I've gone against a few of the short priced ones today...

Gone for Toubab in the opener against Dunraven Storm...favourite has without doubt the best form in the book but backing up after a short amount of time and conceding weight to a horse described as 'one of the best maidens in training' by his trainer, I'm happy to take on the favourite.

Also gone against Master Minded...he could well win it in a hack canter but was disappointing last term and until I've seen evidence on a racecourse that he's over those problems I couldn't back him at todays odds. Plus he's a champion 2 miler and the extra 3 furlongs may well find him out against Albertas Run who should be about spot on to take this as he did last year.

Gonna back the other two..Imperial Commander and Clerks Choice!


I now expect to go and play football, come home and discover the two favourites I've backed against have won and the two I have backed have been turned over!

Didn't have chance to get to the bookies or study the RP so not gonna bother today. Got in from work just as they were going down for the 2.05 at Ascot.

Master Minded looked excellent, every fence he was near perfect. Couldn't have had much on him at odds on though, always been a big fan of his since he won his first Champion Chase. Hopefully he is back to his best, may have a bet on him when he runs in the Tingle Creek and hope he proves me right. Not reading much in to todays race though apart from it being a nice little confidence boost for the horse, the horses that finished behind him are nothing to get excited about.

Don't know what McCoy was playing at on Albertas Run, what a sickening fall, I didn't think the horse was going to get up from it TBH. Fehily was keeping Master Minded on the pace of Albertas Run and McCoy decided to force the pressure even more, the horse didn't look comfortable and the fall was an absolute sickener - driven into the fence and barely made it off the ground.

Imperial Commander should take the Betfair Chase. Will be interesting to see how What A Friend fares though. Race to watch for me though. IC is too short to take at that price on his seasonal return, and with WAF being rated about a stone and a half less than IC, off level weights I would want a bit more than 3/1 - I would want at least some EW value.

Backed Silviano Conti the last twice, so would've followed him again today. Bugger.

Hoping for a big run from Chief Dan George in the Betfair, got him at 100/1 on Wednesday been backed into 33s now. I know it's a massive ask but he was never a 100/1 shot.

I'm with you on that mate, said the same thing after the race. I backed Kauto at 6 and 5/1 after this years Gold Cup and I'm still happy with that. Big let down Zaynar, didn't travel at all and his jumping early wasn't great either. Still, plenty of time to come on for that.

Been backing Yes Tom (11.5 upto 16s and 3.15 place) in the first at Aintree tomorrow its got a Nicholls hotpot in it which will probs go off odds on which as a formline with Domtaline, Yes Tom's trainer doesn't have many horses an has come long way over from Ireland for this so should be ready (had 8 races over here last season four winners three 2nds and a 3rd) Yes Tom has run to 126 in bumpers been 2nd twice at Ayr, first time was ahead of Storm Brig who is 118 over hurdles, second time it was well clear of the rest by 20 odd lengths with the highly rated Sprinter Sacre was never near to beating that but Habbie Simpson who has won well twice over hurdles recently was back in 4th.
