Good Luck

 

Some very interesting British horses over in Ireland today but am liking the look of ACEY MILAN. Running off a mark of 125 he has shown so much potential but hasn’t pulled it off yet. For what he did in bumpers he could be absolutely thrown in over this distance and I’ve read comments saying that the Anthony Honeyball saying that he is a 3miler through and through he is a decent price too

 

Defi Du Seuil wins simple as that!!

 

Can’t have him whatsoever going from a Beginners chase to this against the best novice chaser this season. His JLT form is Rock solid just can’t see him getting beat

 

Morning

Two each way plays for Southwell with Skybet

4.10-Thunder Buddy @ 12-1
4.45-Crazy Spin @ 20-1

 

I beg to differ ornua gets my vote if it’s jumping stands up ew for safety.

 

I love Punchestown racing, but as for finding a winner it is oh so difficult. I will stick to UK racing as at least I do sometimes manage a 'Blue Moon' winner!

 

Afternoon gents.

Firstly, a timely mention for Messis free kick last night. Right out of the very topest drawer that was. Still think Ajax Barca final, and what a game that could be!!

Today's loose change e/w treble is going on Michael Madgwicks 3 at Salisbury.

Good luck folks.

 

From the film - Charge of the light brigade - Twentysvrnthlancers in the next for me.

Charge!!!!

 

Misses the start.. haha

 

How did we miss this one... The 2:15 - The Boogie In The Morning Handicap, won by Jazz Hands @ 6/1

 

Another one that made me laugh today... The 3:50 - Every Race Live On Racing TV Handicap (Div 1), won by Colour Contrast 6/1

 

In the 5.55 Salisbury Richard Hannon's Alhakmah is all the rage at about evens. She started her career promisingly before being turned over at 4/7 Fav next time. An expensive purchase at 420,000 Guineas she can be expexted to progress a fair bit and main opponent in the betting, John Gosden's She's Got You has to concede 7 lbs. I went for the bargain basement buy Hotsy Totsy, who only cost five grand. She started out OK at Newbury and may run better than her odds of 11/1. Rather than wade in heavy on the favourite, I had a wee each-way on Hotsy Totsy. Hopefully she can make the three.

Sal 5.55 Hotsy Totsy 11/1

 

In the 7.25 Chelmsford Red Impression is a warm favourite and interesting. She looked good when winning her second race and looks to have scope. That form is decent but yet again Roger Charlton has picked a lesser starting point than one might imagine for his better looking 3YO's the stable is 0/20 at the moment and promising filly Fashion's Star stank the place out at Ascot yesterday.

Red Impression's promise is respected but confidence is tempered by the stable achievements this season to date. I thought Royal Intervention looked a solid alternative, having made a decent start at 2YO and she could progress this year. The stable is in fair form and she could be the one to capitalise if the Charlton filly fails to fire.

7.25 Chelmsford Royal Intervention 4/1

 

Great shout

 

excellent pick grendel , how wrong was the market , again
never ceases to amaze , the markets in these maidens , all on big yards and the hot air that flows from their connections ! still better for the value seekers , got 16s , cheers

 

Backed the Varian horse in this but only because I have been told to. They gave us the nod the last day when it won and they are confident of a place tonight.
Good luck with yours.

 

I'm sure Harry Fry will be hitting the Guinness hard tonight if anything goes by his celebrations winning the stayers hurdle, good man Harry!
