Early posting from me as I don't know what I'm up to tomorrow. At Newbury, don't miss Javert in the 12.45 and Gardefort in the 2.40 In Newcastle's 2.40 I'm liking Wakanda, which is surely an anagram of Adawank Good luck chaps
I have backed Ballydine of CL in the 1.00 at Newcastle the horse did it nicely last time and must go close today.
Well lads am back from the exciting, tiring and ridiculous expensive town of centre parcs ! But the kids enjoyed it so was the main thing ! The swimming Pools are fantastic!! Anyway what hve i missed anything ?? Some cracking days racing this weekend! Oddy read your thread and my money is down!! Sorry also SDR for me in the big one! I did like Fingal Bay but the price has gone and also him going up 9lbs as did everyone put me off him so watch him bolt up !! And Irving for me in the fighting fifth is showing some of rhe form he shows before he flopped at the festival !! And when he's hot he will be hard to cool down! Can't see why Top notch would reverse the form Any way off to bed up early tomorrow! Going riding early doors so speak all later
Ballydine the only one of interest blue. While he had 3 places plus Harry there were all beaten by half the track. Not firing and never does when the ground softens.
Intrigued by Mosspark 12/1 at Newbury 1.15. I had him down as an exciting novice chase prospect but he never fired last season. Apparently though Lavelle is much happier with him this season so it could turn out he is fairly treated in this handicap chase. He handled testing conditions as a novice hurdler so I hope to see a promising reappearance and at 12/1 i'll take an e/w poke.
Picked 4 out for a bit of interest on the TV Ballydine, Bobs Worth, Trouble in Paris Tea in Transvaal
I'm really suprised Wicklow Brave is lining up today given they practically said he was being given a break after a hard season after his 3rd against Nicholls Canyon and Faugheen. He's obviously still very well in himself and I'd expect him to force the issue today and see what can catch him. No bet in it for me. Looks tough going at Newcy today, must have got a fair shot of rain across the pond.
viewers of the morning line were given a heads up from Oliver Sherwood as Blameinontheroots led them home over at Bangor.
Very sad about Alvisio Ville Probably worth covering Coologue in the 1.55 given Smooth Stepper winning
Get in Alamoo! 2 from 3 in the comp, it's bound to be downhill from now! AP on the Morning Line managed to pick 3 of mine .... does he read not606? He agrees with me about Ma Filleule, Cole Harden, and Bob's Worth! Irving for me next
Really attritional stuff at Newbury and it will only get worse by the time the Hennessy starts. Had a little squirt of Ned Stark therefore
Afternoon all - I quite fancy identity thief in the fighting fifth though mainly because of my enthusiasm for the stable. Throwing good money after bad I also backed first lieutenant in the Hennessey. Good luck everyone
