Introduction
Cleeve Racing is a horse racing tipping service that claims to have had 17 profitable seasons in a row since 2011 to date of this review. They also won best tipping service newcomer in February 2020 so I was eager to get started with this highly recommended tipster.
Selections are emailed daily with full reasoning behind each pick and specific staking advice.
The tips have average odds of 6.00 - 10.00.
I will be following this service for the next 3 months with my usual £1000 starting bank and £10 per point stake.
Results
A great start for my Cleeve Racing review banking 9.83 points during week 1.

Review Conclusion
After hearing there was a new recommended tipster joining this service I had high expectations. I got off to a good start but sadly it went down hill from there and I had just 4 out of 12 profitable weeks.
Sadly due to the overall loss of 41.5 points I will not be recommending this service.
