    Newmarket 1.50 The first of six races screened by the ITV cameras is the 6F class 2 handicap for three year olds which has attracted a good sized field of 17. This really does have an open look about it with any market moves to be taken seriously. Adrian Nicholls’s Ingleby Ivy is one to keep an eye on having impressed when winning at Ripon by 4 1/4L last September prior to being out of his depth in listed company at York. Simon & Ed Crisford’s Rabaah Racing owned Pen Portrait is another interesting runner who’s making his handicap debut here having been gelded. He beat one of his opponents City House by 3/4L at Wolverhampton last September and is actually 5lb better off now. He could be a player but it’s the John & Thady Gosden trained Gamekeeper who catches my eye. This is his handicap debut and although some of the Gosden runners are need ing their first run this one was last seen only 22 days ago when third in a hot novice stakes at Kempton. William Buick is booked and he’s the one for me.   GAME KEEPER 1 point each way @ 15/1 William Hill 1/5th 12345   Cheltenham 2.05 The first of two races covered by the ITV cameras is this ten runner mares only handicap chase run over 3m 1F 56 yards. Charlie Longsdon saddles an interesting runner in the shape of I Am Gonna Be who has joined Longsdon from Lucinda Russell and has had a wind operation since last seen 104 days ago. The most likely winner though has to be last year’s runner up Juniper who is trained by Anthony Honeyball in Dorset. The ten year old comes here in excellent form having won her last two starts at Taunton and Wincanton rising 11lb on soft ground. The ground was good when she ran so well to finish runner up to My Silver Lining last year for Harry Whittington and although she is now 12lb higher appears to have improved for the stable switch. She’s the bet here although I can’t resist a small each way saver on I Am Gonna Be.   JUNIPER 1 point each way @ 9/2 Betfred 1/5th 1234 I AM GONNA BE 1/2 point each way @ 12/1 Betfred 1/5th 1234   Newmarket 2.25 The 1M Wood Ditton Stakes features thirteen unraced three year olds in a race that is going to be worth following over the following month or so. The best guide here will be the market with the likes of Charlie Appleby’s full brother to Key Victory, First Conquest and the trio of John & Thady Gosden runners Earl Of Rochester, Pipes And Drums and Lead Artist all worth monitoring in the market. The only runner in the field who has future group entries at this stage is the Amo Racing owned, Dominic Ffrench-Davis trained Padesha who is entered in the Dante, Irish & English Derbys and the Irish 2000 Guineas. With little to go on I’ll take a chance on the latter who’s fancy entries surely suggest he can go a bit.   PADESHA 1 point win @ 4/1 bet365   Cheltenham 2.40 A near maximum field of seventeen face the judge for this 2M 4F 56 yard mares handicap hurdle. The race has a wide open look about it with the favourite around the 7/1 mark. Dan Skelton is always to be feared in these type of contests and saddles a brace of runners here in Notnowlinda and Cottie. The latter is ridden for the first time by Harry Skelton on only her fourth start for his brother, having previously been trained in Ireland by Henry De Bromhead. She’s an intriguing runner especially if the money comes for her but the one I like is the Philip Kirby trained Lone Star. She came into this race last year having won five of her previous six starts as a 9/1 chance and finished sixth (beaten 13L). She can race off of a handicap mark 8lb lower today having shown little on her last four starts which all came on unflavoured soft ground. With drying ground very much in her favour she can run a big race with regular pilot Joe Williamson in the saddle.   LONE STAR 1 point each way @ 14/1 bet365 1/5th 12345   Newmarket 3.00 Next up is the 6F Group 3 Abernant Stakes run over 6F. This has supposedly been the target for Richard Hannon’s Shouldhavebeenaring who was incredibly easy to back at Wolverhampton following a 160 day beak 40 days ago drifting from 11/10 out to 9/4 and running as the market suggested. His trainer stated afterwards his early season target is this race so he has to be given a big chance although the one I like is Karl Burke’s Marshman who unlike the majority of his opponents today comes here with a recent run under his belt which must be a big bonus. That run came in the Cammidge Trophy Stakes at Doncaster on Lincoln day when running a decent neck second to the fast finishing William Haggas runner Montassib (4th Adaay In Devon won handicap since). He’s a consistent sprinter who, with that run behind him, can run well in a competitive renewal.   MARSHMAN 1 point each way @ 13-2 Coral 1/5th 1234   Newmarket 3.35 The meeting’s feature race is the 1M Craven Stakes which has attracted just seven runners this season. John & Thady Gosden’s Eben Shaddad brings the best form to the table with his Dewhurst third to City Of Troy (beaten 4 1/2L at 25/1) making him the joint officially top rated with Andre Fabre’s French challenger Alcantor. A Group 3 winner at Saint Cloud and runner up in the Group 1 Criterium International to David Menusier’s Sunway he has some solid juvenile form although all of his efforts came on soft ground. If there’s one horse in the race who may just be better than that pair then surely it’s the Charlie Appleby trained Native Approach, an imposing son of Too Darn Hot who followed up a debut second at Kempton by taking a maiden in easy style in February. That form will need to be bettered to take this but the vibes are strong and with his trainer having won this race three times in the last five years he has to be the pick here under William Buick.   NATIVE APPROACH 1 point win @ 9/4 William Hill

    Hi and good morning to all with the 3 day Craven meeting commencing today at Newmarket 🐎.......had a nice email from our friends in Newmarket who are going and have posted below some pointers from the message for the less knowledgeable ( which includes us ) that may help some......so good luck to all who will participate over the 3 days and also see how the 'wise owls and knowledgeable' who we do follow on here do to with their selections 🤞............   
     
    Hello to 'Beauty and the Beast' 😂 a few reminders for the 1st meeting here, so thought would email them as the 'Bossy Blonde Beauty' will only ask me later for some finer details wont she as usual! ( wish could see her face when she reads this bit 😂 )
    * these 3 days are run on the Rowley Mile Course. Remember it goes April / may (Rowley) then June / July / August ( July course) then back on Rowley to finish the season
    * no tv coverage today, days 2 / 3 are
    * remember has longest straight in UK over 1.2 Miles
    * this undulating wide track suits gallopers, dropping down into the dip, before long uphill run in to finish line
    * so generally horses that commit too early get caught on the uphill run to finish line remember
    * speak to you both later from the course and also looking forward to seeing you both at Guineas meeting

    Hi Ladies and Gentlemen.
    My name is Justin (and yes I'm very "Fat and Happy"). Been a passionate Horse Racing fan all my life (Great Uncle was a jockey, Grandparents were massive punters, Grandmother and her second partner were Bookmakers parents enjoy the game). Owned a small share in a Racehorse but love going Racing (especially Newbury). Love betting but find Online Betting worrying so a bit scared of that but wanting to try it. I am also passionate about Animal Welfare. I love racing people (I've met a number of lovely racing "personalities"). I also love my Horse Racing books and I am a huge fan of the great Alistair Down. I love a bit of writing myself. Too be honest I love everything "Horse Racing". I also enjoy Snooker and Rugby Union. Once I get the hang of this I can't wait to contribute! Justin. X. 🏇.

    Just in from work.
    Fab day today, way up for the week now, favs done me a turn.
    Arizona came in at 20s, which I didn't know till I just checked.
    Got a good few freebies for tomorrow, also mgm have 100% profit bet fpr GN so was only going to go £5, but will go max bet on it now.
    Only last 2 races no winners, jukebox best a treble and had afadil on the last, also go Dante, but wish jockey had just not started as now will be a losing bet, god knows what horse was playing at, but probably peed off with the constant non starts, meh.
    All in all brilliant day though.

    Gone in early, maybe too early but had a small wager on Panda Boy 66/1
    Just re watched the Irish National.
    Had a chance 2 out but pecked a little bit on landing. Will turn 8 this year so should be a bit stronger.
