    A rare selection from me tonight lads, but it's a pretty confident one.

    8.30 Kilbeggan Crofton Trail 13/8
    This mare ran third in a strong looking bumper on the Friday of Punchestown, won by a well above average mare of Willie Mullins' Morning Run. Crofton Trail in that race possibly didn't get the clearest of runs and was closing at the death once in the open. I've little doubt a good few bumper winners will come from this race and we've just seen the 6th home that day win her maiden hurdle at Kilbeggan tonight. A nice little boost to the form. Really think this one will be winning tonight but it's a good little bumper for the time of year.

    8.25 Aintree

    Wake Your Dreams 12/1


    I think Jennie Candlish's other runner Party Rock will take a lot of beating in his quest to win the 7.15 race on this card for the second year running but I think her other runner Wake Your Dreams is another great bet tonight. A winner of 3 Novice Hurdles and a Bumper, the unexposed 6 year old has an incredibly likeable grit and determination about him and I was very impressed by his resolution when winning twice from the front at Market Rasen last August. On the back of a 231 day absence, Wake Your Dreams made his handicap debut off his current mark of 125 over fixed brush hurdles in a hot handicap at Haydock last month where I thought he shaped very well. Unusually not sent off in front, he shaped if he needed the run as he finished an admirable 8L 3rd (miles clear of the rest) behind a couple of horses that I think were very well handicapped in the shape of Horizontal Speed and Horatio Hornblower and I thought it was a very pleasing effort. Sure to have come on for the run, Wake Your Dreams steps up in trip to extended 3m which I think will suit him really well and I definitely feel a mark of 125 is one he can win off. In a race where not many like to get on with it, I'll be absolutely stunned if Sean Quinlan doesn't send Wake Your Dreams on in front and I think he may get an easy lead which will certainly help him. Additionally, the horse seems to relish when an opponent tries to pass him and I think it will take a well handicapped horse to beat him. With ground to suit, I'm very sweet on Wake Your Dreams' chances and I think 12/1 is a superb price about him.

    Bolingbroke is being backed in the 7.35 at Hamilton.
    I think I read that Fallon has gone all the way up there for just this one ride too

    bada bing, very shrewd

    that one that never came off the bridle looked like it could have come straight out of willie mullins yard, or ran behind one of his, then you could have backed it

    3rd to the western boy I see, strong form

    Please don't use my phrase. Only people who put up winners are allowed to use it.

    <laugh> Not my first or last loser either I'm sure. Ah well least I'm not like you posting 3 or 4 losers each and every day. But then you're the 'flat expert' so please carry on ;)

    majority of mine are pricers, majority of them will lose, wouldnt insult people on a racing forum by posting 3 or 4 at under 2/1 every day

    but if i was to only post rarely when I "really think one will win" then i would be a bit embarrassed about a 13/8 shot getting cantered all over, and round some gypsy dog track to add insult to injury, you should play it safe and stick to tipping odds on mullins superstars what your good at.

    maybe one day you will make it into the 50/1 club ;)

    Boris. You were found out at Cheltenham and from what limited efforts you made at Punchestown. I assure you I had very successful meetings at both. Yes the bumper mare came second, hardly disgraced. I did say it was a decent race and the fancied 3 were in their own league so I wasn't far out.

    Tipping horses isn't the be all of my existence thankfully.

    it was a 2 horse race lets be honest, and the one with the best form won on the bridle, to be fair, yours was a bit keen most of the way and the writing was on the wall a long way out

    i was up at cheltenham, admittedly thanks to Taquin De Seuil alone, so not sure how I got found out? maybe you mean because I lost giving horses at 4 points bigger than the bookies for a laugh? punchestown was a joke of a meeting I think you will agree, you might have done ok because mullins had a few odds on winners, im not interested in those ones and the flat is my game, Ascot, York, Arc, Breeders Cup, thats when I make my money, I'll leave the jumps to the peasants who dont understand form.

    and I wouldnt even have a said a word about your horse, just like normal, if you hadnt acted the **** on my thread, I might be an idiot at times but I dont slag people for horses losing unless we had something going before the event.
