    Kenstone (Chelmsford 7:45) has improved considerably since switching trainers to Adrian Wintle. His 2yo and 3yo form was far from special, but after moving to Adrians Wintle's yard, he won five races last season, including over this course and distance. He won again two starts ago, so there is no reason he can"t go again in today. 12/1 well worth a bet. Win and each way.

    Have had a bet on Gentlemen in the 7.15 Chelmsford, i've actually taken 18 and 19 on the fair a few hours ago, was 14/1 generally with the books, backed into 8/1 now but still backable imo.
    Has a very good record at Chelmsford over 6/7fs but no win for 2 years plus, but having his 1st run since Feb was only btn 1 3/4lengths although 9th of 14. Record of 2115R11484U over 6/7fs and McEntee has a knack of bringing horses back after a while in the wilderness note Swiss Cross 3 days ago winning again after 28 winless runs, this ones had 27 runs without winning but has dropped from mid 90s to 74-5 tonight. Just hope he doesn't refuse to race!

    Cheltenham 3.10 Vive le Roi 18/1 Power
    This will obviously take more winning than his recent Stratford successes and he’s got a fairly chunky 9lb rise to contend with but he’s improving and the 18/1 looks a decent each way price (5 places)

    I feel I'm already on a loser but when I saw I had Make My Heart Fly 12lbs clear in the opener at Cheltenham I checked the betting expecting it to be about 6/4 (Elliot & Johnson, so why not) so I was very surprised to see 100/30 on offer, which I promptly took as much of as I was allowed. Later in the evening I saw it was a best-priced 11/4 so went to bed feeling smug. (Smug isn't my wife's nickname.)

    Imagine my horror this morning on seeing it sitting covered in pink at 6/1.

    I'm wondering if it has woken up with only two legs.

    I’ve had a good cut at Grageelagh Girli n the same race last night, ew at 12s. Thought she was way over priced on her lines of form through Posh Trish & L’chamise both of whom have won on their seasonal reappearance.

    Last year I tracked a mare of Jessie Harrington’s called the Princeatonian after promising bumper form but she has turned out to be very disappointing. Elliots only beat her by a few lengths in Gowran and in my own head I’d have Fergal O’Brien’s mare well above that. I’m probably completely wrong tho.

    Positives for Grageelagh Girl is the step up in trip to 2m5f. Her pedigree is laden with stamina and also with her listed bumper 2nd to Posh Trish there at least she handles the course.

    Good to see her into 8/1 this morning. I’ve also done Thomas Darby for Olly Murphy later on the card.

    I knew I'd seen it tipped somewhere. That was a bit of a sore one, viking, but hopefully you came out on top with the place odds.

    How can Domesday Book seriously be a 33/1 chance for the 2:00 at Cheltenham tomorrow? The horse was hit and miss for Henry Dr Bromhead in Ireland, but then manages to win the Kim Muir for Stuart Edmunds. He probably had a hard race at The Festival so should be forgiven next time at Sandown in The Bet 365 Gold Cup. Despite what the odds are suggesting this might be the day to catch him running well after a summer break. There are 17 potential runners which makes it a good each way race. Domesday Book (33/1) is generous, especially given he gets his preferred better ground.

    One more worth mentioning today is Petrus in Newbury's 4:30. This has a massive pull at the weights with the horse who finished two lengths in front of him at Doncaster, Aquarium. I reckon if my calculation is correct, then Petrus is 10lbs better off today with Aquarium. Petrus ran really well at Doncaster that day after being hampered. Assuming he's in a similar vein of form, he should be bang there at the finish.

    Perfect Man raced a bit lazily last time out but ran on in pleasing fashion to snatch a place. Today’s cheekpieces should help and he has won wearing them previously. 14/1 looks decent value

    2:00 Cheltenham - For Good Measure

    (Certainly bred to stay the distance and should be happy with the ground.)

    For Good Measure wasn’t off an inch, held up unnecessarily far back and not asked to make serious ground at any stage but staying on under tender handling past beaten horses. I can’t really imagine he’s being trained for the Hennessy as he’ll need a bit of a hike to have any chance of making the cut so maybe the 3m3f race at the next Cheltenham meeting in three weeks is the plan.

    Was running well enough, shame his jumping let him down.
