Another Handicap idea

[FleetFanatic]

Avoid the topweights unless they have weight ex.
Then select from;
next 4 in weights up to 12 runners
next 5 in weights up to 16 runners
next 6 in weights over 16 runners
Only horses that have won a race or placed at least twice in last 3 outings.

Well I've made a long 'short-list'

Races with only 1 qualifier;

4.40 SALISBURY Red Spell
5.10 SALISBURY Whitsbury Cross
6.40 BATH Joey Perhaps
6.50 NAAS Fontanally Springs
8.05 EPSOM Anuvasteel
9.05 EPSOM Dart Along
9.15 BATH Linda Green

Maybe's depending on non-runners and some other eliminations;

3.10 SALISBURY Kingdom of Dreams / Bay Story / Silent Jo
3.20 CARLISLE Top Dirham / Takes Tutu
3.50 CARLISLE Sporting Gesture / Tedstale / The Violin Player
4.00 WORCESTER Global Challenge / Ballycassidy / Earlsfield Raider
4.20 CARLISLE Graceful Air / Gallery Breeze
4.30 WORCESTER Rudetski / Celebration Town
4.50 CARLISLE Folga / Why Now
7.30 EPSOM Habanero / Juste Pour L'Amour
8.15 BATH The Gaikwar / Beauty of Dreams
8.25 NAAS Recite / Charismatic Cat / Georgina / Aunty Euro
8.35 EPSOM Serre Chevalier / Flint River / Desert Dreamer

Now for narrowing down....

.....perhaps I should stick to those with only 1 qualifier - job done then?

7 x 10 pts WIN singles

If any others races have non-runners that reduce the number of qualifiers to 1,
then take them as added to this list.

Early days but a bit of a wipeout.
Still, 1 winner reclaimed just over half of the stakes.

Fingers burnt, I'm gonna leave this one for now & give time for reflection.
