2.15 Chester Terrific 5/2 BetVictor BOG

Terrific won twice at the Curragh last season and was a fast finishing 3rd to stable companion Dazzling over 10f at Navan on here first run back in listed company. She should come on for the run and the extra 2f should also be in her favour. In addition over the last few years O' Brien has a great record at this fixture. The one to beat!

Re: BBOTD Tuesday 6th 4.30 Fakenham Earth Dream 2/1 Paddy Power BOG Rockiteer is in good form and comes here off the back of a couple of Ludlow victories. However Earth Dream is also in form having finished 4th in the Foxhunters at Aintree and gets the nod on the basis of his course form here most notably when winning here over this course and distance in April 2012 where his margin of victory was almost the length of the straight! 1 Point win for nap purposes Earth Dream 2/1 Paddy Power BOG

5.05 Fairyhouse Tawseef 7/4 Boylesports BOG Tawseef went down narrowly at Limerick before giving Emperor Of Exmoor a fright here over over this distance on Easter Sunday and ought to make his experience tell here. 10 Points win Tawseef 7/4 Boylesports BOG 7.10 Fairyhouse Cailin Annamh 15/8 BetVictor BOG Cailin Annamh was the best of these over hurdles and likes this ground. With the stable flying, she should win today provided she jumps around safely. She won a grade 3 over hurdles and ran against Quevega at Chelenham lto. 10 Points win Cailin Annamh 15/8 BetVictor BOG 7.40 Fairyhouse Knockanarigan 7/2 Paddy Power BOG Hughes seldom leaves Fairyhouse empty handed and Knockanarigan who likes this ground and was second over hurdles lto at Tipperary should make no mistake this time. 10 points win Knockanarigan 7/2 Paddy Power BOG 2.30 Fakenham Not Til Monday 9/4 Paddy Power BOG Not Til Monday likes it here and won this race last year. Looks in a good position to do so again. 10 Points win Not Til Monday 9/4 Paddy Power BOG 3.30 Fakenham Olivers Hill 11/8 Paddy Power BOG Olivers Hill was running on over 20f on Saturday at Uttoxeter and over this more suitable trip and in a weaker race, should win today. 10 Points win Olivers Hill 11/8 Paddy Power BOG 4.00 Fakenham Superior Quality 13/8 BetFred BOG Superior Quality went down narrowly to Benefit Cut last month at Ascot and should gain compensation here at the expense of Lamb Or Cod who will surely not be suited by this tight circuit. 10 Points win Superior Quality 13/8 BetFred BOG 4.30 Fakenham Earth Dream 2/1 Paddy Power BOG Rockiteer is in good form and comes here off the back of a couple of Ludlow victories.

[Flat Racing > Monday May 5th]

Re: Flat Racing > Monday May 5th 3.05 Curragh Michaelmas 7/2 Bet365 BOG Michaelmas was highly regarded last season and wound up with a second in a Group3 at Leopardstown to stable companion Craftsman. Very raw and always learning last year he should know more about the job this year and given the stable's improvement in form over the past week should prove the one to beat. 10 Points win Michaelmas 7/2 Bet365 BOG 5.25 Curragh Peace Burg 9/2 Boylesports BOG I don't consider 3yos in pattern races against the older horses at this time of year so that leaves Wannabe Better who is better left handed and Peace Purg who has won a group 2 level and if fit which she should be will win on the basis that she has achieved more than her rivals. 10 Points win Peace Burg 9/2 Boylesports BOG 5.55 Curragh Household Cavalry 9/2 Paddy Power BOG O' Brien has a great record in 3yo maidens here and with the stable in form now he has to be the selection playing the percentages game. 10 Points win Household Cavalry 9/2 Paddy Power BOG

1.45 Kempton Nordic Quest 7/4 Paddy Power BOG

Nordic Quest won a maiden hurdle at Wincaton lto on good ground very easily and is the selection given the stable's good record here and the ground which might not be than amenable to Huff And Puff who was beaten by Sign Of A Victory on soft at Newbury in March

10 Points win Nordic Quest 7/4 Paddy Power BOG

4.05 Down Royal Jansboy 5/4 Stan James BOG

Jansboy improved last season and with the benefit of a run last week when third behind Operating should win this barring accidents.

[Flat Racing > Sunday May 4th]

Re: Flat Racing > Sunday May 4th 5.55 Sligo Sherama 7/2 Paddy Power BOG With the Oxx stable finally amongst the winners, Sherama can provide him with another winner. Her form is the best in the race by quite some way. Starting with a 3rd behind the useful I'm Yours at Leopardstown last backend, she then ran 3rd behind Walzing Matilda again at Leopardstown last month before running 2nd to Sparkle Factor at Limerick. Now stepped up to a more suitable trip she should win today. Ode To Pysche has useful form too and with the stable in form is a danger. 10 Points win Sherama 7/2 Paddy Power BOG 2.40 Newmarket Integral 11/8 Bet365 BOG Integral finished 2nd to Sky Lantern here on her last run last season to continue her improvement. Her stable has a great record in this race and having hit form should further add to that record here. Integral herself has the best form also. 10 Points win Integral 11/8 Bet365 BOG

Re: National Hunt Racing > Friday May 2nd Hey thanks for your replies and especially to Aidy for being so honest. This is my passion. You win some, you lose some and you take both.

3.50 Newmarket Australia 4/1 Stan James BOG

There is no doubting the credentials of Kingman who who was brilliant in his trial at Newbury, however the vibes for Australia have been very strong and the stable was just about there at Naas on monday. Australia demolished Free Eagle at Leopardstown in what I believe was the best 2yo performance of the season. Going head to head now, my money is on Australia with the greatest respect for Kingman

10 Points win Australia 4/1 Stan James BOG

3.10 Newmarket Trading Leather Evs Bet365 BO

G Trading Leather is a Group 1 horse in a Group 2 race against good but not outstanding horses. He has already won at group 1 level and if he has trained on he is a certainty.

5.30 Punchestown Hurricane Fly 6/5 Paddy Power BOG

JezKi may have won the Champion Hurdle but he has never troubled Hurricane Fly in Ireland and until he does so you can't tip him against him. Hurricane Fly has always been better here and people seem to be getting carried away by the Cheltenham race.

10 Points win Hurricane Fly 6/5 Paddy Power BOG

4.55 Punchestown Utopie Des Bordes 3/1 Boylesports BOG

Utopie Des Bordes is miles better over fences than hurdles and this looks hers for the taking having scored in Grade 1 company in France. Her dangers on paper look to be her stable companions but in all fairness the real dangers look to be the fences.

10 Points win Utopie Des Bordes 3/1 Boylesports BOG 6.05 Punchestown Vautour 1/3 & 6.40 Punchestown Arctic Fire 8/11 both Bet365

Both of these only have to go down and come back. Vautour has already demolished Lieutenant Colonel this season, while Arctic Fire has kept the best company all season, only losing out by 0.5 lengths in the County Hurdle lto when ridden by the useless Casey.

10 Points win Double Vautour 1/3 & Arctic Fire 8/11 Bet365 (works out 2.303) 7.45 Punchestown On The Fringe 5/4 Paddy Power BOG

On The Fringe has run well this year and should win this having finished 3rd at Cheltenham and 2nd at Leopardstown to Tammys Hill before that. He has won this race before too.

10 Points win On The Fringe 5/4 Paddy Power BOG

Finally an apology to anyone who was badly stung on yesterdays selections. If it is any consolation, I was too, but we will put that behind us quickly and rack up a few winners

5.30 Punchestown Quevega 11/10 Paddy Power BOG

Nice to start the new month with a winner which will come thanks to Quevega who hacked up in this last year and still possesses an engine. Year after year she wins at Cheltenham and here and proved lto that she has lost none of her sparkle. Another for the heavy hitters.

10 Points win Quevega 11/10 Paddy Power BOG

6.40 Punchestown Champagne Fever 13/8 Stan James BOG

Christmas is coming early with Champagne Fever who will win barring accidents. Caught on the line at Cheltenham, this weaker opposition and less demanding circuit will be more amenable to him and he should have improved since Cheltenham as it was his first run in 3 months. Will win.

10 Points win Champagne Fever 13/8 Stan James BOG

7.45 Punchestown Tell Us More 10/11 Boylesports BOG

Tell Us More could not have been any more impressive at Gowran lto and is another for the heavy hitters here. No danger.

10 Points win Tell Us More 10/11 Boylesports BOG 7.15 Punchestown Urticaire 5/2 Stan James BOG

Another for Mullins here with Urticaire holding all the aces now back to 2m. Caught on the run in at Limerich 2 runs ago but will be on the top of her game today. Although the weakest of the Mullins big 4 today, should still win.

10 Points win Urticaire 5/2 Stan James BOG

4.50 Punchestown Quantitativeeasing 5/1 Boylesports BOG

Bolger has a copy of this track at home and as a consequence has a great record in these races here. Quantitativeeasing had a bit of class with Henderson and I have no doubt whatsoever that his enthusiasm will be rekindled in these races. Will like the ground which has been against him and should win.

10 Points win Quantitativeeasing 5/1 Boylesports BOG

I seriously advise you to have 4 or preferably 5 figure bets on my first 3 selections. We very seldom get a chance to put one over on the bookies but today is one such day. Good Luck!
