Today for me is all about TWEEDLEDRUM this progressive 6yo can take the 2.45 Wetherby decent win investment. Benjamin Poste a lad well worth the 7lb. Fancy prices gone currently about 6/1.
 
The losing streak continues so you may want to lay this rather than back it.
SHAMMICK BOY 14-1 1.00 Wetherby was fourth to Home Run at the end of December which by itself means he wasnt too far behind a very decent horse. The runner up that day, Extremely So, has also won since. His last run was soon after the yard had been under quarantine for Equine herpes so there is every possibility that he may have not been as sharp as he will be tomorrow. To aid his cause the handicapper has kindly eased him a couple of pounds. All in all I think that makes him worthy of a little each way flutter.


Welsh Champion Hurdle thread

When your luck is out.......Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuucccccccccccckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkittttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt
 
Shammick Boy unlucky loser. Unless you backed it ew! Which I did - cheers Stick :)
 
Unlike most bookies, Boylesports allow you to double the same horse in different events at the offered price and I've done a little double on Oscara Dara to win today and the World Hurdle. He'll need to win today if he has any chance but in what looks an extremely weak renewal with Big Bucks defection I think he's definitely in the shake up if successful of 154.
 
Afternoon guys, looks like an afternoon for the sloggers today mudlarks it is. I received this information from Dan today in the next at Lingfied James Bethell will not have RICH AGAIN beaten, currebtly available at 9/4

Looked as if McCoy was told not to give him to hard a ride there ROTO, he drop the reins turning for home
 
Oscara bubble truly burst for me. Dunno what to make of that run but not good enough for Chelts methinks.
 
That Oscara Dara performance is ridiculously puzzling! The owners have a blog so I'll keep an eye on that and repost if they say anything.

Another poor ride from the jockey, maybe next time i would imagine if the trainer was so confdent he will not be happy with that ride. Nothing ventured nothing gained.

Have a good day guys and good luck if you play on a day when i think it may be better to watch and learn than gamble oer teh jumps.

Im looking for a couple of decent big priced ones EW on the AW all look weighted to go close at their best:

2.55 Above The Stars 10/1
3.30 Askaud 25/1
4.05 Toploski 40/1
4.35 Cuthbert 9/1

<ok>
 
Captain Conan - small boom :)

Be interesting to hear Hendo's opinion on his best distance now though .....

Well NH says he won well enough so it looks like he will stay at 2.5m - far from convincing for me.
 
Handicapper killed Oscara Dara, I dont think he is any better than a handicapper and probably wont be winning for a while.

Captain Conan, wouldnt write him off, hes better than that, serious player in the Jewson on decent ground.
