Good Luck

 

So, is there a Cheltenham Festival winner appearing on the Wolverhampton card?

 

WHATZDJAZZ 7/2 Fakenham 4:35
Really well bred to be a bumper winner being a half sister to Klepht and Welsh Shadow. The jolly sets a good standard but the Skelton boys can produce them ready to win on debut so this fella gets the vote.

 

Dont know but there is a Cheltenham winning jockey at Dundalk.

 

Popelys Gull - pam slys hurdler gets a longer trip on this tight circuit , her home track -- looks primed to me , backed into 6/1 Fakenham 3 35

 

Josephine Gordon and P McEntee going to Dundalk with Gentleman in the 8pm race. Interesting raider and should definitely win, Josephine's only ride of the day. 6/1

 

I presume you mean the 'Good' Doctor's runner Stick??

 

But a more pressing question is will he win tonight?!?

 

Report is that he will be trying but is a little "rusty".

 

That's a very diplomatic answer, old boy. Surprised you didn't add the words, 'nudge, nudge, wink, wink, say no more...'

 

Very keen to see, with an eye to next month, how the Vosne one gets on, this evening, at Wolverhampton. The other pair that catch my eye are:

BARNEY FROM TYANEE (3.35 Fakenham) - isn’t named after me but he is from the county and rather let the old ‘set’ down somewhat last time as he just failed by half a length to oblige at Lingers Park. He’s up 3 lbs for that effort but the Cobden boy takes over, from the amateur on board that day, and it should be a case of returning previous losses, with interest, this afternoon.

Meanwhile, at Wolverhampton SCHOOL RUN (7.15) looks very nicely perched on 62 for her handicap bow. Adam Kirby has been booked and she looks the type that David O’Meara could run up a sequence with.

Good luck all.

 

His one last night did

 

Morning all
Falkenham
405 carlton ryan 9/2 2pts win
Sandown
140 master vintage 6/1 2pts win
210 dream bolt 9/2 2pts win
315 rathlin rose 2/1 4pts win
240 ms parfois got 22s but putting 20s up as thats available online . This is a 5 horse race but it can go 1 of 2 ways the fav colins sister is evens and watching both of them run over at Warwick there really isnt much between them so just the 1pt win on the rank outsider as there really is no ew value there for me in this race even at the big price.
Good luck all who play

 

How long before the first at Fakenham?

 

Almost exactly 2-hours from now.......................

 

Thanks Swanny. The early tote odds on the race are strange.

 

...........but they do change very very quickly, they'll probably be somewhere near the SP's at the off.

 

I'm going to go out on a very shaky limb here Swanny, and say that Great Link is going to put in a big one. Smoke, fire and all that stuff.

 

My goodness, Cyc, Great Link came from another county to finish third. Can't race that far behind on this exceptionally tight little track. Good try though!

 

Needs 15 miles me thinks Swanny
