    Nice one TC! Thanks Chef and Viking.

    Fwiw, the 16/1 looks the value bet on Benny's Girl in Herefords 3:45 tomorrow. She could potentially be very well handicapped. She has lots of point-to -point form on soft ground which she will encounter tomorrow.

    One of her best efforts was at Hereford on 26th March last year, when a length back in third behind tomorrows second favourite, Easter In Paris. Benny's Girl is six pound better off tomorrow if you include the 7 pound claimer, I just hope the near-200 day break has done her good. Mrs Burbridge could well be the good thing at 6/4, but I'm looking elsewhere for the right bet. Benny's Girl at 16's with the nine runners looks good each way value.

    Cheers you two!

    I have to say, Gigilo is the all-weather man on here, but I can't get my head around the price of My Renaissance in the 6:40 at Newcastle tonight.

    I see that the horse has a healthy strike rate, (4/25) on the all weather, has won off higher marks in the past. There's no recent form to talk-up, but the horse has been dropped three pounds to 60 so connections have cleverly dropped him to class six level which is where he needs to be. Hence I will try and play up some of the winnings on this fella (each way), with the first three places on offer, at what does look a generous price at 16/1.

    Here's a couple to watch out for and back, (in some better flat handicaps than that Newcastle race 10 minutes ago), at Musselburgh on Saturday, for anyone interested.

    The Royal handicap - MISS BAR BEACH. Good form in group and listed races last season, and taken not only to prove much better than her current mark of 94 this term, but also go close in this handicap on Saturday. She's 16/1, which is an each way price, but she won't be this price if she runs. I guarantee you that. She'll finish fast and late at the business end of the race, won't be very far away either.

    The Queens Handicap - Andrew Balding's NIGHT OF GLORY is the horse to be on. This will run off a weight towards the bottom of the handicap, but according to my calculations has a major chance. This could start favourite, but is currently 10/1 (in a place) in the anti-post betting. I'm really trying to exploit the anti-post betting on flat handicaps this season.

    These two horses ARE good investments imvho, (as long as they're declared at Thursday lunchtime!.)

    I'm taking it easy until Saturday, unless I spot anymore good things on the jumps which is unlikely!

    WOW! didn't see this but what a great call. You are on fire Marble.

    Do not discount the old boy in Wetherby's 3:40 tomorrow!

    TAP NIGHT is a horse we've all seen before. He has a good strike rate over hurdles (4/25) which covers the duration of about five seasons. Some of those wins were graded hurdles. He'll love the soft/heavy ground. He's had a break which can do him good. The new headgear, (Tongue-tie / Cheekpieces) can also work the magic. The claimer Blair Campbell takes off some weight which can't be bad. He's not the strongest selection I've ever put up, (due to the nature of this low-grade affair), but I reckon he can win, which is the main thing. The 10/1 should be taken.

    It's Xmas for AW fans this weekend with 2 great cards on Friday, and the Roseberry meeting Saturday. A couple of early punts:
    Mountain Bell (2.00L) has just 2 AW runs to her credit, but did enough when winning at Newcastle to qualify for this. With improvement expected, Laddies' 5/1 looks an outstanding price.
    In the sprint (2.00L) Kachy has an obvious chance, but, with pace assured, I'll take him on with Intisaab (ew 10/1 B365) who spotted him a 5l lead last time, and should shape better in this smaller field.

    JP's It's Only a Number traveled well for along way without ever being really stoked up by Luke Dempsey who barely touched the horse in the closing stages.

    He did do a nice whip change going to the last but only for show as he never used the thing.
    Although he couldn't have won it looked very much like keeping him for another day and an easy to spot note book entry

    It's Only a Number was 8/1 on the machine for small money but now 11/4

    Both declared. Reckon Night Of Glory will be vying for favouritism come race time.

    You've all been warned, no excuses!

    Night of Glory was entered in the Fred Winter at the festival and was tipped up at quite a few preview nights. From memory I think he could have got in but didn't run due to the testing ground (maybe I'm wrong and he just didn't get in?). Anyway, Will the ground on Saturday be good enough for him to be seen to best effect?

    I want Gossiping on side in Baths 4:00 tomorrow on Easter Friday. He caught my eye last season when beating a horse I fancied at Goodwood one day called The Warrior. Gossiping was upped in class afterwards in races like The Bunbury and International but it wasn't meant to be. I'll chance him tomorrow on soft ground as he's dropped to a lovely mark to kick off the turf season. I'm not sure what price I'm looking at yet win or each way.

    Apologies as I haven't got time really to do in depth posts atm but I have two fairly Strong fancies for the aw championships in the 1.30 I like Silent Echo and in the 3.05 I'm on Intisaab two decent singles and an Ew double on the pair.

    In the first race I've also had a saver on Mythical Madness who is interesting dropped back in trip. I've took 40/1 in the 4 place market and 22/1 in the 6 place market with BFSB. There is a chance judging by the exchanges that he'll go 50's tomorrow but I'm going to be a bit tied up over the weekend and I'm happy enough with the price I've got.

    All the best over the Easter period lads.

    Haven't been paying much attention of late cracking shout on Bennys girl Marble I'd missed that apologies if I'd missed any more winners.

    Just noticed Reet had put up Intisaab already for tomorrow glad to see an all weather judge agreeing with my own opinion as usually I'm a bit dodgy in this sphere but basically what he said is how I viewed it.

    Worth watching the replay of silent echo's Lto performance Fwiw.

    Cheers Danny, good to see life on this thread!

    Gossiping about 20's on the early show.

    I dunno, I do feel he's on a good mark but maybe with the ground on the soft side he'll need the run.

    Who knows. Good luck with yours Danny and Reet.
