I very rarely post my fancies as I don't have the same depth of knowledge as the main posters but having read recently that Colreevy has recently been covered/may be in foal, I fancy her to spring a wee surprise in the novices chase this evening.

Sometimes being in foal does bring about that wee bit of improvement in a mare, on bare ratings (not always a reliable guide) she's not that far behind the two Favs so I'll have a small interest
 
Just will take a small each way chance on Miss Matterhorn in the upcoming race at Brighton. Ran well on debut at this track, has won under todays jockey and surely will improve after comeback run last time out (had a wind surgery). Stable usually does well at Brighton.
 
Not a fancy price today, but my selection is in the staying handicap at Nottingham.

4:30 Hochfeld

The price seems to have leveled out this morning, but he still rates as a bit of value if you want to take on an unbeaten favourite. I thought he should be around 9/4 for this, given that he is the pace angle, he has the proven high level handicap form and he looks to be fairly weighted once more.

I thought his run last time out at Newbury was quite taking, and whilst he faded in the finish I thought he showed more than enough to suggest that he is still a horse capable of winning from marks in the 90s. He now drops into a small field handicap where I have to take on the unbeaten favourite whose wins have been impressive enough but he has a high handicap mark to deliver from, given he beat inferior horses, on handicap debut.


Should have just stayed with this one selection. He dug in very well
 
Sorry Pilgrim
JAZZAWAY 12/1 4;50 Punchestown
Had a break since being runner up to Mrs Milner at Galway and I think its fair to say that Mrs Milner has somewhat franked that form in the interim. Up 6lbs for that run but very useful claimer negates half of that penalty. That run came off a break also so its fair to say that she goes well fresh. I have no idea why she hasnt been seen since but she cannot be the easiest to train surely. Mullins is mob handed in this so it will be interesting and informative to see how low she goes.
I have also backed the yards horse HEY JOHNNY in the concluding bumper at 25/1, now 20's. I put it up on here for its debut but it was just an ok performance. Stunningly well bred for this game so hoping it will have come on heaps for that run.

BOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMM as I like to say!

Well spotted, Stick. I took 16/1 with Hills last night.
Given that he gave 9lbs to Mrs Milner( winner off 134 at Cheltenham ), being beaten by half a length at Galway, his net rating of 123 would put Mrs Milner in here with about 115- or a weight of about 9st 9lbs. You’d be killed in the rush.
Of course, that Galway run was last year and who knows the respective merits/improvement of each horse now.
It wouldn’t surprise me if he started favourite- or if Mullins won with another horse,<laugh>

Well done mate. Got a better price than me. Very good spot <party>

And another <applause><applause>
 
Well done stick <applause>

Some race coming up in Ireland. I can't believe Chacun Pour Soi is fav here - what Alaho did at Cheltenham was massive. Fascinating to see what they will do tactically but surely Rachael will make it

Cheers mate, sorry about your lot but could you please take Derby with you.......

Sentimental EW on First Flow here. Better horse going RH.
 
A La Voile tried to make all but was then passed. She kept on well though and was coming back into it before she seemed to tire and finish 4th. She was much better than the favourite Mostly, who was 7th after being quickly beaten. I felt she was bad value today with her 90 rating and it was justified to have taken her on.

Winner La Lune ran well on her seasonal debut last year but was pretty disappointing after that in four more runs. Maybe one that goes best fresh and could be worth opposing next time if she is shortish odds.

Well done Stick today and anyone else who got a winner.

I'll take whoever you want mate - getting my voluntary severance pay from my current job and got a new job lined up in beautiful Bavaria for cracking good money - happy days <party>

Lilium is the company - sounds absolutely amazing <ok>
