Starting 1st September 2026, we are going to simplify our presentation and ask Archimedes the Arthritic Intelligence machine to make six selections based on its vast knowledge of the interweb, water polo, racing, and the mysteries of organised religion. We wish humanity well.

The rest of the ratings are based on a mix of various data points, and their performance and/or reliability can be seen in the accompanying stats. Of course they won’t all win or be placed - but at least you have a fighting chance of narrowing the search for your holiday money.


Yesterday’s results:

  • Qitaal — Newcastle 14:17 · won at 9/4F

  • Dark Issue (IRE) — Salisbury 16:14 · 2nd of 11 at 6/1

  • Kaleido — Southwell 19:10 · 3rd of 9 at 8/1

  • Lawmans Blis (IRE) — Newcastle 13:42 · 3rd of 9 at 5/1 (below-5/1 win-only, no return)

  • Chale Chalo (IRE) — Southwell 19:40 · 6th of 9 at 7/1

  • Daisy Roots — Lingfield 18:00 · 5th of 10 at 10/1

Running total for Today’s Selections (from 1 September 2026):

  • Yesterday: 6R - 1W - 2P - P&L: -0.40pts

  • Since 1 Sept: 18R - 3W - 2P - P&L: -10.19pts
