    EC1 might have been a booster for Altior too, but DO is the one I remember first going strong on him.

    Altior put up a couple of times that suggested he was special. I had Kalashnikov on my personal to follow list, so clearly I'm happy with what I saw in Saturday, and the price was a nice surprise, but in terms of showing a Supreme hand, that didn't happen on Saturday. It doesn't mean it's not in him though.

    Props, Perp.

    In my defence, I can barely recall what happened two weeks ago.......or race distances for that matter!

    Some clever fcuker here put the JP/Cromwell horse in the TTF. Technically a juvenile but good be good enough to race as a novice
    Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done

    The first at Newbury today is fascinating

    Claimantakinforgan has been on the radar since is first NHF run. It was his only win last season, but ran perfectly well in the Chelt and Aintree bumpers.
    Lostintranslation went straight into the tracker after his 2nd at Chepstow behind Dynamite Dollars (won under a penalty at Exeter this week) as absolutely tanked through the race but made an awful mistake 2 or 3 out

    I think both could end up being very decent, but probably no bet today as am struggling to split them

    Brahma Bull out today

    2 years of Ricci hope behind this one

    Straight over 3 miles so he must be a bit of a boat

    The Oil horse and Someday in the same maiden at Naas tomorrow

    It's too early for me to be making these decisions

    Fitness levels will be a major factor and definitely not a race for heavy punting. Had decided on a watching brief when saw 10/1 Someday. Had to have a small ew bet.

    Paloma Blue is one of my biggest fancies for this season. HdB horses are not betting propositions in bumpers yet he won (when very raw) and followed in behind the ill fated Fayonagh.

    Think he'll want 3 miles in time, but 11/4 tomorrow is very fair.

    I'm really looking forward to Red Jack making his debut over hurdles today. I reckon his price will crash after the race for the Supreme and the Neptune or whatever it's called now.

    I reckon he might turn out to be a bit special PJ. When he wins today he'll certainly go favourite for both races.

    Royal Bond next. He did that nicely enough considering it wouldn't have been run to suit. He'll be even better off a strong pace.
