What a run by Al Dancer . Relentless start to finish. If Remastered hadn’t of fell I probably would have had the 1 2 3 on ratings .

12.42 Kelso Charlie Uberalles 20/1 win skybet

Aintree 1.30 Bold Endeavour 49.5 5/1 Willaston 48.65 7/1 Harbour Lake 46.35 4/1 won Aintree 2.40 Frero Banbou 49.5 5/1 Percussion/ Outlaw Peter 48.65 13/2 8/1 Authorised Art 47.7 18/1 Kelso 12.42 Charlie Uberalles 50 12/1 2nd 25/1 Half Shot 48.20 15/2 3rd Ned Tanner 46.20 8/1 4th Wincanton 3.30 Lord Accord 48.65 7/2 2nd Al Dancer 47.5 16/1 won 25/1 Remastered 46.6 9/1 Funds still not great so I’ll put top rated in lucky 15 25p per line equals £4.50 I’ll also play 50p trebles on the top two minus the 2.40 Aintree race which comes to £4.00

What an underwhelming jumps card tomorrow. Low numbers with even the big handicaps only just getting double figures.

They weren’t a bad band either

2.40 Clonmel Fakir d’ Oudaries 7/4 skybet

I’ve noticed there were several 5 year olds in the race , how did you decide which one?

Second on RPR ratings and came 2nd in a grade 2 at 90/1. Trying 2m for the first time .

Streets Of Doyen certainly has the back class . He jumped out at me also but yeah it’s not the greatest looking national race.

I found this quite hard to rate . Sir Bob and Positive thinker were in my top 3 along with Jumping Jet . My preference is for the latter because of the ground which probably won’t suit the other two and Sir Bob is 12 now and hasn’t had a prep run but we’ll see . Some unexposed types in here which are hard to rate.

Definitely agree with you there AOB has a luxury of talent at his disposal. I find it hard to take to him as a trainer because of that reason alone but I also recognise he’s very good at his job and has an excellent main jockey in Ryan Moore . I think City Of Troy is a very good horse but one of the greats ? Nah not a chance .

Carlisle 3.23 Iron Bridge 6/1 win skybet

2.18 Carlisle My Bobby Dazzler 44.05 7/1 Castle Rushen 41.9 10/1 won Punta Del Esce 40.15 3/1 3rd Bingo 38.8 14/1 15.23 Carlisle Iron Bridge 50 13/2 3rd Snipe 46.35 10/3 2nd Universal Folly 44.6 11/2 4th Flower Of Scotland 44.4 28/1 Those are my ratings for Carlisle. There’s also a horse that is standing out at a big price in the 2.53 listed chase at Carlisle. The favourite Galia Des Literuex is the hot favourite and the class horse but is running way short of her optimum trip and is coming off a long break. La Domaniale is a grade 3 winner and is 18/1 with distance and fitness on his side . There’s also some unexposed types running in this small field but have been running in lower class races.

Yeah Southwell has a kick back doesn’t it? Must say I didn’t think he would come close but I was hoping he would win .

I get what you mean regarding O’Brien. Take nothing away from COT he’s a very good horse but he looked like he was running in a bog today .

City Of Troy did not like that surface . Looked like he hated every second of it.

That was some performance from him.

Sorry to mess it up but I’ve just noticed Skybet is not allowed

4.08 Wetherby Topofthecotswolds 11/2 win Skybet

Wetherby 1.15 Arthurs Quay 49.5 14/1 William Cody 49 7/1 Tedley 42.3 3/1 Wetherby 4.08 Topofthecotswolds 50 7/1 Roll With It 49 6/1 Geryville 47.7 4/1

3.45 Ascot Two For Gold 48.65 16/1 Amirite 48.65 11/2 Flegmatik 46.35 Got 3 top rated here . Two For Gold has only finished outside the top two at ascot once in 6 visits, but is 11 years old now. He’s gone well fresh in the past but I just feel this is likely to go to Our Power . Our Power will come on for the run the trainer has said so that doesn’t fill me with confidence . Henry De Bromhead hasn’t sent Amirite over for nothing .

3.15 Ascot Tapley 47.7 10/1 Afadil 42.3 14/1 Our Champ 42.1 12/1 Fiercely Proud 42.1 7/2 Secret Squirrel 42.1 7/2 As Richard stated there is value to be had outside the top two in the betting
