Fancies For Today III

x PyRo

Mod Hat:

Lads, cut out the rubbish please. We're all here for the same reasons (have a bit of craic, beat the bookmakers, etc.) and I don't want to ban people as a result of squabbling. Next person who drags the thread off-top or gets personal is gonezo for a while. Last, last warning before the hammer comes out!

I give Hamdany a chance in the 7 45 at Wol,has been a little disappointing on his last 2 runs and has a couple of inform horses to beat.
The 7 lb claim of Malune means he is possibly well handicapped and worth a modest bet this evening.

Like Discoverie in the first @ Catterick.

4/1 (with Paddy's) seems a decent price to me.

Brian Hughes up and last time he rode the horse it won.

7:40 Kempton - Mr Bossy Boots - 1.50pts @ 8/1 (General)

It's nearly a couple of years since Mr Bossy Boots has managed to get his head in-front but he has dropped from a peak mark of 96 to 84 and should prove capable of winning a Class 4 contest in the not too distant future. Indeed, he only found one too good on his penultimate start over C&D when Bobby Wheeler bounced back to show his true worth and that form took a boost with the third home, Arnarson, winning at Chelmsford next time. The selection didn't exactly step forward on his sole start since but that was in a hot Class 3 at Lingfield and he was drawn very wide in stall twelve. It led to a less than ideal trip through from the start and I feel that his petrol was used in the early part of the contest, which isn't what he wants. He takes a while to wind up these days, so it's easy to understand why connections might think they should sit as handy as possible when he does break well (and it'll yield good runs on occasions, no doubt), but I'd much rather position him in mid-division off a solid gallop and see what happens in the straight. If they do go a proper pace from the off here, it could well get interesting in the closing stages.

Jaysus it came last!

Cheers.

Even though I fancied it, I was still surprised to see him backed down to 5/4. If I've backed something on Betfair early doors and that happens I'll often give thoughts to cashing out and so took a look at what Paddy's were offering just before the off and just thought to myself 'Would ya fcuk off! '.

He did indeed. The joys of horse racing I'm afraid. They're animals - things go wrong. Thankfully it's a long-term game, never about one bet. Hopefully the next won't copy him, mind!

Edit: Following the race, the Veterinary Officer reported that MR BOSSY BOOTS (IRE), unplaced, had bled from the nose.

That explains it. He burst.

Wow. I know, I had discoverie from the first poster and put a fiver on them in a double for 150. Bit of craic, hope there's an easy recovery from that for the horse. Can't see much I like today I'm afraid, stick to football.

Like SKYWARDS REWARD in the 2.20 @ Ayr today (11/4 on Betfair).

Runs with a penalty but it's not the best of races and on the form of his last run he looks to have the beating of the field on what they've shown so far.

Tip for Paddy Twomey's in the 7.00 Dundalk

Jim Gazebo

I know Buveur Dair shouldn't be near beaten, but I fancy Wicklow Brave tomorrow in the 3.30 at Cheltenham. Seems to like soft ground, been watching him the whole way along praying for soft. Have a tenner on him for the win at 20/1 from 3 weeks ago.

Anything can happen ☺

zimmermania

Getabird in the 1 30,short in the betting but should win.
Saint Calvados might upset the irish in the 2 10.
Jury Duty for Gordon Elliot in the 4 50.
de Plotting Shed also trained by Elliot can go well in the 5 30.

I have already backed 2 at decent prices for Cheltenham tuesday.

Black Corton in the 2 10 has struck up a very good partnership with Bryony Frost winning a bunch of novice chases in good style.Bryony is probably going to be the best female over jumps and at 15/2 with PP represents very good ew value.

One that might underestimated in the betting for the ultra competitive 2 50 is The Organist trained by Oliver Sherwood for J P who always likes one to be laid out for this meeting.

The Organist stays further and that will be an asset on the ground.Has run well at Cheltenham in the past and is well worth ew support at 25/1 and will be running on up the hill.PP are going 6 places and The Organist looks a value bet and could go off shorter.

I can't remember if PP were offering four or five places in the 2.50

Kablamo!

PP are paying on The Organist.
