    Wanted to get this up early to let everyone get the price. I put up a few weeks back that Nathaniel in the Eclipse was the bet of the flat season so far, this race may not register on the racing calendar in the same way as the Eclipse but this bet is for me just as strong.

    Kempton 5.30 Obliterate 7-2 best odds
    This horse was beaten last time out by Stirring Ballad from the Balding yard, it was a very respectable race and beaten under 2 lengths into 4th whilst giving the winner 4ib. Stirring Ballad went on to win a very competative handicap at Goodwood last week with greater ease than he won against Obliterate.

    I think one or two of the analysis experts think Noble Jacks stamina may be a question mark over 12f. You may need to factor that into his price to weigh up your risk. Good luck.

    For followers of National Hunt racing the most interesting race of the day has to be the 2.35 at Cork where Willie Mullins unleashes Cheltenham Bumper 3rd Pique Sous over hurdles. Whilst anyone taking 2/7 in a 25-runner maiden hurdle would be bonkers with a capital "B", it will be most interesting to see how this fellow accquits himself over hurdles.

    At a working-mans's price of 8/1, Aiden O'Brien's The Grand Duke takes the eye in he 2.20 at Naas. By Duke Of Marmalade, he is a half-brother to the smart Bonfire and Joviality, and Ballydoyle will have a good line on the Weld horse who was trounced by their Theatre on debut.

    Best of luck to those dabbling today <ok>

    An interesting gamble going on at Naas 3.50 All Silver

    Been racing in 1m1f and 1m2f maidens, now running over 6f on handicap debut. Been backed in from 25s into 5s. I spy a Mark Prescott-esque handicap job here

    Morning folks. Absolute nightmare at Chester. Two 2nds and an abandonment <laugh>

    Absolute freaky weather. The heavens just opened and the home straight had its own built in swimming pools after about 20 minutes!



    Probably saved me some money to be fair!


    I think the favourite is way too short at 4/11 in Ripons opener today. Maiden form was nowhere near enough to be 90-rated and I'm not upgrading his mark on the basis of an okay run in the super sprint.

    Look out for the Fahey newcomer but more importantly the Johnston horse on 2nd start who will have learnt loads in at the deep end when green at Sandown. Betzyoucan 18/1 e.w

    Bluesky, are you not concerned third has come out and lost by 6 lengths?
