So with that in mind Sir Bumper king who’s your fancy- I do like Danny Kirwan howver the Nicholls Horses with the exception of Politilogue are running like dog ****!
Dead right Woolly, recent winners include Ballyandy, Barters Hill, Definitely Red, Shutthefrontdoor, Al Ferof.... There are some class animals in here and all the top yards are involved but the one jumping out at me is BREWIN'UPASTORM. I am surprised it is in a bumper though as I was expecting a hurdling debut about now before going for a Festival hurdle!
3 runners in the Denman Chase, 3 in the Game Spirit and 4 in the Kingmaker - makes you wonder why they ****ing bother
If there is a Saturday comp tomoz these are my hopefuls Newbury 1.50 Talkischeap 2.25 Native River NAP 3.00 Politilogue 3.35 Irish Roe Warwick 2.05 Midnight Jazz 2.40 Drumcliff Not for comp - 3.15 Value At Risk and Moon Racer ew in Nby's 3.35 I'm liking Irish Roe a lot but it is such a competitive event, even the 10-1 on offer seems stingy! Good luck all
Betfair Hurdle looks an absolute minefield as usual. My 2 against the field Nietzsche @ a whopping 40/1 and Silver Streak @ 16/1 both ew. It's a lottery but I just feel both of these are well handicapped. Interestingly Ellison legs up Danny Cook on Nietzsche for the first time since his festival run. He fought the jockey for the first 3 furlongs lto and then made a bad mistake when looking a threat at the second last. Maybe Danny Cook can get him settled better and save a bit for the business end. Silver Streak only had the plotted up winner in front of him in the same race lto. Good luck all.
What a day for sport tomorrow - first up its Super Saturday but disappointing to see only 3 runners in two of the big races of the day...I mean come on!! where are all the horses? It is a bit of a sad state of affairs to be honest.... However, looking forward to seeing how Native River fares tomorrow, North Hill Harvey v Saint Calvados and Altior taking on Politologue..then off to the pub to get ready for the big rugby match . Will catch up on those races I dont see on Sunday I expect... Not sure yet if betting tomorrow at this time.......
3.35 Newbury- Couer Blimey - 25/1 ew He is about a stone better than his handicap mark im sure of it howver 2 negatives about him is a) he can’t jump and b) his jockey can’t ride 2m hurdle races. However he ran pretty well in the lanzarote which is a red hot race by The form that has already been franked and I don’t think his jumping will be too much of an issue in terms of him being able to get away with clobbering them. He will settle just off the pace, in wich there will be plenty as it is full of front runners. It will be able to as I heard on a commentary give Lucy a chance to cuddle him in to the race and take it up. He has the cheek pieces on to for the first time which will sharp him up and at this prIce I am happy to give this talented rogue another chance
The horse can’t jump and she can’t ride, other than that has a great chance I love HIGH BRIDGE, never out of the places. 20/1 and many firms going six places! If he were to win this off this mark you would surely be thinking, why isn’t he in the Champion Hurdle. A couple of places sure look up for grabs.
Morning 1.15 Newbury...without Whatswrongwithyou Air Navigator @ 11-8 [Skybet] Looking forward to his hurdle career

Same sires odddy and wouldnt be at all surprised if they dont fight out the finish. Acey has the form in the book whereas my choice is all about the potential.
It really is a lovely race isn't it? I just hope my RUK stream doesn't let me down ....................... is there any other sport which makes it so difficult to watch?
