    Check out the ten year trends and see how many times he has won the feature races at the Curragh today.

    Very rare I have a bet on a Sunday but I like the look of Neola 6/1 e.w up at Leicester 3.45pm.

    Drops in class, good jockey booking and with rain around ground likely to get softer.This will definitely suit the horse and this is Channons only runner here today.

    I think the horse will adapt to Leicester well with its up hill finish. Can see Neola staying on at the end of this sprint....

    Interesting that the AOB fav is friendless and all the money seems to be for their second string, the filly, So Perfect (14/1).

    Whilst I respect Freddie Head, I simply cannot see With You beating Alpha Centauri. Jessica Harrington’s filly is the best miler in Europe and I expect her to collect another Group 1 unless this somehow turns into a farcical sprint and Colm O’Donoghue is not awake to that possibility. It would be unwise to rely on Success Days setting off at a pace for Romanised, so he may have to make his own running like last time.

    I expect there to be a short-priced double on the Deauville card as Zarkava’s Frankel daughter Zarkamiya ought to continue her progression in the Prix Minerve. Whether they have lofty ambitions such as the Prix Vermeille remains to be seen as this is only a Group 3.

    Back on these shores, there is very little to appeal to complete an uninspiring weekend...

    Desperately hoping someone texts me something as the only thing I can find that I think will win is favourite Bullingdon in the Windsor 4:00.

    Martyn Meade saying there is no way Advertise will get beat. Strong words with AOB record in the race.

    hi fellas! hope,youre well.

    downpatrick,2 05:

    although AGUSTA GOLD has burned punters fingers the last twice,she has by far the best form here,and if taking to this unique track,can get the job done..

    downpatrick,2 40:

    a tricky race,as theres not much between them all on current form,but POLITICAL POLICY has at least a course and distance win to his name,which counts a lot here,and he looks very progressive too.so,big chance..

    so,lets have a look at the jaques le marois now:

    i ll keep it simple,i am a big fan of ALPHA CENTAURI,and if she gets the breaks there,as well as good ground hopefully,she ll be tough to beat. has done nothing but improve this season,and deserves to win another big one..

    wow!!! what a great filly she is!!absolutely stunning performance.skys the limit,it seems.

    downpatrick,5 30

    not much form to go on,and these bumpers sometimes bring up strange results,so i take a chance on an outsider inYOUKNOWWHATIMEAN.i like this yard,and his last run wasnt devoid of promise in third,and the winner could be useful..
