You never hear from anyone for ages because all the people you know are involved in flat racing. Then up pops a mate with a Saturday tip... so you go and look at the race and what do you find? Imperial Cup (Sandown 2:25) – BENNY’S BRIDGE It appears to be 8lb out of the handicap given that the horse rated 135 carries 10st 1lb and it carries 10st with a 126 rating. If it goes in, I can play with the bookies’ money next week! Have to say that a cursory inspection of the race would have led me to Monsieur Lecoq, on a hat-trick with the lad taking some of the excess weight off.
Extra Mag knocked a joint overnight apparently, pulled out with a vets cert. still in the County Hurdle but can’t see him running.
Hope Benny does the business today, but coupile of other decent price chances today , Delir D’desruval 6/1 4 10 sandown , in form pauling and jacob , has a good chance at the weights and right handed track . Roman River 7/1, 8 00k , had a pipe opener in a listed event recently, yard in form , this task much easier , drawn well and all set for winning run !
Benny really is up against it. 17lb up here from his Cheltenham win. Fergal isnt one to tilt at windmills so he must think there is some serious improvement to come. Henderson has seriously spoilt his chance by leaving the topweight in......maybe a tactic? WHITEHOTCHILLIFILLY in the bumper but dissapointing the Irish havent sent over their usual strong team for the race.
Happy Birthday, Karlos! 13:40 Hereford - Cuban Pete e/w (Might improve today on the slightly better ground than he has experienced so far? Took the 9/1 with Laddies.)
big ask carrying a Stone more than last time ! surely too much ! I suppose they entered him hoping he wouldn’t be out the hcap , valuable race ......
Good morning lads, lads, lads and everybody Sanders 1-50 Before Midnight - a trappy race but a good price for a Hendo horse 2-25 Monsiuer LeCoq - I agree with Woolley about this one. Chester Williams will be putting up 2lb over but I believe he is more than that superior to Benny (sorry Nass) And Call me Lord is just to high in the weights for what promises to be a slog 3-00 Whitehotchillifilli 3-35 Commodore NAP - gone up a chunk in the handicap, but still a long way to go imo Wolves 2-05 Pactolus - pinsticker 3-15 Island of Life - likewise I am back at the hospital this afternoon having a cast on a fractured metacarpal, so recording and watching later. Good luck all
Get well soon mate. Wondering if Newland has Katpoli ripe today. I like the horse but he dissapointed last time and is a drifter today. My old mate Michael has his horses running in prime form at the moment and his NOBLE DEED (33/1) is off an all time low mark in the opener this evening.
If you fancy monsiuer lecoq you’ve got to give our merlin a look beaten last time but in receipt of weight to the selection 33/1 just sayin .
He’s got an entry for the supreme? If he wins today and goes on to win the supreme, that’ll be the biggest plot ever.im thinking eyes right could be the dark horse in this bumper. Everything in the field has something to find on silver streak, or do they?
Just one for me today. Chinensis in the last at Hereford. Has been backed into favouritism this morning and think he should win. Good luck all
