One thing I will say on the subject though, is that it seems to me they are almost embarrassed by the membership fees as trying to find out the actual cost of the service is quite hard. The email I received linked to another page with descriptions of various packages but no mention of the cost and on their website front page there is also a link to a page titled ‘Members Club Launch - All you need to know’. All you need to know except the price that is!
For those that do want to know, the basic package starts at £7.50 per month and the top package is £199.95 per annum. OUCH!

Newmarket July Meeting
We’ve covered 3 races today in our trends guide, which can be purchased from here.
The first race of the day (1.30 Newmarket) had some weakish trends so I didn’t bother with it for the guide but there is a horse running in the race that I think should go well. First City belied her 66/1 odds to run 5th of 19 at Royal Ascot behind Moneycantbuymelove. Despite being hampered twice inside the final 2 furlongs she stuck on well and would have finished a lot closer had she avoided the trouble. She had started her season with a good 3rd behind Fantasia in a Group 3 race and with Ahmed Ajtebi able to take off 3lb looks nicely treated off a rating of 90.
Later on in the afternoon Henry Cecil introduces a impeccably bred colt in the 4.20 Newmarket called Manifest. I’ve heard good things about this one but he does have a tough introduction as the top one, Beauchamp Xerxes, has some very good form in the book. I’ll be having a few pounds on the Cecil beast though in the hope he can produce on the course what he has been doing on the gallops.
And one more for Kempton tonight which will be my attempt to get some punting money for Vegas. He runs in the 7.20 and is coming back after a fairly long layoff. Action Impact last ran on the 1st March where he was a beaten favourite but had previously ran a very good second to War of the Roses and that form is better than anything else on show in this race. Ryan Moore is onboard and he is my idea of the best bet of the day.
I’m also having a go at the Newmarket Placepot today with the following perm….
4-11-15 / 1-7-11 / 2-4-8 / 3-8 / 2-10 /1-9 = 216 bets
Good luck,
Gavin.
