Thanks guys, and well played Grass and Ruby
Messier today, and hasn’t planned to top up my Antepost on Grangeclare, but even though the 33’s tells me “no”, I’ve topped up anyway.
Biggest frustration is not being able to bet King Alexander, who’s a proper notebook horse.

Champ Kiely 40’s EW
Grangeclare West 33’s2.30 Toll Stone 12-1 ew I like the jockey/trainer/owner combo though it depends on mark management for Galway I expect
3.05 Eagles Quest 28-1 ew Danny be trying hard to win for his mum and the owner (saw a nice interview with them, hope he does it)
3.40 I usually like this race and had hoped that Saint Baco would run here. Bit meh this year. Quinta de Lago? Bunting? Meh.
4.15 Espresso Milan 28s ew 4pl, super price, bet of the day for me
4.50 Dromard on the drift (ground related?)against razzier flattier types but I really like him and bet him anyway, think he’s going to be a good horse for the future. Some nice ones in here- I liked The Wager’s run at Cheltenham, and Of Land And Sea might be worth an ew at a big price- I loved the sire Crystal Ocean as a racehorse
5.25 Got to bet old pal Classic Getaway 25s ew even though big fields maybe not his bag. Also
Magic McColgan 18-1 ew PU blowing hard last time, she’s better than that
6.05 Can’t not bet Grangeclare West and Champ Kiely even though it will be a miracle if either win especially Champ Kiely racing keen in the National. Actually Inothewayurthinkin, on his favoured ground, might be the one to upset the big 2 but I’ve never bet him and not going to start now
6.35 Wonderful Everyday 12-1 ew gets her ground, should’ve bet her last night as she was twice the price but oh well.My selections today are:
4.15 Hipop de Loire 50s win only
5.25 Dreal Deal 31s ew 4 plcsI really enjoyed the racing yesterday, but there wasn’t a sniff of a winner. These are the ones I’ve picked out so far
1430 Jacoverc Caver 28-1 ew 6 plcs
1505 Grey Jude 6-1
1540 Mister Pessimistic 6-1
1615 Hipop De Loire 66-1 ew 4 plcs

Had to play Doctor Steinberg at 9/2, Townend knew it was curtains early at Cheltenham and gave him a nice spinGaelic Warrior Gold Cup Winner 2026
Nice one waroftheroses. The Turner family seems to have one laid out every year for a bigger meeting. You just never know what meeting it is.
Strange horse that Dr. Steinberg, I guess he hates big fields of 10+ runners. Well done to the winning connections and all their supporters.
Very disappointed in Espresso Milan. He battered a few hurdles at Cheltenham and faded but he jumped better (not perfect but adequately) today and then went out like a light. I didn’t think he was too terribly free (though maybe just couldn’t see on my phone screen) but that was poor. Pleased for Harry Derham though and it’s great to see GB trainers rewarded with big wins over here.
I’ve reversed the JP pair in the Gold Cup , backed inknowhatyurthinkin to win , if FTF I hope the first question he gets asked is about the ground …

Mullins said this week that Punchestown always provide perfect ground so no excuses about the ground from JP or Willie when Gaelic Warrior leave them a fence behind
