Tidal bay 7/1 ew if it jumps it will not be out the first 3 some say it should be running in the rsa, but look at my way de solzen last year

Kruguyrova 14/1 ew strong battleing mare gets a weight allowance to

 

Champion hurdle

Harchibald 6/1 ewcant see it out the first 3

catch me 12/1 ew progressive

wouldnt be surprised to see sizing europe win but 2/1 is to skinny

One of the sporting highlights of the year. After todays back shift i'm off the rest of the week to enjoy the racing and hopefully make a few quid.

 

I've backed Exotic Dancer at 12's and Harchibald (6's) in an each way double. They both look nailed on for places at the very worst.

 

Also had a little bit EW on Straw Bear at 33/1. Way over priced then, about 20's now i think.

I think noland is one of the best in the field but the pace of the arkle might take him off his feet

 

good luck anyway

The horse I tipped to win a few weeks ago is running today, it's called "An Accordian" and is going in the 4pm, it wont be far away if it sorts the jumping out a bit.

 

Also in the last race the favourite "Ashkazar" should win that one, horses who win the Imperial Sunderland Cup from the Saturday before normally land the bonus on offer for winning that race and ANY race at Chelters, it looks VERY well in.

McCoy was sitting with a double handful coming around the home bend and looked like he was cruising on yours, however he found nothing on the run in and was beaten by a couple of lengths.

Crikey, the pressures on now then eh!! :confused:

 

I just loved the way it demolished a very very decent field in Ireland and if it can transform that to Chelters then it's a case of how far! Harchibald is the big danger because Noel Meades Horses are hitting form again, although his horse in the first ran like a cow!

 

Thyne again might sneak a wee place at a decent price in the Arkle off in a few minutes, but I put Noland on my lucky15 slip.

Cheeky wee ?10 E/W on Kruguyrova, so up so far. Think it would've still got beat, but Krug seemed to land shockingly on that 2nd to last fence.

I think Tidal Bay always had that sewn up from about 3 out though
