4:15 Beverly - Blaze of Enchantment (5/1)

A bit of a quirky sort, but runs off a turf mark of 52 compared to 65 on the AW (has won off 63 and gone close off 69).
His last run was first time for a new trainer (was very well backed that day) hopefully the creases have been ironed out, and if he gets away cleanly should go very close in what looks a relatively weak race.

I'll be keeping a close eye on the 7:50 at Ballinrobe. It's one of those wide open, bottom of the barrel handicap's where some of the poorer trainers in Ireland look to try and pull a stroke. Seeing where some of the early money goes can be indicative of chances, so I will wait for the early prices before nailing my colours to the mast.

Will be interesting to see if Cassells Rock runs tomorrow as well. Went off today as favourite and given no sort of race. Declared for tomorrow in what should be a slam dunk of a maiden hurdle.

Denis Hogan's runner is being smashed in on the betting.

Bean Chroi Briste, from 20's to 9's. I got on at 12's. Has two career victories at higher marks than current, one of those coming over the same trip on similar ground at Ballinrobe. Trainer's local track and money is indicative of its chance.

Got spot Francie (i'll leave it at current prices) but very interesting.

Only 11/10, but Thecornishcowboy has been in unreal form since we've got the warm weather. Can't help but feel it should have one more win in it before the handicapper clamps down.

I really think thecornishcowboy can make it a 4 timer here, probably not one to be backing though at even money

Booooom ! 4 timer landed, Fantastic horse this summer

Francie Barrett

4 runs in June - 4 winners in June, wonderful stuff. Declared for a race on the 29th too! If they don't give the horse a rest, I'm calling the RSPCA :pac:

Got on at 7/4 -
40p deduction - :pac:

Will be sticking Boherna Lady into the notebook after that. Given about the worst start a horse could have gotten in that race, it did well to stay on into 3rd.

When you haven't had a winner in 215 runs, I'd say you don't want to be giving out tips too often...

Francie Barrett

Continuing on that theme, no wins in 29 days for Colin Tizzard. He has the 4/1 shot (Henwood) in the next at Newton Abbot.

Iv decided to give 'The good guy' another chance

Francie Barrett

Take a bow Ryan Moore, incredible yet again in the 8:35. Almost any other jockey would have been well beat on that.
