Morning one, morning all I like a veritable plethora of runners today, with two running at glorious Dunstall Park this late afternoon including my unusual place only nap. Firstly lets pop over the obstacles at Leicester In the two thirty (cue dentist jokes) I really like Rory Boy to upset the odds, he is a fair horse who was in good form before being outclassed at HQ last time out. He returns to an easier race here and I think he can be very competitive at a double figure price. I think its a relatively weak race with the two at the top of the weights (Appleaday and Cootehill) posing most danger to the selection. Appleaday is favourite of mine, but I prefer him when he is at Sandown Park (he jumps the railway fences brilliantly in the main) and I think Cootehill is one that you have to take on at shortish prices. I have also backed Danbo's friend, Kings Grey, who is a horse I have been following since his bumper days, and it seems that he is really finding his feet in the jumps game now. I think he can win a pretty uncompetitive race today at 5/2. Now to those Polytrack boys and girls up in the town where time forgot. In the first race on their card I really like my old friend Bookiesindex Boy, he finds less when asked than a mute in an interview. However, he likes to chase a pace and I think he will come through the field on the bridle before finding at least one too good. At the prices on Betfair and down at my friends B365 I think he is a jolly good place bet. Then in the second division I fancy Perfect Honour who is a big price in what is a rather weak race. He is a horse who hasn't taken much racing but has shown on occasions that he can be competitive in this sort of company. He ran well enough on both starts this season to suggest that he can take a hand in a race of this nature in time, and I think its interesting that he is running back over the minimum at the track that he won over in the past. Another who looks big at double figures. Finally I have dipped into the antepost markets this morning Long Run - Gold Cup winner in the waiting, he stays so strongly and Cheltenham will be even better for him. I was wrong thinking he was a speedy stayer, he is a very strong stayer who I think will outstay his rivals at HQ. Cappa Bleu - Tiny bet for the GN. He ran very well yesterday on soft ground, which I thought he hated. Good spring ground would be great for him, and he is in the mould of one of my favourite GN winners, one Red Marauder. All bets courtesy of the Welsh National. Good work LBB.
I see Hurricane Fly withdrawn for tomorrow. Not looking good for him even turning up in March at the current time.
I notice Mark Johnston has one of his few NH runners out today in the first at Catterick - Becausewecan - 7 times a winner on the flat and highest rated 95. Be interesting to see how he goes here
Nass agree about Long Run- he will win the GC have backed that Johnston horse Odddy and then Make Your Mark
im also on Becausewecan, Rich Mac has a lot to do with Johnson jumpers and thinks this can get of to a great start

H. try. Switch between Athteraces and Racing UK, depending on what they are covering. http://www.flashsportstreams.tv/forum/view.php?pg=vip19
