What time would you normally expect all online bookies to have races priced up? For example; Navan today

10.30 or 11am

Doncaster 3:15

It is somewhat depressing having to look through these races after the excitement of Cheltenham but the NH will be over shortly and I’ll have to get back on the flat handicap train for the Saturday Fix anyway. I had some difficulty finding anything well handicapped here but one that I felt stood out a bit is Born to Surprise. He has a great course record with 2 wins and a decent run out of 3 runs here albeit over 7 Furlongs. He does look like he needs the step up in trip looking at some of his races and in certainly well handicapped on his best form which includes a win with 4 pounds higher. He had a pipe opener on the All Weather lately and ran on well when not really in the race. I’d be hopeful that the trainer has prepared him for this as he doesn’t have many turf runners and the 25/1 with 5 places with BET365 looks the best option here.

½ Point EW 25/1 5 Places Bet365 28/1 4 Places elsewhere.

Jack Dexter 2/1 2.40 at Donny

Has won 7 out of 8 races on soft ground.

Bill Turner is a man to watch with early 2yr olds so Paddy Again in the first at Donny.A horse I have been watching for a long time and has not had the handbrake off once is Naabegha 80/1 in the Spring mile.Richard Fahy said in November he was bringing his horses in a month earlier than usual so he has to be watched up to Chester with the fact his horses may be fitter than usual for this time of year.Conor Beasley is a young jockey going places so I fancy Outlaw Torn to run well off his current mark.

One I have had my eye on for a while is Docofthebay on a much sliding mark. He walked out of the stalls and wasnt touched at Southwell. Tries a new trip today in a weak race in the second last may not stay but worth a chance around 14s

Nulty

Took Jacks Revenge (Lost Bronze Angel @ 25/1) in the Lincoln.

I'm tempted by Boots And Spurs in the Spring Mile but his record on Soft may not be good enough, career high mark but off 11lbs lower ran Educate to a head in similar conditions last year in this race. Short enough though, I'll take a shot at Nameitwhatyoulike for Mick Easterby. He didn't run well in it last year but I will put that down to a one off. He's a course and distance winner with a bit of scope

SM746

Took a chance on Knockroom earlier at 7/1 in 405 Kempton as he is dropped in class and was looking for early price this morning on Benalex Park in 325 Navan as I thought he would see some money but hasn't. Still 12/1 with Boylesports I think.

David Evans trains 5 of the 9 runners in the 2yo maiden fillies at kempton (1.50), Chris Caitlin's only ride of the day is on Charlies Star who is just beginning to shorten in price and may be worth a small punt at 7/1. Also interesting that Lucinda Russell sends Ballycool on a solo 600 mile round trip to Uttoxeter for the 4.30, has been a bit inconsistent so far but in with a shout on a going day 8/1.

I actually love the brocklesby as a spectacle. An absolute betting minefield though.

Escalating has probably the nicest pedigree but will probably be better during the summer months.

I did think Mountain Man looked a decent sort on paper to be a semi decent 2yo.

The money for Escalating could be informative.

Or could Bill Turner do it again(if he wasn't a bill turner horse in this race he'd be a 20/1 shot so I couldn't have him!)

No bet but Mountain Man and Escalating are the 2 I'm most interested in.

Drifted to 10/1 and finished 2nd to an impressive 7l winner Tiggy Wiggy.

God thought that was a woeful ride by Havlin and I didn't have a bet. Let the winner go while he was sitting there cruising

Johner

That was a great ride by Seb Sanders :eek:

mailburner

jeez that hurt
jockey maybe too confident with a couple of furlongs
to go on the second

kiers47

The only time I backed that horse he failed to win an ascot handicap off a mark of 82.

As Urban said I thought the second got a stinker of a ride!

UrbanSea

Boosts Dance and Dance's form, Graphic finished about three lengths in front of him receiving five pounds in the Cambridgeshire with Dance and Dance not getting a clear run. 5lbs lower today than that run

Sorry but I can never understand this. Every year with the announcement of the flat season we see people crabbing it. It's become like a fashion statement. You never ever see people bemoan the arrival of the NH season. I'm getting a little tired of it to be honest. I love racing. And I certainly don't have an inferiority complex about which code I follow.

Would you crab a soccer fan who said 'ugh international week', or a GAA fan who would crab the league compared to championship? It's a normal reaction when a fan has something they love being replaced with a good but inferior product

We've moved on.

Maureen must have a great chance, no Sky Lantern or Just the Judge here....

UrbanSea

Nice touch landed on Dinkum Diamond there

BumperD

Lets hope Oisin follows up on Dance and Dance

UrbanSea

Rebellious Guest a very bad price here I think. Took a small chance on Uramazin at 15 who was runner up to him last time over probably too short, drawn widest of all and only getting a run late. Should finish much closer

Who's this Oisin you talk about? surely you mean O'Sheen

Any update on Un De Sceaux lads?

jimjamcos

Un De Sceaux beats Gemix by a nose having been clear at the last. Seems the distance nearly beat him. 10l clear of the rest.

Won according to ATR

kfallon

UDS will be sticking to 2m after that I reckon!

Just watching his races is hilarious

jimjamcos

According to Chapman he jumped brilliant and led by 15l for most of race. And out-and-out two miler it seems..
