Hello All
Well, I best say Good Luck to Stick and Squire - what an appropriate way to boost the War Chest for the next few days.
Speaking of which, a couple of interest early doors at Taunton.
I really like Georgina Joy in the 2.10, basically on last time out C&D performance, let's see.
I'm also very interested in one in the 2.40 - Sandro Botticelli
Won the Esher, no less, in 2016 on Soft going with Dettori on board; recent runs AW only, so returning to a more appropriate surface (?) today and with a decent steerer, you'd have to say "Interesting!" ( Will probably come last now ).

Good luck all who plat today, hope you boost the account to allow some free and easy bets for the Festival, let's see how it goes. :emoticon-0148-yes:

( Do you think it would be appropriate for me to ask a question, on this conf call about Cloud services, can Alexa pick the winner of the first at Cheltenham ? )
 
I'm off to see The Squire tonight, so bollocks to Cheltenham, I've been trying to make sense of sand-rat racing!

My conclusions are:

5.45 Squire of course. Last night I was favouring the bottom weight Naralsaif, but the bitch has been scratched, so come on Squire!!
6.15 Shuhood shuhood win this. Although Artieshaw won easily with the selection 5 lengths back lto, an 18lb turn around shuhood make a difference :)
6.45 I'm going for Towerlands Park. After his last run I maligned Martin Harley for reining him in at the start, but after a re-watch, decided the horse may have played a part. Recovery time.
7.15 Trickiest race on the card. Johnston is bringing 3 tonight and I like his Rainbow Rebel in this one, but very wary of Nonios, and very VERY wary of Captain Pugwash, who is becoming a bit of a Chelmer specialist.
7.45 Stone Of Destiny - no bet
8.15 Fav is Napping, who was caught napping lto and now sports cheeky bits to wake him up a bit, but I like Billyoakes who's last visit here is recorded thus: "Pitched and stumbled start, behind, headway and in touch halfway, chasing leading pair when not clear run from over 1f out, snatched up inside final furlong, ran on, not recover"
8.45 If Billy wins the 8.15, it is a massive pointer to Krazy Paving in the lucky last, who was 3/4 length behind Billy, in receipt of 12lb lto. Firesnake for the forecast!

Good luck all, and especially the Squire team <ok>

See you at the gate at 5pm!
 
Some of yesterdays left over Roast Pork, pan fried, in a warm seeded barm with sage & onion stuffing, then a Double chocolate muffin and a good cup of tea - 9/10
It was the crackling that tipped it up to a 9 out of 10...

Now to check over my selections for the week hoping that ive through the right arrows at the right runners...
