Plinth (dangerous if back to somewhere near best and JOB’s hurdlers in form) and Zubayr (I liked Ayr run, Nicholls sounds keen to send him, kept nicely ticking over on the Flat)
both 20s E/W Boylesports for me

I bet him at Ayr mate, and he could not have been closer. I am holding fire with this race before the final declarations are known, but he is the main fancy right now

So close Buckers, it would have been great to finish the season off with a big priced winner.

[Lemons68]

After reading this forum from afar the last 3 or 4 years I am really glad that I took the plunge. I didn’t have any illusions as to the pressure of putting my own selections up here, but it was harder than I thought that it would be.

I am really happy though to finish on a profit, and if I am being realistic it is an accurate reflection of most seasons for me. I always escape with a profit, but spectacular returns are few and far between.

For the second weekend in a row it was a tale of what might have been, with Vyta Du Roc going as close as Zubayr did. My final figure could have been significantly bigger, but happy with a profit

Vyta Du Roc kept me ahead to the tune of £93.50 for the season.

Enjoyed it guys and hope to be, no I will be,back next season.

[Lemons68]

It could not have been closer for Zubayr, and he would have been a nice winner for me.

One last bet for me this season and I will replace Perfect Candidate with Just A Par to win at 10-1

That will leave me with a deficit of £15.25, so I’m hoping for a Just A Par win and Vyta Du Roc to win or place.

It has been hard work this, so should I go out minus fifteen quid, I will not be upset.

[Lemons68]

I am looking forward to this one, and it is a small but select field. I am struggling slightly to oppose the favourite, so from a betting angle it might just be one to sit out

[Lemons68]

I have had one bet go westwards with Perfect Candidate not going, so I have added Just A Par win at 10-1

[Lemons68]

The win would have been most welcome Vtc, but at 20-1 I cannot really complain, but I did not feel that way st the time

[Lemons68]

I have added Peace and Co to the Scottish Champion Hurdle bet I have already, and I have went each way at 10-1. Jeremiah McGrath is down to ride but I still don’t think that is a guarantee he will line up, but I am hopeful he does. I worry a little that he has been pulled from a few targets recently

Total is minus £75.25

[Lemons68]

It will be Henri Parry Morgan for me too, and I think that 33-1 is a good price for the horse. I just worry a little about his jumping but at that price he will do in what looks like a very open race

[Lemons68]

Thanks Vtc

One return for me and that is Abolitionist in The Irish Grand National, and that takes me to a profit of £74.75.

I will add these four

Scottish Grand National – Henri Parry Morgan at 33-1

Scottish Champion Hurdle – Zubayr, he was my first selection on here and I am giving him another chance at 20-1

Bet365 Cup – Vyta Du Roc at 25-1, and Perfect Candidate at 33-1. I would want to be with Blaklion here but I don’t know if he is going to run?

All of these selections are each way

That will give me a deficit of 45.25

[Lemons68]

Frankie I am in the same boat with Blaklion, I’d love to know if there was a chance he could go here.

He has been my horse to follow this season, and although he has not won he gave me a big thrill on Saturday at 40-1. I would like to have one more bet on him, but I might wait for news. He is 14-1 just now and if I know he recovered ok from Saturday, 14-1 would be good enough for me.

The other horses I may bet are Perfect Candidate & Label Des Obeaux at 33-1

[Lemons68]

Green, that is a brilliant bet

[Lemons68]

It has only taken me a few months but have finally got around to a running total.

In total £600 bet so far, with the following returns

Minella Daddy £48.75
Blaklion £67.50
Sizing John £330
Big River £150
Forgotten Gold £60

In Play
Topham – Go Conquer 12-1 each way
Topham – Mr Diablo 33-1 each way
Irish National – Abolitionist 14-1 each way NRNB
Irish National – Fletchers Flyer 16-1 each way NRNB

Current Total £56.25 in profit

Happy to be ahead in this, as it is real pressure.

[Lemons68]

The Crafty Butcher does not go, so I am glad I held off with him.

Mr Diablo at 33-1 will be my second bet in this each way.

[Lemons68]

I am going to have 2 rare Sunday bets.

At Fairyhouse it will Devils Bride each way at 14-1.

Also each way at Ascot will be Forgotten Gold at 12-1

In The The Topham I have went with Mr Diablo each way at 33-1

[Lemons68]

Both of these selections are NRNB

Irish grand national, Abolitionist at 14-1, and Fletchers Fly at 16-1, Both bets each way

[Lemons68]

I am the same as you BigG and I want to wait for a general NRNB as well, but I like 2 in this and have taken that offer with Boylesports.

I like Abolitionist 14-1 each way, and Fketchers Flyer 16-1 each way also.
