Well… this was a very fun experience!
I never thought things like this would be possible, but the past couple of years have been unbelievable. Thank you all for your support, it truly means a lot! 🙌
And to confirm: me and
@_tomstanley_
did reconcile after my cheap digs 😂
👍 Good to see

My National Hunt “Horses to Follow” for the 2021/22 season!
🐎 20 horses
❌ 0 wins last season
Featuring insight from trainers and owners! 📝
Your support is greatly appreciated! ❤️♻️
Incredibly humbled and honoured to have (somehow) won Tipstar 2022!
I genuinely can’t thank you all enough. To those who have supported me for the past few years, it truly means the world.
Now enough of me being soppy, I’m off for a pint! 🍻
⭐ Many congratulations Dan Overall (
@OverandClear
). The winner of Tipstar 2022 - Search For A Broadcaster.
⭐ A most worthy champ - and humble with it.
Commiserations to our other superb finalists. The standard this year was exceptional.
IT’S HERE!
My National Hunt “Horses to Follow” for 2020/21!
The twist... NONE of them won a race last season 👀
I wanted to bring you something a bit different - hopefully I’ve found some “under the radar” gems!
Likes/RT’s greatly appreciated! ❤️♻️
Thrilled to say that I’ll be making my
@RacingTV
studio debut tomorrow afternoon!
I’ll be helping to cover the final day of the William Hill
@PerthRacecourse
festival!
Really looking forward to it & hopefully I’ll do it justice 🤞🙌
I can’t believe I’m going to get up at 4am to watch a flat race, yet here we are!
We’re all Vauban tonight, aren’t we?
(And feel free to post your filthy ante-post slips below. We stand together!)
🩷💚
I’m back with one for tomorrow!
3:15 Warwick - Outonpatrol (HTF) 12/1 EW (4 places with PP/Betfair)
After a hectic last couple of weeks, I should be much more active now - thank you all for your patience!
Write up below ⬇️⬇️⬇️
A winning hurdling debut for Lord Baddesley!!
It didn’t look likely early on - he was very slow at the first three flights but his jumping improved markedly throughout the race!
9/2 last night but there will be a R4 (7/2 SP)
2/2 for October!
One for tomorrow at Fontwell:
12:30 - Lord Baddesley 9/2
Es Perfecto boosted the form of that Kempton bumper today so let’s hope LB can enhance it further!
Full write up below ⬇️⬇️⬇️
So... the last 10 selections have resulted in:
5 wins (50/1, 5/1, 12/1, 4/1 and 9/2)
1 place (8/1)
+38.82pts profit at advised stakes
This recent run has been incredible - only matched by your amazing support!
Let’s keep it going! 🙌
Fucking embarrassing. I got pretty much everything wrong from start to finish.
I can only apologise to anyone who followed me this week, ante-post and all.
I’m off for a few days to lick my wounds - I hope you all fared considerably better than I did!
Cheltenham 2021!
In partnership with
@cheltenham
, I’m delighted to announce that I’ll be writing a series of race previews for the Cheltenham Festival!
28 days, 28 previews; with one posted every day throughout February!
Be sure to check them out at:
The man literally mentioned every single novice chase, even the one he isn’t entered for (and wouldn’t be qualified for even if he was!) 😂
What chance do we have!?
Which race would you run Sir Gerhard in at the Cheltenham Festival? 🤔
🗣️Willie Mullins says his eight-year-old is likely to head to straight to
@CheltenhamRaces
following his
@GowranPark1
win...but for which contest? 😃
I’ve waited long enough - it’s time to talk about the jumps!
Starting next week, the “winless ones to watch” will be back.
20 horses.
Combined no. of wins (last season): 0
Novice hurdles, novice chasers & plenty of handicappers included!
It feels good to be back 🙌🙌
🚨 Exciting news!
#Tipstar2022
winner Dan Overall (
@OverandClear
) will be sharing his horses to follow for the 2022-23 jumps season on over the coming weeks 🙌
Spoiler alert: Dan’s columns will include plenty ‘under the radar’ plus exclusive quotes 👀
That’s a beautiful round of jumping from Barton Knoll!!
He’s one that a shade cosily - 14/1 into 11/2!
Hopefully a few of you were able to get the 16s with Bet365 but it will be recorded at 14/1!
Do Your Job gets his first win over hurdles!!
Ultimately, his previous experience over hurdles has paid dividends as Truckers Pass kept going left at his obstacles
They are two very nice types!
4/1 ➡️ 9/4
We’re 3/3 in Novice Hurdles this month!
Last year, my Nan had 2 bets:
King George - Tornado Flyer ✅
Welsh National - Iwilldoit ✅
This year, she’s going for the double again:
Hitman
Movethechains
You’ve been warned!
(FYI, she uses a complex combo of names/numbers/colours to make her selections)
The good run continues!!
He settled much better today and travelled powerfully into the lead before idling after the last... I was getting a touch nervous in the final 100 yards!
We kick off December with a nice winner 👍
WOW - that was tight!!
Es Perfecto, despite being very keen early on, stayed on nicely and overcame being hampered at the last to win (just) from the flying Nickelsonthedime!
4/1 ➡️ 9/4fav
Nice to get October off to a winning start 👍
Here it is, my entry for the final of
#Tipstar2020

International Hurdle (3:00) - Silver Streak 7/1
I’m hoping there isn’t too much rain! It doesn’t help when every forecast is different 😅
Best of luck to the other finalists!

Merry Christmas all!
It’s been, to put it lightly, a strange year.
But I’m very grateful for the racing community on here. Without it, I’m not sure how I would’ve kept myself sane through the months of shielding!
Keep safe and have a great day!
Bring on the racing!🍻🍻❄️❄️
Looks like we had a winner!!
22/1 SP too 😵😵😵
It will be recorded at 16s as it was up last night but well done to those who got the bigger price!
It’s good to be back 🙌🙌🙌
2020 - Profit and Loss Review
P/L: +99.08pts

Fully aware that I’m very selective, hence the high ROI
Monthly breakdown below... ⬇️⬇️⬇️
For those that missed my earlier tweet, I’m going to take a week off from tipping/tweeting.
I haven’t really been enjoying it lately and I think a break will do me a world of good!
Stay safe and I’ll speak to you all soon - I might well come back for Cheltenham 👀👍
Just the 1 small EW bet tomorrow:
4:10 Stratford - Princeton Royale 50/1
Again, risks attached but this looks a fairly open race and he can be competitive if he bounces back to form - and there are reasons to expect him to.
0.75pts staked in total.
Here are your
#Tipstar2020
finalists 🎉
📺Look out for a live draw on the channel later today as we determine which Cheltenham race on Saturday each will have to try and solve
Congratulations 🙌
Happy New Year everyone!
Thank you all for your incredible support this year. Through these strange times, it really has been a shining light.
Here’s hoping 2021 is better (in all aspects!)
Cheers 🍻🍻🍻

The support lately has been phenomenal. It really does mean a lot and I can’t thank you all enough.
We only reached 1,000 in July! It really has been a crazy couple of months.
Here’s to a successful NH season - we’re only just getting started! 🍻🙌

Travelled like a dream and jumped superbly on route to fairly comfortable victory!
Put up at 5/1, went off the 3/1 favourite!

It’s crazy how much support I’ve received from you guys, especially in the last few months!
I’ll always be grateful! 🙌🙌🙌
Update on the HTF list:
- 20 horses confirmed ✅
- All write-ups complete ✅
- Time to proofread and format it all to make it presentable
- I plan to publish it in the next few days! 🙌👍
Progress report:
- Around 15 horses are confirmed for the list; others are still being researched 📝
- A few write-ups are complete ✅
- Some trainers have generously provided some great insight 🙌
- My excitement for the jumps continues to build!
No bet tomorrow!
That means we finish November on +19.05pts
Total profit since July 1st: +70.02pts
All bets recorded to 1pt win or 0.5pt E/W
I hope you all have a good Sunday evening! 🍻
Doyen Dancer couldn’t make it 2/2 but I’m glad to see so many of you backed Regarding Ruth!
I’m surprised you all still remember me seeing as I didn’t tip for the best part of two months 😂
Your support means the world - thank you 🙌🙌🙌
Great night at the
@HorseraceMedia
awards!
An honour to be nominated for the Emerging Talent award - huge congratulations to
@MeganDentPhoto
for winning & to all the other nominees and winners on the night!
And yes, I’m aware I look a bit worse for wear in this photo… 🍻😅
I’ve got my eye on a couple at Bangor tomorrow 👀
Any selections will be posted in the morning.
In other news, I’m off to watch West Ham for the first time in a couple of years!
Here’s hoping for 3 points tonight and some winners tomorrow 🤞🤞⚒️⚒️
A look at Bryony’s rides for Nicholls & other trainers over the last 7 seasons (UK only):
Number of rides, winners, strike rate, average SP
Nicholls:
2017/18: 88 rides, 26 winners, 30% SR, 6.6/1
2018/19: 71 rides, 18 winners, 25% S/R, 8.7/1
2019/20: 66 rides, 11 winners, 17%
"She doesn’t seem to get too many rides these days, but she’s still riding as good as ever"
Paul Nicholls has queried a perceived lack of opportunities for Bryony Frost this season, stating his belief that “the public like her more than some trainers do”
Winless Ones To Watch - Part 1 - Out now!
Including:
✅ A 95-rated handicapper that will improve for going up in trip
✅ A lightly-raced Paul Nicholls horse to note in novice handicap chases
✅ A Dan Skelton horse with great potential over fences
I’m back with one for tomorrow!
3:15 Warwick - Outonpatrol (HTF) 12/1 EW (4 places with PP/Betfair)
After a hectic last couple of weeks, I should be much more active now - thank you all for your patience!

Ouch.... done by a nose!
Silver Streak has ran an absolute cracker to finish 2nd, maintaining his fantastic record outside of Grade 1 company
He didn’t get the clearest of runs and that might’ve made all the difference
That one might sting for a while!
Here it is, my entry for the final of
#Tipstar2020
!
International Hurdle (3:00) - Silver Streak 7/1
I’m hoping there isn’t too much rain! It doesn’t help when every forecast is different 😅
Best of luck to the other finalists!
@RacingTV
A quiet few days from me on the tipping front.
I was back at work on Monday and the 3-person team I usually work in is currently down to just me... what a fun start to 2021!
I’m working on a few things in the background and I should have some exciting news to share soon! 👀
WOW!
I’d already put Oscar Robertson down as a loser when he tamely lost his position down the back straight, but he’s been galvanised by Jonathan Burke to get up close to home!
He touched 380/1 in running 😳😳
About time we had some luck 😅
Well, we’ve got a decent price about both of these!
Oscar Robertson: 6/1 ➡️ 11/4
Oscarsman: 25/1 ➡️ 7/1
Let’s hope for a change of fortune today, we’re certainly due 🤞
Imagine trying to describe the ground/going description to someone not involved in racing
It’s good to soft officially
But the jockeys said it’s quicker
But the times suggest it’s slower
But this track often rides quicker
And autumn G/S is different to spring G/S
Farcical
Apologies for my recent absence!
A combination of the NH season finishing and recently moving back to London has meant my mind has been very much focused elsewhere recently...
But after a much needed break, it feels like it’s time to start work on the 2021/22 HTF list! 🐎🐎
I do love a bold jumping grey!
Numitor looked like he’d take to fences and he certainly has! Tom Scudamore has done exactly what I hoped he would by making all, just like he did on Cloth Cap!
A tad lucky with the loose horse interfering but all horses seem okay 👍
We’ve had a good couple of days, with two winners and a 2nd from 4 bets!
Let’s keep it up!
One for tomorrow:
1:12 Ffos Las - Numitor 11/2
6s available with Bet365
Write up below! ⬇️⬇️⬇️
Can’t wait to be back at Cheltenham tomorrow!
Here’s a few I like:
12:30 - Magistrato 15/8
1:05 - Opposites Attract 5/1
2:15 - Deyrann De Carjac 33/1 E/W
2:50 - Dragon Bones 4/1
3:25 - Good Time Jonny 9/1 EW
3:55 - Signal Point 12/1 EW (HTF)
Best of luck, all!🍻

Apologies for the lack of selections in recent days!
In all honesty I’ve just been busy with work meaning I haven’t had the time to study sufficiently
The one thing I won’t do is post tips for the sake of it!
Normal service should resume soon 👍
Just over a week to go... time to step things up a notch!
This afternoon is dedicated to finding the Kim Muir winner! (Attempt
#2
- It was meant to be you, Coko 😢)
Updated P/L (since July 1st)
Profit: +83.50pts
ROI: 66%
20% win rate
36% win/place rate
We were +71.36pts (48% ROI) for 19/20 so it’s been a good season thus far. Hopefully the final few weeks are kind to us! 🤞🤞
Just to clarify:
If I do set up a telegram channel, this twitter page will continue as normal!
All selections would be posted on both twitter and telegram!
A few people have asked me to set up a telegram channel for my selections.
Is this something you’d be interested in?
Note: selections and write ups will continue as normal on this page
Will be backing Dalamoi (7/1 E/W, 1:25 Kempton) tomorrow - a horse I’ve been tracking for a while.
Looks & pedigree scream chaser, gone well fresh previously & his second Ffos Las run reads very well. Improvement to come for a yard with a decent record with chase debutants 🤞
By far the worst day I’ve ever had at Cheltenham.
Envoi falling let me down for four figures from £16 (thank God he was okay)
Add to that TBO at 25s, Fury Road at 20s, Huntsman Son at 40s finishing one out of the places and Plan of Attack falling when cantering.... bloodbath
Delighted to announce that I am now writing for

#Cheltenham
In all likelihood, there won’t be any tips tomorrow/Friday.
I’m currently away and I won’t have the necessary time to study up as I usually would.
The NH season is starting to hot up so there will be plenty of cards to dive into soon!
Have a good night all 🍻🍻
Delighted and honoured to be nominated for the
@HorseraceMedia
Emerging Talent Award!
It’s been an incredible past couple of years - thank you all for your support! It truly does mean a lot.
Congratulations to all of the other nominees 🙌
Oh Pedro... so close yet so far!
Livelovelaugh has dominated that race but Pink Eyed Pedro has run a stormer to finish second under a more patient ride!
Duhallow Lad wins easily!
There will be a significant R4 for those that backed him last night - I’ll check that shortly.
I was pretty confident once Diamond Brig was made a NR as he was the only one I saw as a danger.
Nice winner to add to the place earlier in the day 👍
27 years of age…
Bloody hell.
Another year closer to losing my 18-28 Cheltenham membership 😅
On the plus side, West Ham are top of the league (and champions of Europe)

Well, the race rather fell apart but ZANZA has won that easily in the end!
Widely available at 7s when I posted this video (365 were 10s so I hope a few of you managed to get that!)

🐴 CHELTENHAM FESTIVAL 2021 🐴
⭕️ Boodles Hurdle
@OverandClear
gives us his final preview for Cheltenham Festival 🏆
He previews the likely runners, plus gives us his big race verdict on an each-way punt he's keen to take! ✅
Preview here ⬇️
🗣 "I think Ballyburn would win either race, but I have more reason to take him on in the Supreme, so I would run him in the Baring Bingham"
🗣 "There seems to be the potential for more to go wrong in a Supreme"
Which race should Ballyburn run in at the Cheltenham Festival?👇
A couple for Chepstow tomorrow:
2:25 - The Mighty Don 12/1 E/W (4 places)
3:30 - Orbys Legend 10/1 E/W (5 places)
Both will be recorded to a 1pt total stake as usual.
One at Hexham likely to follow.
Explanations below! ⬇️⬇️⬇️
Never take gambling advice/tips from someone that:
1. Only ever backs short priced favourites
2. Always has an overly strong view on the big races; they’re either attention seeking or naive
3. Has an excuse for every defeat. Even the best get it wrong at times - own up to it
Happy New Year, one and all! 🎉
I’m extremely grateful to have made some unbelievable friends & for all of the opportunities this wonderfully wacky world of racing has presented me with this year!
Here’s to a great 2024! 🙌
Eyeing up one for tomorrow at Market Rasen.
The price has been quite volatile since Hills first priced the race up so I’m letting the market settle down before putting it up.
It may well be posted tomorrow to ensure as many as possible can get BOG 👍
One for tomorrow:
1:37 Hereford - Numitor 16/1 E/W
After a few days away from twitter and racing in general, I feel really refreshed and excited to get back into it!
Thanks again for all of your supportive messages!
Write up below ⬇️⬇️⬇️
Tipping will resume again soon! 👀
For those interested, I have set up a new Telegram channel! See the link below ⬇️⬇️⬇️
Tips will also be posted on Twitter, just as they were last year!
Can’t wait to get started 👊👊
Merry Christmas, one and all!
A busy day ahead tomorrow:
Russian Ruler (12:45) and Giovinco (1:20) at Kempton + Hewick to outrun his odds in the King George.
O’Connell & Borodale in the last two at Market Rasen.
Cherie D’Am the NAP in the first at Aintree.
High Stakes to top
🐴 CHELTENHAM FESTIVAL 2021 🐴
We've signed
@OverandClear
to bring us a preview for EVERY race at this year's Festival ✅
Today he's previewed the RYANAIR CHASE 🏆
Take a look at our preview and see who gets the verdict 👇
First time in a long time that I’ve been frustrated by the performance of my selections, but it’s important to look at the bigger picture....
We’re still 6.5pts up in October and 54.78pts up since July 1st
Time to dust myself off and get back to looking at Newton Abbot 😅
Emmet Mullins on The Shunter (via Nick Luck Daily Podcast)
“We’ll be declaring him for the Coral Cup and the Plate, but he looks like he has a nicer mark for the Coral Cup”
“He’s probably a better hurdler than he is a chaser”
Nice run from Alvarado in 3rd there - what a horse he’s been for
@FOBRacing
over the years! He’s such a likeable horse and he’s always the one staying on at the finish! It’s fantastic to see that he’s still enthusiastic about the game!
Cheltenham - Day 1 Selections!
Tuesday has a rather strange look to it - there will be better betting races throughout the week so keep it sensible and enjoy!
Check out the link below for my thoughts! ⬇️⬇️⬇️
Not to scare the West Cork backers who are celebrating his generous 5lb drop in the weights…
But he’s currently not entered in the County (Faivoir, Pembroke & Playful Saint are all entered as things stand)
The deadline is 12pm so plenty of time… just thought I’d warn you! 😬
I can only apologise for what has been, quite frankly, an embarrassing and pathetic run of form.
Absolutely no excuses - it just hasn’t been good enough from me.
I’ll keep plugging away. The tide will turn eventually and I appreciate the patience of those that do follow.
Aintree tomorrow looks a particularly difficult betting card.
How bad will the ground be? It was brutal back in December when the going stick readings were 2.4/2.5, and the latest readings are 2.8-3.1
Plenty arriving after tough races at Cheltenham on deep ground.
Tricky!
I Like To Move It vs Chasing Fire vs Pembroke
Two-mile novice chase at Uttoxeter on Sunday!
Small field, but three interesting novice chasers for the season ahead.
BROADWAY BOY!
Words cannot describe how much I love you.
The fact he’s won that despite three consecutive errors at a crucial time is a testament to his ability and attitude.
What an absolute star! 🙌
