    I see that the good doctor Marwan Koukash has a few horses switching over from Fahey to Ian Williams. It looks like a few of his other entries have also had a change of stable. Anyone read anything on this and know what's going on?

    Sure Reef and Reshotfillypeppers for a nice double. Pays 3.51

    Didn't read anything but judging from this article, seems like he moves them about. Williams was once top dog with him but was reduced to zero horses in 2014

    I doubt the 7% strike rate with Fahey for 2016 helped in the decision either. Think this could be worth watching out for, a lot of well handicapped horses are going to be turned out.

    1:50 at Newbury looks a cracking little novice hurdler and my eye just can't help but be drawn to Gordon Elliot's horse Baltazar D'allier who ran a mightly impressive debut at Naas. Despite clattering the second last that time, Mark Walsh gave it one shake and it went off like a rocket it uphill in testing Naas conditions. Some of the horses it has already beaten in its only two races have looked decent, so considering the way in which this won, there is still plenty to give with this horse and if the jumping holds up then it surely has a cracking chance tomorrow at 4/1.

    Look at the money coming in for Mount Brandon in the 12:45, then take a look at the rotten form. Probably goes off tomorrow as 5/2 favourite and bolts up.

    doesn't seem to be that much money on him? Never moved from 9/1 on betfair?

    Won't win. You can't get two euros on the night before and this lot certainly wouldn't have their money down the night before.
    His other horse Donnellan is far more interesting and was a massive eyecatcher last time in his first handicap. He has excellent point form but they might just give him one more spin tomorrow before pulling the trigger. Saying that I'm chancing him and will back him in the morning.

    Also not their style. JP likes his horses to have a couple of runs in handicaps before they are off. You can safely lay this one!!

    What's the view on Realt Mor at Punchestown tomorrow. Going back over hurdles and looks like off a decent mark.

    Not for me. An 11 year old going back over hurdles. Will get done for toe.
    I know the jockey is hopeless but hard to believe they have not been messing with Herminator up to now. Think it will go close tomorrow at 7/1.

    That horse has up to 20 lbs in hand but if you look at his other races, the jockey just isnt able to let him know he needs to speed up at the end.. Comical

    That said as bad as he is he will never get a better chance to have a double on one card. Maybe today is the day

    Tricky cards today. Chances Financial Climate e w 1.15 Newbury against my usual strict rule of not backing a bleeder. Won this race a few years back and was third in it too. Down to his lowest mark in years he can travel quite poorly and could be hard at work a long way out but might go ok at big odds 25/1. One for a tenner e w not one for the mortgage

    If Ruby was on that horse it wouldn't have lost that race. The horse was a good one to be fair and obviously aimed at the race if the jockey could ride
