Hopefully another good day for G Lee the 20/1 I took for him on Monday looks good now .... he is down to 11/4 with good rides to come

I think the Daily Telegraph chase being a handicap to replace the old Cathcart has spoiled one of the bankers of the meeting :( You could normally rely on a decent novice to win comfortably at aound 2/1 - 3/1.

One thing I did notice when looking through the formbook for this race is the chance of Fondmort. Not done anything in grade 1s and it was previously too high in the handicap to win. However it has been dropped from 157 on it's last run to 149 for today's race, which is 1lb below the rating it was on when it last won a race (over course & distance) so if it is anywhere near a double figure price it could well represent decent value each way for this race.

Alas our super tipster Walshie lol has buggered off to Denmark for a couple of days on business so we won't be able to pi$$ ourselves laughing at him a la Tuesday :D

Back with mine in a bit, they'll be just as bad as his :( :banghead:

At least none of us will be "Walshied" today so go gamble big time boys and girls ! :sorted: :bound:
