    A few selections for Leopardstown again today, it does look a little trickier today upon my 15th viewing <laugh>

    Black Tears 16/1 - 12.55
    Faugheen 2/1 - 3.00
    Chavi Artist 20/1 - 4.00
    Castra Vetera 4/1 - 4.35

    Black Tears and Chavi Artisit backed each way paying 5 places.

    Good luck.

    Good day/night Ste? I was supposed to be up there myself but I was unable to attend. A few of my friends said it was a right day after. Did you stick around for the music and that?

    Tony Martin's At The Acorn looks to have been aimed at the old Leopardstown Chase. Carries a 15lb hike for the convincing novice chase win, but more burdensome stiil, also carries the weight of my support. Sorry Tony.

    Looking forward to seeing Aspire Tower here - has looked an absolute monster to date and hopefully he can take this en route to the Triumph.

    Thanks Ste. The hangovers are hard to deal with alright, plenty of lucozade and chili doritos into ya and then a nice greasy take away later.

    Glad to see Aspire Tower up OK. He settled much better today but looked to be struggling with Cerberus coming to the last and he may not have won even if he had got that good long jump at the last. Pushed out to around 8/1 for the Triumph now behind the English pair Goshen and Allmankind. Not sure whether either of those will be going for the Adonis (or indeed suited by Kempton). The one to take from today's race is clearly the winner A Wave Of The Sea, his stamina kicking in just in time to reel in Cerberus after the last. He should relish the hill at Cheltenham.

    That looks like Willie's Supreme horse sorted - should relish the hill and can hopefully jump a little straighter at Prestbury Park.

    Wouldn't argue with much of that, and I agree that SF should probably be marginal favourites - they look a bit better balanced on both sides of the ball, and seem to react more quickly to opposition play-variations. Not entirely convinced by the 'top-ranked defense' argument: SF were 4-12 last season and consequently got a very soft 2019 schedule and won in second gear against some decidedly moderate sides. The American obsession with statistics can be misleading sometimes.

    The only bet I really fancy is to go high on the points. Andy Reid is 61, and can't guarantee another SB appearance, so I don't expect him to die wondering.
    But so much attention has been paid to (and words written about) the Mahomes-Kelce link-up that a lot of pundits seem to be overlooking the match-winning potential of Tyreek Hill. My guess is that the match-result rests on which happens more often: Hill getting space to run into, or Bosa getting to Mahomes. Very mild preference for KC, on the (highly debatable) grounds that Garoppolo sometimes tries to force a play when he'd be better off throwing the ball away or just taking the hit. Turnovers might settle it, but over 53.5 points looks the way to go.

    Go bottom right and click on the full screen symbol (this should appear with the volume controls etc when you move your mouse bottom right. If not you might have to click above the chat symbol - not on it - pops up a new window). On full-screen the ads disappear.

    Ran a cracker again. I think Ronan's ambitions of winning the stayers will come up short but he might run into 4th or 5th with luck if they take him over. Horse has been a revelation for them the past two seasons. The winner is some improver and is that kind of horse who just grinds it out so you never quite know where the bottom of him is. I can see him getting another 8lb for that, the handicapper will be keen now the five timer has come.
