SHA TIN Sunday 10 th march 0915 Super Sunny Sing Sweet Encounter both win these two are top and bottom weights and hold plenty of track experience here. super sunny sing recorded a career best here last time and the step up in trip may well suit. Sweet encounter has been consistent and both look as though they might go well at decent prices…

It's been a tough few weeks ratings wise ....going sticks of an average 3.6 which is bottom less have made life difficult and Saturdays imperial I changed tack and thought I'd use trends just to help narrow the race and then the untrended ratings get the 1st and 2nd !!!.....so for Cheltenham I'm using untrended ratings (i.e all runners regardless) and the ground is drying ...currently soft...5.6 but could get to good sft (6.3)...later in week hopefully Final ratings for ultima hcaps Eldorado Allen. 9.0 20/1 Stumptown 8.9 Chianti classico. 8.9 Monbeg genius. 8.4 Lord de nesnil 8.4 As you'd expect a very very difficult race not least because meetingofwaters the fav for Mullins has recently been bought by j p McManus for a large sum so maybe they've got dreams of winning this and the grand national ???....but for me this horse is going to have to improve a lot on what he's shown to date but if he's something special at home and that's why he's bought in then could be dangerous I've already got bets Ew on stumptown and Chianti classico so I'm happy with those given I get a run 😃.....the horse that's surprised me is ...eldorado Allen who has jumped to top rated on final weights so I'll be adding 10pt Ew on him at 20/1 ...that looks good value now Monbeg genius and lord de nesnil look lively outsiders at big prices ....tough race but the team is set ...let's hope I can get the festival off to a good start .....good luck all

Bet 10 Real Madrid v Celta Vigo Over 0.5 Goals €[email protected]

AW selection Southwell 4.50 GRANT WOOD

After looking at the first day decs i can see W.Mullins bagging 4 or 5 winners with 6 of the 12 in the Supreme , hope I'm wrong , he had a lot of odds on favourites turned over at the Dublin Festival but his 2nd & 3rd string those days were most probably their seasonal pinnacle races . I fancy G.Elliotts NDAAWI 17/2 in 4.50 , he's won 3 of last 6 renewals of this race . 3rd 12/1 , missed out on b.o.g. but risk you take going early . Sky Bet are giving all cash back on the Supreme maximum bet £5 in which I did MYSTICAL POWER 7/2 . Galileo out of Annie Power , some breeding , quirky type , still green but very talented & best of all , if it comes last , I get my cash back 👍 2nd , got cash back & good run for my money .

20.30 Sth : Valsad - 10/1 Bet365

Humphries was intimidating against Wade. In this "2023 second half" form, he is hard to beat, even in the short format. And yes, De Decker hasn't looked too good so far. Let's see if he can elevate his game tomorrow.

I’m just bored of the same old winners of Humphries and littler now. Was better before littler came around

110 average!! and still not winning for Cross. Littler just bores me. cross 3 darts at D4 for 6-4 and misses was the turning point. 7-6 up and throwing for the match, too. Took out my 200/1 wattimena, who hit a 100 plus average too, in losing. Just inevitable even when cross throwing for the match.

3pts Price to beat Bunting evens Paddypower I don't see how Price is the underdog in this match. The crowd have been firmly on his side this weekend and he hasn't lost a match in Belgium. He's hit averages of 101.21 and then 104.87 in the beating of Anderson. Bunting has played well too and hit good averages but he hasn't played anybody that has played that well against him IMO and it's been a nice route for him. Van Den Bergh hit a 93 average, Josh Rock should have beaten Bunting in the end really with Bunting hitting a Bull winner in that decider and then De Decker hit a 95 average. I can see a Littler/Price final now

Grand annual Solness 8.7 16/1 Pembroke 8.5 44.0 Path doro 8.4 12.5 Saint roi 8.2 Dancing on own 8.2 Another tricky hcap ....at current prices I'll try 10pt on top 3 and forecasts

4.37 Naas 1pt e/w DIOL KER 14/1 bog 4 places

Bet 9 is £14.92 on >0.5 goals in Liverpool v Man City at 1.04 No prizes for originality but I was expecting to see a price that struck me as too short as opposed to acceptable so the trigger is pulled.

Ok, I read it completely wrong. 6-1 Cross, Noppert was awful.

Back to me with £14.92

ULTIMA HANDICAP CHASE A good run last time is important. 8 of the last 10 winners (from 90 runners) came in the top third last time and returned a profit. The remainder have a record of 2 wins from 130 runs with a loss of 71 points. For such a competitive handicap the betting is a good guide. Those in the top 6 of the forecast betting have 9 wins from 68 runs with a profit of 32 points. The remainder have just 1 win from 152 runs with a loss of 103 points. Ideally the horse should have had a win in the last 3 runs. These horses have a record of 6 wins from 84 runs with a profit of 17 points. 4 of the last 10 winners (from 31 runners) had their last run at Cheltenham. The current 4th favourite STUMPTOWN ticks all these boxes and is available at 9/1 with some bookmakers (6 places).

CHAMPION HURDLE This is a race where the favourite has an extremely strong record. 7 of the last 10 races have been won by the forecast favourite, with a ROI of 67%. Horses should have had at least 4 wins in the last 6 races. There have been 67 horses that did not meet this criterion and all of them have lost. The last win should have been in the last 78 days. Those that did not have a record of 0 from 55. The last win should have been by at least 2 lengths. There were 65 horses that did not and only 1 won. It is not very exciting but STATE MAN ticks all the boxes but at a skinny price of 2/5.

Cheeky cheeky lol. You've got to enjoy these victories. After the first 10 to 15 games it looked like we were on track for the record lowest points score in the Championship.

Yep,it's getting a bit tight at the bottom of the table. Probably 50/50 that we'll be playing you lot next season.

Wednesdays won a couple of games MC getting a bit excited.

Brighton v Notts Forrest over 0.5 goals @ 1.05

Won SP 3/1 Profit £ 75.60 Monthly profit £ 114.20

the top half is wide open now. I suppose Littler has it open for him but Heta beat him recently and Cullen is bang in form at the moment. Bottom half still has Price, Humphries and Cross in it, for De Decker so it will be pretty difficult for him to get into a final. He hasn't hit a decent average yet.

Whatever your bet returns, so it would include the extras, that's why a real bet is preferable. as for banana tits Ulrika some might prefer Dolph Lundgren so we will stick to big swede referring to a big head (erm thats not to say Ulrika couldn't give a little head if u asked her nicely) @LEE-GRAYS is the man for the big swede, straight from the allotment if he can put down his racing post for 10 mins to plant some.

No, you've got me this time I did miss off the EW, it does happen occasionally I will adjust in the next table There is a fair amount of manual input so it's worth checking, I don't take offence !

The "muppet clause" as it's known!

Get that pro plus in ready @MCLARKE 😁

It’s one of the main reasons I liked darts so much but it’s becoming like all the other sports where it’s completely dominated
