Good morning Ladies and Gentlemen, I have to start off with an apology for the lack of a blog the last two weeks, this is down to the fact that I was in Canada. My brother got married and I was best man, social protocol said I had to be there apparently... It came as a shock to me too. I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive... No? How about if we find some winners together? Well alright then, that is more like it. As always we have produced a video for you covering this weeks Channel 4 races, joining me this week is @Calummadell and @Adamwebb121. The link shall be left below!

My brother who was the Groom in mention regarding the whole wedding thing has also given us a tip for the day, please bare in mind he knows little about racing and lives abroad!!
5:45 Chepstow - Ace High (11/1)
But now onto this week's selections and hopefully a successful return to blogging with some winners from strong fancies.
3:10 Newmarket - Outstrip
If you are a regular reader you will know how highly I regard Outstrip after previous efforts. He has tasted defeat just once in his three outings and that was to the highly touted Toormore who looks a potential world beater. Last time out was without doubt his best performance when sweeping aside The Grey Gatsby who is a fair yard stick in his own right. Mickael Barzalona takes the ride today which is a huge positive at Newmarket, nobody rides the track better than him, especially on a horse like this. For those who like form lines he also has the clear beating of War Command as he was behind Sudirman who went on to be comfortably beaten by none other than Toormore. If you take that literally the prices are grossly wrong, but its foolish to take that literally. Outstrip to land the Dewhurst and War Command is the lay of the day. (15/8)
3:20 Hexham - Etxalar
Etxalar has been a useful horse for a long time and despite being a 10 year old really caught my eye last time out at Perth when being given a soft ride. Despite that he still managed to get involved and wasn't far behind Strobe who re-opposes on worse terms today. The only confidence in backing him today is that he looks well handicapped but the use of a claimer puts doubts in my mind as Peter Buchanan prefers another. If his jumping holds up then he will take some beating off this mark today. (6/1)
3:30 York - Doc Hay
Doc Hay was an eye catcher at Doncaster after meeting trouble and finishing strongly over 5 furlongs and was again an eye catcher at Beverley over the same trip. He then won when stepped up in trip to 6 furlongs which is his optimum trip and also today's trip under David Nolan who gets on well with him. I'm not too sure why he was then dropped back to the minimum distance but they look to right that wrong today. He still looks potentially well handicapped back at a trip that he will actually enjoy and could be a tad overpriced today in a competitive race. (12/1)
4:15 Chepstow - Balder Succes
Our last main selection of the day is also our NAP of the day on his Chasing Debut. Since his juvenile hurdling days I have been waiting for him to jump a fence as that looks his true calling judged on his scope and how he jumps a hurdle. This looks a nice introduction in a potentially weak race and I am shocked he isn't favourite ahead of Easter Day, but hey that is our gain. Robert Thornton is back from injury and takes the ride which is a positive regardless of what some people say about him... Cough Calum Madell... Cough. If Balder Succes doesn't get his Chasing career off to a winning start tomorrow I will be shocked to say the least. (15/8)

2:20 York - Sam Sharp
3:50 Newmarket - Recession Proof
4:10 York - Supersta
4:55 Newmarket - Safety Check
5:10 York - Barren Brook
5:25 Newmarket - French Navy
