kempton,1 55:

although CHILLI FILLI is burdened with an 11 lbr hike for her ludlow romp a few weeks ago,its very possible,that it wont be enough to prevent a follow up,given how easily she won that day.could be a lot more to come from this lightly raced filly..
 
Superstar, nothing will touch him in March, he could race with a fridge tied to his back and still win.

well,the two big ones are coming soon,so heres my verdict:

chepstow,2 50: WELSH GRAND NATIONAL

difficult decision for me,as i like both old RAZ DE MAREE and the tough mare jennys surprise.both ideally like it bottomless,but i still believe,that the former will go well again,after his victory here 12 months ago.his heavy defeats since shouldnt be viewed too harshly,as he didnt have his ideal conditions so far,but still well treated to stay on,when others have cried enough today..definite e w value..

leopardstown,3 00: PADDY POWER CHASE

DE NAME ESCAPES ME won very cheekily last time out,and it could have been easily more than half a length to the second,solomn grundy,so,although around 7-1 is pretty short in such a competitive event,he should be bang there here..
 
Welsh National doesn’t look a vintage renewal with very few progressive sorts in the field.

My two against the field are Elegant Escape and Ramses De Teillee. Hardly groundbreaking selections!!

Take a bow NassauBoard, superb , hope you did the fc !!
 
Just win and EW on the second. Nice enough returns really!!
good call,mate!wd.but my choice RAZ DE MAREE ran his usual brave race and was a staying on 5th in the end..

chepstow,3 25:

PRIME VENTUREs latest second to ramses de teilliee in a trial here looks much better now,after the gallant second placing of the pipe horse in the main event..thats the best piece of form for me here..
 
Two bets today for me today:

Welsh National - Folsom Blue 8/1 each way 7 places

Kempton 3.05pm - Just a sting 10/3. (With Pilgrim on this one)..don't know if that's good or bad.:emoticon-0143-smirk

Good luck all...

Well, sometimes good and sometimes bad. In the last days I have put here winners like Tidal Flow 8/1 and Ask the Weatherman 11/1. In Cheltenham 2018 for example,

Waiting a long time for Bunrning Ambition and ...

16,50 Despite carrying the top weight Blow By Blow 14/1 I think he has a great chance. Winner of Bumper Gr.1 if he comes in the form he exhibited less than a month ago I think he is above all.

In addition to being the winner of the contest against Fatjockey.

At Ascot Festival I think I was the one who put the winner with the highest odds of the week

I like Settle For Bay 16/1 for Royal Hunt Cup.

Well... good days and bad days, like all members.

Not too bad Pilgrim ...I was looking at it more from your point of view really...lol. I think my last 4 posts have yielded three places out of 8 bets so on a bit of a barren run at present....

Superb stuff Nass. As Boston Bob used to say „Beach balls“ <applause>

Bollocks to groundbreaking mate, this was simply spot on <ok>

I’m wondering what to make of Footpad’s defeat. So many Mullins horses seem to be running well below their form. Take nothing away from Simply Ned but Footpad had put the race to bed at the last. Did he idle? Was he lacking fitness? Was Ruby at fault? Or is he just not as good as we thought? Very hard to imagine Footpad (or anything else for that matter) getting close to Altior in March.

I think there’s something going wrong with Mullins yard at the minute and horses aren’t winning when they should. Not looked at the numbers on this though.
