Glad to see some people got lucky today! Feck all for me apart from Quevega in a double that Hurricane Fly had already ruined :verymad: Still, only down a tenner for the day so mustn't grumble.

 

Anyway, tomorrow makes or breaks my week....

 

?50 @ 10/11 on Sizing Europe

?50 (half from a free bet) at 6/4 on Grand Crus

 

Nothing much else really leaps out so have a Lucky 15 of...

2.05 Sous Le Cleux @ 6/1

4.00 Dare Me @ 14/1

4.40 Argocat @ 16/1

5.15 Village Vic @ 16/1

 

For anyone doing Lucky 15's, Totesport will pay three times the odds if you only get one single in.

 

Good luck all! :thumbsup:

The Old Tolbooth

Currently trading around 10/11, its won twice before at the festival so knows it way around the course and up the hill. Very impressive in December at Sandown, my nap of the day tomorrow to be honest. Big Zeb is a decent horse but I can't see past Sizing Europe for the Champion Chase

Don't disregard Finian's Rainbow, very good horse with a lot going for him

 

Tomorrow's bets for me are:-

 

1.30 ?10 free Skybet bet on Alfie Spinner @ 8/1.

2.05 ?25 e/w free Paddy Power bet on Sous Les Cieux @ 6/1.

2.40 ?5 on Bobs Worth @ 7/2

3.20 ?5 on Big Zeb @ 4/1.

4.00 ?5 on Cape Dutch @ 14/1.

4.40 ?2.50 e/w on Kapga De Cerisy @ 16/1.

5.15 ?5 on Champagne Fever @ 10/1

 

Will have a wee lucky 15 with a few of them and possibly a Placepot too.

 

Apologies Soops, I've already backed Alfie Spinner :wacko:

 

(Bobs worth is a horse I always follow too, but can't see him beating Grand Crus, sadly) :(

Grand Crus hasn't raced this year, due to Newbury being cancelled, and I'm hoping that will be the difference.

I'm gonna go big on Poole Master, dunno how much yet.

 

I will probably not get another win for the rest.

Cottonmill eventually decided to jump the second last without his jockey on board, only to fall again at the last. He's OK, by all accounts.
