    Yourarseisonfire 345gp 33/1 i thought he ran better last time and if he comes back to form then he is very well hcapped.14/1 with bet 365

    Widnes 330y 25/1 ran on well last time.
    Gracious george 610k 25/1 a bit one paced and i think he might need 10f.
    And a real longshot 50pew
    Chandrayaan 640k 100/1 11yr old ridden by a 7lb claimer (girl)
    Done another couple but they are only 16s.

    My thoughts immediately when I saw it last night, simmo. It's just a typo on Outsider's part, possibly deliberate

    Carlisle 1.55 Tanrundy 22/1 - raced 3 times in point-to points against 3 different horses considered to above average and ran well in all, improving his times in each. May be interesting in what looks an average race.

    Sothwell 5.10 Voila Eric 40/1 - Finished 2 nd in a point-to-point 2L behind Report To Base (139 sadly killed at the festival this year) 25L back in 3rd was Brave Eagle (144) The selection came out in a NHF race l/t/o not unfancied but was tailed off. Too early imo to write him off, if trainer has sorted out his problems he may surprise?

    Chelmsford 7.15 Orsera 33/1 - price looks too big considering a decent run at Newmarket l/t/o and her penultimate run was at this track in a race 3 grades higher than tonight.

    Cheltenham 4.55 Goohar 25/1 - has decent course form but in an amateur jockeys race I tend to look at the jockey and his pilot is 3 wins from 5 races under rules
    and 2 from 2 in h'caps including 1 on this horse. With jockey claim Goohar is 9lb better off for finishing 3rd over c/d & going in a class 3 0-135 btn 5 1/2L in April 2017this race is a 0-125. If fit first time out he could be well in?

    Short notice so hopefully not too much damage done but in this 3.10 race at Cheltenham I've backed Roi De Dubai and Golden Birthday at nice prices. They're better than their odds, I think.

    Oighear Dubh has been running ok in Ireland without winning but gives the impression a tougher task might be what he actually needs...33/1 on the machine and 4/1 for 5 places is my bet

    110
    ORNATE (Don 3:25) is a nice price at Doncaster in the sprint. Rated as high as 110 but now down to a mark of 94. He changed hands to Robert Cowell earlier this season, starting to look well handicapped after two wind operations. He reminds me, (in terms of profile) of Danzeno before his handicap successes last season, in that he has the listed & group three form, but now on a much lower rating for handicap events. He really just needs to put his best form in again. Some good money for him in the market tonight and very little 20/1 left. Andrea Atzeni booked to ride can't be a bad thing. Also reckon Domesday Book is a stupid price in the first at Cheltenham, mentioned him on the other thread. Let's hope I do better than in recent months with these two both each way.
