I’ve had a small bash on Valain in the hurdle today. Not hugely confident, as it’s very competitve, but he wouldn’t be too harshly treated off 121 today.
Just to tell anyone punting here at Galway that there’s a serious band of rain imminent- the ground may well change before Hurdle time.
because of weld’s form at festival if he thinks majestic concorde has a chance at 6/1 i will have some of that but it’s more hopefull than confident also think Eagles pass has a nice e/w chance!!
Rounded out my ante-post portfolio on the 2 big races today with Ladbrokes, NRNB:
In the Plate I’ve backed Green Mile at 12/1, Oslot at 9/1 and Brave Right at 25/1. (first 2 a while ago)
In the Hurdle I like Cloone Rocket (16/1 NRNB, 20/1 all in) and Indian Pace at 20/1.
Paddy Power look to have taken a chance to me putting in Arc Bleu at 12/1 for the GPT tonight, for all that a drop of rain would help- these hustly-bustly races suit him well and he’s only 5lbs higher than at Newcastle.First time I can remember getting the Plate/Hurdle double up and extra satisfaction that I finally caught Ladbrokes on their ante post NRNB for a right few quid. How good does the Pierse Hurdle form look now?
Pity it was such a wet Ladies day and the race buses afterwards were nothing short of a disgrace but at that stage I didn’t care! Normally (pre no. 1 son) I’d be in the middle of the madness now, not studying for tomorrow- how times change! Another great festival, even if the figures were down a bit.I didn’t back Oslot at Galway, but well done tot hose that did – he scooted in!
And well done Carvs on getting Indian Pace – well backed on the day.

Just to tell anyone who might be affected that Ladbrokes have withdrawn their NRNB concession in Irish shops on Irish ante post. I wasn’t aware of this until I went to collect my Galway bets- I was lucky that only 1 was an NR. If you read back my lays and plays thread, I predicted this wouldn’t last the year that they promised in January!
