Grand National

Grand National – Aintree – 4m2f – 5.15pm – Sat 10th Apr Cloth Cap is officially 14lbs well-in but if he were to run in a handicap off his new mark of 162 I’d argue he’s terribly handicapped. He got a solo on the lead at Kelso last time whilst the favourite and second home,Continue reading “Grand National”

Friday Cheltenham ’21

Friday Summary for the lazy: Zanahiyr will be popular with a few Irish fav multiples rolling onto him. I’d prefer chancing Quilixios e/w 9/2 or greater. Although drying ground would be a worry. Ganapathi is the right fav, wouldn’t put you off. Fifty Ball 14, Cayd Boy 20, Saint D’Oroux 22 complete the shortlist. NoContinue reading “Friday Cheltenham ’21”

Thursday Cheltenham ’21

Thursday Update = I’m coming around to Paisley Park @ 2/1. I think the Long Walk is the best piece of form and Thyme Hill & Roksana aren’t here. The two runs this year (gave 3lbs to TH when beaten the first day out) prove last March was a blip he is over. Course suits,Continue reading “Thursday Cheltenham ’21”

Wednesday Cheltenham ’21

Jump back to Tuesday: https://ceebeeracing.sport.blog/2021/03/11/tuesday-cheltenham-21/ Wednesday Again a lot of this was written a full week before the Festival so it may not be perfectly up to date… Ballymore Nov Hurdle Three exciting novices and 20/1 bar, it’s not an each way race. Team Mullins reached for the hood for free going Gaillard du Mesnil,Continue reading “Wednesday Cheltenham ’21”

Tuesday Cheltenham ’21

Tuesday Take you pick from this lot: 13.20 Appreciate It 11/8 or under 4L 10/3, Blue Lord e/w 10/1, For Pleasure ew 40/1 13.55 Shishkin wins, over 6 lengths. 14.30 Aye Right 11/2, Milan Native 9/1, Vintage Clouds 20/1 15.05 Honeysuckle 5/2, Aspire Tower 20/1 e/w 15.40 Roksana e/w 7/2, Minella Melody w/o fav 16/1.Continue reading “Tuesday Cheltenham ’21”

Sat 5th Dec

1.30 Aintree – Becher Chase – this is always an extreme stamina test. A combination of the soft ground, extended trip and usual strong pace over the National fences. I’d worry about the trip for Aso, Jett & Coo Star Sivola. On recent form we can rule out Joe Farrell and with no run inContinue reading “Sat 5th Dec”

Newbury 28th Nov – Hennessy

You call it the Ladbrokes Trophy if you want and I’ll get the filthy after-time in early, I tipped De Rasher Counter at 33/1 ante-post on 1st Nov last year. One by One: Topofthegame has 6-8lbs in hand based on Delta Work & Santini. Both only if he runs to his very very best. ItContinue reading “Newbury 28th Nov – Hennessy”

Saturday 31st Oct

What a terrific days racing in store. Down Royal Firstly – Gordon Elliott might go through the card here. 1.50 Gordon & JP with multiple runners here. Ten Ten won his maiden at this meeting around here in 2017 before missing plenty of time. He was a decent novice chaser last term, winning a beginnersContinue reading “Saturday 31st Oct”

Wetherby & Down Royal

Friday 2.10 Wetherby Louis Vac Pouch – wasn’t off a yard first time out. Jumped off behind, stayed behind and came home in his own time. Getting involved here will require a significant step forward but this seems to be a track where Kirby has plenty of success (and runners) so I expect more effort.Continue reading “Wetherby & Down Royal”

Cheltenham 2021 – Longshots

The last piece was a bit ‘too obvious’ talking about the top of the market and the champions returning. Here’s five selections that are a little more from left field. Ones you may not need or want to back just yet but worth considering perhaps. Aspire Tower – Champion Hurdle – 50/1 Re-watch the TriumphContinue reading “Cheltenham 2021 – Longshots”
