Other one is Buratino 10/1 in the Coventry, he's fairly weak in the mkt this evening which is a bit of a concern. GL this week.

But this is vastly up in Class (he usually runs at C5, and this is C3 company), and this is also a 5f race! The thing is, Bertie Blu Boy has never ran in a 5f race - 7f is his most successful distance. The people involved with the horse are pretty smart though, and have placed him well before, so going to both Class 3 and 5f for the first time is not as insane as it seems. My guess is that he runs his usual race - like an insane thing from the front - and with the shorter distance the hope is he wont tire soon enough to get caught. I will buy a hat and eat it if he does not lead at some point in the race - but the big question is if he can stay.

Horse was 2nd in this last yr and gets in off 1bl lower. I missed the 20/1 available at declaration stage but 14/1 just about represents value ew 6 places pp. You'd need 6 places given the size of the field tomorrow. Ryan moore seems to be on fire so I guess whatever he rides this week warrants close scrutiny

Amir was evs last night when I looked and went off 1/5f but only won by a narrow margin. I did not play as I thought evs was skinny but what do I know. He has another newcomer tomorrow, a fleminsfirth gelding in the last at uttoxeter named Bruce of croineach, no form but at 7/2 worth a small dabble given the hot streak his nhf horses are on.
