Scottish Champion Hurdle - Irish Roe 33/1 - btn 5L in this race last year now 6lb lower - Jockey does have a bad habit of taking this horse wide and losing many lengths in the process but maybe that is the riding Instructions?

Voix d'eau 325a 33/1 4lb lower than his last win for Harry Fry.hasnt had his ground.drier the better.
Nwb 3.15 - Circus Couture 25/1 - handicapped on his best form to win, goes well in soft, showed up well early for a while in the Lincoln, JCH knows how to land a big pot... all good reasons to fancy this one but none better than persuading Dettori to ride.

Nebo is an interesting recruit to Tom Hogan's yard, is in great form, looking and working well and could well outrun his odds at Naas Gladness Stakes 4 00 tomorrow.
An ew interest at 33/1 recommended.
Two wild ones ew
Dromod Lad 2.50 Naas
Clifftop Dancer 3.25 Naas
The former ran well for 6 furlongs first time out and runs over six tomorrow.
The latter has some okay form and seems to run well fresh.
More importantly trainer Eddie Harty is in wild form with 12/1, 33/1 winners and a 25/1 placed maiden runner lately.
More sensible folk may prefer Kinch 3.25 , ran well on third start when apprentice ridden and Colin Keane takes over in first handicap start off 66.

2.25 Ayr - Captain Moirette 20/1 - Like Cloth Cap in the National and Circus Couture in the Spring Cup, this is my main bet in the race. It's under the radar a bit despite its form figures but I very much like its profile and the trainer won this race last year with Midnight Shadow.
EW doubles and treble will also carry some cash.

Ayr 1.25 - Dandridge 22/1 - not my main bet in the race but ludicrously well handicapped on his Grand Annual form of a couple of years back. Now with Charlie Longsdon I've detected a glint of the old ability recently but its price tells its own story. An easy win wouldn't surprise me in the least, though.

1.55 Ayr - Claud and Goldie 22/1 - again not my main bet in the race but not far behind the top on my figures and with a progressive profile. Should probably be around the 12/1 mark.
2.25 Ayr - Irish Roe 33/1 - I agree with swedish chef on this one being overpriced. Hasn't built on promising form of last season but is on on a very good mark on her best form. Price is a reflection of current form rather than best.
3.35 Ayr - Arthur's Gift 50/1 - on jockey bookings is the NTD second string but is totally unexposed as a progressive novice chaser upped in trip. Bellamy was unlucky to be nosed out last year on Ballyoptic so I hope he can run second to Cloth Cap at a nice price.

I've taken a saver on Humbert 25/1. This was on my radar for the Lincoln and others on here put him up. He couldn't keep going that day but Tudhope takes over here and I anticipate a big run.
Edit - another outsider too big to ignore: Banditry 66/1 (200+ xch, 11/1 top 4 finish). Exchange price probably tells its own story, probably has another day in mind but Atzeni doesn't look like a negative booking.

I’ve backed three qualifiers in the Scottish National, Skipthecuddles 33/1, Acdc 33/1, and Sizing Codelco 66/1. All trading slightly shorter now.

Understandable punts, Maruco. I didn't have time to tabulate any figures today but I could imagine all three would be on the radar. I'll probably join you on Sizing Codelco with the stable in such good form now.

JJON Jr's claim might have made the difference
Not for the first time, I'm not impressed with McLernon. He appeared happy to let the front two take three or four lengths off him three out before staying on well again from the last. I did like that he gave up the inside to no-one but I expected him to be more fluent at his jumps. Maybe it was the newness of the experience of the big field and more battle-hardened rivals. Still, I'm not going to complain too much at a profit on the race.

Hexham 5.10 Big Sess 40/1 - worth a token e/way bet - Full brother to The Minch who finished 3rd in 2016 Aintree grade 2 festival bumper on his first run behind Bacardys and Battleford and in front of Ballyandy and Willoughby Court. If the selection has half that ability he should run well? Trainer has had 1 bumper horse this season being placed twice at 50/1 and 100/1 and last 5 seasons has has 1 win and 4 places from 8 horses and 11 runs in bumpers.

Chel 2.40 Tree Of Liberty 20/1 - nicely handicapped on his best form and bred to better on this step up in trip.

16.25 Cheltenham, think Rockpoint could run a big race.
I've gone in again with this one today at 40/1. On the face of it, this is a much tougher test than Saturday should have been - hence the much bigger odds - but JCH has only had two runners in this race in the last ten years and both have won so maybe there's something about the race that means more to her than the better prize money in a big handicap. And he wasn't in the least knocked about the other day. Not my main bet, though, just sickness insurance, really.
