Probably worth watching a few of those horses at Aintree and Punchestown now.Quote:

Brighterdaysahead to hopefully clear me for today 🤞
Aye so we did! Good place for tips this :greengrinQuote:

My fancies so far are it’s on the line and dinoblue double just under 5s
Bruising week so far for me but today is another day and all that.
1.30 - Majborough
2.10 - L'Eau Du Sud
2.50 - Johnnywho
3.30 - Galopin Des Champs
Also gone for the 'Hibs double' (look at the silks) each way:
1.30 Nurburgring
3.30- L'Homme Presse
Well up for the week (first time for years) so happy with that and free bets only today - a couple of pretty mad ones but we shall see
Triumph Hurdle - Salver
Gold Cup - L'Homme Presse
I'll probably take one of PB's as well - he is due a winner :wink:
Would love to see LHP win but I don't think it will stay up the hill. I can't see past Gallopin but the value is 50/1 The Real Whacker, plugging on for a place past tired horses.Quote:

Got 2 free £5 bets to use which I will prob stick E/W on a couple of midfielders for the gold cup, ill look again at lunchtime
That's a better start to the day. About ****ing time as well.
Majborough looks a big, staying chaser in the making. He jumped the hurdles impeccably and took ground out of everyone else every time they left the ground.
Get in there Galopin! 👏
What a horse. Never in doubt from about 5 out. Never quite got him at the 12s I got last year but a decent antepost all the same. Couldn't resist another wedge at evens today as well.
11/4 to do it again next year. I'm in.

There were a few cracking finishes today; I just happened to be on the wrong end of them. Overall I roughly broke even over the four days, no thanks to El Fabiolo, who did a Goshen on me and destroyed my big lucky 15. Such are the fine margins.Quote:

Booked up for Cheltenham next year.
Early bird prices were the same as this year and with my Rewards4Racing points I got club tickets for the Tuesday and Wednesday worth £173 and only paid £32. Staying in Bristol again. Already looking forward to it.
Off to Musselburgh on Saturday for the start of the flat as well and have an invite to the Friday at the National meeting from a client at work but not sure I'm going to be able to swing that.
Musselburgh abandoned today. Annoying as was looking forward to the day out and it was a decent card.
Why is it off? Strange one thought the drainage was always pretty good thereQuote:

Yep fair enough if that was the case. Just a little surprised it was off at all given it would be fresh ground for the flat.Quote:
