Few extremely strong bets today, both win and lay.

1.30 Southwell, celtic champion is around 5/4 and a very strong lay bet, I'm quite positive this will get beaten. It will need the run.

In the same race, colnago at 9/1 looks to have a cracking chance so went E.W on that.

1.40 Chepstow, good work around 15/8,backed to win and my best of the day.

Going to go with GRANGECLARE WEST to justify current favouritism (6/4) in what looks like a very interesting Lawlor's of Naas Novice Hurdle today in Naas at 2:20. The second favourite, Gordon Elliott-trained Irish Point, perhaps has the standout piece of form with his second to Marine Nationale in the Royal Bond at Fairyhouse last month, and he has more experience than Willie Mullins' seven-year-old who is making only his fourth appearance today and second over hurdles. However, if there is any trainer to have a horse right, it's the Closutton maestro, and this horse already overcame a lengthy layoff when winning his bumper last May, so I will stick with him in what should be an intriguing race.

Final bet of the day.

4.20 meydan, onda ruggente, around 4/1 on the exchange, I've backed to win. I think it'll really appreciate the step up in trip.
