Good morning chaps Today's arrers: Neon Wolf for the win, and Shattered Love ew at 14-1 (last night) Might Bite seems a good call Scoir Mear 20-1 ew Douvan - a virtual 100 grand on the nose Sausalito Sunrise, despite Nina's preference for horses with previous Cross Country experience. Divin Bere. Top weight, but still a potential blot. Fayonagh for the in-form GE at 14-1 ew Good luck all
Quite like Usual Smurfer in the Cross Country having ran a lovely prep for this last time. At even bigger odds, First Lieutenant will surely be primed for today by Mouse Morris and plugged on last time as if better was to come. He's always been better on this spring ground and I hope this is his day in the sun. I don't have a strong opinion on the Neptune with Finians Oscar out but Brelade has shaped really nicely on testing ground in Ireland without really finishing his race off and I anticipate he might outrun his 25/1 odds and will play e/w. Messir Des Obeaux should run a solid race but not sure the ground is in his favour. The RSA looks a strange race this year with flat track winners and heavy ground winners facing the unknowns of Spring in Cheltenham today. I thought Henry de Bromhead entering up Marinero for Giggimstown was eyecaching as looking at his form he may well have been saved for better ground. He should stay no problem and believe it or not his last race was a staying on 2nd to none other than Thistlecrack! Thought he was worth an e/w poke at 22/1. Other than that, il have a placepot.
Will it be Willie Wednesday ??? I sure hope so as I've gone for the following e/w treble; Bon Papa (1.30) Tin Soldier (2.50) Divin Bere (4.50)
Not great or original selections today but I havn't got that much riding on all of them anyway... Neon Wolf Mite Bite Tombstone, though I do have Hargam @25/1 ap Watching Douvan, though I like Reebok's idea of putting £100,000 of some virtual/monopoly money down if they would let me... Not bothered bout the x-country... Niezsche Fayonagh Looking forward to another good day which I could easily see some more 'wtf' moments happening once again... Good luck to all...

One thing before we start. Noel Fehilly has NW in a horrible position out wide. EDIT: Sorted himself out within two fences.
NOOOO...!! What an effort to get back when pecking at the last... Prob would have done him had he jumped it clean...
Nice start for my "Lucky Number 14" Lucky 31 today Other number 14s today: Automated (Coral Cup) Third Intention (Cross Country) Dakota Moirette (Fred Winter) Robin The Raven (Bumper) Super game from Willoughby Court
Cracking race at the end there. Felt the final jump cost him, not the supposed interference. I don't think there was anything in that but the landing was naff. He did well to keep going and challenge again. Most horses would have given in.
