Just one for myself tomorrow in Farren Glory @ 10/3 in the 13.40 at Leopardstown. I really like this horse, has a nice cruising speed and I hope they go a nice clip as I feel he may well be able to get the better of the odds on favourite here. Think he is a major player for the Supreme in March, hopefully be proved right after tomorrow.
 
Ballyburn 10/11 Wheelbarrow
Double that up with Gaelic Warrior, also 10/11. Roughly 7/2 the double. To me that's better than any single bet I can come up with. But bear in mind I'm one of the World's worst tipsters this season

3.20 Leopardstown Fakir D'Oudairies

I really liked his reappearance run in the December Gold Cup, finishing in the mix despite giving lumps of weight to some well-handicapped rivals. Should come on for that and is the class act in the field.
 
Just 2 left now in the Grade 1 novice chase at Leopardstown - Gaelic Warrior and Fact To File. A nice chance for Willie to do some public schooling of his two best novice chasers and make a decision on which goes Turners and which goes Arkle. We have to hope neither of them steps on a stone or something - a walkover would be terrible for the DRF.

It does make you wonder about the sanity of having the Scilly Isles just a day earlier at Sandown - two almost identical Grade 1s within 24 hours of each other.

Looks like a minefield today but will try pick some nice prices again.

12.40 - Feet of a Dancer
1.10 - Fact to File
1.40 - King of Kingsfield
2.10 - Dinoblue
2.45 - Bob Olinger
3.20 - Inothewayurthinkin
3.50 - Magic Tricks
4.25 - Barnahash Princess

Can see McManus having a right good day today
 
3.20 Leapordstown. Classic Getaway 8/1
Probably one to steer clear from as my money is on it, however, I really do think this horse is better than his last run on heavy ground when a hot favourite at Tramore, so as Swanny would say a podium finish at least. EW.
 
All sorts of rule 4s on that bet now Ron
Does that apply to bets placed the day before Oddy? If so, there should be an option to withdraw the bet because who would risk that double with deductions in a 2 horse race with both from the same stable. I wouldn't

I'm not the expert Ron but I thought any bets on the market formed after final declarations are subject to R4? Final decs for today's Grade 1s was Friday as far as I can recall.

Bloody crooks
 
In the Scottish Supreme Novices' Hurdle (14:25), at Musselburgh, a Class-2 event over an extended 1m7f on good-to-soft (soft-in-places) ground, am hopeful that the Camelot gelding, Panjari, will benefit from wearing first-time cheek-pieces (jumped badly in the past when headgear not applied). Some good novices in this affair. Harry Cobden rides for the crack Paul Nicholls yard.

5/1 best price in many places on ATR at time of writing.
