Going out for a chinese meal tonight Dex - really looking forward to it. I might even drink a small beer or twelve <cheers>

Oddy tbh I haven't really been looking..Going away for Easter and most of June so will start searching after that...less opportunity over here tbh and most Pharma outfits are shedding and not hiring...I like being a kept man <laugh>

We bought a couple of buy to lets in a place called Peterlee,via Interlet/Castledene,near where RV is from so that will keep me interested for the time being..property so cheap at the moment if you have a lump sum or can arrange finance.

Bad luck with that Hunter Chaser and enjoy your dinner...I'm having some of Wednesdays left overs...better than the Pizza muck i was served last evening and will save me some cash until my latest venture goes bust..<laugh>
 
Rasputin to give me a nice little winner on this lovely Friday evening. 7/1 -Dundalk 7.50
 
Great shout ROTO.

Thank you for your write up. I picked up on it from when you mentioned Indian Scout as saw that when it won.

Thanks and well done.

8.50 Dundalk

Regal Tramp FC 7/1

I'm Very confident that Vincent Ward's 4 year old filly can she her maiden tag at the 17th time of asking tonight. On her last start, Regal Tramp was a big eye catcher at the course last month over 1m2.5f off a mark of 68. Dropped out at the rear, she made some very good headway over what I feel is slightly too short for her under hands and heels riding from Conor Hoban to finish a 4.75L beaten 6th. That day it certainly seemed that Hoban had a lot of horse left under him and it was a very encouraging display. The form of this race looks pretty strong with the winner Aragorn Rouge finishing narrowly beaten on his 2 subsequent starts, off 5lb and 8lb higher marks respectively. Furthermore, the 4th finished a neck second off the same mark on his only subsequent start and the 7th Indian Scout, 1.5L behind Regal Tramp, has won on his two subsequent starts including off a 12lb higher mark.

Prior to this, Regal Tramp has put in a number of good performances off higher handicap marks, including a 0.5L defeat at the Galway Festival off a mark of 73 over tonights trip as well as consecutive 2nds (although both 5L defeats) off marks of 75. After being dropped a further 3lb form her last effort to 65, tonight's race represents the easiest task to date in Regal Tramp's career as she is stepped into 47-65 rated handicap company for the first time, meaning she will be up against significantly easier opposition than she has faced before. Fran Berry is a very eye catching jockey booking and takes the ride on this 4 year old for the first time. The excellent Berry very much seems Ward's go-to jockey as he was the regular pilot on board the trainer's Listed winner Fictional Account. The draw in stall 9 shouldn't be much of an issue given she doesn't need to race prominently.

With her proving her worth off higher handicap marks in the past in higher grades (her Galway 2nd was in 55-80 rated handicap company) I am 100% convinced she is well up to defying her current mark. With the step back up in trip bound to suit, the booking of Berry and the significant drop in grade I think everything points to a massive run from Regal Tramp. It is also very interesting to note she is declared in a 50-80 handicap race at Leopardstown next week back on the turf so it clearly demonstrates she is in good heart and if connections have any aspirations of landing a race like that then surely she has to be good enough to win a race the quality of tonight's contest. With all signs pointing to a bold display, I'm very confident she can earn her elusive first win for Ward and go on to bigger and better things.
