    I'm going along with Ruby but with Bosman Rule at anything better than evens.

    His jumping was a bit novicey in his first 2 runs over timber but no doubt they'll have been working on that and with Ruby taking over he's a very confident selection.

    Join you in that one, Fonz.
    He's been very picky with his rides since his comeback, and is 2/3 for outside stables - the only loser running a cracker in a 50k race.

    3.45 Ludlow Area Fifty One - 100+ rated on the flat, will come on for his last run and the main opposition is reverting from chasing which I'm never a fan of
    5.00 Carlisle Urban Hymn - Chasing's always been the plan and hopefully will turn out to be one of the Norths best

    Red Pike (3.30) caught a tartar lto, but had plenty of decent, in-form horses in his wake, and looks to be still improving.
    10/1 with 4 places looks well worth a go.

    Doc Hay in the same race (18/1 ew). I didn't do the ratings but he's still lobbed in on his best form despite his penalty and if the move to O'Meara leads to his rejuvenation he could well win today and tomorrow.

    Sorry, just went into the bookies online to see the race and couldn't understand why I didn't have access to the race video. I now see he was withdrawn mid-morning. At least I haven't 'tipped' a loser but can't see the race now.

    4.50 Fakenham

    A fair few negatives here with the exception of two horses, one of which doesn't win very often...so by process of elimination the most likely winner is certainly Midnight Charmer.

    Should be 6/4 imo but false 2nd fav Alright Benny makes the price a bit better.

    3.6 taken

    luvly

    Cheers, Chopper, I knew he was engaged both days and expected him to run in both races.

    Was any reason given for his withdrawal today?

    Regal Encore (4.10 Chep) won his race here before his 2nd in the Champion Bumper, and always looked a horse who'd need further than 2m over jumps, so his subsequent Imperial Cup 4th promised well for his future. Thought well enough handicapped to send for a 50k race at Punchestown, he ran well for a long way before disappointing in his finish.
    The tongue tie he wears today suggests they've identified the problem, and the return to 2.5m over this stiff track and that AP chooses to ride him on his return from injury augurs well for his chances.


    (Apologies Tiggers - hadn't realised yours was in the same race.)

    Same race - Shammick Boy for a repeat. That leaves 9 possible winners

    I've done Aubusson as well in a couple of each way doubles with Valdez later on the same card and the rather insultingly priced Wishfull Thinking. Nothing serious today though.

    Boondooma for me in the 4.10. Drumshambo has dropped to a winnable mark in the 4.45 and first time up may be the best time to catch him

    3.30 Newbury Hi There 4/1

    Ground will hold no fears, softer the better. Back go a winning mark, won this race last year too. Latest run wasn't as bad as it seems, travelled nicely for a long way. Hope Sammy Jo brings him with a sweeping run at the one pole to win a couple of lengths. Think it's really a ew bet go nothing if the 8 run.

    Euro, I've put Aubusson in a highly unadventurous Canadian, with Sausalito Sunrise, Son Du Berlais, Garde La Victoire and Uxizandre.

    Hope it's a day for jollies.

    I like Valdez, but I'm not convinced he's very-well treated at these weights.
