I’m trying a new tactic tomorrow with my jumps selections . I think I need to improve my ratings a touch and I’ll see how this works . Completely different to how I normally do it.
Stratford 5.25Gentleman Valley 134 5/2
Mr Years 133 4/1
Shantou Express 130 6/1
Hoganville 130 11/2
Gentleman comes out on top. Ticks the boxes for distance , going and class too. He’s actually upped in distance an extra 3 furlongs but I suspect he’ll stay that .
5 points win
No luck , hope this dry run ends soon before I have to stop the kids pocket money to fund my nags 😉

Good run from Icare Allen there wasn’t too far away in 4th . Nice one for the ew backers but no money for me who had it on the nose . Good run for my money that’s all you can ask.

Same with any good tipster I suppose. I've tried a few in my earlier days but never made much money. I think a lot of the enjoyment is winning with your own selections.
No better feeling than putting in your own work and the horse winning , or going on a good run with your selections.

I don’t think anyone is judging his selection skills . He obviously knows what he’s doing, but some people sometimes question him putting out throw away bets for bookies and also his profits that he puts out there. Not sure if any of that has any grounds for discussion but I do know it’s hard to get on at the prices he puts up.

Does anyone have an up to date national hunt course classification table .....like which courses are class a class b etc I can't seem to find my copy ... t.i.a 😀
This may help although it doesn’t give exactly what you’re after but you could build severing around this I suppose.

Galway Plate Chase
Easy Game 9.32 18/1
Fury Road 8.97 12/1
The Goffer 8.91 14/1
Kilcruit 8.9 13/2
A Wave Of The Sea 8.76 40/1
Super competitive race 22 runners. This race is usually won by unexposed novice types carrying less than 11 stone but the last two renewals of been won by classy types Hewick last year and Royal Rendezvous the year before carrying big weights . Hewick returns along with some other big names. Hewick scores low on going and his current mark hence why not in the picture for me but he’s a real class act. I hope conditions don’t get too testing for Easy Game although he has won on soft ground before but wouldn’t want it too bad. Finished second in this race two years ago and 10th last year off a pound higher but was hampered twice which killed momentum near the end. 11,4 isn’t the end of the world because he’s has lots of class about him .
I’ll be brave and go 5 points on the nose
Way back last of the finishing horses . Wave Of The Sea the only one in my top 5 to finish in top 5

Definitely isn’t , probably same thing sent out to other websites .

It didn’t seem too bad yesterday but obviously the rain arrived overnight . Galway got off lightly I think and the going has gone from Yielding to Good/Yielding which favours my selection and the likes of Hewick. Hewick will have to run to 170+ to win this I’d have thought which is an almighty ask.

Big jumps race in Ireland worth 270k euros, The Galway Plate. Will look forward to going through it on a bit. Any thoughts ?

Regarding Lord Riddifords previous form you can ignore that because every time he’s won at Goodwood he’s had poor form . He loves the course , connections target this race so anything previous or after just put a line through because this is his target. Also helped he was on a lower mark than his previous festival win. Well done winners.
Existent was my top rated for this race which finished 2nd. Lord Riddiford and the favourite were joint top rated in the RPR/Weight experiment I’m doing

Took 18/1 for finest view now at 22s and 11/4 for Honey I’m good
Also want to make a point of mentioning Irish Prophecy who I flagged up on here for his last run over fences . Ran well after a break running very prominent and was stretched by the 3.2 miles running out of steam around the 3m mark and maybe lack of fitness. He’s been dropped 7Ibs for that and also has a run over hurdles under his belt . I think he could be ready to strike very soon and at a big price, maybe today will be his day back at his preferred 3 miles . Also just noticed he has a 5Ibs claimer on board today , so he’s very well in here imo .
