Good Luck

 

Now 14/1 with Boyle (5 places 1/5) and 888sport (4 places 1/4). Others 11/1-12/1 (4-5 places 1/5 and 1/4).

 

Bobo Mac for me in the long slog , has big pull with fav in weights from lto , 16/1

 

It is all about McFabulous for me tomorrow, with 11/8 and 13/8 taken. I was so impressed by him in that stayers race, but it was clear that he didn't see the race out, and this intermediate trip is perfect. He has nothing of the class of Thyme Hill and Paisley Park to beat here and I think he is a proper horse.

In the Conti chase I have to be against Imperial Aura at the prices. He is a talented horse, potentially the best in this race, but the price is all wrong. I think he is up against two rivals here that are very interesting at the prices in Master Tommytucker (who I thought ran a brilliant race at Cheltenham despite hitting a few) and Riders Onthestorm who last season looked a horse going places. Given the jolly is 4/5, I am happy to have those two against him at 4s and 5s.

Interestingly the official handicap has IA just 3lb clear of Riders and 8lbs clear of Master (giving him 6lbs). It looks much tighter than the market suggests.

 

Not racing related, but bet of the year today. The mighty Grecians to shoot down the Owls

 

Erick le rouge fav at 110 kempton with evander 2nd fav

And over at wincanton 235 evander fav with erick le rouge 11s

 

3 each way singles and a little ew treble for me today.
1.45 Kemp Minellacelebration
3.10 Chep Lord Du Mesnil
3.30 Kemp Hunters Call
FA Cup 3rd round day used to special but it’s lost it’s shine a little bit, but hopefully there are some giant killings and some exciting games over the weekend.
Have a great day gents, all the best with your bets

 

There’s a handful of races I have never picked the winner of, and the Welsh National is one of them. It’s a list that also includes all handicaps at Royal Ascot, but this is harder.

I have a feeling the Venetia Williams trained Cloudy Glen will surprise a few people; although it wouldn’t actually surprise me if he finished 40 lengths behind the winner. So not a confident bet then. Did me a favour at Fontwell though, so wtf?

 

Exciting stuff....

 

I see some games are on FA player which you can download.. I shall be watching a couple of games over weekend on there.. not used the platform before..

 

Me neither Pops, worth a watch mate

 

agree , watching without fans is like sex with a doll , functional but of no enjoyment .

 

I trust your knowledge on that

 

thought i’d use an analogy that some could relate to

 

Morning all..brilliant that all 3 itv televised meets are on. Bets for today:

Kempton 1.45pm Coo star sivola 13/2 each way 4 places
Is now 5lbs lower than when winning the Ultima at the festival and I thought he travelled with plenty of zest over the Aintree fences. Richard Johnson booked so a big run is expected.
Chepstow 3.10pm The two amigos 11/1 each way 6 places
Ran a great race in this last season and chances are he will handle the gluey tacky ground which so many won't.
Kempton 3.30pm Misty Whisky 12/1 each way 5 places
Harry Fry is on form and this one seeks in at the bottom with jockey taking off another handy 3lbs. She has done well since her wind op and will do for me.

Good luck all!

 

Not the same at all but although it can be boring at least it's better than watching all the other ****e on TV. Mind you Oddy, when I put my post up I didn't realise the Owls will have a youthful team out today because of an outbreak in your camp but still they don't have a particularly good record down here.

 

Onto the horses I reckon Paul Nicholls will have about 8 winners or so today so will have to try and pick which ones they are and a few others I fancy are:

3.57 Kem BREFFNIBOY
15.50 Chep EXPLOITEUR
2.35 Win EVANDER
11.30 Ling SUBLIMINAL
