Have picked out two hopeful each way pokes at reasonable prices, and one win only.

2.40 Haydock VINTAGE CLOUDS 14/1 PP , FADO DES BROSSES 16/1 PP/Boyles

Hard to get a handle on this race, but I don't see the favourite winning and Remastered does look plenty short at ~5/2... It's 8s bar the Pipe horse, and Calipso Collonges is currently the 2nd in the betting, and is short enough for a nine year old who hasn't done a lot at this level.. I can't see him involved in the finish, though he could possibly be staying on late. It's a pass from me though.. BUZZ DE TURCOING is interesting at 11s PP (a lot of the books have him priced shorter, with some as low as 15/2) on his third chase start, and is worth a small win bet at around that price..

These'll do for me unless I have another look in the morning..

Gluck 😊

Ciel de Niege in the 14.20 at Navan might be a Credit Union job.

2.25 Ascot LISNAGAR OSCAR 33/1 ew

Should like 3m on soft ground. Will hopefully see an improvement n recent outings.

CHAMP for me to break some stats and WIN the Longwalkhurdle

3.35 Ascot WEST CORK 5/1 PP ew NAP

Harry Skelton's bullish. Has a great chance on the formbook. A 7yr old who has never been outside the top two places in only 6 career outings.

And a small win bet on DROP THE ANCHOR @ 18/1 PP, who looks capable, and a clear round would see him go close, but, and it's a big enough but, he would have to cut out the errors that he's sadly prone to.

A second pick in The Long Walk

2.25 Ascot PAISLEY PARK 6/1 Boyles ew

€10-€1000 continued...

€132 rolling onto Ciel De Neige at 11/8
