Weekend Racing

Lady Buttons seems a big price at 15/8 with Hills - 6pts win.
If it goes to 2's or more at some point then I'll back again.

Calipto 16-1 2pt & Ravenhill 10-1 2pt for the Skybet.

Great call on Lady Buttons
 
Ronald Pump vs Carefully Selected.
I'd imagine both would 'like' to win this race today.
The form of there respective races this season so far look similar, allbeit Ronald made a pretty bad mistake the last day and other errors.
There hurdles marks are close also.
And The Pump gets 6lb today.
We know the target for CS and winning today is not a priority (getting round in the first four is).

So on that basis, 9-4 The Pump. 6pts.
The prices are wrong.
The risk is him having a poor round of jumping trying to follow CS who may lead and get into a rythym.
But there's always a risk.
 
7/2 CS, Stormy Ireland and Big Getaway. Playing on my mind CS might just qualify and be cautious. Other side of me says he will put out a very bold statement and win well! Decisions, decisions!
 
Going to chance Laurina now declared.
If it weren't for that last run when she bled.
She'd be odds on against these, all be it, they'res a few in the race that have potential.
@ 2-1 I'm happy to go 5pts.

Eldorado Allen will get 2.5pts win at 3-1 also.
Think Call me lord needs to go left handed (100% record), and he's lost loads going right handed :highly_amused:
Seriously though, 3-1 in a match race is worth a pop.
 
Going to chance Laurina now declared..

Not worth having some (more ?) on for Cheltenham before tomorrow ?
Price will surely go if she wins well...

Got enough on already, when sky went 12-1 NRNB.
Took a while for most to twig what value that could be.
Not 100% convinced on her to go more.
 
Third reserve, but one is willies, and he has others in the race.
The ground drying should mean some come out.
But NRNB if not.
10pts win Cabaret Queen 6-1
 
Serious racing today, these are the days to savour as a NH fan.

Sandown
1.50 Quel Destin 7/1 win and 13/8 top 2 finish
2.25 Vision Des Flos 7/1 win and 2/1 top 3 finish
3.00 Equineur 20/1 ew
3.35 Mr Malarkey 10/1 ew and Cloudy Glen 7/1 ew

Weth
2.45 Dominateur 3/1 win

Musselburgh
2.05 Sebastopol 11/2 ew
3.15 SumkindofKing 10/1 ew

Good luck all
 
Does anyone know why we have stupid race times like 1.38pm?
 
To be fair how many races start on time? it’s just a bit more realistic!
 
The racing is rubbish tomorrow.

Discuss? :highly_amused:
 
Is Nube Negra entered or likely to race at Cheltenham?
 
Just the one for me today.

This is maybe overly simplistic but I like The Bannerkingrebel in the Betfair hurdle. I tend to always back a novice in this and comes out well at the weights from the Haydock race.

10/1 5 places appears very reasonable to me.

I'm going to back that this morning too.
Already backed ciel de neige.
 
Took a flyer on Zanza too at a huge price
