2.05

RUSSIAN WAR 40/1 , PETTIFOUR 40/1 & SCOTSBROOK CLOUD 100/1

Looks incredibly open but I think at least one of these three outsiders can make the frame. Gordon Elliott's RUSSIAN WAR is an old friend of mine and had a tremendous season last year notching up 6 wins over hurdles, including one at Cheltenham. He created a fantastic impression winning at Aintree and followed up that win a really, really impressive win off a mark of 135 at Ayr where he won on the bridle. After this, Elliot sent this 9 year old chasing but he really didn't take to it and lost a lot of confidence. Since reverting back to hurdling, he put in a much improved performance without looking the horse of old off a mark of 149 over C+D back in October and after being pulled up on his last start he's had a 5 month break which should freshen him up (has a good record fresh). Although he'll have to put in a career best performance to win this off a mark of 147, I certainly think he is capable and if the first time application of cheekpieces work I can see him going close at what looks a very overpriced 40/1

PETTIFOUR is a 10 year old from the Nigel Twiston Davies yard who has good course form and could well have been laid out for this race. He came a very good 2nd at the track back in November of 138 and I think he may have had this race in mind (probably like so many others) for quite a while. Tomorrow he races off a mark of 143 which certainly doesn't seem beyond him and the trainers son Willie takes off a very valuable 7lb to give him an effective handicap rating of 136. If the application of first time blinkers bring about some improvement, I see no reason why Pettifour can't at least outrun his odds and hopefully win.

My last selection is the outsider of the entire party in the shape of David Evans 7 year old SCOTSBROOK CLOUD and I don't understand why he's such a massive price. As a 6 year old, he was highly progressive winning twice and finishing 2nd three times in his 7 starts in this sphere which culminated in a decent 2nd off a mark of 135. The form of that race looks strong with the winner putting in a great effort on his only subsequent start off a 7lb higher mark and the 3rd winning off a 7lb higher mark subsequently. After a 5 month absence, Scotsbrook Cloud was pulled up on his last start but that was on heavy ground which didn't suit at all and I'm willing to ignore that effort. Off a mark of 137 tomorrow, if he's improved from a 6 year old to a 7 year old I see no reason why he won't be able to defy this mark in the future and with jockey Michael Byrne taking off 5lb tomorrow he gets into the race as joint bottom weight off just 10-1. Although he could easily be outclassed, his trainer is in very good form at the moment and I've certainly see way worse 100/1 shots in my lifetime.

I stuck it in the tips thread the horse is The Baler.
20/1 tho has put me off but the jockey is good.

its from a reliable source but at 20/1 make your own mind up.

l've done it.

GampDub

Looks to me like Sir De Champs is gonna get a lot of people off to a good start or else ruin a lot of bets early doors!

I'm starting to worry about him now but not sure who else to go with!!!!

I love this sport, no other sport in the world does this to you

Slattsy

Just back from PP, here's my bets for the day :

1.30 - Sir Des Champs (dont fancy PC at all)
2.05 - Sonofvic (very good hurdle form and 2l second to Grand Crus over fences, bombed last time and back of hurdles, laid out for this race)
2.40 - Somersby (last win received a big boost)
3.20 - Oscar Whisky (money back if he's 2nd to BB, bet to nothing)
4.00 - Niceonefrankie (unexposed and improving even though big step up in class, but should be involved in the finish)
4.40 - No bet yet, couldnt decide between a handful, will go in before the off and see if there's money for anything.

Cheers. Looks good to me.

Beat Mr Goodenough on good ground at Punchestown last summer and that horse has won twice since.

Morrisseeee

Today is a tough one ! so.............you'll either relish it (& look for big e/w winners/doubles etc), or stay clear of it & kep your money in your pocket.

The Ryanair looks like being super competitive, and should provide a close finish.

I like Pettifour, as has been mentioned, his trainer has his own website & also sings his praises, fingers/toes/dockets crossed anyways !

today is such a meh day... I still miss the old three day format.

Have PetitFour EW with Faller Insurance.

Also an EW double of Oscar Whisky and Sir Des Champs

leggit

Peddlers will do the business in the first, Sir Des Champs isn't in his league.

Was a bit worried a few days ago considering he got beaten very well by Sprinter Sacre but after seeing what SS did on Tuesday I feel a lot better about PC now.

busyliving

First flutter of the festival...

1.30 Champion Court
2.05 Pineau de Re
2.40 Albertas Run

Have them all back each way on an accumulator...
