Missing Bitchy for this.


Not overly inspired today.

I have permed the Moore runners at Sandown and added capitaine as a Suoreme bet.
 
although i have Death Duty to win any race at Cheltenham i'm backing Augusta Kate on sunday to turn him over. 2.4m may be on the sharp side for AK, but the race will take some getting.
 
Nothing really catches my eye today. I've thrown a few quid on Court By Surprise at 25/1 for old times sake.

On another topic, did anyone catch ITV Racings The Opening Show? I really enjoyed it and it was far superior to The Morning Line in my opinion. Loved it!
 
Have gone with Capitaine at Sandown. Beat some good horses at Ascot. Found some money in an old sky bet account for Supreme too which was a nice surprise.

Dynaste is polarising opinion - gone at game or and old fashioned plot ? Is it wet enough for Venetia's today ?

It was good - features are top class.
 
Nichols thinks a lot of Capitaine but seems quite negative today because of the ground, if he wins today under that cloud he has to be a live contender at the fez, I have decided to just watch him today but have backed him for the supreme
 
Looked like capitaine hated that ground, I did bk him aswell for supreme maybe he could turn it round on better surface.
 
Capitaine lost a lot of momentum at second last - might jump better on better ground.
 
Kempton fields a bit small for the ew player but have backed Ms Williams horse in the Lanzarote.

A few for an interest at punchy

Arkwrisht @ 12/1
Riverside City @ 6/1
Ros Brin @ 16/1
Trixie, 4 bets E/W
 
I thought Captain Chaos was a big price at Warwick.
I was at Ascot when he had his first run for 9 months and tried to kick one out the ground but only had 6 runs to date and clearly still learning.
Stepping up in trip he needs to prove he stays but I'm not sure this one should be around 10s.
Shame only 7 go...
 
Just taken 11/1 Sego Success though 12/1 available if you are a Sid James account holder.
This one was very well fancied for this race last year but hit the deck at the second, went off 7/1 for that and was rated 146 at the time, his form has been a little in and out but he comes here off the back of two runs so has no fitness issues and is dropped to 140.
Also, crucially, I noted Hutch was declared for this on Tuesday.

The blue across the board suggests there'll be some Pricewise comment in tomorrows bible
 
One at Punchy tomoz that took my eye at Tramore last time out is Flysini, the jockey was hard at work on the run to the first in that race but he kept on in a big field and finally got the hang of things finishing faster than anything to run into 5th place. Big price tomorrow but could be worth a couple of quid ew if he learned as much as I hope from his last run
 
A small bit on Ted's novice at the prices

Followed in on sego
 
Flynsini @ 16/1
Riverside City @ 6/1
Any Second Now @ 7/1
Sego Success @ 11/1
Modus @ 10/1
Super Yankee, 26 bets * £1.00 E/W

pays over 200k
 
Sunday Fairyhouse 3.00pm
Ballyoisin to turn over the Mullins hotpot
 
Modus is one of your cliff horses mayo ?
 
Anyone think Old Guard is overpriced?

Yep, I've backed him at 28/1.
Ran flat at Haydock and in the International, obviously worried about the distance but maybe that's what he needs now ?

Also backed Will o the west in that race....
