Artic Pearl 6/1, had very bad luck in his last race when he came to win and he was badly hampered and unseated rider 2out. Tomorrow comes with the same mark and even though I'm not very confident with the jockey I think he can fight for victory.
 
been a bit of early money for all three Coltherd runners at carlisle , captain black 20 into 8 , achill road boy into 3 and Graystown 20 into 10 , got to be fancied for placing ......hope C Hills has a big day on the heath !<cheers>
 
E 235 Mountain of Mourne 20/1 should be able to grab a place at least, at this weight and 365 offering 4 places (other bookies are available).
 
4 modest e/w patents for me today.

Van Beethoven
Sinfonietta
Take the helm

Major Jumbo
Scales
Teescomponents Lad

Mahler Lad
Floramoss
Sandhurst Lad

Speak Easy
Nessun Dorma
Witness of Fashion

Was a toss up between Chiefofchiefs and Sinfonietta, as I've backed both in the past and both have delivered.
Might have to have a single e/w on Chief as well.
 
Having a little play on Cheque En Blanc in the 2.35 at Exeter.
In the Newmarket opener, despite my myopic choice in the compo ( Appleby/Buick, come on ... ) I think Robsdelight could spring a surprise, even though it has drifted quite a bit.
In that Mullins versus Elliott race at Fairyhouse (5.50), Morgan could represent a bit of value.
Finally, at Carlisle, I would have hoped Chicago Lady could be a good prospect in the opener, on C&D form, but the market is saying otherwise; maybe a watch there, or perhaps a small play.

Best of luck to all who play.

Ballistic in the 3.00 at HQ looks well over priced from a smart family, trainer excels in this sphere a jacks on the nose.
 
Favs through the card at Newmarket! As its my birthday (and Vicky Beckhams!) hopefully the betting gods are kind! Good luck all!
Happy birthday young man

Exeter 2.00 BENECHENKO

Point and bumper winner not gone on as expected but pair of decent placed efforts at end of last year when runner up to White Moon(earned rating of 135)and then 3rd behind 140 rated Shannon Bridge.Also produced another solid effort at Fakenham back in February when 2nd to the talented Whiskey In The Jar.Takes on a decent pair here but receives 11lb from them.
 
Only two for me today. Achill Road Boy at Carlisle but I've also taken an EW chance on Plutonian - got pretty good odds on it this morning as he's not fancied on soft ground and is among some decent company. It's perfectly suited to the mile trip, though. Odds too generous for me not to nibble.
 
Exeter 3.10 ROYAL PALLADIUM @ 7/1

Last win came here in November 2016 off mark of 122.Produced another good effort here last November off 125 when 3rd,2 1/2l behind a fair sort in Ask The Weatherman.Had a three month break and soft ground suits.Both trainer/jockey in good recent form and first time cheek pieces fitted.

Also reverse forecast with Ballyheigue Bay who reverts to fences for first time since November 2016 and has an entry in the grade 3 Bet365 Gold Cup.
