Mobsta    98.99 
 
Well.....it's the beginning of the flat season so all the results are hit and miss because of fitness issues ..but on paper magical memory is vastly clear in this race ....nice to see him installed as favourite and I'm surprised actually to see paddyp offering 100/30 as I'd originally priced him up as 9/4 based on his rating superiority so I'm going to hold on a bit and see if anyone offers better else I'll take that .....mobsta is non push over but onnpaper he's rating about 10lbs behind magical memory so even the 9/1 doesnt look value against favourites price ........might use this as double platform with Saturday's Scottish champion as there's some nice ratings for that race just coming off comp too ....
Magical memory 10 pts win best price (will update shortly)

reasoning in daily thread

Cheltenham 4:10 : The Eaglehaslanded @ 14/1 bet365 e/w thanks
The Eaglehaslanded.....from Paul Nicholls yard the 6yo has won two hurdle races, a NH flat race and a point-to-point from 2m 1f to 3m on good to firm and soft ground, He comes here after pulling up 60 days ago at Exeter 2m7f Heavy where he made a mistake at 7th and was never in race after that with Sam Twiston-Davies PU before last , The yard gave him plenty of time to recover and yard are having blinkers on for first time and better conditions could be a plus with Sam keeping the ride as he had a choice of three Nicholls runners in race

C5.20 Minellaforleisure 6/1 Bet365
This one was only beaten by a well handicapped horse in this last year and looks to have every chance under similar terms here with the same rider on board. Global Thrill at 33/1 looks to have an e/w chance as well 
 
 

4.30 Newmarket - Mahsoob @ 5/1 William Hill
This one was prominent in the King George betting last summer and is clearly still very highly rated as he carries a Lockinge entry. He was keen over 12f last year and connections believe he is getting quicker with age. They also say he looks great after being freshened up as his form tailed off towards the end of last season. He already has strong form and still looks unexposed.

430 Nm: Earl Of Sefton Stakes
Preview
Dutch Connection now a NR
Selection:  Mahsoob EW 6/1 888Sport
Verdict:
A cracking renewal of the Sefton Stakes and I cant see past Dutch Connection on this occasion. He has the form to win in higher class than this and has done nothing wrong to date. He has to prove his stamina, which is the only slight worry, but I reckon his class will pull him through as long as this ground doesn’t get too soft. Air Pilot and Custom Cut are very solid rivals and the selection will not have it all his own away I’m sure. Mahsoob could improve and nick a place but I’d be surprised if he’s good enough to take this. A fascinating contest and a race that could provide plenty of future winners.

Aintree 1.40 - Arzal 13/2 Paddy Power

Aintree 5.15 Kayf Grace @ 14/1 with Bet365

Not the best card to punt at the Curragh tomorrow but it's certainly interesting with Found returning as well as Derby mover US Army Ranger set to make his debut. Nothing stands out in the opening 2 maidens at the prices. 
In the 3rd race Master Speaker has to have a good chance with Ryan Moore booked as he got no sort of run the last day and was sure to go very very close. However he's only 2lbs better off with Bubbly Bellini and 1lb better off with Club Wexford so 4/1 is short enough for me. I preferred Mr Right at 20/1. He's progressed nicely on the all weather over the winter culminating with a 2nd in a race working out well. He has to prove himself on turf but he was tried over a variety of trips last season and probably not showing much so he just looks an improved horse this time around. Still lightly raced there's still scope for improvement off 71.
The Gladness Stakes looks full of horses who aren't going to run to form between Sruthan who doesn't run to his best twice in a row, the O'Brien trio who are going to need the run and Gordon Lord Byron who doesn't look to be the same horse and again will come on for the run. Of the outsiders I think Weld's Joailliere still has plenty of scope for improvement, will love the ground and the step back to 7f will suit so I'll take her against the field. I would have liked to have seen more from Onenightidreamed in the Irish Lincoln to consider him and Flight Risk is more exposed than Joailliere at a similar price. Unfortunately the ground has ruled out the promising Endless Drama.
As much as I wanted to take on Found she handles the ground and the only one who is anywhere near to her on form is Bocca Baciata who is short enough at 7/2. I could forgive Success Days' Derby run but he was really poor in Germany off a good break and giving weight he's also not appealing.
Cassells Rock looks well handicapped off 75 after being given what looked to be one of the softest rides of the year in a Cesarewitch Trial at Newmarket with a mark of 84. He was poor on his next two runs though so he maybe he's just not that good but it's impossible to know with the Tony Martin yard. If he was trying I think he could take some beating but who knows and I don't like anything else so I'll leave the race alone.
The concluding maiden is a cracker with the big Derby mover US Army Ranger making his debut but the Weld horse is also highly rated and has been smashed in tonight. The Coolmore second string also looks promising and there's really nothing I fancy so I'll watch with interest.
3.15 Curragh - Mr Right @ 20/1 Paddy Power
3.50 Curragh - Joailliere @ 10/1 William Hill

Cracking picks!

I've taken a chance on Secret Brief, Farlow and Heavens Guest ew. You got to love the Fahey horses this time of year and I can see them all going well despite being high enough in the weights.

2.15 donny~DONNCHA 16/1 e/w  top weight has  the class to go very close looks a very decent e/w chance 5 places goes on any ground and a  mile is fine. Bottom weight BIG TIME 50/1  is way over price  can go well for Dandy with Franny booked to get the leg up!
