Zaidpour very good today. Don't know what to make of that horse- seems to be well beaten at the very top end but then beats some quality animals today. Monksland has disappointed me a little there to be honest, but when you consider that was just his 5th hurdles run, beating Voler La Vedette and So Young is obviously a good run. Didn't pick up as I thought he would but I do think he will be better on quicker ground, so I hope they do aim him at the Champion Hurdle.
Hello lads. Missed the action today through a trip to the dreaded IKEA. Only fancied Jezki and Our Girl Sally so it would have been up and down. Might have a few dollars e/w on Bangonform at 12/1 in the 3.10...consistent sort who was running well LTO until uprooting the third last. GL all.
............ and a little e/w on JP's horse in the bumper - All Day Long, a Sadlers Wells gelding out of a Be My Native mare
a good day's racing but slightly frustrating with some fields reduced by so many runners it made my picks very chancey. such is life now and again. even voler la vedette didn't come up trumps. quite pleased with give us a hand though coming 2nd, was 12/1 last night. i had some wins just by the law of averages but i hadn't selected them for a bet well done those who picked winners today
ARVIKA LIGEONNIERE was a second and a half quicker than Hattons Grace winner Zaidpour over C&D. How impressive is that? a novice chaser running that much quicker than G1 hurdlers.
