The start of a new week and Monday's racing see's action from Pontefract and Southwell (AW) this afternoon, and later in the evening we have cards at Windsor and Ffos Las to look forward to.
So, onto today's free tip and here I've gone for the 4:00 at Pontefract, the EBF Stallions Breeding Winners Park Suite Fillies' Handicap over 6f. And for this one I've gone with the 3 year old STEPPING OUT (currently 9/4 with LADBROKES) Bet here >>> 
Stepping Out has had 5 starts, with two seconds and two wins under her belt, having won her latest race over 6f at Goodwood on the 6th June, making all and finishing in control, although only by a neck from Divine. Also, Jockey Richard Kingscote has been in fine form of late, notching up 6 wins in the last week.

Yesterday ensured my tipping comeback got off to the perfect start as the free tip, BETWEEN WICKETS came home the winner in the 3:55 at Chester. The 3 year old, ridden by Ben Curtis, bumped the start but recovered and was soon with the leader, before leading over 1f out. Stayed on well. Opened 6/4 Starting Price 7/4
Onto the Gold Membership tips now, and the next race at Chester, the Smiles and More Handicap over 1m 4 1/2f. For this I went with ENGLISH SUMMER, who was stepping back down in trip after two consecutive second place finishes over 14f. And he didn't let me down tracking the leaders from the start, went second over 4f out, ridden to lead over 1f out, hung left, driven out. Starting Price 2/1
Unfortunately Saturday's other tip, ANGELITO (10/1) who was to run in the 5:05 at Chester, was a Non-Runner.
There's no tips for Sunday's racing but will be back on Monday, provided I find a few fancies. Please share my site around where you can, Twitter, Google+ etc, it'd be much appreciated. Thanks for checking my blog, have a great day!
For today's free tip I've looked at the 3:55 at Chester; the Class 4 Budweiser Maiden Stakes over 7f 122y.
8 runners go in this race (providing there's none taken out), and I'm going for BETWEEN WICKETS. This 3 year old has had 4 starts in his career so far, and has placed in them all. Last time out ran well, pressing the winner close home and kept on, taking second just a 1/2 length behind the eventual winner.
The danger in the race would be Nabeel

Leading Qipco 1000 Guineas hope Chriselliam has been put down after failing to recover from a foot infection.
The Charlie Hills-trained daughter of Iffraaj triumphed in the
Fillies Mile at Ascot last season from the classy Rizeena, before
connections took the brave decision to send her to the Breeders' Cup.
And
they were rewarded at Santa Anita when she streaked clear under Richard
Hughes to win the Juvenile Fillies Turf in tremendous style.
Last month Hills revealed that Chriselliam had been suffering with a
poisoned foot and was recovering at the Equine Hospital in Lambourn
before being moved to Newmarket.
Hills told the Racing Post on Friday: "The vets were unable to get the infection under control with the antibiotics.
"She went up for surgery earlier today and they found the infection
had spread and she had to be put down. It was progressing into the pedal
bone. She has had the problem for a month and during that time every
effort has been made to resolve it but unfortunately it was
uncontrollable."
Shocking news. Condolences to her connections. RIP.

Frankel And Midday Produce A Filly
The unbeaten Frankel and six-time Group 1 winning Midday have produced a bay filly. Paddy Power have offered odds of 66/1 on the filly winning the 2017 1000 Guineas, and 66/1 on the filly winning the 2017 Epsom Oaks.
Latest Weather Problems
Thursday's cards at Clonmel (IRE) and Taunton have been abandoned but there is still plenty of racing to look forward to, including action from Meydan (UAE), Huntingdon and Doncaster, and all-weather from Wolverhampton.
Friday's card at Bangor-On-Dee is subject to an 8:30 am inspection on Thursday morning.
Newcastle's clerk is continuously monitoring the situation for their card on Friday, but more rain is expected, with the current going described as Heavy.
Sunday's fixture at Exeter has been made an all-hurdle affair, after three chases were abandoned due to waterlogging. There are three replacement hurdle races to be programmed.
There is more wind and rain forecast in the coming days, causing havoc up and down the country, so more abandonments could be possible.
Sprinter Sacre Back In The Public Eye
Sprinter Sacre is set to be at Newbury this Saturday, to make a first appearance in public since pulling up at Kempton in December. He will circle the parade ring for 15 minutes before racing, as he continues his rehabilitation from the irregular heart beat.
Trainer Nicky Henderson said, 'After what happened at Kempton, we're keen to give him a good experience on his return to a racecourse, and this is a perfect opportunity.'
Rock On Ruby Hopes Hang On Weather Outcome
Winner of the 2012 Champion Hurdle, Rock On Ruby has been declared for the Doncaster meeting on Thursday, but his trainer Harry Fry has said that heavy rain could scupper the plan. Fry is desperate for better ground in order to get some crucial match practise over fences, before the Arkle.
Rock On Ruby currently top price of 9/1 for the Arkle.
