Having developed an interest in racing whilst in college some years ago, James has worked in many areas of the industry, including a stint hiding his face on radio! From 2008 until 2017, he ran a successful tipping service and has had shares in numerous horses including the wonderful Fast Shot. Unsurprisingly given some of the horses he has bought shares in, his punting passions lie in sprint handicaps on both the turf and All-Weather surfaces!

James Boyle smashed in 10/1 & 5/1 winners on Saturday. View today’s selections below.


5:15 Wolverhampton – Diamonique – 1pt @ 10/1

With Keith Dalgleish’s horses in fine form lately, DIAMONIQUE could be set to go well. The 3-year-old filly has failed to win since doubling up in a week as a juvenile but has numerous pieces of form to suggest a mark of 69 is very workable and she was beaten little more than a length on her sole tapeta experience in August. I thought she shaped well at Kempton last time too, unable to mix it with two who were more patiently ridden but keeping on for a creditable third position. A short break since should do no harm and with more to come over the trip, a big run may be forthcoming if she can get a handy early position from stall 8.

7:15 Wolverhampton – Red Stripes – 1pt @ 11/1

RED STRIPES faces competition for the lead here which could make life more difficult than it needs to be but he’s interesting on the back of a 4-length C&D defeat last week when racing from 5lbs out of the handicap in a Class 4. They went hard there too, with a course record falling by 0.06 seconds and I think it’s a run that bodes well. Today, he lines up off his proper mark in a 0-60 and Seamus Cronin, who has won on board the horse four times, returns to remove his 5lb claim. Pace will dictate how this pans out but at any double-figured price, Red Stripes looks overpriced and a replication of that recent effort should see him involved.
