In the dash I am concentrating on the 3 horses drawn highest with Boom the Groom the most likely of those to win
 
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.
Pretty happy with this.
Also backed Cliffs of Moher at 6/1.
 
I've sided with Cliffs of Moher, but not with any great confidence. I quite like Olivia Fallow at a price in the Dash, whose trainer seems to like her a lot and is well drawn.

Good luck everyone today.
 
Navan 1.50 Magic Bear 10/1 win
Derby- Best Solution win/Douglass MacArthur Ew
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 all
 
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!
 
Nicely done by Magic Bear there.Clinical Approach caught my eye in 3.00 7/1.Bolger won this race last year and yard are starting to find some winners of late after a slow start to the season.
 
Tartini is after destroying a lot of form for the derby.
Off 95, got the perfect run and finished very poorly.
 
Urban Fox has a decent chance in the next. Her eighth in the guineas doesn't look too bad.
 
As MVO'B famously said,if you think you have two Derby colts in your yard,you probably don't have any.

According to John Gosden, his former pupil, in the Sporting Life in 1994: “As Noel Murless used to say, when you think you’ve got several Derby horses, you haven’t got one.”

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!

I thought that Cliffs Of Moher looked very ill at ease with being continually on the turn at Chester, so I wonder how he will handle Tattenham Corner; and as you say The Lads have not weighed in (yet).

If Best Solution does not win, I hope Frankel levels the British Classic winners account with old rival Nathaniel.
 
EDWARD LEWIS - 12/1 ew for me on the dash

And like Beefy- VENICE BEACH- 14/1 ew for me in the Derby! Cheekpieces worked for Ruler of the World hoping it does the same for him!
 
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.
Did well to weave through to finish fifth. Happy with place money.
 
Backed Permian for this year's Derby with no conviction in my reasoning whatsoever. The more I look through, I think all of them can win it! Seems we have a fair spread of selections for it with none bullish, something has to win the bloody thing after all.
