All gone on Long Dog in the first tomorrow, @ 4/5 BFSB.

Decent preview for tomorrow's action and tipped few decent prices winners today.

Favourite placed in every race, and the second favourite placed in plenty too. Just one of those days really

Northern Rocked certainly won't be 7/1 at the off tomorrow for Dermot Weld in the 7:50. This one probably isn't as good as it used to be, but it's well down in the handicap ratings and carries a stone less than when it achieved a course and distance victory on similar ground two years ago. There's a lot of good ground horses here that could be scratched, so I feel Northern Rocked has a much better chance than what those odds suggest.

I backed it at 7s but because of the draw only half the stake I had intended. Agree it will go off shorter.

Hint Of A Tint with a handicap rating of just 86 looks like another that was well and truly chucked in. This is an ultra competitive handicap though, so only a small bet for me at 9/1. Respectable run in the Topaz last year, but this time around the weights will have shifted quite a bit in its favour, so would be surprised if it doesn't improve on last years 6th place.

Francie Barrett

Final fancy is Steps To Freedom in the 5:45. Five runs in chases with five second places. There is serious class with this horse, having seen it win at Aintree and Cheltenham. Reckon this one is much better value at 8/1, than the likes of Guitar Pete, who I reckon is much better suited to flat galloping tracks.

Francie Barrett

Just as an FYI, a chum of mine handed me over a grand to do a double on Toormore and Long Dog tomorrow. In total he's got 4k on to win 25k. Something to think about if you're doing fivers or tenners on most races like me :pac:

ShaneU

Think Dutch Connection will beat Toormore but good luck to him

Gautama

What price can we expect Rebel Fitz be on Sunday?

Papa Ruthless

Well folks new to the the forum, thought I'd join today and let my two cents be heard.

Going with Bobby Jean in the 19:50. Consistent philly who also boasts an improving record with O'Donoghue riding. Running off it's highest rating yet of 80 today, but believe it can still progress. Well-drawn.

Selection - Bobby Jean - 19:50 Handicap
Took 8/1 with Paddypower

Also going for a double with Unyielding in the 19:20. Promising third in debut at Killarney for trainer Mrs Harrington whose horses seem to be in fine form at the present time.

Selection - Double
Unyielding 19.20
Bobby Jean 19:50

Have a great day folks and best of betting to everyone today!

This is one that certainly caught my eye. I thought that we might not see her again after disappointing her last 5 runs. Also the fact that she has the black type already acquired for breeding purposes so I was very surprised to see her here after not running since Dundalk in October. Backed in a bit last night too so Wachman obviously thinks she retains some of her old ability seen when winning her only race in her debut in July 2012. Will like the ground too if it's heavy so one to certainly keep an eye on in the market.

Big gamble on Heartbreak City (possibly Pricewised?) in the last (20.20) this evening. Very obvious plot horse from the Tony Martin stable. 12/1 this morning, best-price 9/2 now.

Pricewise was Unsinkable in the Topaz i think.

Peintre Celebre

Francie reading my mind. Backed two this evening Hint of a Tint at 12/1 Ladbrokes went a stand out for a while last night.

Northern Rocked looks the bet of the week and I backed it accordingly at 7/1. TMYPOTMYGB

I wonder do bookmakers create these false gambles? We usually find out they do when they drift drastically before the off!!

realdanbreen

Beau Satchel has to deliver soon.
10-1 in the 7.50 this evening looks good to me.

risteard7

Unsinkable 6:50 He wont be beat so i was told. I got word from a good source. But they dont always win as we know.

murphyaii

heartbreak city better win in the 20:20 or galway will be a bad start.

Waiting on Ruby on a Rich Ricci yoke for Mullins at odds on for the pay-off. It's like Cheltenham Day 1 all over again, I'd say your chum is cacking himself.

Snipp

Adimelo to cause an upset in the first for me today! 2pts ew
Now or never in the fillies maiden stakes. 2pts ew
Best of luck to all!

I see Ana O'Brien is following in the family tradition - 2lb overweight on Ruler Of France in The Topaz Mile!

Slight soiling of pants at 2nd last but other than that, easy enough

Panrich

Ted seems in extremely good form there with AP talking about septic tanks.

Jerichoholic

Our old friend Emprasario absolutely killed it there. Glad I took a small chance on him for old times sake.

Johnny_Fontane

backed from 20/1 in 12/1 just before.....opted out of the race myself.....grrr
