Carl Posted November 13, 2004 Author Share Posted November 13, 2004 Re: Smash and grab. Ollie Magern - 2.45 - Cheltenham interestingly in the same race - 7-2 Jumped well, made all, quickened after 2 out, comfortably,won at Cheltenham 3m nov chs (B) gd in Oct beating Comply Or Die by 2 1/2l, If this horse can beat comply or die then surly its worth a shout at E/W curently 10/1 Thisthatandtother - 2.45 - Cheltenham-He is trained by Paul Nicholls, whose team are now in terrific form, and has such a powerful squad down at Ditcheat.Interesting that they stepped him up in distance as his last few runs over the minimum distance seemed to have this horse in top gear all the way. The extra half mile could get him into a better rhythm and I think that off 10-12 he is a very interesting runner indeed and remains highly promising.WIN BET Saturdays extra: 13.35 chelt-Be Fair- I have had a whisper about this horse that it will win.:hope Well Thisthatandtother got clipped by Farmer Jack as he went down,but he should have really won it but he got 2nd. And Ollie ran well but ended up 4th. so close....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Posted November 15, 2004 Author Share Posted November 15, 2004 Re: Smash and grab. Raw Silk - 2.20 - Leicester win The race could be run to suit this one,a fair hurdler at his best; seemed to lose way in the summer of 2003 but returned from 14-month absence in style on chasing debut at Carlisle, readily accounting for Jodante after a good round of jumping; should build on that provided he doesn´t bounce. Jodante - 2.20 - Leicester E/W Keen sort; easily best effort over hurdles when clear second best off mark of 104 at Hereford (2m1f, good to soft) in April; rein broke on chasing debut but showed he has a future at this game with creditable fourth behind some promising types at Wetherby last month and can do better again so id expect him for a place.

Colmar Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 Re: Smash and grab. Watched this one the day. Raw Silk was very close to coming through but the gap was too large. Another 100m and it could have been a different story. The odds were 11/4 at one stage. Got on at 9/4 as I didn't see them getting any larger:o Jadonte was well up the field early on (if my memory serves me right) but drifted out of the running. Lets hope for a better day the morn.

Carl Posted November 16, 2004 Author Share Posted November 16, 2004 Tuesday 16 Nov Lucky Leader in the 3.00 at Newton Abbot Hit and miss last season but returned with a creditable fourth at Exeter and a similar display should ensure that he is thereabouts unless stamina becomes an issue (stays at least 3m).E/W Colourful Life - 3.00 - Newton Abbot Ended long losing run with the switch to present yard when beating a good subsequent winner in quite a valuable chase at Bangor and no disgrace to be beaten by two well-handicapped rivals at Stratford since; should still be competitive off this sort of mark but going 2f into unknown territory here.WIN :hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wednesday 17th November Black Torrington in the 12.50 at Hexham Bettered is at a modest bumper form over 2m4f at this course on hurdles debut last time; goes on heavy ground and back in trip but improvement needed to win this but can see it in the places around 7/1 E/W. Champagne harry - 1.40 - Kempton Much better effort over fences when third at Exeter last month but still below the smart form he showed as a staying novice hurdler last term; can improve again and should win his share of chases.WIN 11/8 :hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saturday the 20th of November Another Joker in the 2.20 at Aintree, Front runner who has shown improved form this autumn, turning in a good round of jumping to win at Hereford (form worked out well) and following up in a weak race at Stratford (soft); further 9lb rise will make things much more difficult here and staminaunproven beyond 2m3f.E/W Colliers Court - 3.05 - Windsor Freerunning pacesetter but settled better since beaten 5l by Romany Court (2lb better off now) at Fontwell (2m2f) in September and rewarded with two impressive wins over this trip at Ludlow; the pick on official ratings, the track will suit and won´t mind the ground; major chance of completing hat-trickWIN :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
