    Good call, Bolero.

    I'm having a small punt on Sir Kezbaah in Exeter's 2:30.

    I like the fact he's had a break and back over hurdles here, in a race he's won before (off a lower handicap pitch today). I think he's worth chancing each way.

    I've got Ryden Pynes up from my tracker today, alongside Cocktails At Dawn. Cocktails at Dawn not much of a price, but took 7/1 about RP this morning and its in at around 5s now. Backed it at a big price at Cheltenham (fell), but this is much more realistic. Might go in again as PP have just gone money back on 2nd and 3rd in the race.

    Great stuff Roddy. I took over 30 mins to log in to my betfair account at lunch time on my phone to get a bet on it. Thanks again.
    You should not confuse your career with your life.

    Nice One Roddy - sadly I didn't see it but a great tip
    Pluralism of Ideas and the prosperity of any land are intertwined. Freedom of minds and skill of intellect to 'think the unthinkable' is how humanity has progressed; when minds are incarcerated nothing endures.

    3:15 Cheltenham The Romford Pele 10/1

    This horse has my heart broke this season. His early season chase form 2nd to Balder Succes was pretty high level, but has been extremely disappointing since then. All the while I assumed he was being held for a Cheltenham handicap, which he ended up being to well weighted to get in to the race! The Saturday after Cheltenham he was again very disappointing over fences when 11lengths 4th to Lost Legend.

    However, it certainly caught my attention that he was entered in a 2m4f Handicap Hurdle race at Aintree, but didn't run.

    He's back over hurdles today and has to have a big handicap in him. 2lbs lower than when 9lengths 4th in this race last year - but had P Corbett claiming 7 that day. Geraghty on board today, never ridden the horse before but has a good recent record for R Curtis.

    Being honest, I am very unsure of how good his chances are today, but I have to stick with him and he simply cannot go unbacked.

    Gladly welcome any thoughts on The Romford Pele today.........

    Flycatcher at Beverley. A mate who has a leg in a horse with Fahey went to the yard on Sunday and was told this should win.

    8-1 last night, sadly I didn't get the email until this morning. Took 9-2, now best price 7-2.

    Figaro to go close in the last Cheltenham - Think he's well weighted, hopefully can put that last run behind him.

    315pm Cheltenham Thomas Crapper 9/2

    Did anyone else notice the amount of ground this horse made up between the 3rd last and 2nd last at the festival.
    He circled the whole field and went from nearly last into the lead.

    The jockey on him that day was very inexperienced and l think any other route
    other than circling the field and he would of hacked up.

    Have a look if anyone gets the chance.
