Punchestown Day 5 with a dose of Newmarket!

Image

Morning Run and On The Fringe save the blank at shortish prices but otherwise today was poor

We won’t dwell on it!

Moving swiftly onwards!

Irish Field Chase 14:30 – Be Positive back for more after success on day 1 and has my money. Givemeabuzz gets the each way nod.

Madra Irish Dog Foods Handicap Chase 15:05 – An open enough handicap where I’d be pretty keen on Raajih for an each way tipple off a nice weight. Shaped well the last day and should go well here. This trip suits.

Irish Stallion Farms E.B.F. Mares Champion Hurdle 15:45 – Annie Power…that is all. Cant afford to back her.

AES Champion Four Year Old Hurdle 16:20 – A good enough race. Tiger Roll should uphold the form with the Triumph lot and gets the nod. Off a strong pace Abyssial could represent ew value – he’ll make the pace Id imagine, very much a staying type.

Palmerstown House Pat Taaffe Handicap Chase 16:55 – Brass Tax is a useful type and with a very valuable 7lbs off his back could prove an ace in the pack. Each way is the way to go. Wrong Turn could also prove dangerous if he can return to his good form.

Setanta Sports Handicap Hurdle 17:30 – Two for each way bets here. Hisabaat returns after a good win on the flat and Benemeade was thought highly of once upon a time and seems to relish the quicker surface.

K Club Hotel, Spa & Ryder Cup Venue 18:05 –  Uncle Danny seems to have ability after a good win between the flags. Not too keen on anything so a small bet (depending on price) on him will suffice!

Newmarket Bets

15:10 Trading Leather (NAP)

2000 Guineas – Toormore is overpriced but up against it. I’ve backed him.

So thats it y’all! Have a great bank holiday weekend!

Punchestown Day 4 – Muddling through!

Mallowney strikes at 10/1!!
Mallowney strikes at 10/1!!

A 10/1 win on Mallowney and place money from Tanks For That in the same race is what we walk away with from another fairly frustrating day at Punchestown.

It’s late so I’m going to fly through these! I’m sure you don’t want to listen to my shite talk anyway!

Here we go!

KFM Hunters Chase 15:40 – A tough enough hunters chase to unravel considering the form with these types constantly flip flops. Mtada Supreme would look to have the leading chance. Each way opportunity lies with The Baler if he can return to form of old.

Aon Novice Handicap Chase 16:20 – Sizing Gold went to Cheltenham as a leading contender and ran below par. Connections will be keen to make up for that missed opportunity. Leavethelighton has a cracking each way shout.

Seaniemac.com E.B.F. Mares Handicap Chase 16:55 – For me Une Artiste is the one. Barry Geraghty may have chosen wrong by picking Utopie des Bordes.

Racing Post Champion Hurdle 17:30 – I’ll be watching with interest and hoping Hurricane Fly retains his crown, but no bet.

Tattersalls Ireland Champion Novice Hurdle 18:05 – Vautour, that is all. Watch the procession. The bet is the forecast. Lac Fontana should complete the 1,2.

Star Best for Racing Coverage Novice Hurdle  18:40 – I’m out to get the fav beaten here and I think Rock The World has a good each way chance.

ITBA Fillies Scheme Fillies Premier Bumper 19:10 – When in doubt Closutton generally provides you with a run for your money. Morning Run has a nice enough page and is the first string based on jockey selections. Cleeves Steeple who is likelier to open up at a bigger price is the each way alternative.

Donohue Marquees Champion Hunters Chase 19:45 – On The Fringe holds the stronger form with Tammy’s Hill and therefore gets the nod, but only just. King Troy could run into a place at a bigger price!

Thats it! All the best!
