Rapidolyte De Ladalka for me too. Slightly worried that he may not be so effective away from Catterick but he sure does have an extremely unusual running style and could have a chance if he goes at the track. His three wins at catterick have been remarkable. Been completely outpaced only to come flying home and win comfortably every time!
Ones to avoid today 2.10 Hunt Carlton Jack 4.15 Fak Manshoor 3.05 Plump Five Rivers 4.35 Plump Goochypoochyprader Also like Sticks pick, is one i followed last year, and am going for Jacksonslady in the Irish National
Was hoping to have a fun holiday bet today, as I'm staying within walking distance of a betting shop, but can't fancy a thing from all those meetings. The Irish National looks a decent race but too many in with a good chance for me to risk a bet. Maybe I'll pick 5 and hope one wins
On this day of fools it would be impolite of me not to contribute so my magic 8 ball suggests; Fairyhouse 4.50: Marasonnien - Mullins thinks this one could be weel handicapped and with the year the man has had, who's to question him Fairyhouse 5.25: Pass The Hat - the wily Moore has a live chance in the National but this could be his winner today.
Love the pedigree of Panther Claw. Can't ignore that one Sired by Old Vic who has sired: Kicking King Our Vic Racing Demon Don´t Push It Snoop Loopy Black Apalachi Money Trix Mr Pointment In Compliance Vic Venturi Aiteen Thirtythree Sunnyhillboy Chelsea Harbour Comply Or Die Out of a mare by Roselier who sired: Carvill´s Hill Suny Bay The Listener Monet´s Garden One Knight The Grey Monk Kingsmark Royal Athlete Royal Emperor Bindaree
Actually there are quite a few with good chasing pedigrees. I'm going to give the National a miss today. Good luck everyone.
Panther Claw sure to run a big race Ron, ya should have small few quid each way. You know he'll hack up if ya don't.
Afternoon chaps - I'm back from the land of no or sodding slow, internet connections, and able to partake in the daily bookie bashing practice I hope you all followed my Thursday DT advice and lumped on Realt Mor. You didn't? Prefered Mount Belbulben?? Tut tut boys !!! Irish National day and I'm with Stick and Brough re Rapido's chances. Yes it's a minefield, and yes an outsider often wins but this one's an outsider and good enough for me Can't see Tennis Cap being beaten in the 3-40, but at 7-4 not a tempter Good luck all
