3.15 Ascot - Minstrels Gallery
3.50 Ascot - Ptit Zigg
2.55 Haydock - Monbeg Dude

Double
3.25 Haydock - Invicta Lake
4.45 Lingfield - Black Dave

 

[Robert Molenaar]

Not bad, 2 winners and a place. How much did you win?

All big favourites, Bidourey went off at 1/3.

Nothing mate, Liberty One let me down. Oh well.

 

[Bobbin']

Ah yeah sorry mate, mis read your original post, thought it was a lucky 15.

 

[Bobbin']

I know I wasn't supposed to be betting in the week but I can't resist a tenner on Spanish Fleet in the 4.00 at Carlisle @7/2.

This horse is in great form and has won over C&D and won here on his last three visits to Carlisle under Brian Hughes. Has defied penalties previously and can do so again today, was beaten by a neck last time out at Wetherby in what was a stronger race than this by a horse who had come off the back of a class 2 victory and should be fresh after a break of just over a month. Upswing, who leads the market has only been boosted by the fact McCoy is taking the ride imo and I fancy Spanish Fleet to take this.

Guaranteed faller now.

 

[Bobbin']

Close run race, wasn't to be. Never mind.

Any thoughts for Cheltenham? Think Taquin Du Seuil is worth an e/w bet in the Ryanair at 12/1

I love Taquin De Seuil. He's the only every horse who's made me think I am good at Horse Racing last year in some race he fluffed a jump which put him out the race but finished very, very strong he ended up second so I made a note in my phone of him to back next time and hope he jumps well...then at Cheltenham I was on him and of course he won.
This year when his jumping hasn't been great again and was pulled up in the Betfair Chase just under a mile out and ran poor in his next only 4th out of 6. Hopefully AP rides and I might have a small stake on him as he has got festival form. Don Cossack worthy favourite

 

[Bobbin']

I too, am a big fan and won handsomly last year with him at Cheltenham. I know AP is a big admirer so would be surprised if he doesn't take the ride. Does seem a bit out of sorts recently though but I will probably have an ew bet too.

Not sure about many other Cheltenham bets just yet other than probably an ew bet on Clarcam as mentioned earlier in the thread.

 

[EvertonPaul]

Coneygree and Kings Palace have also caught my eye

 

[Bobbin']

Perhaps Dodging Bullets to take the Queen Mother's with Simply Ned as a possible e/w. Sprinter Sacre and Sire De Grugy are well worth taking on. Will look a bit more closely in a week or two.

 

[Bobbin']

To get over the Cheltenham hangover and thanks to Coneygree leaving me with quite a bit to play with I've gone for an each-way L31

2.05 - Uttoexeter - Verano
2.40 - Uttoexeter - Bandit Country
3.15 - Uttoexeter - Hollow Tree

3.30 - Kempton - Houston Dynimo

3.05 - Lingfield - Grendisar

 

[Bobbin']

Close to a nice profit there, Grendisar was just beaten on the line and Hollow Tree came in third.

Betfred have kindly given me a £10 free bet so it's all gone on Chelmsford today.

3.00 - Chelmsford - Sir Geoffrey @ 5/1 £5
and a £5 double on 5.00 - Luv U @ 3/1 and 5.30 - Apollo Eleven 4/1 (Now backed into 9/4!)

[Bobbin']

Cheers fella, on a fairly decent run at the moment, just going to enjoy it while it lasts!

 

[Toffee_Joe]

Shy John to win 13/8 in the 4.50 at Taunton
and a little e/w on Crouching Harry in the 4.00 at Towcester

Something to look forward to later on my Monday!

Well played. Crouching Harry a cracking 9/1 shout.

Much profit?

I made £30 which isn't that much for some but a good day nonetheless.

 

[Saddlerrad]

Any tips for the week ahead lads?

 

[Haddock]

4.35 Wolves tomorrow, Sunblazer. 5/1

 

[Bobbin']

Sunblazer isn't a bad call but I do struggle to see past the favourite, Sunblazer must be well worth including in some ew multiple though.

On quick glance there doesn't seem much doing today but I keep going back to Royal Macnab in the 3.10 at Southwell at 9/2.

 

[Bobbin']

Sendiym in the 4.55 at Southwell at 3/1, too.

Might do a little patent for those three for a bit of fun.

 

[spireite]

You've got to look at Midnight Request and Champagne Present today at Southwell, I've chucked them in an acca

 

[Haddock]

Into 7/2 Sunblazer now. They've heard the Haddock has tipped.

4/7 and 4/11, unless your whacking big dollar on, it's hardly worth it.

Ended up just doing a small ew treble of Sunblazer, Royal Macnab and Seniym.

 

[spireite]

That's what acca's are for

 

[Bobbin']

Depends who else you have in them

 

[Haddock]

Haven't even backed my own tip lol hope it loses!

 

[Toffee_Joe]

Single on Two Moons in 3.20 at Southwell
