Cleeve Racing claim to have achieved 14 profitable seasons in a row, including National Hunt and Flat racing.
At the time of our review, the results for this horse tipping service showed a profit of 426.65 points since Nov 2014. The 2017/18 flat season alone showed a profit of more than 63 points.
The Cleeve Racing team focus on analysing Class 2 races and above using 12 different form components to produce a rating for each runner. Once they have picked out the top rated runners, they analyse the race conditions and the prices of the selections to identify value bets.
For our review, we followed Cleeve Racing selections for three months and banked 56.94 points profit at 30.9% ROI. This grew our starting bank by 142%. The tips were even more profitable at BSP as you will see further down the page.
However, when we came to do an update of the review a couple of years later, we found the results had stagnated. The profit was still sitting at around the same level, likely causing frustration to long-term members.
We decided to downgrade our rating to Neutral, in hope that the service would get back to their winning ways soon. We planned to monitor results to see whether we would need to adjust our rating again in the future.

Month One Update
We had a terrific start to our Cleeve Racing review with 27.63 points profit banked at 41.9% ROI.
The Cheltenham meeting turned out to be fruitful for the service with a profit of 14.55 points made, but we were already comfortably ahead before the festival started.
Based on the advised 40 point bank, we had already seen an increase of just under 70%. Even better than that though, recording results at Betfair SP had doubled our bank!

We found Cleeve Racing to be very professional with in-depth race analysis, not just for the races that have advised tips, but also for other notable races that have ended up being a "no bet".
The tips are posted to a private member's area each day, but there is also an email sent out to notify when they are ready.
Example of Race Analysis
1.50 York 5f Matchbook Betting Exchange Handicap (Class 2) (4yo+ 0-105)
Selections:
Copper Knight 1 point each way at 14/1 BOG Betvictor
Cleeve Top 4 Rated:
1) Copper Knight – 185
2) Eeh Bah Gum – 172
3) Abel Handy – 170
4) Cowboy Soldier – 160
4) Foolaad – 160
Eeh Bah Gum and Foolaad are below this level and will struggle from their marks to run into a place. Both need to drop into a lower class or at least a less competitive handicap before winning again.
Abel Handy won a Group 3 as a two-year-old but has failed to follow up on that early promise. He did run well at Musselburgh in a Class 4, but this is a completely different level and I think he will struggle to challenge.
Cowboy Soldier has been running well at a decent level, but his best winning form is on all-weather tracks. This would be a career-best if he wins, but I do think he will have to settle for a place.
Copper Knight has been a winner over course and distance and that was in a big field. The stable is not in great form, but Copper Knight has been running well regardless. I do think Copper Knight can win this and his price looks slightly bigger than expected.
Copper Knight went on to win the race, giving us a profit of 13.2 points.

Hi, just had a question around the profit made on these using BSP prices as I’m keen to find more services that use BSP and this looks a contender.
A number of the selections put forward by Cleeve are EW and often suggest particular bookmakers that have an extra place; for example the Cleeve tip for Give Me A Copper at 15:35 at Sandown on 27th April 2019 suggested a couple of bookies offering 5 places. I’ve often found Betfair Exchange to offer less places, in this race it was likely to be 3 or 4. The horse came in 4th so was an EW win had you gone with the bookie, but potentially a loss at BSP on the Betfair Exchange due to less places.
I just wondered how this was handled in your paper trading? Did you always opt for a bookie offering the same number of places as Betfair Exhange?
Thanks,
JP
Hi Jon, There are extra place markets available on Betfair for the majority of races, but I believe Betfair paid out 4 places here.
So there are! I’d never even noticed that before, thank you!
