  1. There's 3 grade races at Navan today which makes for a pretty decent Jumps card

    12.40 - We have a well odds-on favourite here in My Mate Mozzie ....... this is a novice hurdle so not a great deal of form to go on but I'll take him on. His yard are not in great form (1 win from the last 39 runners), he's up in class and has been running in big field races. This might be tactically different. Enough there to think he might be vulnerable. I'll go with Elliott's horse, Chemical Energy at 5/2 bet365, who's won 3 out of his 5 starts, has won at the track and represents a top yard

    1.10 - Grade 2 Hurdle - looks like a 2 horse race with the Cheltenham Stayers Hurdle Champion, Flooring Porter (Favourite), taking on the 2nd from the Festival race. Same two trainers as in the race above .... so again I'll take on the Gavin Cromwell trained favourite and side with Elliott's Sire du Berlais at 2/1 bet365

    2,55 - Grade 2 two mile chase - This features former potential superstar Samcro who won his first 8 starts culminated in a Championship race at Cheltenham. But he does seem to have gone sour since ...... although he did come back to win again at the Cheltenham Festival. His last two runs have seen him beaten a combined 96 lengths. However he has now joined Gordon Elliott so maybe the master trainer can revive him and he's got all the headgear on today ......... it's probably his last chance saloon but I'll risk it for an Elliott Treble ..... Samcro at 2/1 bet365

  2. Too many meetings I think .....

    Also too many races aimed at the small group of decent horses ..... listed, group and decent conditions races all chasing the same few hundred horses. On the whole there doesn't seem to be a problem of small fields with lower class handicaps

    I don't mind one or two small fields at every meeting ...... gives you an opportunity to make a quick selection without spending ages looking at lots of entries

    I wouldn't like to go down the Hong Kong route where a card might be 8 pin sticking 14 runner handicaps

     

  3. Pretty much every race at Fontwell this afternoon has a short priced favourite .... 4 odds on. So maybe try out picking the 4 odds on shots and combining them with a couple of Racing Post picks at better odds in the 1.50 and 2.20 to see if we can get some multiples up

    12.40 World of Dreams 8/11
    1.15 - Nikap 2/7
    1.50 - Earth Business 3/1
    2.20 - Doukarov 8/1
    2.50 - Imphal 10/11
    3.20 - Tommy Beau 10/11

    prices bet365

    15 x £1 4-folds

    Need the odds on shots to come in (or at least 3 of them) plus one of the two at bigger prices !

    If nothing else it gives me an interest in a few races this afternoon !
