    The form of the yards is interesting-- honeyball's in the groove--Curtis's have had plenty backed, but noticably underperformed---its a no brainer !!

    Dont see what is strong about the Skyfarmer form, am I missing something? Everything thats came out of that bumper has been absolutely tailed off and the winner only won a poor gaff novice hurdle next time.

    Obviously has a good chance today, only got 2 to beat and 1 hasnt run, but dont see how the form could be called strong.

    Johnsons been backed into fav and he is up against Rachel Green from Friends I think, I will be leaving the wheelbarrow in the shed but good luck to anyone whos betting on it<ok>

    Smashed up the 11/8 War Command on Friday, first decent sized bet since Treve but not strong on anything today.

    Will have a few fiddles at the Curragh probably but my main bet, albeit a small one, is on Glorious Protector 6/1 at Goodwood.

    There were several backed to beat ours yesterday mate but from some way out the result was not in doubt. I expect good money for Solstice Son nearer post time and for him to go off clear favourite.
    trust me Boris that The Skyfarmer form is bloody decent!
    Final point, who won this race last year?

    Nothing insulting about posting winners. Short prices or not

    Hi All. A rare visit and tip from me in the 5.20 Limerick.

    Seefood is making his chasing debut today so we're taking on trust that he takes to the larger obstacles but if he does, he looks every inch a 'goodthing' to me. Dessie Hughes unleashed Art of Logistics to win easily on his chase debut earlier this week and if Seefood has been readied to the same extent he wins this. His Aintree third over hurdles looks exceptionally decent form being as the winner of that, Ubak (along in a different parish to Seefood come the line) ran Un Atout to a neck on his next start and Nicky Henderson's second that day has come out and won a Class 3 chase on debut. Seefood travelled very well at Aintree that day and can progress though the ranks.

    5.20 Limerick Seefood 13/8. This wins

    Good to see someone else fancies ther chances here I think they have a real good chance and at 11/2 they were first in my small ew lucky 31 as I attempt to kick the back doors in at ffos on a wet horrible day , chances are slim I know but theres nothing wrong with optimism.
    With sam onboard 4 today two probrably favs or there abouts he could have a very good day but as usual I wont be on the poor odds, even though sam has a exceptionally good record here.

    I see all the money at the moment is for the Rebecca Curtis newcomer- its blue right across the boards on oddschecker. Weird Richard Johnson has been booked for the ride. How often does he ride for the lovely Rebecca Curtis? The Twiston-Davies horse looks a danger in this too...

    Are people still very confident that the Honeyball horse (with a female jock up top) will do the business? Never heard of the jockey... It all looks potentially a bit trappy...

    Never heard of Rachel Green? Shakes head in disbelief. Assistant trainer to Honeyball and rides most if his bumpers. Also a prolific winning p2p jockey.

    PS; Boris should be ashamed of his reference to trashy yank comedy lol

    Friends was the greatest comedy show of all timeeee <kanyewest>

    Anyone else see the 11/10 Sprinter Sacre to be unbeaten this season with Paddy Power?

    Any value iyo? Looks like 11/10 for him not to fall in 4 or 5 races, dont think there is anything around that can beat him.

    You've never heard of Rachael Green Captain? Shame on you ........................... 17.65% strike rate this season and well worth here 3lbs claim here. Booted home his bumper winner yesterday.

    I think the Curtis horse will want further - pedigree is all about stamina rather than speed. The Twister horse could be interesting - 3rd in a P2P and the second that day, Germany Calling, made a decent debut for Charlie Longsden the other week and was well fancied - although having said that he finished 3rd which, for a Longsden horse at the moment is something of a disappointment <laugh>

    Went with Bush Pilot 9/2 in the first, moved like a reasonable animal first time when not enjoying a great trip and that experience could come in handy, some interesting newcomers that are looking strong in the market though.

    Ballydoyle found a modest listed opportunity for one time classic contender Cristoforo Colombo at the Curragh today, but fancy a bit of an each way punt on Burn The Boats [c/d winner] at 16/1
