Tips for today

No luck is right, the jungle VIP looked like a dog, then looked like he'd sorted his sh*t out and was going to pull away but got nailed close home. Threediamondrings ran well enough and victors bet didn't come out of the stalls. Some bookies refunded but not boyles who i had done my bet with!

One of these days Des Donovan is going to pull of a coup. I'm sure himself and barney are lining something up, too many no hopers going over to england for a run and running exactly like a no hoper. I don't understand why you wouldn't just run them in dundalk. Maybe I'm reading into it too much.

If takeitfromalady was wound up enough she'd have to go close in the 8.45 kempton and just incase today is the day i'll put a point win at 20/1 with boyles.  

 

There's nothing telling me political slot won't be in the top 3 in the 1.45 southwell. Gallant girl could be anything, and the step up in trip looks sure to suit gleamiing sun. However from 2 runs over this trip and distance at southwell political slot has come 2nd and last time was a very convincing winner. Her poor run last time perhaps came too soon after the win in southwell and I think she's good value. 

I'm very sweet on one today. 

Shahans turn is a former galway plate winner. He won it as easy as he liked and try as people might, it's very hard to knock galway plate winning form and he had some high class horses in behind. It's hard to believe but he's only had 7 runs in the meantime! He obviously has had his problems - without doubt however his best run for some time was his last one after a wind operation in cheltenham where he travelled as well as anything turning for home, I thought he was going to win, but he faded away into 9th. On that run alone he's decent value today but it's the fact that he's now running off a mark 8 pounds lower than his Galway plate blitz. Puppy power takes over from the 5 pound claimer which was on him in cheltenham and I forsee a big run coming if he can avoid the carnage which will invariably take place as this is a 28 runner field. He would prefer nicer ground but he goes on soft too and the flat track over 2 mile 5 should help his cause. I'm mad keen on him.

Was fancied for Cheltenham but was brought down so could easily go well here.
