I Love Punting , Providing Selections & Chatting Gibberish ; & I Intend To Do So On Hyah

looking at one race on t'morrow

Friday 5th May

Cheltenham - Good

a racecard choc full of Hunters' Chases 😂

looked at t'Gabe Mahon, 7.45 - just a smidge north o' 4m this one is

pen landed on: SUGAR BARON ~16/1 EW , JUST YOUR TYPE ~12/1 EW & ANOTHER VENTURE ~20/1 EW

only small stakes - far too tough this. the ~ 4/1 2nd fav LAW OF GOLD has plenty of solid form at marathon trips at north of 3 1/4m, but do make lots of mistakes. has some of the best overall form on offer tho. mebbe a small win on this one

Shantou Flyer, the ~ 11/10 paper jolly is co-oldest horse here at 13yo. ran in this last year, when in care of Paul Nicholls, but could only manage 5th.

tough race this as many aint ran much -if at all- over ~4miles, and many like to lead as well. think i'll have to lay jolly for 3/4 places on principle alone

☺️

a lorra coin money coming for that Birdie Or Bust for Tipp 5.20. I aint fooled seein' it at all - based mainly on fav's lack of form on t'Good Going. is 8/13 from 5/4 - just looks waaaay too short. 3-place lay @ ~ 1/4 looks appealing

:)

place there in Salisbury with Fullforward - closee , but no cigar :(

4.40 Ayr

GLOBAL HUMOR 10/1 EW

former cd winner , coming back into form , live claims, imo . contender :)

gluck

Musselburgh - Good

5.00

two agin t'field

HOLLIS BROWN 33/1 EW , BAZALGETTE 14/1 EW

g'l

Newmarket - Good (Good to Firm in Places)

5,20

can't get any angles going here. seems horses can win from on, or behind the pace. A few towards top of handicap have won over 7f & a mile on Good ground when making all

worry is they can't all do it, and some are out of form as well; with many having been in care of more'n one trainer

just a one pick race this - even for me 😂

POWER OF DARKNESS 14/1 EW

another one what's been in care of more than one trainer. is former CD winner on Good to Firm. horse has had the four runs for his latest and 2nd trainer, Charlie Fellowes, with all four being on the AW. per the few lines of form per horse given in racecard, since ~ July '22 this horse has either been slowly away/dwelling in rear, or 'hard-pulling' etc,,

anyroad, his last two runs have seen him closer to the pace earlier on in his races. he didn't win either of those, but runs seemed step in right direction. not getting any younger as is 8yo, and best days might be behind him, but will do me here regardless. seems there were some money for him earlier (backed into ~8s) but has drifted back out again, and 14s looks reasonable to me

Gary Moore horse, Warning Sign ~ 4/1 is #interesting, as has only had three runs, and is out of a relatively unknown Sire in Attendu. #zero interest at prices tho !

5.40 DP

didn't like prospects of short priced jolly (very short in paper/prob sp) , as Going was considered "Good" last day or two

have looked at nowt else in race, but MIGHTY JEREMY 10/3 WIN, has improved beyond all recognition recently - when winning on soft and heavy going

yielding , yielding to soft ground should give this one chance at a fair price,, don't think it's getting much softer there, tbf; hope it don't dry out too much tho, for to give 9yo a solid winning chance here. mebbe trainer has found 'key' to this one, and perhaps Soft or Heavy aint paramount so far as 'Going' goes

:)

nothing there - think that's enuff for t'day :( :(

no good - almost ! nabbed late on :(

ta j,

ran like a drain tho 😪 😂

think us purple patch well 'nd truly over. mebbe a bit more perspicacity required 'going unbackwards', 'nd leave off mules for a bit 'til us is back "feeling it" - aint feeling it atm 🙂 🙂

:)

think i'll back MOUNTBATTEN again

race delayed - few mins bef 8.25 due off

thanks very much j 😊

glad i was confident in me own #overallintheroundpuntingbeliefsystemandnotundulydisconcertedbydriftersgiven#certainsetofcircumstances 😋

#them 'circumstances' being: me believe sometimes a horse what may look (to most us punters) to be up against it on form known, but can't atallatallatall be given the "draw a line treatment" thru him/her; that a horse like that may be artificially put out in betting, so as to somehow try delude punters

was very exciting race - I went from "Go on Luke Morris,,,, to Go on Luke Morris - then proceeded to "Go On Mountbatten, GO ONNNN!!!!!!!! YESSSSSS , GO ONNN... YESSS,,, / from all that to "ah no, sht , fekk" mmmmm / and then back to GO ONNNN LUKE MORRRISS ,, GO ONNN , YAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSS" , or sumfink like that - can't exactly rememba

anyhow, me's happy

sorry i couldn't convince ya j@u - ur one of the good ones on here 😊

did try ;)

:(

no joy at all there - not even a runfer

well out back early , and was never in contention, that Tapit Trice

😪
