Poor enough fields for tomorrow ?

have mixed these up

Conas Taoi @ 4/1
Premier Bond @ 8/1
Matorico @ 20/1
Next Sensation @ 16/1
Altesse De Guye @ 9/2
Vosne Romanee @ 9/1
 
Two I've backed mayo

3.35 Splash of Ginge who is way overpriced at 16s, goes well on quick ground and more than capable of getting close to these
4.10 Batavir

Both decent each way plays for me
Good luck !
 
followed ista in on splash of ginge - think Nicholls horses is the one to beat.
 
I'm gonna have a little bet on Bear's Affair at 40/1 in the 3.00. NH had him chasing in the Fest and fell at the 8th, and finally he's not running off top weight over hurdles on good ground.
 
I got told to back Double W's last night as the owners think they will be right in the mix. Also took Matarico in the same race - he ran a promising race at Cheltenham is could run well at a big price.

Doubled both the above with Batavir - my cliff horse

Thanks for the heads up F_M.:encouragement:

Well done with Matarico F_M. :encouragement:

Wow, great work that FM.
Only got back to see Ginge run poorly (though he was backed into 7s) and missed earlier races, 20/1 winners always nice, well done !
 
FM was copying me ;)

two winners two places needed one more for a decent lift...

Tomorrow

Benvolio @ 5/1
Ballyhenry @ 10/1
Kahaleesi @ 13/2
 
I've got 2 for tomorrow.
3.35 Perfect Candidate which is a heart bet more than a head bet but this horse will win a major staying chase in the next year or so, I'm convinced they should have gone for a Scottish National or Whitbread because he could easily win tomorrow and get a 10lb hike which may stop him for a while.
Anyway, 9s e/w decent bet for me

4.10 Long House Hall, extra 3f will suit and he loves the bouncing ground, big field so will need luck but at 7/2 I'm happy having a nice e/w interest
 
Thanks all and well done Mayo :very_drunk:

Nothing catches my eye at Cheltenham tomorrow so I'll keep my powder dry until Ayr this weekend.

I backed Long House Hall at 5/1 and thats about it.

Good effort, I only saw 7/2, looks to be a sustained gamble as 3s best industry price now...
 
Well done lads...FM put up a bit of reasoning for his pick - Mayo just had the scattergun out ;)

Thought Matorico was plotted for something but didnt think it would be yesterday.

Seems to be punt on Rolling Maul in the 4:10 - won on new years day 2015 but not shown much since ?

Missed the price on LHH so will copy Mayo and go with Ballyhenry ;) ew
 
Is Blue Buttons 25/1 worth a punt back on good ground?

I'm not a huge fan of NH Mares races but this one does look to be overpriced goven her performances against the top mares, mo bet for me but wouldn't be shocked if this one went well.
Good luck !
