2.10 Punchestown Marchese Marconi 3/1 Bet365 BOG Marchese Marconi was good on the flat and improved throughout the season last year finishing runner up in the Cez. With his stable coming in to form he looks the one to beat especially as Power rides him in preference to the favourite High Statos who won a bumper here at the festival 10 Points win Marchese Marconi 3/1 Bet365 BOG 4.30 Punchestown Steps To Freedom 11/10 Coral BOG Steps To Freedom was the best of these over hurdles and loves this ground. He was second at Roscommon at Killarney twice last season over fences. This more galloping trach should suit and he has won here before. 10 Points win Steps To Freedom 11/10 Coral BOG 8.50 Uttoxeter Forever Field 5/6 & 1.55 Bangor Grumetti 4/7 & Never Never Evs Paddy Power Forever Field has to be the selection from a stable who had a winner here on Wednesday. McCoy rides which suggests they mean business particularly as he has been riding a lot of McCain's horses lately. Grumetti is in a different league to these and will either win or fall. Never Never was 4th to Germany Calling last week at Uttoxeter and enjoys a huge fitness edge and experience over Handmaid. The others have no chance. 10 Points win Treble Forever Field 5/6 & Grumetti 4/7 & Never Never all Paddy Power (works out 5.762) 5.20 Bangor Quiet Candid 11/8 Stan James BOG Henderson bumper horses have to be taken seriously here at this time of year as he has an excellent record. Quiet Candid won an Irish point and was sold immediately and this looks a great opportunity for her to start repaying some of that money. 10 Points win Quiet Candid 11/8 Stan James BOG

Re: BBOTD Saturday 17th 18:10 Uttoxeter = 13.Midnight Thomas to be placed(1-2-3) @ 2.55 MARATHONBET (4/10 stake) My BBOTD comes from the 18:10 Uttoxeter meeting where unlucky 13 is about to break its duck luck by finally earn a place amongst first three according to my estimations. It finished 13l behind Tiradia when sixth of 15 at 10-1 on his latest outing in a hurdle race at Taunton over 2m 1f (good) last month. Can’t see a winner here but can see some effort which is all I want. I bank on a decent start that might just bring some profit at the final. :hope
