    TOUT REGULIER 6.40 Stratford 20-1 is in my view a knocking bet tomorrow. Not really taking to chasing last year and subsequently is now back hurdling and has slipped to an extremely attractive mark.
    At Aintree last May she turned a decent looking mares hurdle into a procession when falling at the last with the race in the bag. That was off 112 and she was punished for that (put up to 124) but is now back down to a mark of 115. There is no sign of any regression, she simply isnt as good a chaser as she is a hurdler.
    Richard Johnson takes the ride and although she hasnt been out for 229 days she does go well fresh. Additionally she is a course and distance winner. She wouldnt want ground conditions to ease but the good going predicted is spot on.
    The yard are running to form and Dickie is the "go to" guy.
    She really is stunning value at 20-1.

    Don't really agree with that Stick. She's only had three runs after a break 60 days or longer (one in a PTP) and she was beaten by 57L, 44L and pulled up on these three occasions. However, I agree with everything else you have said and as it is her first run for Tim Vaughan he may be able to ready her better than Bowen. Into 12s now so she's too short for me now but good luck and keep her on side if she doesn't perform tomorrow!

    Stick, your horse is being backed off the old boards and is down to 8/1 now!

    Meanwhile, Perth’s 2 day fixture off (Wednesday & Thursday), people.

    Nothing for me today but that old rogue, Sir Mark Prescott Bt, seems to be going for a few winners today. Will the old rogue succeed in his quest?!? He’s really started to hit form and 4 of his last 6 have obliged.

    May i apologise If i offended you at the weekend you were right i was being a bit of a ****er but it was all light hearted fun to me (probably because of a heavy couple of days on the drink).

    Best of luck with your selection today

    Good morning all, i hope we are fit and well... This must be a hard year for the summer Flat boys so far, what with at least 1 or 2 cards going per week it must be infuriating to say the least...

    Any way we have some racing on today so i will take a look and see if owt is worth a look at...<ok>

    Good Afternoon my last day of my compassionate leave before i return to work tomorrow and there is 3 i fancy from Brighton

    Brighton

    2:15-Scommettitrice-5/1 E/W

    Very Gutsy display when winning over a extended 5f here last week and has been competitive in the past off higher marks than his current one.Under a penalty today but can go close again.



    3:15-Ghost Train-11/2 E/W

    Son of HRE who opened his account in March over 6f on the AW.His 3rd at Beverley last month over the extended 7f is a lot better than it first seems having to overcome a terrible wide draw.Should go very close.



    4:15-Laconicos-9/1 E/W

    a 10 yr old and still a maiden on the Flat but a very genuine tough sort,Was 3rd over C+D last month after trying to make all will once again try and do it wire to wire and can be placed again here.

    and 3 i fancy for tonight at Stratford

    6:10-Reve De Nuit-5/2

    Was a pretty useful handicapper on the flat for Alan Mccabe.Makes his hurdling debut here and the yard are in form.

    6:40-James Pollard-E/W 12/1

    Has been much improved this season winning at Wincanton and twice at Plumpton.Dissapointed the last day but im prepared to give him another chance today and should be in the mix for a place.

    8:10-Paddy The Hare-5/1 E/W

    Won twice at Uttoxeter in first full season over hurdles and has started this year improving on that with placed efforts in handicaps.Now switched to fences sure to run a big race at a attractive price just a shame we dont have the dead 8.


    Have a great day all and one
