Putting this one up early, I thought the price was too big.

3:03 File Illico @10s

Won a point and has shown enough in all three hurdles starts to suggest that his mark isn’t too much of an issue. He looks to me to be one they’ve been plotting up and last time out he was weak in the market and looked like he needed to run.

The better ground should suit and top weight in a 0-110 looks ideal where he could outclass this field.


Travelled nicely but made a mistake at key point and didn’t have enough to finish strongly. One stick mentioned was an eyecatcher and probably should have gone even closer.

I thought the winner was a worthy winner. Travelled well all the way through despite being hampered on more than one occasion. I looked at Stick's selection and would have went for it if had a decent jockey on it's back. Thankfully, I changed my mind <whistle>

I thought GETTHEPOT was an unlucky loser. Door slammed shut when going for a gap after two out and had to switch a long way round to get a clear run. The horse was being ridden for a long way but responded pretty well. Poor race.
 
On that race, is there a syndicate that does worse for the investment over jumps as the Highclere syndicates?
 
Nothing really interests me too much today so I've just gone for two mug trebles...

3:10 Kelso - Word Has It - 4/9; I can't really see anything in the field beating it if it handles the ground although some of these may improve with good ground too...

3:18 Plumpton - Eaglehill - 10/11; Up 7lbs from the last race but seemed like he had at least that much in hand in his last race... Came 2nd on Good/Soft in a hurdles race before, was pulled up over fences 2nd last time out and I'm hoping that was due to him not liking Heavy going.. He could improve again for good ground.. Not hugely confident about this as I think the Moore's horse could run well if it jumps around well. Tribesmans Glory is another danger, again, needs to improve it's jumping to get a clear run around but is quite interesting with a 10lb claimer on his back in this small field...

4:10 Kelso - Schiehallion Munro - 4/1; Seems like he might enjoy the good ground from his 2 efforts of decent ground. Did finish 2nd in his last race but at least 10 lengths off the leader, that leader ran to about 150's on ratings and followed up with another 150ish run. I can't see either of two favourites running to this mark and my worry would be if Guitar Pete can find form that it hasn't found in about 2 years...

Treble works out around 12/1 with another treble with Schiehallion Munro just to place at around 7/2...

Managed to talk myself into a reverse f/c with Eaglehill and Tribesmans Glory in Plumpton while writing this, probably a silly bet but gives me a bit more enjoyment watching it too...

Come on Schiehallion! First time in ages I'll ever be roaring at a horse in Kelso :emoticon-0184-tmi:
 
Very unlucky there mate. Hit 1/200 in running with Bet365 as i was watching the race. Place paid for you though so still a result. Well done

Yeah, ran them all ragged except for Court Master, thought Brendan Powell did very well to get up in the last 100 or so yards... Got my excitement fix for today with an ok profit... Enjoyable day again and it's good to be back enjoying horse racing again after falling out of love with it for a while...
