Hi
Well this may have worked out perfectly as Hopefull has indicated to me that he will probably be quitting this thread and moving on to another at the start of April and it is always nice to go out with a bang.
Yesterday proved to be a good day as Spycatcher, Soprano and Midnight Lion all won on the maul bet which would have been a +9 point profit had you backed them all or a +4.5 point profit if you had kicked to touch after the win. The each way punts had a couple of placed returns for a nominal +0.25 profit so it was good news all round.
Today Many Men won at 2-1 on the rolling maul which means if you had quit after the win, it would again have posted a profit of +2 or broken even if you played through. The each way bets again posted a profit of this time +7.2 points which made for a another profit on the day of between +7.2 and +9.2 points dependent on how you played the selections.
I was about to say it will be interesting to see if Hopefull posts again tomorrow or leaves it there…and I have just seen his post arrive in the thread…lol.

Hi
Seskin Flash goes in the 2.20 at Downpatrick today and we are due a bit of good luck with this thread.

Hi
As suspected although we did not get a market mover in the 3.02 Seasett became a non runner and Sir Carnegie although only finishing 7th ran a blinder at 50-1 and will be worth noting later on. The same trainer has Hewick running in the Grand National and that one has already attracted a bit attention.
The other one mentioned in the last post Midnight Eagle opened at 200-1 and went all the way down to 14-1 and although not winning is part of something we are working on around market movers.
Having mentioned the Grand National with relation to Hewick, as per usual we have been asked for our selections and I will have a chat with my (current) co conspirators to see if they wish to put one or two up but bear in mind as with Cheltenham this would not usually be a race we would normally cover and as a betting prospect should be treated as a bit of fun.
To start the ball rolling having mentioned Hewick where the big prices have already gone I would not put anyone off backing Mr Vango the 40-1 has gone but the 33-1 for 6 places with Sky looks a good shout with Non Runner No Bet attached.

Hi
I was not sure whether you had noticed that Titanium is going out again today in the 5.10 at the Curragh he is 25-1 for 5 places. I know I have put Fort Vega up in the same race for the Beat The Lotto (£) but I am thinking if Titanium runs anywhere near his best at the very least he might be worth a shout at 10-1 for 8 places. ?

Hi
The only return yesterday was Koenigsstern but at 25-1 it was enough to make it another break even day which has steadied the ship and with Hopeful providing a hatful of selections today we have high hopes of a return to winning ways. The prices are as follows…

14:25 DONCASTER Spycatcher @ 9-2
15:15 KEMPTON-AW Soprano @ 11-10
15:55 UTTOXETER Coqolino @ 12-1 but 13-2 without Coqolino is option B
16:35 CURRAGH Mother Mara @ 10-1 but 6-1 without Restful & Dawn Spirit is option B

Hi
No worries Hopefull we usually hold off until about 9pm just in case, besides it would be shame to miss out on a 1/7th share of a lottery win….lol. I will now fill in the blanks and will go with some bigger prices this weekend.

Ospreys +3.5 to beat Scarlets @ 10-11
Kempton 3.15 Soprano @ 4-5
Fulham to beat Palace @ 5-4
Forest to beat Brighton @ 3-1
Curragh 5.10 Fort Vega betting without Indigo Five @ 11-2
Taylor Pendrith to win the Houston Open @ 6-1

The lottery numbers will be 4,7,16,23,26 and 50

Hi
That was better yesterday with the usual scenario, if we had kicked to touch after a gain we would have ended up +6.1 points up. But if you played the full package you would have made just a 0.5 point profit.
But onward’s and upwards and here are today’s prices with a full package of option B’s.

14:10 FONTWELL Bobalot @ 6-1 or 23-10 without Bank On Frank & Shuil Ceoil
20:00 DUNDALK-AW Truth Be Told @ 5-1 or 2-1 without Propose
E/W AND PLACE
14:40 FONTWELL Calvic @ 20-1 or option B 16-1 for 4 places
15:45 FONTWELL Koenigsstern @ 25-1 or option B 22-1 for 4 places

Hi
At first glance I was disappointed with the results yesterday with only Rockonliam and Knockaneleigh Girl placing but having looked through the replays etc St Anthonys Corner was a non runner and Tir Og was leading and nailed on for a place if not a win when falling in the straight. Howdoyoulikeherhome stumbled on the final bend and (reportedly) hung left throughtout but still finished a length of placing.
So in hindsight we will give this another go as we still have a few weeks to play with the data before our end of season dabble on April 2Oth when we hope to land the “Holy Grail”. Lets hope we do not end up with just holes in our bank balance…lol.

Hi
The thread would have suffered had you gone all in but would have fared so much better again had you kicked to touch on the maul after a gain. The all in option would have lost -6.5 points but the stop when a profit is in would have gained +1.5 points. Both the each way bets went down so it would still have been a small -2.5 points overall but means perhaps it worth going back over the results to see how the selections would have worked out using different staking plans. Here are today’s prices.

16:25 WHAMPTON-AW Nordic Glory @ 6-1 or 11-4 without Mashaan
16:55 CHELMSFORD-AW I Maximus @ 4-5
17:00 WHAMPTON-AW Voltaic @ 11-2 or 10-3 without Pessoa
19:30 CHELMSFORD-AW Kracking @ 6-1 or 7-2 without Once Adaay & Stella Hogan
E/W AND PLACE
14:35 SOUTHWELL-AW Jar Du Desert @ 6-1 2 places

[Mike]

Hi
We will have another dab at the new system tomorrow using the following options over at Clonmel

4.15 Rockonliam @ 5-2
4.15 Howdoyoulikeherhome @ 3-1
4.45 Knockaneleigh Girl 12-1 but 6-1 without Rachael’s Secret & Ashdale Flyer
5.15 Esticky End 25-1 but 17-1 without Volez Vous & Klanisi Dubh
5.15 St Anthonys Corner @ 7-1 for 4 places
5.45 Tir Og @ 8-1 for 4 places

[Mike]

Hi
It was another whitewash on the maul yesterday and unfortunately Val Basset placing on the each way wagers could not save the day as we dropped -7 but such is life there were a few close calls in the results and I am sure we can turn this around very quickly with today’s selections albiet with the odd option B.
14:30 HEREFORD Jackeline @ 11-2 or 11-4 without Alexandra Larose
16:07 HEREFORD Renoir @ 5-2
18:30 KEMPTON-AW Pietro @ 5-1 or 3-1 without Solar Army & Macedonian

E/W AND PLACE
14:45 MARKET RASEN Je Viens Du Large @ 11-1
19:00 KEMPTON-AW Popmaster @ 8-1

[Mike]

Hi
Unfortunately yesterday was a white wash on the maul for -5 but the each way placed at 18-1 with BOG as it was a single bet so it was only a -2.4 point drop on the day. Here are today’s prices…

14:20 HEXHAM Final Edgar @ 7-1 however option B is a given @ 5-1 without Red Cadillac
14:35 TAUNTON Fasol @ 2-7

17:05 TAUNTON Miss Fedora @ 6-1
17:15 NEWCASTLE-AW Life On The Rocks @ 13-8
E/W AND PLACE
15:05 TAUNTON Chosen Hero @ 14-1 or 10-1 for 4 places as option B
17:45 NEWCASTLE-AW Val Bassett @ 5-1

[Mike]

Hi
Unfortunately although the competition was a no score draw this weekend we feel we were a tad unlucky not to hit a treble especially as Viktor Hovland won @ 8-1 and Fad Eadrainin won @ 5-4 the Ospreys won but just missed the handicap by a couple of points etc etc.
On the positive had you backed them as straight bets you would have made a decent +5.25 point profit. We are convinced we are getting close to a full house on this thread and will be back Friday night as usual.

[Mike]

Hi
Playing it straight yesterday would have lost you -6 points however playing the kick to touch option on the maul would have gained you a minimal profit as the each way bet was a non runner. Had you played option B you would have had a 14-1 place but..you pays your money and takes your chances…lol.
Here are today’s selections and the early prices

13:47 LINGFIELD-AW Baileys Jubilation @ 11-2 option B 5-2 without So Sassy
14:30 WINCANTON Larchmont Lass @ 11-8
15:47 LINGFIELD-AW Neptune Legend @ 11-4

18:30 WHAMPTON-AW Ray Gun @ 7-2
E/W AND PLACE
14:17 LINGFIELD-AW Etretat @ 12-1 for 4 places

[Mike]

Hi
A mixed bag yesterday which resulted in a 2.5 point profit on the rolling maul and after taking out the loss from the each way wager left a 0.5 profit on the day. This may not seem much but the name of the game is primarily not to lose any money the wins are a bonus. Here are today’s early prices

14:10 CARLISLE Admiral Stewart NR
14:28 EXETER Kayf Dancer @ 2-15
15:20 CARLISLE Breakdance Kid @ 14-1 (option B each way wager)

17:13 LIMERICK Eternal Echo @ 9-1 but option B 10-3 without Carrigmoon Beech & Light Up The Dark
