    When are the plums that run football going to do something about all the nonsense that goes on at corners!

    Two for me today

    BERTIMONT 4.25 Curragh 28/1. Plenty to find on form but won a handicap like a good horse on his second start for current connections (33/1). Only had two starts on the flat in France and then tried hurdling and chasing. Started off in a grade 2 hurdle for J J Lambe. Worth a chance at the price.

    ADJUSTED 5.35 Curragh 11/8 Good comeback effort when 2nd to subsequent Ballysax winner Fascinating Rock at Leopardstown. O'Brien's horses are starting to find some form now and this one should be hard to beat. Comfortably holds Marakoush on Leopardstown form and only has the Dermot Weld newcomer to beat imo.

    Great shouts there fellas, first and second in the sprint.

    Your horse was unlucky Boris, seemed to lose his action!
    Please change your name back!

    Nice performance from the winner, John Oxx cant get a decent horse to save himself these days, same old slow bred Aga Khan second strings.

    McDonogh has turned out average as well, same ride every time from him, I know they had a winner with Qewy but he was gifted the race and everything else theyve run has been well beaten.

    They must be pinning all their hopes on My Titania now because theyve ran all the other decent ones and there has been nothing more than small promise.

    That was a lovely performance from the Weld newcomer.

    There was quite a lot of market confidence behind him in what was a good maiden.

    At least Weld doesn't use the racecourse as a schooling ground,like Ox has done for years,so you always have a chance with his debutantes...Aga Khan has made the right move.

    Well done anyone lifting dollars today..never had a punt,good job as well!
