Two for me today. Eh hem... 3

Master Bond 4:50 Ayr
Master Bond he is a C&D winner and had a solid second place off his current mark on Saturday. Easier ground expected to suit. Bunce looks like threat being a C and D winner also and having won of marks of 78 and 79 his current bha is 72. Concern is, his run comes quite close after his last on Saturday. I'm having a punt!

Magical Daze 4:30 Lingfield
Better value here and some scope to go E/W if that appeals. He's one of Hugh Taylor's picks from at the races. Looks to have a speed rating edge over his competitors. Looks well fancied from RP and ATR.

EDIT
Band of Thunder 7:50 Southwell
Recent debut for Mark Thompkins yard provided a solid victory beating Flugzeug by 8l! Carries a 7lb penalty with a 3lb claim from Thomas Garner again. Hoping he can do the double.

Best of luck with your selections

Master Bond was expected to win the other day but couldn't get by the gutsy Captain Dunne,i'd say he'll be fancied to do the business again tomorrow and i'd advise taking a price. I'll be backing him.

Three for me today, at work now - will try and post reasoning later:

7.40 Kempton - Smiling Stranger (4/1 Boyles - 7/2 Generally) 2pts Win
2.20 Ayr - Lockram (7/2 Generally) 1pt Win
3.30 Lingfield - Thomas Blossom (13/2 Bet365) 1pt Win

Interesting that Ruby goes to Sligo for one ride, King Blue in the 7:30

Shauna's Spirit in the 8.40 Kempton my first bet in a while.
Ticks all the boxes for me and can't see the double figure prices lasting long.
If you put a line through her turf form she looks to be very well treated.

Dolphin Rock ayr 5.20 13/2 boyles.

On a career low mark and makes his debut for new yard. Not sure how jockey will perform (only his 3rd ride from what i can see) but he takes a further 7lbs off so looks well in if he can recapture some old form. Has been nibbled at in the market.
gl with your bets today

Have backed her on a few occasions this season when I thought she would run well over 7f on the AW. Dosnt seem to get her head in front. Dont think I will follow her today so she probably will win.

Class Anne 14-1 4.50
Great form throughout last summer. It has had two runs under its belt this year, two disappointing runs but I think it's here today to run a honest race.
Great record over this distance.

Master bond 4.50 Ayr

One bet for me, Perfect Woman at Sligo 9/2 cracking e/w bet, decent form in maidens, they tried to make the running on her last run and i dont think it suited her, fully expect her to go in tonight.

I never back people's fancies but I think you could be on to one here. She gets weight from them all, she was 35 lengths clear of the third when runner up to a hotpot from Willie's and the third wasn't beaten far when runner up at Navan next. The horse who beat her at Clonmel won the good handicap chase at Roscommon the other day and the third was beaten a nose in a maiden hurdle next time. The horse that beat her at Tramore went on to win a handicap off 108 and Speed Demon was well held in fourth who won since and is fancied in the race before hers. Definite Earl is well backed but yours is worth a score anyway

Regarding getting her head in front, do you mean this season?
She has a strike rate of 17% on her 42 AW runs to date, not bad.

If there's strong early pace in the race I'd be very hopeful of a big run.

KAKAPUKA is likely to make the running. If you consider Shaunas Spirit runs on the AW only, over 7 or 8 furlongs, when running off a BHB rating of 77 or less under these conditions she is 7 wins and 5 places from 26 runs. Runs off 57 tonight, her last winning rating was over CD off a rating of 70 so is without doubt very well handicapped here. In addition when she has run in cheek pieces under the conditions outlined above she has won 5 from 10. As you say ticks a lot of boxes. Still available at 12/1 with Boyles but appears to be shortening up everywhere else and into 9/1 in a few places now.

Just invested 2 tenners and a tenner double (2/1 & 4/1) for a potential €230 return. Fingers crossed lads

Trouble in P

Ruby Walsh was a guest speaker in the school my mam works in today, where he was giving out awards for sports in the school during the year. He said to staff today that he had one ride in Sligo today and it isn't going to lose. The school is in Newbridge, Kildare if that makes any difference. A teacher in the school is a presenter on KFM radio station and that is how they managed to get Ruby Walsh to make an appearance. Newbridge to Sligo is at least 2.5 - 3 hours away so it is a fair distance to travel for one ride.

Take from this what you like

Thane of Cawdor in the 1st at Kempton looks interesting to me.The only C&D winner in the field and down to his last winning mark with a capable rider on board
I,ll be having a small e/w bet.

Good luck, dont mean to put anyone off but in my experience a Ruby Walsh tip can be a contrary indicator if anything.

There's been serious money put down on Stoghans cross in the 8.30. I'm not playing after how that mule ran earlier but just said i'd let you know in case anyone's interested.

Not a race I would want to be getting involved in but could be worth keeping an eye out for Mystic Princess in that race, local trainer and making her handicap debut today - not beyond the realms of possibility that she puts up a rather improved performance.

Well done MH. There'll be a few boys sticking their fingers in ice this evening after that burning off Stoughans cross. Ran like a drain.

Also happy for connections, do a good job with very limited resources
