All over Shattered Love tomorrow, price is collapsing due to stable form so have to get it on early if backing.
Small stakes e/w L15 on Keeper Hill, Might Bite, Tombstone & Western Ryder. Main win bet on Western Ryder @ 8/1
Two for me at the moment! 4.50 - DIVINE BERE- 6/1 Fehily was so bullish about him in a preview I saw has some of the strongest form beating Master Blueyes which would make him competitive in the Triumph - this is no where near as strong as that, has about 1st in hand on the field and cannot see him getting beat! Lump on 5.30- SOMEDAY- 10/1 Had some info on this one from usually a very reliable source! That is all I got To say on this one, so take it as you wish- Good luck all
Never mind the skinny price about Tombstone the one at the bottom has snuck in, CARRIG CATHAL and is a tasty 40/1 NEON WOLF MIGHT BITE CARRIG CATHAL/MISTER MIYAGI GODS OWN EW ANY CURRENCY EW DAKOTA MOIRETTE/DREAMCATCHING FAYONAGH.....PERFECT HARMONY EW
Neon Wolf Might Bite Automated Douvannnnnn Sausalito Sunrise Divin Bere West Coast Time Good luck fellas
I can't believe Might Bite is so short. I backed Alpha Des Obeaux at 17.0 each way for a point in january and will stick with that. Hopefully Mouse will have helped him recuperate from the bleeding. Apart from him, I'm really struggling to see a bet in that race and would t back him at the current price. Neon Wolf should hose up based on sectionals LTO. We'll see. Couldn't have Bacardy's before today but the Supreme blew that form to bits even further. Dolos and Dreamcatching in the juvenile with reverse forecast. Any Currency in the farce.
Okay, regulars around here will know that I am not a follower of the jumps’ betting scene, so do not shoot the messenger... Back in January, after this had run third at Doncaster in December, I was advised that the run would put the horse straight and to back it next time. Naturally enough, I was expecting to see it out a couple of weeks later but no sign of it since and no entries. Ironically this came from somebody who tells me the occasional flat runner from Easterby territory. Now I see it in the Cheltenham 2:50 (Coral Cup): HAWK HIGH (33/1 each way). Has it been laid out over a completely new trip? Will be having a small bet just for an interest; would not touch such a field on the flat.
Tips/Words/Whispers/Info (call it what you like) I heard so far in the Coral Cup, it wasn't like this in the days before t'internet!! Mister Miyagi, Tombstone, Peregrine Run, Scoir Mear and Hawk High as above. No wonder its a no bet race.. Also a whisper for Linger of Sharks in the Fred Winter which I will be backing @33s
Was bred by a friend of the wifes in Mayo (Ireland), they are keen, but can't have it with the weight its carrying in such a competitive race but does know how to come up the hill.
This Neptune is a bad race. Absolute stinker. Has anyone else done the form on it? Makes me want to cry. Bad year for novices imho. Neon Wolf, almost by default, based on some excellent sectionals, is a short price. I think Shattered Love and Bacardys will chase him home but expect there's going to be a bit of a gap if he reproduces the times of the last day. Bad race. Having said that it really is all based on his sectionals and visual impression because his form doesn't really stack up in that Elgin ran fairly well today but didn't blow me away and the form of the race prior to that is okay but no more. It's going to a take a 145 performance to win. Which is a shame and that's why Neon Wolf will win with something in hand. I think he's the only one that can get up to 145 and above.
Pretty messy day all round Wednesday, which I shall be happy to observe from the office. Same Thursday. Friday planning to stay home though
I've found something worse than the Neptune. It's the RSA. Jesus wept. Might Bite is 3/1. Oh my word. Done almost nothing of note. Falling when certain to win a crap grade one apparently makes you a favourite to win a grade one novice at the Festival this year. Whisper - old in the tooth. Not sure he likes Cheltenham and has always looked out of place in the graded races here. That can't win. Acapella Bourgeouis - stole a heavy ground grade two against a load of 4 milers. His form looks fine but heavy and Cheltenham don't mix when you're 11/2. The one i backed, ADO, shouldn't be good enough to win any RSA. 6/1 is a shocker to be honest. Bellshill - massively overrated and a complete rogue. I can't be arsed mentioning the rest. Something will win this race but it's another you can chalk up as almost a waste of time.
Sod the office it's a day at the races for me tomorrow. Messire Des Obeaux with a bit ew on Shattered Love ew @ 25s Heron Heights Automated and Taquin du Seuil First Lieutenant Dreamcatcher and Diablo de Sivola Western Ryder and Quick Grahbm All the best one and all.
Hargam looks like a JP plot in the Coral. Down to a mark of 140 and some first time head gear to sharpen him up.
