or won.
Haydock 13:15:00 [NH C] Class 2 [21.5f] Stks [[6] run]
119 * 3U50832 Activial (FR) (Bf 3.75) Drawn 0/6 Gelding
George T R 3-21(10) Scudamore Tom 3-31(12)
gng jck
- Ticks boxes, despite no win for a good while ran a good 2nd to Cobra de Mai lto. Has a chance, not one I'll back though.
Huntingdon 13:40:00 [NH H] Class 3 [16f] Hcap [[8] run]
92 * 2111342 Beach Break (Bf 7) Drawn 0/8 Gelding
McCain Jnr D 3-21(6) McCain Miss A 1-2(2)
GNG DST OR
- Ticks all the boxes, odds are a bit long for the winning bracket. It'a a lady riders handicap hurdle so you are probably better off finding a decent rider and then checking the horse has 4 legs - on those grounds I'd say either this one or Collodi is most likely, Not a bet for me though.
Ascot 14:05:00 [NH C] Grade 2 [21f] Stks [[6] run]
136 * 1P73121 Hammersly Lake (FR) (Bf 11) Drawn 0/6 Gelding
Longsdon C E 1-28(5) Bowen Mr S P 8-41(17)
GNG DST
- Odds suggest this one is unlikely, sadly, is highly unlikely to upset Politologue from Paul Nicholl's yard in my view. No bet.
Haydock 14:25:00 [NH H] Grade 3 [24.5f] Hcap [[8] run]
108 * 4114146 Captain Cattistock (Bf 6) Drawn 0/8 Gelding
Nicholls P F 13-46(10) Cobden Mr H 12-38(21)
JCK
- form figs not the best, but just acceptable, odds are just about okay, but Ian Williams' First Assignment looks more likely winner. I won't bet on this as I prefer the Williams runner but won;t bet against my own top rated.
Enjoy the weekend racing - if anyone was unaware Racing UK have a one day only sale on, and are offering RUK for 12 months at £10 a month - I've signed up for it, as it's normally £25 a month. They've been offering a free month and stuff like that, but every few months they do this £10 a month offer for a whole year, and i've been waiting for it to come back round. Anyone interested you need to do it today. I mainly signed up as my wife seems to like watching ATR on Sky, and I figured she might as well have RUK too - it saves me hassle when there's a club runner she wants to watch that is on an RUK track!
