Livius Cheltenham
Summery justice Bangor
Over and out

Slattsy

Never got sucked into the Wonderful Charm hype, so i fully expect Oscar Whisky to win the opener tomorrow.

I also like the look of Prince of Pirates. Think he could be the one to really be better than his current mark, and seems to go well fresh. (look at his bumper win, ridiculous!!)

Chicago Grey in the Cross Country now that he has a decent jockey on board.

Might go in hard on Garde La Victoire in the last, looks a cracking race but i really really like this horse.

UrbanSea

There is one I really do like each way tomorrow at Dundalk. But I'm going to be greedy and make sure I get the best price in the morning before letting ye know. :cool:

3ndahalfof6

Just gona point out a couple that might be over looked,

CHELTENHAM 1:40 GLENCREE , conditoins and distance should suit, while seeming to struggle in this grade, best foot forward can win or at worse place at 33/1 could be a we sweetner.

BANGOR-ON-DEE 1:20 RAPIDOLYTE DE LADALKA, I am thinking this could be the distance for this animal, if the ground dries up slightly it will suit big time, @ 11/1 there is value to be had.

My Yankee for tomorrow.

Hit The Headlines 5/1 1.05 Cheltenham

Uhlan Bute 4/1 1.40 Cheltenham

Prince Of Pirates 5/1 2.10 Cheltenham

Ballyalton 9/4 3.45 Cheltenham


Have also left some powder dry for Urban's Dundalk coup.....

1.40 Cheltenham- Uhlan Bute NAP
Had a very good run last week in Sandown where it stayed on but just couldnt reach winner. Given Venetia's form at this time of year and her record in big handicaps Im expecting a big run

12.30 Cheltenham- No bet. But in the match I would choose Wonderful Charm.

1.05 Cheltenham- Hit the Headlines N.B.
Been tipped in a few places tonight and given Elliott's ability at placing horses in England Im convinced it has a good chance.

2.40- Chicago Grey
Ran quite well on its debut run over this course in October, staying on into 5th after a bad mistake at the 21st. No Balthazar King in the field this time, I feel he has a strong strong chance granted luck in running.

3.45- Garde La Victoire
Short price but he did beat Gone Too Far well the last day. King gave a strong write up for GTF in his stable tour thus the form looks strong.

rossom

Fully expect Wonderful Charm to beat Oscar Whisky. The way he has been finishing off his last two races, he looks tailor made for the RSA but the 2m5f with a steep hill should be fine.

With regards to Chicago Grey, I'd be a bit wary because off a mark of 141 he should have no problem getting into the Cross Country at the festival but surely picking up a few lbs for winning would severely hinder his chance. Given how Elliot has campaigned him over hurdles a lot in the last few seasons, I'd be a bit surprised if he won tomorrow as March is clearly his big day.

1.05 Cheltenham

Finger On The Pulse 33/1

Finger On The Pulse 33/1 looks an absolutely huge price here. Now rated 125, the 2008 Jewson hero is getting on in years now a 12 year old but you only have to look back to the summer for form that would give him a belting chance in this. A winner off a 2lb lower mark of 123 at Stratford at the start of July, Finger On The Pulse put in another couple of belting performances when 3rd in the Betfair Summer Plate Listed Handicap at Market Rasen and a good finish in 2nd beaten 1L off 6lb higher marks of 131 on his next two starts and a replication of any of those efforts should see him go very close. Since then he didn't run too badly in decent contests off marks of 132 and 131 at Market Rasen and Cheltenham respectively but he's got a bit to prove having been pulled up on his last two starts. The handicapper has relented, however, dropping him 6lb and off a mark of 125 he would definitely have a big chance if bouncing back which he has done before seemingly out of the blue. The class act in the field in terms of rating, James Huxham's 8lb claim off top weight is a big help in this Conditional Jockeys Handicap and returned to the C+D of his career highlight I think 33s is miles too big a price.

rossom

I find it quite hard to evaluate his form but I can't not have a bet on 2.40 Cheltenham Quercy De Manoir 16/1. Trainer/owner Jean-Paul Gasnier sends his 9 year old across from France for this Cross Country handicap chase and having just squeaked in with a featherweight of 10 stone with jockey G Cottreau (ridden him once; no clue about him otherwise) claiming 7lb he has to carry absolutely no weight at all on his back (RP reports jockey's lowest weight of last year 10-1 but that could be way off) over this mammoth 3m7f trip. Seemingly a horse with quite an affinity for Cross Country races, Quercy De Manoir landed two such events in France at big prices over the summer and although it is very difficult to quantify his form I'd be fairly surprised if he didn't have a big squeak off 115 with such a low weight for what is the trainers first runner in the UK as I just can't see why he'd waste the trip if he didn't feel he had a big chance, especially as he owns him. As I said, a punt in the dark with regards to his form but at 16/1 and off 9-7 (if the jockey can do the weight) he certainly intrigues me enough to have a bet on him today.

Yep he was attrocious..he is a handicapper..he is handicapped..
He is handicapped enough to win today and will return to being completely handicapped after today

Have had a good punt each way on Copper Dock at 9/1 in the 8.15. A course and distance winner last year off 75(i think this very race) he was also beaten a fifth of a length off 77. Returned after a break and hasn't shown a whole lot in some very hot handicaps under a claimer, but he has dropped big time in the weights. Ran behind some of these last time off a mark of 62, but he was drawn way out in 14 and had to come wide. Didn't seem to travel bad but wasn't asked for maximum effort once he was beaten.

Dropped two pounds for that, he has a twelve pound swing with the winner from the last day and with Joseph up he could well be much closer given he isn't drawn in the car park tonight. He is seriously well handicapped.

I have taken the 5/1 about Hilary in the 6:45pm at Dundalk. Back over 1 mile I genuinely can't see us being out of the first 3 on the basis of her second to last run. I think it's fair to say she did not get the trip last time. I think 5/1 is too big and that she will be shorter later so I will be laying off a bit of it at 4/1 or less.

I've been following Hilary for a while but starting to lose faith, was nowhere in her last run.

One that pops out at me is Back Burner in the 5:25 @ Wolves
The change of trainer to D.O'Meara is significant,
I think O'Meara is a smart trainer on a upward curve and knows what he is doing by bringing BB to Wolverhampton for the first time.
It's S H James only ride of the day.
Well fingers crossed anyways, @ 7/1 in some offices I think I will have another little flutter but this time on the nose
;-)

Through the RP app with William Hill money back as a free bet if second on a channel four Cheltenham race today.

Only one bet for me today...duke of lucca 2.10 chel.

jimjamcos

Didn't see the race but yikes, Up and Go could only finish 4th in a 5 horse race at Bangor there when 6/4 fav (backed from 2/1). Dunno how anyone in their right mind could back McCain's horses. His list of disappointing horses is growing rapidly.

Looking for value 2day martin cash looks to have a sporting chance in 2.50 d.p
hold em cowboy will be short but @ 20/1 bit of 25/1 around martin cash looks to have a good e.w chance in a poor race. ran much better than finishing place sugests last time out over hurdles.


ice apple looks nailed on to be placed in 1.30 swell
brutal race j long likes a tipple at the ring and jimmy quinn eyecatching

happy punting

I know the weight probably beat him today but really think Wonderful Charm is made for the RSA. Travels well, jumps economically and stays, stays, stays. He's not slow but I'd be very fearful that he'd get done for toe by an Oscar Whiskey type (namely Felix Yonger) come business end of the Jewson.

I'd like to see Wonderful Charm win over 3 miles on a stiff track before backing him for the RSA. Jumps great but still has to prove his stamina over the trip imo.

Yea, maybe. I'd like to see him at least tried over trip though.

Red not blue 3.15 Chelt .
Has his ground and small respite from hanicapper 20/1

Fair play to Ryan Mahon.
Did well to win that on Sire Collonges.
Others might have downed tools when they dropped back through the pack like that.

Sickener for me though - I was on the 2nd

Holy Moses, just seen that Diamond King was also beaten by a 20/1 and 10/1 shot @ 2/7! :eek: I'd lay, lay, lay any future McCain shorties if I was on Betfair.


Really like Ballyalton in the next but trip's a slight worry so watching brief.

Also fav in the bumper in Bangor was backed into 8/11 from circa 6/4 beaten 2nd.
It's a really interesting race alright. I think ballyalton might be the best horse but I think the trip will do him. I like Garde le Victoire for it.

Diamond King was almost certainly going to win, but ploughed into the last.
Was brought to a virtual standstill - remarkable that the jockey managed to stay on.

McCain also had a winner earlier.
I'd treat his runners with caution, but not sure I'd blindly lay them.
