    Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done

    65/1 shot Theilval runs one again in NJH dad's race...sure to be tuned up to run a decent race and Nico on board you can have a sporting bet at 7/2-4. him being in he 1st 6 home

    Daryl Jacob rides Monte Christo who looks to be improving and likely Nickys best chance of winning the handicap...

    Bob Olinger most important bet of the week for me. Been backing it since Ferny Hollow was ruled out for the season. BMG and GDM in a few multis as cover

    Guard your Dreams in the Coral Cup

    The market behind CPS has been off all season. I couldn't have Altior and I can't have Nube Negra, Politologue or First Flow. Backed PTKO and Notebook in the w/o fav markets each way and got 33s very early doors about Cilaos Emery in the Autumn

    I don't normally get involved in the bumper but I did step in when Sir Gerhard drifted to 10/3 after the DRF.

    Le Breuil for the Cross Country each way, JP’s 2 possibly three in the Coral Cup. Hoping Bob Olinger wins as well for a small treble I’ve done if Shiskin and Epatante win today.

    Have a fair bet on Bob Olinger at 7/2, been very well backed so fingers crossed.
    Have Monkfish to finish off a double with Shishkin, not at fancy prices though as only did it last week but over 6/4 on a 4/9 shot

    The four I picked ante-post for the Coral Cup have all shortened-up (couple of them halved in price), and I’m hopeful that the time I committed to the race, gets at least some reward.

    I also hope that Bridget Andrews proves that I’m the sexist dinosaur I probably am, and wins on Amoola Gold. Stakes-wise, this is my number-one horse all week, and the take-out is very-much worth having.

    The Monk is the bridge leg of the novice chaser treble. I will be incredibly disappointed if he can’t win the RSA.

    Chacun is in a Monk/Envoi +3L winning-distance bet at 10/1. He is a Grade 1 horse in against G2 animals, imo, and 4/5 is a tremendous price.

    I’ve a smallish bet on Olinger to kick things off.

    Sir G, hammer, long nail etc.

    Will oppose Easysland in the XC. Ground against him, I think.

    I've had my biggest bet of the week by a furlong on Sir Gerhard at 9/4.

    That Sir G price surely cannot hold with the ground quickening up?

    I think he's the best each way value in the race now.

    I took 18s for my £1 each way lucky 31.

    Theres obviously a ton of cash for the favourite, who is still shortening into 4/11 now.

    I don't think this necessarily means the opposition, including First Flow are really poor horses though.

    I think First Flow can make the first three.

    You have Monkfish and CPS price wrong way round.
