Bangor and Newcastle cancelled, NH racing from Kempton and AW from Wolverhampton. Just the one for me tomorrow. Wolverhampton 19.00 Sagesse 5/2 (What a lovely name for a filly). I'll have some of the profit from yesterday on this one. 20 points win
410 kempton court victory and triangular do battle may well be worth an rf now while the odds are good but 4s with coral is ridiculously high on court victory who should win this easily unless the big drop in weights and Fehily shave a lot off triangular
I wouldn't risk it Oddy. Could get turned over again. Batonnier has some useful earlier form and could go close provided it doesn't come up heavy. Une Artiste might romp home by 20l but it's not a race I would touch.
Me neither Ron, just surprised at the prices. Battonier yet to jump a fence in public and his hurdle form is nowhere near as good as the mare's.
Interesting support for NOZIC 2:30 Kempton 9-1 . He won this race last year and tries again off a mark 11lb lower! Blinkers back on tomorrow and that may make all the difference. Its not a great race and nothing bar him in the field looks particularly well weighted.
bit of a gamble taking place on Valdaw 5.30 from 10s into 5s on bet365 ! All over Baltimore Rock tomorrow in the opener...double with Une Artiste and i'll have a treble with Court Victory to give me interest on the bus back to Donegal tomorrow ! Also have only three episodes of Breaking Bad left altogether so going to finish that too on the way up !
BATTONIER was Pricewises 2012 pick for the Albert Bartlett before Alan Kings horrendous injury news with him and Invictus I think Battonier has much more scope as a chaser than the mare and I'd prefer him at those prices. His reappearance, given how gently he was re-introduced, was most promising.
Just read a tweet saying Willie has a full bother to Quevega in the yard. Vivega. Can't wait to see him.
Through the card at Kempton today; 1:30 BALTIMORE ROCK took a better price last night. Looks to have been let in lightly by the handicapper. Has a very good claimer taking 5lbs off and will like the conditions. 2:00 ALBERT BRIDGE has some very good flat form in the book and we know the yard like this one a lot. Getting 7lbs from his main rival is huge in my opinion. 2:30 NOZIC put up last night at a much better price. Won the race off 11lbs higher last year. Has shown nothing this season but the blinkers are back on. It is a bit of a stab in the dark as to whether he will put his best foot forward but was the value in the race on all the evidence. 3:05 HARRY'S FAREWELL who really impressed in a bumper last year (think PN tipped it). Highly tried over hurdles but its all starting to click. Has his fair share of weight but still open to any amount of improvement and will love the ground. 3:35 UNE ARTISTE has the mares allowance giving her a massive advantage. Major shock if she doesn't win. 4:10 SUMMERY JUSTICE is fractionally my pick of the weights in what is without doubt for me the trappiest race on the card, Venetia form just swings it! 4:40 THIRD ACT purely because he has solid form and the experience may make all the difference. Three nice debutantes though with Brean Play Percy just my pick of them in front of Less Time and Summer Sounds. Good luck everyone
Oratorio's Joy in the 7 00 @ 6/1 is an e/w bet to nothing --has been 1st or 2nd every run at the track-could give the SMP hotpot something to think about--i will do a r/f as well. Scrapping the barrel abit now, but Davids Secret 25/1 in the 8 00 is a horse who has been in races where many winners have come out of, i see they try the visor tonight, the stable had a big price winner last night--dropped in to a 'dog meat' grade he may outrun his odds.....
Morning? Noticed trainer TG McCourt sent 3 desert rats over the pond this week to Wolver, Denbigh Raur ran 10th of 11 last night, Copper Dock ran 4th last night over 7F, runs again this eve at 5.30 over 6F from a good draw, and Ghost of a Girl in the lucky last, visored for the 1st time in a race that wont take much winning. Surely one of these must cop tonight to pay the expenses? Good Luck!
Aye attivo -you would expect so -but these low grade animals are hard to predict -they never hold form -good luck
What a good ride from Giles Hawkins there. He nicked that race with a tactical move that caught the others napping. Many accumulators (mine included) gone down there!
Racked off paddy the stout looked good for that race on paper but something put me off what a complete f ing d k I am
