    Looks like we're going to see the return of Sprinter Sacre for the Clarence House Stakes as the rain as it looks like the rain isn't going to materialize with the course clerk suggesting the ground may even by good to soft for the day. Regardless of the ground, not sure I could be having Sprinter Sacre on his return after over a year out against a decent enough field which all have runs behind them and should be fit as fleas. Stats say that the last 7 winners of the Tingle Creek win this race, and as Dodging Bullets is the current holder of that title, I see no reason not to take the 5/2 that is on offer for it. Of course if Sprinter Sacre can turn up with just 80% of the ability it had showed before the lay-off, it should have enough to win this.

    Yeah it's difficult to take a punt on a horse that has been out for over a year, regardless of how good it is.

    I had my fingers burnt in a similar situation last year with Big Bucks so I've learned my lesson. Hopefully it's just a good honest race and SS comes out of it the better for it, regardless of win or lose.

    The best bet is prob to back sacre at 7/4 nrnb for the qmcc. He wins then he is odds on qmcc and if he loses he will retire or skip chelt i guess and cash back.

    You can't guarantee that though.

    They won't flog him tomorrow to win but they could be entirely happy with a good round of jumping and staying with the gallop for most of the way round. He can lose and still go very well at Cheltenham.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,376 ✭✭✭Shemale


    Very trappy race, no way is Sprinter going to be fully tuned so you have two questions over him, how fit is he and how strong is his heart.

    No heart problems and 85% plus fit he wins.


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,205 ✭✭✭Gringo180


    Vintage Star in the 3.15 @ Haydock tomorrow. If he is trying and jumps around he wins imo. Currently 10/1.

    One bet tomorrow. Ackertac is huge at 28/1 3.35 Ascot. Fared well for a long way behind John's Spirit at Cheltenham two starts back, and ran much better than the bare result in The Young Master's disqualified win at Wincanton, again travelling well before being hampered. I do wonder if he would be better over further, but he's now 10lbs below his 14 lengths beating by Holywell at Cheltenham, and is worth a shot.

    Looks like yourself and Aidan took all the 28's. I'll probably leave it now at 20's although probably slim value there still.

    Here's the form for The Italian Yob tomorrow: PPP-P94

    Amazingly, the horse is favourite tomorrow, and I think I might actually be on it at 3/1. Horse is down in class, well handicapped and his carrying a 7lb claimer in Lizzie Kelly, who has had an incredible season with Nick Williams so far. Price ain't great, but you can't argue with that trainer/jockey combination.

    My bad. I was looking for the Italian JOB! Apologies.


  • Registered Users Posts: 99 ✭✭Cantonesque


    Given the role Francie is on you would have to go with "Niceonefrankie" in the 3.35 Ascot!!

    Rule the world 3pts win at naas

    Dark spirit 1pt e/w mares race at ascot


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,172 ✭✭✭NaiveMelodies


    Seriously sweet on I'll be your Clown in the first at Naas tomorrow. Some serious flat form and should come on bundles after his debut over hurdles.
    Really looks a class above his rivals and ground shouldn't be an issue.
    Could make a smart hurdler in the future.
    Would be delighted to get 2s or above in the morning.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,315 ✭✭✭Soft Falling Rain


    Dodging Bullets gone out slightly to 3s.


  • Registered Users Posts: 262 ✭✭oPATCHo


    Fancy taking on The New One today, testing ground and one eye on Cheltenham... 1/8 no thanks!!!

    DESERT CRY 22's on the Fair. Taken. Loves soft/heavy ground, switch back to hurdle is suspect after a no shown over fences FTO this season. Second here in 2012 by 2L under similar conditions... he may be able to go one if he can catch the The New One off guard

    3.10 Lingfield. Clockmaker can go close here. Down the weights and down in class. Draw a small concern as normally makes it however has run well from wide draws previously. Draw has held me back a bit but I still think the 20s with corals is good value. 1 pt win

    Have him down as a serious bet when back up to seven furlongs

    Was just about to post the same thing, might Dutch with Bertimont

    Considered that but just thought the 20s today was too big. If not today it will be very soon and if you are right and he gets a decent draw I will be having a big bet aswell.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,376 ✭✭✭Shemale


    Had a couple of quid on Cogry in 1255 at 9s, bounce could be a factor for the fav and while Cogry has a bit to find on ratings he does better on this type of ground.

    You will get the 3/1 alright as there is a bit of a gamble going on Mulhollands Horse Whats Left. 5's into 7/2. Whats Left's form looks good. Has won 3 out of 5 in the races he has been placed in, including a not too shabby NHF at Punchestown.

    David Probert has struck up a great partnership with Melvin the Grate (3/3 in last year). He's on today 2.35 at Lingfield.
