What a great horse!

second aint bad either

Hi guys. Apologies for coming into this thread and shamelessly spamming... But I want to let all you racing enthusiasts know about the amazing value pool we have open at www.stakesandladders.com. It is called the Lucky 7 To Follow and is sort of like fantasy football, but for racing. Pick one horse from each of the 7 categories and then score points through the season based on how well each horse does. It is £1 to enter and we have guaranteed the prize pool at £1000. Currently there is almost a 300% overlay with less than a day left till the pool closes for entry. So for £1 you get a fun sweat throughout the jump season, and the chance to win a nice chunk of money for just a quid. And the overlay means you'll be getting great value even if you just shut your eyes and pick blind

My biggest bet of the day was Knight of Noir, which I also had in a forecast with Cup Final (you know, just in case it came second...)

Cheltenham have been trying to get the paddy power moved earlier because of the farce they had in the 14:25 today where they omitted nearly half the fences and it totally changed the race. Clear skies/low sun tomorrow and it will have to favour the the bad jumpers/ better flat speed horses. Oscar whiskeys chances have to improve if it becomes a flat race and less a jumping test.

Not often you see the cesaewitch winner face off against the grand national winner either

Got it slightly wrong today, had Urban Hymn to win and had it in a a win double with Parlour Games.

Wasnt suited by them turning the race into a bumper

Creepy looks like a decent value-shout in the 1.15pm at Chelters especially @ the 6/1 on offer in one spot.

Corals have Luke Morris at 7/2 to be allweather champ. Hes a class act on AW tracks but would ride a shetland pony if someone paid him so his strike rate is terrible. The thing is he rode 150 more times then his rival kirby last time and only 3 jockeys will ride enough to be competitive (morris, kirby, fanning- riding less then 400 would probably be unfeasable, fanning wont ride enough either imo). He can also ride off way lower then kirby.

Kirby is a worthy favourite just think its much closer to a match then morris a 7/2

Morris started fast again today (2 winners) got a few more chances. Needs to build up a cushion and is doing it. Coral only market at 2/1 now. Kirby abroad

was taken with isabella liberty that runs in the 12:45. No real markets up but nicholls horse will be fancied so should be an ok price and think she is one to watch

2.10 Brighton Birdie Queen  10/1  I've been on the lookout for Hector crouch's rides at Brighton where he seems to do very well with a 7lb claim, though maybe just a blip based on a small sample.  (possible theory: association with Moore family getting good pointers on how to ride there ??)  I've been more or less backing his rides here blind where they appear to have any sort of a chance - Birdie Queen is a course and distance winner with a piece of soft ground form, though unproven on heavy ground. At this price I'm happy to have a small e/w bet and hope there's not too many more non-runners.

Hector Crouch has another nice priced winner today 3.50 Kempton Gaelic Silver. I'ld backed this morning and had drifted out to SP 12-1. Ride and jockey covered (deservedly imo) in pretty glowing terms in commentary.
Not meant to be aftertimey, but to suggest again he is worth having in your tracker for the future. I will try and post here upcoming rides with half decent chances.
He has another ride tonight in the 6.55 as the 20-1 outsider of 6 which you couldn't really fancy, and another three rides at Kempton tomorrow, that I haven't looked at yet.

Reports of Sire de Grugy out for rest of the season, 5/2 on Sprinter Sacre will not last surely, although still a skinny price. Any thoughts from the experts?

8pm tonight, Sky Sports 4

Racing Legends, Gary Newbon interviews Jonjo O'Neill, Peter Scudamore & John Francombe.

shame there isnt a distinct clear 3rd favourite. Tingle creek winner will probably be the value. (whatever backed back to win CC aswell).

cant help feeling if sacre was going to be the horse he was we would have seen him by now?

He looks tidy and did well to not give away the ease of victory but gaelic silver wins that race with anyone on from the video. Other one was 10lb out of the handicap and just there to claim place money.

Top diktat isnt without a chance tomorrow
