Timmies Gone 20/1

Timmies Gone looks well worth a bet today. Keiran Burke's 7 year old looks a fascinating contender, like so many of the trainers horses. With a career in P2P comprising of 8 races in that sphere culminating in 2010, Timmies Gone joined his current yard and has had 5 races under rules to date. For Burke, he has competed in 4 Chase events between a distance of 2m6f and 3m2f to pretty much no success and also a selling hurdle on his last start which represent his debut over the smaller obstacles. Dropped back to 2m3f, Timmies Gone ran in a selling hurdle where I thought he didn't acquit himself too badly at all. Despite jumping a little patchy, he showed a likeable attitude to stay on towards the finish after falling back to 4th as he rallied to finish 3rd.

Although hardly a strong level, this gelding's handicap mark of 92 looks lenient enough. He carried 7lb more than the 4th that day who is a 98 rated horse and also carried a stone more than 2nd who is also 98 (was 14L clear that day). Today, he is stepped up in trip to 2m4f which I definitely think should suit. Moreover, first time blinkers and tongue tie are added to Timmies Gone which potentially signifies that he's going to be trying hard for the victory today. Nick Scholfield, who took the ride LTO, is on again today as he looks to maintain his fantastic record of 3 wins from 5 rides for Burke. With the ease in the ground also looking set to help, Timmies Gone looks to have a good chance in my eyes and it wouldn't surprise me at all if he won this in decent style.

Into 14/1 with Totesport and 16/1 with PP

One I fancy today is Shadrack - Ayr 435 - about 4/1

5 horse race, the front 2 in the betting harshly (i.m.o.) reassessed following low grade novice hcap chase wins and will do well to win off their new marks, the 2 rags havent been in any sort of form.

True, the selection was also reassessed after a nov hcap win 3 runs back but (a) it was only 3lbs in his case and (b) he has already been competitive off his new mark since then.

Next Best - Ballybanks Southwell 540 - again around 4/1

This one ran out of steam last time on chase debut after being clear, and gets another chance here off the same mark of 83.

7 pound claiming amatuer jockey tempers confidence somewhat however.

Bath 6.00 - Redair

Has been going well on the A/W but back on the turf today, hopefully it can continue the good run.

I like two at Wexford. Galianna in the handicap hurdle, and Come to the Party in the 3mile handicap hurdle

I like the look of Galliana and Caheronaun at Wexford this evening.
Both should give good accounts of themselves.

Had a good tip for Broadway Twist in the bumper in Wexford

Letherbelucky 7.50 wexford. A share in this mare was the prize for the racing post xmas competition. I didnt win it unfortunately but will still keep an interest in how it does.
