Mataajir - Southwell 3:00 (9/2 Paddy Power BOG).

Interesting race see Mataajir drop down to a mark that it hasn't been at since it was a two year old. Ran at Southwell only two weeks ago and finished 4th over the same distance it's running at tomorrow. If anything, it looked like it finished with a little bit in hand, so should have enough to overturn Xpres Maite, hwich narrowly finished ahead of it that time out. Should handle the fibresand surface fine and the opposition here I would regard as being that little bit weaker this time. Izzy Boy looking like it will start favourite and probably the big threat here, but given its two narrow wins, I suspect that this is just a race too far for it.

UrbanSea

Took a chance on Hunting Party going handicapping in the Paddy Power at 20/1 each way.

rossom

Moyle Park to blow away the competition today and go single figure favourite for the Supreme.

UrbanSea

Hope he does rossom but that form isn't working out at all. I know he's up against a grade 1 winner but I think that was a woeful race, it will be disappointing if he doesn't win well today if he wants to be a strong Supreme challenger

MoscowFlyer

Ch4 not showing any racing today even with Sprinter Sacre running. Shame.

king Henry 14

Some interesting racing at kempton yet channel 4 choose to show nothing. Pathetic!
Going to take a chance on clonbannan lad e/w in the paddy power.

BumperD

Cloudy Rock & Moyle Park for me today.

Colonel Sanders

Best horse definitely won there at Leopardstown

McCoy would've won quite easily without the mistake at the last (which it assumed had cost him the race)

BumperD

Champagne James kept some good company in bumpers. If fully tuned, he should account for this lot with ease.

Thats Irish racing summed up all in that race, that horse beaten out of sight in his 2 starts over hurdles and then hoses up like a 1/10 shot :pac:

One wonders if Mr Elliott will be asked to the stewards room..... I doubt it :rolleyes:

Colonel Sanders

That Double Irish absolutely hosed in

Real head scratcher there

BumperD

Good grief, just saw result.

Baily Green looks overpriced in the next given his overall form.

hawkhead

A couple for me today (eway singles and a double)

On Trend 10/1 in the 3-05 Kempton
Greyfriarschorista in the 2-25 Southwell

Not at all sure the stewards probably had a few quid on it :cool::rolleyes:

Gringo180

How in the name of jaysus is Kid Cassidy as low as 4/1

BQQ

Vicenzo Mio looked impressive there.

Think someone flagged it up a few days ago (SRFC, I think)

jimjamcos

Always worth opposing Arvika left-handed. Sizing Europe to show his class for me. Then Moyle Park to romp home hopefully.

Colonel Sanders

Bit of money for Hidden Cyclone here

Even though I'm struggling to find a bet among the market leaders (Arvika better going right handed, Sizing not getting any younger & I was very disappointed at Down Royal with him) he'll surely be outclassed here. Hoping he acquits himself well though

MoscowFlyer

Hidden Cyclone is the pricewise horse

king Henry 14

Arvika for me next

Pricewise! Don't think Sizing's Down Royal run was too bad.

kiers47

Another Mullins hot pot turned over there in limerick. 40/1 shock. Fav would have definitely won had he not bundled the second last!

kiers47

Strange to see arvika held up at the back. Will be interesting to see how this develops.

seoirsem

Sizing's jumping fell apart down the back!!

hawkhead

That was a strange ride on Sizing Europe for me. He surely went off way too quick.

seoirsem

Nice ride by the winner, no show from Hendersons one

mr.jingle

Benefficent must be the most under rated horse in training another grade 1

hawkhead

The bank of Willie Mullins will be the next one requiring a bailout if this continues

bumper234

I fancy sir harry cash e/w 1:35 Limerik

UrbanSea

Great race. Always liked Benefficient.

jimjamcos

Anyone backing that horse must be in clover. Has he ever run at a poor price? Sizing disappointing. Great run from Hidden Cyclone.

I fucking hate those owners.

Andrew Lynch said he was mad fresh at home and raring to go, but he started to back off his fences down the back and was losing lengths all the way. Time to retire the old hero imo.

Colonel Sanders

While I think it's not the strongest Grade 1 form you'll ever see that was another blinding run from Hidden Cyclone after a brave effort in the Paddy Power

He got into a bit of trouble after jumping the last but I think the winner was idling in front in any case. Still, shows he's not finished yet!

king Henry 14

Definitely a few strange rides there on sizing and arvika but the best horse definitely won. Very underrated.

Francie Barrett

Delighted to see all these Mullins favourites getting smashed for a change.

Poor tactics, not a chance was he going to keep up that pace on heavy ground.

To be fair Kid Cassidy is an absolute mule.

Francie Barrett

Geraghty picked off again - utter sh!te.

king Henry 14

Not for changing in the next at Limerick was declared to run at leopardstown yesterday but pulled out to take up easier option today . 2/1

seoirsem

Stewards Enq ongoing in the Benefficient race

seoirsem

Small EW on Georgie here

Gringo180

Got word for lookoutnow in the 2.35 at limerick, but have been advised not to lump on as the trainer said he thinks there is a bit of sickness in the yard. Just thought I would pass on the info.

Jock gave the horse far too much to do in the close - would have won otherwise.

Colonel Sanders

Moyle Park very strong

While The Royal Bond fell apart slightly The Tullow Tank is still a very good yardstick so this is the acid test for MP

naughto

the cut of the owners of Benefficient could they not wear a shirt of a suite for the day

Really think Moyle Park is a good thing here.

jimjamcos

Moyle Park time!!!

Elliott is a blatant gangster!
I was even talking about his exploits earlier.

Cause of Causes is a must....join the prick in his crookedness!

king Henry 14

Terrible conditions at leopardstown now. The paddy power handicap chase is going to take some getting. Any of the horses looking for decent ground can forget it I'd say.
