4.40 Newmarket Quality Art 40/1 NB Extremely interesting contender who I think looks massively overpriced at 40/1 despite the ground being a concern. Formerly with Gary Moore, this 4 year old has now moved the in form Richard Guest team for 15,000gns recently and I think he has a major chance if recapturing his old form. After 3 solid efforts in his juvenile campaign, Quality Art really flourished as a 3 year old and looked extremely progressive until he went off the boil in has 3 starts. In his first 5 starts as a 3 year old, he posted 3 wins and a narrowly beaten 2nd and his handicap mark rose quickly from an initial 72 to a mark of 90 and its not hard to see why. After winning a maiden, he ran a very good 2nd on his handicap debut when finishing a 0.75L beaten 2nd. The winner looks a progressive horse winning off a 7lb higher mark subsequently and Quality Art lost nothing in defeat. After this Quality Art notched up two wins, the first a very impressive 4L success at Kempton in a race that has worked out really well. The 2nd Swiss Dream, who was rated 80 that day, has since won off a mark of 99 and the 3rd has won off an 8lb higher mark as well. Quality Art was risen 10lb to a mark of 85 but showed no signs of stopping as he ran out an impressive 1L winner at Windsor. Under the guidance of Ryan Moore, he made all and Quality Art seemed to have a bit left in the tank as he went on to score. The 2nd Stlye and Panache won off the same mark two starts later and again nothing seems wrong with that form. Upped to a Class 3 off a mark of 90, Quality Art again ran a very solid race when finishing a 2L beaten 4th over todays C+D On the good to soft ground, he set a very fast early pace and he faded late on. The form of that race is fine with the winner winning off 2lb subsequently, the 2nd Ballista has won off a 1lb lower mark and the 3rd Coeus won on his next start off the same mark. His final 3 starts as a 3 year old were poor (he was eased when beaten 3 times) and he may have just gone off the boil a little bit. Quality Art makes his debut for Richard Guest off a mark of 86 and he'll have to overcome an 297 day break if he wants to get back to winning ways here. The break is an unknown, with the longest absence being 105 days before today but he ran a very good 2nd that day so I certainly think he's able to go well fresh enough. I think he looks potentially well handicapped off just 1lb above his last winning mark and if you discount his last 3 efforts he'd definitely be a much shorter price.J-P Guillambert takes the ride for the first time which represents his only engagement of the day but he has a good record with Richard Guest which looks positive. The draw in stall 10 will allow him to come either side or down the middle if needs be as he will adopt his traditional front running style. Although the ground is a big concern, he is just too big not to back at 40/1 and if the change of scenery has worked the oracle I think Quality Art could prove an extremely live prospect and although its not a race to get heavily invested in I can see him running a big race. Its also interesting to note he's been pulled on his first two engagements this season so hopefully connections would have taken him out if the ground was unsuitable.

Medici Time my last chance today, unless it wins, all proceeds will go towards a trixie of some of the selections for this evening
Basically, backing any horse SDS is on at the moment not trained by Johnson and you are going to end up in profit.....
I like Mona Brown as well. Beach of Falesa can't possibly lose although I was on at 8/1 the other day not this even money horlicks. God damn you Joseph. It still hurts.
One fa tonight 8.30 Epsom PATS LEGACY 20/1 This wee chappy is now back doon ta a winnable mark after being in the torturers grip. He also loves ta poot his wee toes in! JOB DONE!
Good to see Fiorente return to winning ways today guys! Well done anyone on winners I put a £2 double on this morning with Fiorente/Certify both were 14/1. The double was 225/1 I think but they paid £296. Were there massive Rule 4s? And what are the rules, is there a certain time where any bets after that time are rule4 affected?
Evening all guys - got a 100% Initial Mobile Bonus on my 365 account - how the hell does this work ??? May as well speak Albanian for what it's worth ??? Read the instructions but as clear as mud - can anyone explain in plain ENGLISH haha !!!
The first time you deposit and BET (they only match the amount of your first BET) through their mobile site or mobile app, they match it.
there are rule 4 rules around the time of day a horse was withdrawn and when the market reformed. they can sting you. give the bookies a call for info
Thanks Toppy - so as a for instance - I deposit a tenner (even though already cash in there ??) and bet on a 4/1 and it wins - what's the bonus then / or return ?? Sorry for sounding like a doughnut - long day in the office mate. Cheers
That Beach Of Falesa was as close as a cert you are ever likely to get - the proof she was so well in was there for all to see the other neet. Easy
Got a free bet in the 1.20 as im sure others on here do too. Anyone got a fancy they wish to share? Seems a tough one for me.....
