Good Luck

 

2.10 County Hurdle.
Stolen Silver @ 20/1.
Ran a good second to Chantry House before beating Edwardstone at Haydock.
Then contested the Betfair Hurdle at Newbury but was slowly away and last with two to jump. Passed fifteen horses to finish about 5 lengths down in 8th place.
The fierce gallop and testing track should really suit , but I can’t see his price lasting.

 

I think Front View has been a JP plot job for some time and can take the Martin Pipe for last years young victors JOB & John Joe O' Neill Jnr. Best price 6/1 now can see this one going off 7/2 or shorter.

 

I have for Friday:

Triumph: Sir Psycho 12/1 win only (Gin On Lime 25/1 e/w NR)

County: Mohaayed 40/1 e/w

Albert Bartlett: Janidil 33/1 e/w

Gold Cup: Bristol De Mai 40/1 e/w (Tout Est Permis 40/1 e/w NR)

Foxhunters: Law Of Gold 33/1 e/w (Caryto Des Brosses 16/1 e/w NR)

Grand Annual: Croco Bay 50/1 e/w

Martin Pipe: Five O’Clock 16/1 e/w (Conflated 25/1 e/w NR)

 

Goshen (its a machine)
Stolen Silver
Thyme Hill
ABP
Minella Rocco
Lisp
Front View

 

Any thoughts on the evening racing appreciated also

 

Easy **** off

 

Wrong forum muppet.

 

Minella Rocco should win the fox hunter but the horse that’s impressed me on the pointing field this year is Southfield theatre for the bradstocks.

 

You Raised Me Up - 25/1 (5places) Cheltenham 2.10

I feel this horse is extremely well handicapped for this race, he has some very nice form in the book, behind and in front of the likes of Thosedaysaregone, Conflated, Cedarwood Road, Sempo and Six Shooter. Martin Brassil is no stranger to being able to ready one for a big race either and I'm a bit surprised the horse is available at such odds, to be honest I was expecting around the 8/1 - 12/1 range which makes the 25/1 too good to ignore him here and he's a solid each way bet for me in this. With a little luck he will cross the line in front.

Latest Exhibition 9/2 - Cheltenham 2.50

Hard to get away from the Paul Nolan runner here, the extra distance is going to suit and the more I looked into the race to take him on, the more I kept finding no reason to, so he gets a confident vote to land this race. There's a big bonus in line for stable staff should he win also, and being local to his stables, I would know some of his staff well, so here's hoping they land the spoils today.

Presenting Percy 12/1- Cheltenham 3.30

Coming in a little more under the radar this season but I was reasonably satisfied with what I saw of his two most recent starts, he travelled really well into contention both times and was found out over the bare 3 miles against horses with ever so slightly more finishing power over the trip. The extra 2 furlongs here will hopefully allow him to actually reach the leaders today and I feel once he gets to the front he will keep on and be involved in a close finish. Worth the risk at 12/1 I feel.

Have a god last day of Cheltenham 2020 people, stay safe.

 

Just 2 fancies
CDO ew in the Gold Cup, classy horse and hopeful he will come up the hill stronger this year
Grand Annual should be a walk in the park for the class horse Greaneteen 4/1 is a fair price

 

1.30 Goshen
2.10 Mohaayed
3.30 Delta Work
5.30 Front View
My Yankee. Bloody easy this game
Good luck all.

 

A few people fancy Mohaayid. I backed him last year he won at 33s after he nad a goodru behind the champ BVD . Since that win he has regressed a lot it seems. Maybe the time of year and the course will get him going.
