Bit odd to see Winter Soldier have his first run and possibly lose its novice status today

No idea what to expect today but they have to run him when he's sound and needs to get out. I know 100% that he won his 2 schooling hurdles early last year.
But waiting this long to get out he's had his issues.

Taking the positive view, he's ready to run and will aid the Irish trainers championship in the coming weeks?
 
I like the look of Get Rhythm in the last at Newbury, only concern is jockey form, I like Adrian Heskin but he seems to have been struggling in the last 3 or 4 weeks.
 
Newb 2.10 Oistrakh le Noir - was well touted for a big run at Chelt (was ante post fav/2nd fav) but kept for this, has the look of a smash up at 5/4.
2.05 Bells n Banjos 11/1 ew
3.15 Roksana 9/1 ew

Donc 1.50 Perfect Pasture 5/1 ew
2.25 Original Choice 6/1 ew
3.00 Zabeel Prince
3.35 Addeybb 5/1 ew and Big Country ew if ground not too deep

Good luck to all that play
 
5.40 thurles
Vinnie The hoddie 10/1 ew.
Iv heard a strong word for him a few weeks back. Goes well at home according to Joseph.
 
Having had another look, Carlton Ryan in the 3:25 at Bangor is overpriced for me at 12/1. 1pt ew.
 
RD must have traded short in running Scooby. Thought he had it won jumping 2 out.

She went very short in running. Did think she was going to win however. But the winner just found something extra when rons dream went to the front, which was a shade early if I'm being picky.
No complaints though. And well done if anyone had the winner.
 
how bad is D.Jacob. He is without doubt the most useless t*sser in a saddle. Weak as p*ss in a finish.
 
Lough Derg Farmer looks a bit big at 9/1 with Paddy’s in the 4.50 at Ascot tomorrow.
 
EBF Mares Novice Hurdle
Sunday Fairyhouse.

I think they've priced this race up wrong. Look at the Momella form, 2nd to OTBS etc, Laurina may hose up but beaten nothing at her own age yet Imo.
 
How do you mean beaten nothing at her own age?

Laurina is 5, most of the horses in the Mares Novice at Cheltenham were 5/6as is the case here again

HF,
Brilliant as she was I didn't think she beat anything at the fez. Momella would have been a different kettle of fish. Immaterial now as another flakey Brit trainer has pulled her out.
 
Thrown a few educated darts at meydan tomorrow.

Uae derby.
Sea henge 20/1 ew
A nice sort with very good consistent form to his name has to take to dirt however he deffinately wants this step up in trip more so than his stable mates and on the form book he's well overpriced

Yulong warrior 20/1 ew
Met seahenge in his maiden before moving to Dubai. Has experiance of the dirt some nice Irish form, and he's improved for the step up in trip, needs a positive start from stall 7 but I'm happy to take a chance on a big price for a horse on the incline.

Reride 9/1 ew
Sent over from America won 4 from 5 last time beating a subsequent grade 3 winner. Trainer warrants plenty of respect, hes proven on the dirt and should go very well here.




Al quoz sprint.

Music magnate 14/1 ew
Ran in very strong Australian races, confidence booster last time should go well here.

Conquest tsunami 20/1 ew
On the incline, ertijaal being a NR should help his case here and give a chance to dictate, nice win over stormy liberal last time.

Stormy liberal 40/1 ew.
Won at the breeders cup kept in high company. 2nd to conquest tsunami is no disgrace last time. He stays well just needs to keep tabbs off a strong pace and get a gap. Overpriced imo.

Big runs from 40/1 and 20/1, well done and unlucky at the same time.

He had to switch back and go back around libreeza breeze . If he took The gap he may well have won. The winner got the dream passage through and won well so no excuses.. pretty much went how I thought with conquest tsunami setting a lovely pace and keeping on well for 3rd and stormy liberal kepping tabbs off the pace and powering home
 
Dubai world cup
GUNNAVERRA
9/1 ew without west coast and North america
He's ran at the very highest grade and ran very consistently hed well held by West coast. But West coast and gun runner are extremely good horses and gunnaverra hasn't been given the respect he deserves for his consistency at the highest level and just what tasks he's had infront of him compared to the others. I don't expect him to beat West coast but I don't expect the others to either and he could well be the best of the rest. North america is consistent gets in a good ryhthym anf has gone well at the track in lesser company.
Effectively atleast 4 places for the ew aspect.

************

Ran an awful race.

Thunder snow the horse I'd followed blind all last season duly bolts in.

Good form, consistent. Can improve to be in the reckoning here.
