To Punchestown and beyond

[ham]

Makes sense to run there on his abillity and pedigree, hes not running against cracksman and he wont run against enable, would they go qe2 then the classic or would the season end if he were to win or run a shocker in the qe2? Guesswork but at the 16/1 its worth a small stake for now.

Qe2

2 points laurens @5/1
1.5 points e/w laurens at 6/1

Hills generously going 5 places which if you havent backed laurens and fancy her is an absolute gift, too late for me on that front (3 places on above bet) but it opens up the race on a different angle for me also and im happy to have a punt on something big hitting the frame, that one being hey gaman, been on him a few times this season and its not worked out, but at 50/1 @ a 1/5th for 5 places it would not surprise me atall, he has various group 1-3 form and at 10/1 for a place i cant leave it alone

0.75 point e/w hey gaman @50/1 1/5th @ 5 places

4.40 gowran

Me and giornis partnership nearly at an end unless he shows something here, jockey booking a little more promising, cant be far away now

Giorni felice 2 points @20/1

[ham]

Bumped into one there and im hoping the handicapper doesnt bump him up for that, although NTO he wont be 20/1 so have been fairly unlucky there with finishing second

[ham]

Looks like the classic has been confirmed for roaring like which is some good news regarding the bet! Not a good looking race andnyoud think either RL or mendelssohn will be there at the finish!

2.25 doncaster

0.5 points e/w jimmy krankyar @100/1 1/5th @ 3 places

4.00 newbury

1 point e/w highlight reel @14/1 1/4 @4 places Likely the last run of the season and i cant not back him, has it in him, dropping down again in the weights.

[ham]

Just the one this weekend for m

2.50 newbury

1 point e/w house of kings @20/1

[ham]

Non runner at the weekend which was a disappointment as he was well backed before the off, into single figures, but not to worry

Usual bet

4.05 galway

2 points giorni felice at 15/2 Like i said last time, price NTO wont be as good due to plugging on for 2nd, not keen on the step up in trip today looked a non stayer last time he tried this trip. Cant desert now lol

[ham]

Roaring lion drawn 2 for saturday night, which is good if he can break quick enough, they wont hold him up in this for the fear of kickback, mendelssohn in 9, the fav accelerate drawn out in the car park in stall 14! Biggest danger to everything IMO is catholic boy drawn in 3, likely save on him at around 8/1

5 points speedo boy @7/2 Big ole bet on this one for me, got his mark after 3 runs and youd imagine ALOT was left to be worked on for those 3 runs.

[ham]
