4:00 Carole's Destrier 6/1 win
4:35 Zalvados 14/1 ew

Ew double aswell
 
Two at Goodwood

4:55 Smokey Lane 5/1win
5:30 My Target 12/1 ew

Ew double aswell
 
Ew thievery option in the Munster National. Kylecrue @ 40/1. A grand old servant who was well beaten by today's 4/1 favourite Black Scorpion a few runs ago. Reopposes on much better terms today and ran well in this race to place previously. I don't know much about the claimer on top but he has a 25% win strike rate over fences (50% place) so he'll do for me. Good luck all.

How much are you going to pay me to leave that Smokey Lane alone?

It looks like a bit of a quirky customer but there are only two or three in the race with any sort of form chance plus last year’s veteran winner.


Keeping an eye on Midi in the 4:20... no reason to think that he wants easy ground as he was well stuffed on debut on it.
 
And one more for me I've just put on whilst in Corals.

4:25 Navan - Ancient Sands 50/1 ew
 
hi folks!

limerick,1 50:

AIR SUPREMACY and getareason have already met this season,where the former was first and the mullins horse third on the day,and while you can expect getareason geting a lot closer today,i still believe,that AIR SUPREMACY will confirm the form today,especially over this longer trip.

chepstow,2 15:

not much form to go on here,like in most of these juvenile events,but many of the big and powerful yards are represented,and the nicholls horse QUEL DESTIN could have a vital experience edge,as he ran already over obstacles in his native france,and that might prove a deciding factor today..

chepstow,2 50:

some very exciting prospects here,and MINELLA AWARDS is surely one of them.his second to low sun last time out at galway looks far better now since yesterday,as that horse has won the cesarewitch!should make a chaser..
 
Lovely ride from Dickie Johnson on Drinks Interval there - really booted her in to a few of those and she responded most willingly. Great to watch <ok>
 
chepstow,3 25: PERSIAN WAR HURDLE

some very promising sorts on show here,and COOLANLY is definitely one them.on his first start,in a bumper,he had a horse called first flow back in 4th,and that horse has progressed into a up and coming sort last season.then he was second to a horse called vinndication,who is just as promising now.so,with those bits of form,has to be highly dangerous today,and goes well fresh,so deffo shout..
 
I decided to have a bet on Temple Church in the 4.20 at Goodwood.

Hughie Morrison's Lawman gelding seems unexposed at this sort of trip and he handles the soft ground. Worse in with the runner up Now Children for winning three lengths last time Temple Church won comfortably to my eyes and I feel he will confirm the form on the new terms.

I feel Temple Church has that little shade of class and he has run in better company than this. A miler in his earlier days, I feel he can do better with the bigger stamina test and stamp his authority.

4/1 is a fair price for me and I'll have a small forecast with Now Children to follow him home.

4.20 Goodwood Temple Church 4/1 should be thereabouts.
 
So far today's bets have performed lousy. I've one bet left which is on TOMBSTONE which I backed first thing this morning and invested again an hour or so ago. I see the likely danger Montibalno has now been backed into odds on. Bigger price for Tombstone then who has beaten Montibalno a few times before.
 
That jump racing is a total lottery, just a complete guessing game. Only a month or so until we are stuck with nothing else.

A winner, yippee. Strange market though, Tombstone was 13/8 on Skybet the other one a shade odds on, then Tombstone goes of EVS Fav. Oh well, at least it's a winner.

Temple Church ran too badly to be true there. My forecast horse Now Children won it easily today and their form was tied closely but Temple Church has run 33 lengths worse than their previous meeting today.

That's the frustrating thing with Horse Racing, you pick the key race for form and then the one you settle on runs like a drain. :headbang:
