Good luck 'cgull. SAMS PRIDE in the next at Hereford with one of my favourite claimers taking a valuable few pounds off. First time tongue tie may eke out some improvement too if he needs it.
4.20 Hereford Ramses De Marcigny 9/2 Quite like the look of Paul Nicholls' unexposed 7 year old who I think could be potentially very well handicapped off a mark of 105. He comes here on the back of a break from January and I think its very interesting that he had pretty much the exact same break last year when successful on his only win over hurdles. Although chasing today, the form of that maiden hurdle looks strong in relation to Ramses De Marcigny's handicap mark with the 2nd (who carried 5lb less than this 7 year old that day) coming a decent 2nd off mark of 109 and the 3rd (who carried 10lb less) winning twice subsequently off a mark of 105. I think the return to good ground will definitely help RDM cause. He had a profile of the sort of horse who would improve when sent chasing and with Ryan Mahon taking a valuable 3lb off, Nicholls only runner at the track could take all the beating, especially with the trainer in very good form and having a 31% strike rate with his chasers at the course. I put him up at 7s last night but still think he is well worth a bet at 9/2.
Right thats me off... Hope the later bets that the boys have come in... Good luck to all... See ya tom...
I put him in my yankee purely on your say so ROTO and it's quite possible that he is one of those horses who need catching fresh. Have also had a bet on ROB CONTI though as I think they bought this one along very gently and possibly today we could see some sharp improvement. Good luck mate
Got that horribly wrong about him looking like the sort of horse who would improve going chasing. Couldn't jump to save his life!
It's been sunny all day here (near York) and blustery so i'd imagine the ground will be drying up all the time. Just thought that would help out anyone doing a bit of form study tonight.
At least e/w landed with Bahr Nothing but looked a difficult ride. Winner very well backed before off and looked a cut above the rest.
That claimer must be fairly useful in Acapulco Bay. 8 rides for the trainer now in a year, 3 winners and a placed horse. It'd be interesting to ee find out of they backed every one of his rides for them or not.
I was just testing to see if it copied OK. I nicked it from the Arsenal forum. It started off as Wenger and it seems they just built it up. I don't know how they do it.
