My Tent or Yours is forecast at 10/11 and if that's the case when the markets open i'll be having my first proper bet of the season. Absolutely miles ahead of this motley bunch. I'd go as low as 8/11 but any smaller and it'll be a no bet. 4/6 best price at the moment so unless that changes its a watching brief.
I can see MTOY going off 1/2 Bob, nothing in his class in this field and we know he goes well fresh and has his going. Double him up with Taper Tantrum in the listed novices hurdle on the same card to boost the old returns

8/11 with Skybet, also on that double too Oddy. Thrown in the odds on shot in the opener for a small treble but slightly worried that Nicholls could spoil it.
Next Sensation at 3.75 in the 14:30 at Kempton Perfect Symphony at 3.50 in the 14:45 at Newcastle Best Boy Barney at 5.00 in the 15:35 at Kempton
I like Alan King's juveniles in the early part of the season Mick, he has a knack of getting them really well for their early races and Lord Huntingdon looked very decent on debut. He will certainly come on for that and track and trip should suit him well. The fact that Cliffs Of Dover has already been handicapping makes me think he isn't one of the yards top juveniles. He won his handicap but was getting bags and bags of weight. Mr King will be smiling today I think.
15:20 Newcastle - Always Summer (Filly's 6lb rise in the weights is almost negated by the 5lb allowance of apprentice rider George Wood. Seems to stay very well. 2/1 available atm, probably will be a shorter SP?).
Both of these look moderate to me in the grand scheme of things, and I wasn't taken by the favourites jumping on debut. I'd say the market has it about right, but if Nicholls horse drifted a bit 15/8 ish. Then I'd be tempted.
Took the 2s on offer myself but put it in a patent bet with two over at kempton 335 stumble head 445 Trojan star Nothing looks a certanty though so fingers crossed the three come in .
Got abit of word for Mr Diablo in 3.25 at Cork and trainer sounded confident of a decent run in todays RP.Very competative race though with Tell Us More the market leader after moving from Willies barn to Mr Elliot.You can make a case for all eight runners so I'm going to go Ew at 6/1.In the following race im taking Vinnie Luck to beat the Mullins jolly at 3/1.
All about jumping the obstacles I'm afraid Mick - I do think the Nicholls horse would have won anyway though, looked to be going slightly better at the time.
