Not liking all the rain up at Donny!

8.05 Leopardstown

Little Arrows 9/1

Very confident of a very big run for Ken Condon's 6 year old who is extremely well handicapped being a full stone below his last winning mark and I thought he shaped very well LTO. A winner at the course last year on soft to heavy ground, Little Arrows looked very much like he was going the right direct and Ross Coakley takes the ride again tonight. Ken Condon is in blistering form at the moment with 3 winners from his past 10 runners and I'm very confident he can keep that excellent record going tonight.
 
Decent bet on Jungle Beat- I thought it would beat a more fancied stablemate lto before he was declared a NR. I see Quel is sweet on this one also
 
****. What's happening with Jungle Beat? Just shot out to 6/1 across the board from 9/2 and the fav has hardened into 13/8
 
Right lads thats me for the day... Gotta work as my betting wont keep me...

Good luck if your betting later on...<cheers>
 
I'LL HAVE ANOTHER is out of the Belmont tomorrow. I've put up a separate thread if anyone is interested.
 
I backed Little Arrows also purely because of the going so i'm hopeful of a decent effort given his drop, best of luck ROTO, good work as alway's.

Chiswick Bey 25/1 NB

Despite having to put two 'disappointing' efforts behind him, 25/1 looks an absolutely massive price about Richard Fahey's 4 year old and I think the return to good ground and the step up to a mile will definitely suit him tomorrow. Chiswick Bey is pretty unexposed with only 11 starts to date and Richard Fahey's gelding looked a rather progressive animal at the end of last year. Winning on debut at the track, Chiswick Bey contested the Group 2 Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot in his 2 year old career and although outclassed, it shows connections like him. On his 4th start Chiswick Bey made his handicap debut off a mark of 85 at Newcaslte as he ran out an impressive winner of the small runner field. Subsequently, he was hardly disgraced off marks of 92 and 93 when finishing less than 7L behind the very talented Wooten Bassett before finishing midfield in the Listed 2 YO Trophy at Redcar which rounded off his 2YO campaign.

Last year Chiswick Bey was restricted to only 2 starts as a 3 year old so he either suffered an injury or else is difficult to get ready. On his reappearance, he looked as if he needed the run and on is 2nd start during the last campaign he ran a very good race to finish 1.25L behind stablemate Common Touch off a mark of 90, a horse I rate quite highly at good ground over 7f at York. The form of that race is strong with Common Touch winning off a 5lb higher mark on his next start with some authority and he has also been beaten by less than a length off a 12lb higher mark. The time of this race was also good and in Richard Fahey's interview after this race I think its very telling that he said Chiswick Bey would be upped to a mile (tomorrow's trip) and it should bring some improvement about him. 2 starts back Chiswick Bey's made his reappearance on the back of an 11 month absence where he was disappointing but I'm putting that down as him needing the run. LTO he faced a Class 3 7f event at Newcastle and I really think you have to ignore that run as it was heavy, heavy ground and I don't think you can read much into that form at all. Resultantly, he's now down to a mark of 87 and I think he looks very well handicapped, being only 2lb above his very impressive last win and 3lb below his excellent effort behind a progressive rival in a Class 2 event. Although he looks 2nd string on jockey booking, I am not concerned in the slightest as on numerous occasions for Fahey the apparent outsider has won. Tony Hamilton takes the ride and he's a jockey I have absolutely no problems with whatsoever. With a good draw in stall 9, I am confident of a big showing from Chiswick Bey and hopefully he can land this open affair at a lovely price.

I've had to go in again at 66s. Although I'm not chuffed about the rain arriving, he has won on good to soft impressively and won on debut on soft (although I think that was probably more talent than acting on the ground)
 
The tips were awful, the weather was pretty damn bad but the day was fantastic. Looking round Shalfleet and Dalham Hall, and the Darley empire in general, was superb. <cheers>
