The 3:25 looks an interesting race with many of these having run against each other several times in the last few months. Reckon there's very little difference between the first 8 of these horses, so with that in mind I am going for the outsider of that mini-group in Red All Star. Patrick Martin is having one of his better seasons this year and this one has been steadily dropping down the ratings since it last won here in Naas a year ago (albeit over a 6f trip as opposed to the 5f it goes over tomorrow). Horse has often raced quite keenly, so the drop down in trip can only be a good thing in my eyes. Wouldn't consider this too high of a conviction pick as it has been a bit of a monkey in the past.

15 45 Mass Rally. Won 2 really good 6f handicaps in 2013 off 103 and 99 on good to soft ground. Runs of 95 tomorrow. His first two runs of the season showed some promise and I think he will be competitive off this mark. 10/1 looks a little generous so 2 pts win.

Agree with this, needs things to drop right for him but I think it's just a matter of time till he goes in again off this sort of mark. Backed him a couple of times this season and have followed you tomorrow.

p.s. sickened with Whozthecat winning at a big price yesterday and not a penny on, can't follow them all...

Jesus I never new it was running and just seen the result. Cant get em all but would have been nice to have 1 pt on.

I'll give Danz Gift another chance in the third at Naas. Ran well when third two starts back and a four pound drop for his last run seems very generous 8/1. I'd be amazed if Curlylocks wasn't good enough to win a maiden even though I'd be somewhat concerned that 6 isn't her trip I chanced her in the second

2.35 Myles ahead expected to go very close, they think he could be a 125-130 rated animal so off 112 today should have every chance barring bumping into one. Was going to go to Galway but felt they've found a better opening in Cork and it's a big enough round trip so won't be making it for a spin.Expect him to be up with the pace throughout and try outgallop them. Is about 8/1 so e/w advised.

Had a small bet on San Cassiano in the third race at Ripon, all bar one of his 10 career wins in handicaps have come off higher marks (that win was off 2lbs lower earlier this season) and has won over this C&D twice before. Would be very worried about the Fahey 3yo but the rest of the field aren't all that inspiring really and 11/1 is a good bit bigger than I expected.

The last race at Nottingham looks like a rotten race but I also like Agent Gibbs, who should improve for the step up in trip as a full brother to a winner over 2 miles (at a very low level), other full brother was rated in 80s at end of 2yo career so some hope that a mark of 60 is not beyond him, very very weak race today and booking of SDS is interesting.

Im with you PC on Danz Gift had a decent e/w bet there at 8's and have backed Georgia on My Mind in the last at 5's e/w

Gets third so place money landed but well beaten,he's not a 120 animal never mind a 125-130 going by that running,could make into a nice chaser in time though when he does go over the bigger obstacles.

Dessie called the wrong second there again.

I swear that B#stard when i back him he gets stuffed (galway last week) and then he comes and does me like that..

Theres a handicap in danz gift though, maybe over 6F

jimjamcos

Followed you there lads, hard luck. Just seen Aiden tipped Battleroftheboyne on a Twitter. Real shame he isn't putting them up here any longer.

Peintre Celebre

Yeah I did my nuts on him twice, he was well beaten when I backed him off 51 at Dundalk and then he goes there and does that off 65
