30/09/2014 In-Running Lays: Back-to-lay Red All Star and Alderbrook Lad

3.20 Fairyhouse: Red All Star likes to race right up with pace and could even get to the lead in this race that will see his price shorten enough for a back-to-lay.  It’s hard to envisage what price this horse will go off at as it 12:10 there hasn’t been any money traded on this horse and only £715 traded on the whole event but look to get on at 40.0+ to trade out at half those odds in-running.

4.00 Sedgefield: On a really poor day of racing Alderbrook Lad looks the best back-to-lay of the day.  He’s a front runner who should get his own way upfront in this small field; at around 6.0 he is a great price for a back-to-lay.

4.50 Chepstow: Toe To Toe has a great in-running record over hurdles; having traded below half his BSP in 6 out of 7 hurdle races. He will most likely race back in the field and make some late headway that could see is price contract enough for a back-to-lay double up.  He currently trades around 17.0 which is a great price for a back-to-lay.

29/09/2014 In-Running Lays: Back-to-lay Owen Na View and Combustible Lady

3.30 Newton Abbot: Owen Na View has looked a likely winner in many of his races to date having traded at 10% of his BSP 5 times from 10 races without registering a win.  At around 7.8 he is a great price for a back-to-lay or you could even try a much shorter back-to-lay at 20% of the back price as he has traded to that level 7 times in 10 races.

16.05 Roscommon: The Black Russian and Enjoy Responsibly look to be the pace in this race and they both could set quite a pace early on and open up a lead on the field.  On a day where there aren’t many opportunities  you could try back to lays on both of these front runners and look to lay off at 40% of the back price sol we would just need one to be matched to make a profit.

4.30 Newton Abbot: Combustible Lady is a strong travelling horse that makes headway late in her races that has seen her trade below 50% of BSP in her last 6 races.  She should go close again; she is trading around 7.8 which a great price for a back-to-lay.

28/09/2014 In-Running Lays: Back-to-lay Body Beautiful and Hiking

3.20 Epsom: Hiking could get an easy time upfront in this 1 mile handicap as he may end up making it like he did last time when just getting caught late on. Look to back around 6.0 to lay back at half those odds in-running.

4.40 Curragh: Body Beautiful is a fairly unexposed front runner who gets a 7lb claimer on-board today.  She won last time out off 78 and now goes off at 83 with today’s claimer more than eliminating the rise in the weights.  Prior to that win she went close in a tough group 3 contest leading by over 4 lengths at the half-way stage having traded all the way down to 8.0 in-running from a BSP of 82.11.  This contest is much more her level and could go close to make for a back-to-lay around 14.0 to lay back at half those odds.

26/09/2014 In-Running Lays: Back-to-lay Galizzi and Arriana

Today sees some really competitive racing with lots of top rated in-running horses highlighted in our ‘In-running Ratings’ page at Newmarket but it could pay to avoid these tough races and concentrate on some of the small meetings today for in-running trades.

4.45 Haydock: Galizzi steps up to 1 mile 6 furlongs after some decent efforts at 1 mile 4.  He travels well in his races that we should be able to trade out at half the back odds even if the extra distance does find him out at the end.  Look to back at 10.0 and lay off at 5.0 in-running.

6.10 Dundalk: Arriana drops down in class after a couple of efforts in listed company.  Last time out she found trouble in-running here at Dundalk having looked a likely winner when trading down to 1.4 in-running so will be looking to take this nursery which looks a lot easier.  She’s quite short in the betting but looks to have a lot in her favour to go very close and possibly win; look to back at 5.0 and lay off at 2.5 in-running.

25/09/2014 In-Running Lays: Back-to-lay Lady Moscou, Omaha Gold and Remember

14.55 Pontefract: Lady Moscou has been incredibly consistent in her races in only finishing out of the first 2 places once in 6 runs and trading below half her BSP in all runs to date.  She currently trades around 6.2 to back so you can lay off at half those odds in-running.

17.15 Pontefract: Omaha Gold should be fitter for his last run when well beaten after being off for 10 months.  Despite his long absence he ran well in the lead to trade below half his BSP as he has in all but one of his races.  He looks likely to go for the lead again today which will see him trade low in running; back at 8.6 to lay in-running at half those odds.

17.55 Newmarket: Remember seems to really excel at Newmarket in terms of her in-running trading prices and also registering 2 of her 3 wins here at this distance of 6 furlongs.  She currently trades around 6.6 so look to back around this price and lay back at half those odds in-running for a back-to-lay.

24/09/2014 In-Running Lays: Back-to-lay Robins Command, Welsh Sunrise and Rydan

16.10 Perth: Robins Command may be on the short side for a back-to-lay at 4.0 but as a front runner there’s a good chance he will trade to half those odds given his record at Perth with two wins here over course and distance.  Look to back at 4.0+ and lay off at half in running

16.55 Goodwood: Welsh Sunrise is worth a back-to-lay stepping back up in distance to 7 furlongs after some creditable efforts in 6 furlong sprints.  He travels well in his races and at around 17.0+ will be a bet to lay off at half in running.

8.50 Kempton: Rydan has been in great form and was stepped up to class two handicap company last time out but got no luck in running and could not get competitive until it was too late.  He drops back to class 3 company and back up in distance to 1 mile 3 furlongs that should suit along with this smaller field he should avoid trouble in running to travel well enough to trade out at half the back odds; currently around 9.6.

23/09/2014 In-Running Lays: Back-to-lay Jimmy's Girl, Real Tigress and Dr Irv

2.00 Nottingham: Jimmy’s Girl could well lead a long way in this sprint helped along with a valuable 5lb the claimer Cam Hardie will take off.  You can try and get matched at 14.0 to lay off in-running at 7.0.

4.45 Beverly: Real Tigress seems to perform well at Beverly with her only wins coming here and the other two times she traded below 20% of her BSP.  Today’s quick ground will suit; in fact the only two times she hasn’t traded below half her BSP is on rain softened ground.  She is currently trading around 9.4 which would be a great price to lay off in running at half those odds for a back-to-lay.

4.50 Newcastle: Dr Irv should go close again in this stayers event.  Megan Carberry is on board claiming a valuable 5lb having ridden him in his last two races to see him trade down to less than 10% of his BSP.  Look to back at 7.0 and lay off at 3.5 in-running.

22/09/2014 In-Running Lays: Back-to-lay Smart Daisy K

4.00 Leicester: Smart Daisy K won last time out in a class 4 handicap and should go close again in this class 3 event even off a career high mark.  She currently trades around 6.0 to back so you can lay off at 3.0 in-running.

4.20 Hamilton: Park Place could be worth taking on in the 1 mile 1 furlong event.  He’s only had 6 runs to date but in that time he’s started out in a maiden against Ruler Of The World, ran over distances of 10, 12 and 8 furlongs before contesting a 2 mile 1 furlong hurdle at Aintree and is on his third trainer back on the flat.  You could try an in-running lay at 1.4 as he has a history of getting beat short prices.

21/09/2014 In-Running Lays: Back-to-lay Deciding Moment, Exitas, Massannie and Arizona John

3.40 Uttoxeter: Deciding Moment travels well in his races; usually waited with in rear and making late headway to flatter in his races.  He’s in great form and should go close so look to back at 6.0 and lay at half the back odds.

4.10: Uttoxeter: Exitas is a front runner that could be worth siding with in this open handicap.  He could well open up a telling lead in this race to allow a trade out at half of the back odds; he’s currently trading around 7.0.

4.30 Plumpton: Massannie looks a good back-to-lay bet as he steps up in distance in this hurdle race. Look to back at 6.0+ and lay back at half the price.

4.50 Hamilton: Arizona John has been an in-running money machine; trading below half his BSP in 19 of his last 20 runs.  He steps up an extra furlong in distance which should be no problem and will relish the good to firm going to make a good back-to-lay bet around 6.4.

20/09/2014 In-Running Lays: Back-to-lay Justice Day, Arab Dawn and Kikonga

2.55 Newbury: Arab Dawn has traded below half his BSP in all his 8 runs to date including 3 wins. More importantly he seems to handle cut in the ground with a win on good to soft and has run on soft and heavy and traded low in those races as well.  He should start around 10.0 so look to lay back at 5.0.

3.30 Newbury: Justice Day faces a tough field in this sprint but he does handle soft ground and could well travel well for a long way around 10.0 for a back-to-lay back at half those odds.

5.00 Ayr: Lesha is in great form and apart from missing the break two runs back and always behind; he had traded below half his BSP in the 10 runs previous. He should start around 12.0 so look to try a back-to-lay at half those odds.

5.25 Newmarket: Kikonga looks to have many things in her favour today despite carrying top-weight in this handicap.  Her last win last year was on good to firm which she will get today and will benefit from a 5lb claim from today’s jockey Louis Steward which puts him on his last winning mark.  Look to back-to-lay around 10.0.

19/09/2014 In-Running Lays: Back-to-lay Al Fareej, Nafaath and Ty Gwr

2.15 Newton Abbot: Bonne Fee is in great form and while it would be no surprise to see her win again for the third time in a row it could be worth chancing an in-running lay on her. She is currently trading below evens so try an in-running lay at 1.25 as she is meeting some decent horses this time around and may not find it as easy as her last two facile romps.

3.45 Ayr: Al Fareej has been going very close in all his races apart from a tough group 2 at Ascot but todays listed event will be more within his reach and should go close again today.  Look to back at 8.0 and lay off at 4.0 for a double up.

4.10 Listowel: Vector Force is in great form following on from a win last time out at Naas and should go close again today.  While he doesn’t have a great draw he should have enough speed to get a prominent position out of the stalls. Look to back at 8.0 and lay off at half those odds for a double up.

4.20 Ayr: Nafaath looks a great front-runner to try a back-to-lay with. This stayer has traded below 10% of his BSP in last three runs on the flat over distances of 2 miles plus.  He should start around 10.0 so you lay back at half those odds or even try shorter for a greater return.

5.10 Newbury: Ty Gwr made a belated appearance last time out and ran well for a long time over 9 furlongs.  He steps up to 10 furlongs today which should suit better and looks a decent back-to-lay around 10.0 that you can lay off at half that price.

18/09/2014 In-Running Lays: Back-to-lay Fire Fighting

2.35 Listowel: No Wunder has traded below 20% of his BSP in 5 of his 8 runs to date without registering a win.  This looks to be an easier opportunity for him here but it’s possible he could find it tougher dropping down to a mile; his better and recent runs have come over further. He’s currently trading around 2.5 so it could be worth trying an in-running lay around the 1.3 mark with his history of being beaten at short prices.

4.40 Ayr: Fire Fighting has traded at least half of his BSP in his last 8 runs; winning 3 of those and should be backed to do the same again.  He has a 6lb penalty for his recent win but that shouldn’t stop him going close again today, he usually travels just behind the pace and quite often leads late on which should allow us to trade out of our back-to-lay at around 8.0 mark to lay at 4.0.

16/09/2014 In-Running Lays: Lay Bally Longford and Tregaro

4.05 Sedgefield: Tregaro has traded below half his BSP in his last eight runs but will be way too short for a back-to-lay in this four runner race but it could be worth trying an in-running lay at 1.4 as he does travel well in his races but with only four wins from 32 races; he doesn't win very often.

4.15 Thirsk: Emef Diamond looks likely to have an easy time of it on the lead in this race and seems to like it here where he has registered his only win to date.  At around 12.0 he appeals as a back-to-lay bet.

4.40 Listowel: Bally Longford has been beaten at very short prices and quite often and is certainly worth taking on in what is effectively a match between himself and exciting novice Silver Tassie.  He is too short for a back-to-lay but you can try an in-running lay at 1.4 as he front runs and can open up big leads in his races.

15/09/2014 In-Running Lays: Back-to-lay Key To Your Heart

2.30 Wolverhampton: Key To Your Heart has a great in-running record and will likely lead in this sprint.  He currently trades around the 11/4 mark which is too low for a back-to-lay but it could be worth chancing an in-running lay at 1.4.

2.40 Musselburgh: Somedaysrdiamonds could well lead in this class 5 sprint back on turf.  She was caught late on in a class 3 sprint, only beaten 2 lengths after leading and trading down to 2.60 from a BSP of 22.92 so is worth chancing at around 12.0 for a back-to-lay at half those odds.

14/09/2014 In-Running Lays: Lay Steeler In-running

A tough day's competitive racing with not many standout in-running chances:

3.10 Curragh: Abstraction likes to race prominently and could even lead in this sprint. He will be around 25.0 to win this so is a good price for a back-to-lay.

3.50 Bath: Steeler is a short priced favourite in this mile contest and is favoured by the race conditions but it could be worth chancing a short priced in-running lay at 1.25 as he could well lead and be there to be shot at.

13/09/2014 In-Running Lays: Lay Wintour Leap and Smart Daisy K

2.15 Bath: Powerful Wind is a front runner that has run well at Bath before.  He’s come down the weight’s a little and has Shane Gray on board taking a further 3lb off that puts him on a mark he has won on before. The firm ground today will help him further and could see him trade low enough for a back-to-lay around the 50.0 mark.

3.15 Doncaster: The strong travelling Es Que Love and front running Ansgar are both of interest in this contest at Doncaster.  Ansgar should lead in this and take them along for long enough to see him trade low enough for a double up while Es Que Love should find this much easier than the Haydock Sprint Cup where he made late headway to finish sixth.  Look to back-to-lay at 40% of BSP to ensure a profit if only one gets matched and even better if both do.

3.25 Bath: Smart Daisy K ran a great race last time out finishing third in a 16 handicap and should go close again today.  She is on a mark she hasn’t won on so it could be worth trying a short priced in-running lay on her as she is too short in the betting for a back-to-lay and could well travel well in to the latter stages to lead late on.

4.10 Chester: Potent Embrace steps back up to 10 furlongs and handicap company that may suit better for this front runner to trade low in-running.  He should start around 14.0 so look to back-to-lay at half those odds for a double up.

7.40 Wolverhampton: Wintour Leap has been running great; finishing second the last three runs and looks to be getting closer each time but the handicapper is bumping him up a couple of pounds every time.  He’s traded at a fifth of his BSP in those last three runs and today he will be around 5.0 so it could be worth trying an in-running lay at 1.5 if he goes close again we could get matched at a short price.

12/09/2014 In-Running Lays: Back-to-lay Arty Campbell

3.05 Chester: Kimbrella likes to race up with the pace which has seen him trade quite low in-running.  All his wins have come over 6 furlongs so while today's 7 furlongs might not be his best distance he could well travel well in the latter stages to try and get matched for a straight lay at even money in-running.

4.15 Chester: Arty Campbell ran a stinker last time but that was on soft ground which as seen him run poorly in the past but today's better ground will suit him a lot better.  In all his runs on better ground he has traded to at least half his BSP every time so is a great back-to-lay shot today at around 12.0 to lay back at half those odds.

11/09/2014 In-Running Lays: Back-to-lay Persian Bolt and Shore Step

2.20 Chepstow: Persian Bolt usually likes to lead and if doing so again today could make a good back-to-lay if you can get on at 6.0 to lay back at 3.0 in-running.

5.10 Chepstow: Now What enjoyed a rare win over this course and distance last time out and should go well again with the help of 7lb claimer Jack Budge to negate the rise in the weights for his last win.  Look to back at 6.0+ and lay of at half those odds.

5.35 Doncaster: Shore Step is a prominent runner who has traded below half his BSP in all his 13 runs to date and should be backed to do the same again today. Look to back at 14.0 to lay back at 7.0.

10/09/2014 In-Running Lays: Back-to-lay Caolaneoin at Galway

3.35 Doncaster: Cliff ran well at Doncaster last time out and returns here and at around 14.0 is a good price for a back-to-lay.

4.45 Doncaster: Nakuti is worth a back-to-lay in this contest in which he should start around 14.0 to lay back at half those odds.

5.30 Galway: Caolaneoin looks the day’s best back-to-lay.  He’s been front running in his races and opens up big leads on the field that has seen him trade low in-running so should be backed around 12.0 to lay back at 6.0.

09/09/2014 In-Running Lays: Lay West Montan and Draco In-running

4.10 Worcester: Taaresh has traded below 50% of his BSP 28 times from his 35 runs. At Worcester he has two wins from two visits at the track so is definitely worth a back-to-lay at around 16.0 for today’s contest.

4.15 Galway: West Montan has been racing prominently in his last few runs that could see him trade low in-running if doing the same today.  The race looks a match between himself and Waver who is having his first run over hurdles – you could try to get matched at 1.4 in-running.

4.45 Galway: Draco registered his first win in 10 runs last time out and will be vying for favouritism this time with Most peculiar who beat him when they last met here at the festival.  It could be worth chancing an in-running lay at 1.5 to see if you can get matched at short odds.

6.20 Galway: Afatcat will be a massive price in this race at around 100.0+ but could well be a good back-to-lay as he likes to lead which could see his price drop to half quite easily.

08/09/2014 In-Running Lays: Back-to-lay Castorienta

2.30 Brighton: Castorienta has been travelling well in to the latter stages of her races and should do so again today.  Back-to-lay around 8.0 to lay off at half those odds.

3.50 Perth: Robins Command has notched quite a few wins of late and is bound to go close again today but it could be worth taking him on this time with a short priced in-running lay at 1.5 as he’s shot up the weights and favourite for this.

4.50 Perth: Glenn Na Ndochais won last time out and is up 7lb for that victory putting him on a career high of 113, his highest winning mark has been 106.  He’s favourite for this event and too short for a back-to-lay but it could be worth trying a short in-running lay at 1.5.

07/09/2014 In-Running Lays: Back-to-lay Dr Irv and Elusive George

4.05 York: Dr Irv ran a great race last time out under Megan Carberry in a stayer’s race at Thirsk trading all the way down to 2.00 from a BSP of 15.66 after hitting the front a furlong out before finishing fourth.  Carberry gets the ride again claiming 5lb so he should go close again for a back-to-lay.  Look to back at 12.0 and lay at half those odds for a double-up.

4.40 York: Elusive George likes to race just behind the pace which has seen him trade at less than half his BSP in 7 out of 8 runs. He won last time out at Doncaster over six furlongs and should go close again, he should start around 20.0 so is a great price for a back-to-lay.

Excellent Result and Village Wind Run at Veliefendi

Goldolphin seem to be sweeping up all the prizes at Veliefendi in Turkey and their Excellent Result is a big price with RaceBets.com at 5/1 for this contest.  He’s been quite disappointing at Goodwood and Newmarket this summer but was in great form in Meydan prior to that and looks another one that just runs way above his British form internationally.

Village Wind looks the best of the Turkish runners and could surprise and run better than his current odds of 9/1 with RaceBets.com which is nearly twice that of Ladbrokes next best at 5/1.

Sea the Moon runs over at Baden-Baden and is 2-1 on with our bookmakers but is only 90% fit according to his trainer Markus Klug who still considers he can take this despite lack of condition.  Lucky Lion and Lucky Speed could be worth chancing at odds of 5/1 and 25/1 respectively if the favourite underperforms.

Terrubi who has been running in stayers events in France has been transferred over to Germany and could be a big price on the German PMU that could be worth getting involved with.  You can bet in to the German PMU with RaceBets.com.

06/09/2014 In-Running Lays: Back-to-lay Safety Check and Es Que Love

1.55 Ascot: Safety Check has been traded below half his BSP in all his 12 runs to date and should be backed to do the same again.  Last time out he was restrained at the back of the field and made modest head-way just enough to just trade low enough but his best performances have been when leading or being right behind the pace so hopefully it will be same today with Cam Hardie on board to claim 5lb to aid his cause.

3.35 Kempton: Mystery Drama has been running really consistently and is worth chancing a back-to-lay with split stakes as he can trade really low coming with a late run.

3.40 Thirsk: Master the World won last time out and should go close again, try a back-to-lay if you are able to get on at 6.0+.

3.50 Haydock: Es Que Love has turned in some great performances recently including a group 2 win last time out over 7 furlongs.  He drops down to 6 furlongs for this sprint that will be no problem to him and although he shouldn't be good enough to win it he should travel well till late in the race and any more rain would surely help him further. Astaire will most probably blast off in-front but everyone seems wise to him folding late on so it could be a struggle to lay off a back-to-lay in-running so is best avoided.

4.45 Kempton: Bold Runner is worth a back-to-lay if you can get on at 6.0+. He seems to really like the all-weather and recently stepped up to 2 mile and went very close so today’s race conditions should be perfect for him.

6.50 Wolverhampton: If Flying Power gets to the lead he should stay there long enough to get a back-to-lay matched.  He won last time out on and should go close again around 12.0.

05/09/2014 In-Running Lays: Back-to-lay Wandsworth, Porthos Du Vallon and Carraig Rock

5.50 Kempton: Wandsworth already has a win over Kempton's all-weather track and should go well again today and make the running.  If you can back him at 6.0 you can lay back at 3.00 for a double-up, otherwise you could chance an in-running lay at 1.5.

6.10 Musselburgh: Porthos Du Vallon is in great form following a recent win in an Ayr handicap and should go well again today.  He is worth chancing a back-to-lay, he is trading around 8.0 so look to lay back at half those odds

9.20 Kempton: Carraig Rock takes a big step up in distance after several good efforts that have seen him trade below 10% of his BSP the last three runs.  He races just behind the leaders and travels well in his races so it could well see him trade low late on even if the extra distance tells at the finish.  Back at 6.0 and lay at 3.0.

04/09/2014 In-Running Lays: Back-to-lay Captain Brown, Lay Seamster and Remember

2.35 Laytown: Seamster travels over from England to run at Ireland’s Laytown and it’s hard to know how he’s going to handle racing on the beach but he’s an habitual front runner who could blast off forcing his price low in-running.  I wouldn’t want to risk a back-to-lay as he could totally flop but it could be worth putting up a short in-running lay at 1.4.

4.30 Sedgefield: Captain Brown is a front runner that is worth a back-to-lay, he may well be taken on for the lead by Tamarillo Grove and they could end up cutting each other’s throat but this could see them open up a lead on the field to see them both trade low in-running.  Look to back Captain Brown at 14.0 and lay at 7.0 for a double up.

4.50 Salisbury: Remember is a strong travelling filly that usually ends up hitting the front in the last couple of furlongs which sees her trade very short in-running before fading late on.  If you can get 6.0+ then look to back-to-lay otherwise it could be worth trying an in-running lay at 1.5.

03/09/2014 In-Running Lays: Back-to-lay Placidia and Dudes and Diamonds

4.30 Gowran park: Dudes and Diamonds looks a good back-to-lay bet.  He likes to race prominently and could even set the pace.  He’s been tried in listed company a few times finding it too hot but has been very competitive in maiden company and could start 16.0+ for this one..

5.05 Lingfield: Placidia already has a win over Lingfield’s all-weather track and returns here again over the same distance.  She should start around 20.0 for a back-to-lay bet you can lay back at half those odds.

5.25 Bath: Go Glamorous and Monarch Maid look set to be the pace in this race and it could be worth backing both pre-race and lay off at 40% of the back price to secure a profit if one of them can lead late on.

02/09/2014 In-Running Lays: Lay Potent Embrace and Major Jack

3.50 Hamilton: Potent Embrace is a tough Mark Johnston front runner who could trade quite low in running.  He is too short around 11/4 for a back-to-lay but it could be worth chancing an in-running lay at 1.8.

4.25 Hamilton: Ronald Gee likes to race prominently and even lead which has seen him trade below half his BSP in all but one of his 11 runs to date without registering a win.  Look to back at 7.0 and lay at 3.5 for a double up.

8.20 Kempton: Major Jack has a win to his name on Lingfield’s all-weather track in a poor maiden sprint and should run well today in this handicap.  If you can get 6.0+ you could try a back-to-lay if not it could be worth chancing an in-running lay at 1.5.

01/09/2014 In-Running Lays: Lay Play the Blues at Brighton

Monday’s racing looks poor and nothing really stands out as a really good in-running lay or back-to-lay except for one at Brighton.

2.30 Brighton: Play the Blues has yet to register a win in 19 runs and is worth taking on in-running to see if we can get matched at a short price.  He has been front-running in his last two runs but always races up with the pace so we could try to get matched at even money in-running.  You could even try the place market at 1.2.
