Sunday's racing comes from Market Rasen (precautionary inspection 08.00 Sunday), Ffos Las and Navan (all National Hunt meetings). 3.00 Ffos Las Douryna (NAP) - I've taken 3/1 BOG on Colin Tizzard's mare who ran a cracker last time out to finish 7 lengths second to Niceonefrankie at Hereford (2m 5 1/2f Class 4 handicap chase, Good-soft). Douryna was conceding 6lbs to Niceonefrankie who was running off a mark of 100 but is now rated 120 after winning 2 of his next 3 races. Douryna runs off the same mark (106) and the excellent Brendan Powell takes off 5lbs. The Tizzard stable has hit a bit of form (5 winners in the space of 1 hour on Saturday) and Douryna looks to have an excellent chance here. Also interesting in the first at Market Rasen (if it goes ahead) is Fiulin, especially now he is with David Pipe. A listed winner on the flat for Botti he went novice hurdling with Evan Williams and ran a cracker in Menorah's Supreme Novices Hurdle, finishing 13 lengths 7th. Failed to go on from there and has been off the track for nearly a year but this is just the type of horse that Pipe can get ready to go an win first time out. No real prices up yet but 2/1 on the barmy Betfair at the moment.
16.40- FFos Llas Esteem - Evens Just the one bet for me tomorrow atm, Have backed him every race this term. Although he is yet to win a race over hurdles but he has struck twice over the larger obstacles of late and competes off just a 7lb higher mark than when landing a 2m novices' handicap chase by 11 lengths at Southwell earlier this week. He is thriving at present and looks very much the one to beat
Hello lads. Quite like Carloswayback tomorrow in the 4.00 at Navan.This is a very tight little race but my selection is bred for the job and very lightly raced.He won LTO over 20f and impressed with his jumping and the way he travelled,before beating a decent yardstick. Prior to that he had run a cracker over 3m before getting collared close home.Tomorrows heat is over a stiff 17f and that is the slight concern,although he has some decent collateral form over 2m. Not nap material because of that but i'm gonna have a play.He is totally unexposed and 7/2 could be value. Also interested in Berties Dream in The Ten Up at 4.30 but waiting to see if the rain arrives. He seems to be finally fulfilling his hurdling promise and if he gets an easy lead could be hard to peg back.He got within 9 odd lengths of the great BB over timber on gd ground but is infinitely better with a bit of give underfoot.A real dour stayer with a touch of class,Berties Dream is closely matched with SMU on his penultimate start but I believe he is better than that now that the penny has dropped. If it gets sloppy 7/2 is a steal...still worth a shout under predicted terrain conditions. Gl all.
Agree Wooley...he absolutely hosed up and may well still be ahead of the h'capper...lot of runs recently the only downside.
I know- that is the only thing, but Im sure he wouldnt run if he had too many miles on the clock. And hes going over hurdles probably to have one more winning run before a break and he has avoided a massive hike in the weights!
I got 11/10 on him on betfair, will prbly start drifting tomorrow oh well lol - will be my only punt of the day!
Dickie Hills to retire after DWC according to newspaper reports in the UAE. I do hope they hacked his phone and it is true.
Also The Minack may have run his last race, he suffered a serious injury in his race yesterday. Very sad to report that news.
Iron Man McCoy could have a 4 timer in Welsh Wales today (in reverse order) At Fishers Cross 2/1 Cross the Flags 9/4 Spot the Ball 15/8 Benheir 7/4 £1 L15 £5 roll up Floras Pride expected to place in the 2:10 at MR Stay Frosty
Very sad to hear that Nass - didn't look a bad fall TBH, more one of those "slithering to the ground" type things. I hope he will race again but if his career is over then here's wishing him a long and happy retirement. He's been a great credit to the Nicholls yard in his all too short career
I hope that is true about Hills lets hope the Minack makes a full recovery some impressive winners yesterday for the Tizzard yard
Hello one and all. So Sprinter Sacre had a breathing opp in the off season. Four for me today all at Ffos Las. 1.30 Jumps Road 3pm Victors Serenade 3.35 Derwyn Pride 5.15 Serenwan All each way. Too hungover to offer any reasoning.
Navan 4.00 Nearest The Pin Very nice horse, ran a blinder behind Hidden Cyclone the last day, form which just about sets the standard here, looks a chaser going places and he should have too much speed for Carloswayback who is a nice horse himself. Far Away So Close could be a big danger if putting in a good round but I fancy the Martin horse very strongly. Also fancy Tennis Cap in the first
A surprise comeback from The Lay King today! http://betfairlayking.weebly.com/ 2 at Navan, one at Ffos Las, who I have opposed on value terms. Todays are proper borderline calls.
