Pretty happy with this.I just had a look ahead to Wednesday's card at Leopardstown and saw one I fancy for the derby. Venice Beach was a real eyecatcher on his debut here in October. He looked really green but quickened well when he realized what was expected of him into second. I've had a decent bet at 50/1 but 33/1 is still available.
I watched the derby trial at chester won by Venice beach ... I'm backing WINGS OF EAGLES ew - finishing off strongly after running a bit green - could be a bit of value ,,, we will know at 430 - good luck to allNavan 1.50 Magic Bear 10/1 win
Derby- Best Solution win/Douglass MacArthur Ew

As MVO'B famously said,if you think you have two Derby colts in your yard,you probably don't have any.
I can't help thinking that if there was any confidence from The Lads in CLIFFS OF MOHER he'd be a much shorter price than 9/2.
Obviously I'm hoping for a Frankel winner!
Did well to weave through to finish fifth. Happy with place money.Edward Lewis 11/1 in the Dash
Has been in good form since jioning the O'Meara yard. He has won nicely twice but the best piece of form was his second to Judicial at Pontefract, who has gone on to bolt up in a good conditions race at Chester. It's a lottery of a race so can't be overly confident.
