Thursday

After a good start to the month things did not really go to plan yesterday for me,the last 2 selections did not really run much of a race but I would be interested in the first selection prince of forwards in the future as for whatever reason the horse lost plenty of ground racing on the outer and also lost a fair bit of track posisition before staying on late through beaten horses. Racing today is interesting enough with a decent hunters chase at wincanton and a couple of decent events over in Ireland.Going with a small e/w double on 2 solid chances in Ireland and a couple of selections on noted horses.

315 clonmel fists of fury 10/3vc bog

Think the fav is to short here as he needs to improve his jumping and hes taken on with a horse who is improving with every run this season.

415 clonmel dooney gate 10/3 vc bog

Think this is a match between the selection and catch me,dooney gate is marginally preferred with conditions looking ideal and a eye catching run lto after a break.

1/2pt each way double

250 win
Just a quick point here for those thinking osric is a steering job today.Yes he looks well treated but id be seriously concerned about race tactics here and for me it might be an idea to see who goes on early here and get involved in running on the leader as they just get a soft lead and steal the race from the front.

350 win sir Winston 3/4 pt e/w 6/1 fred whill bog

Been running consistently this season apart from lto where the ground did not suit. 3miles on a sharp course with decent ground are what this horse needs for me.Did not look badly treated but now is being claimed off aswell,cheekpieces may bring out a little more as well and it looks as if todays the day for this one.



310 tow balleyegan 3/4pt e/w 13/2 365 vc bog

Balleyegan is down in grade here and for me was an eye catcher lto looking as in need of a stiffer test,upped in trip over the same unique course I expect him to go close. Glebhall bay is hard to asses on his run lto but percentage call is to take on at the prices whilst atherstone hill has to be respected but is up in grade and weights.

February running total +5.25 pts
