Hi Rob
I must confess although not a huge fan of the National I did watch it and when they cleared the last I thought Jordans was nailed on and whoever it was had that bet of £100,000 @ 8-1 on I Am Maximus must have been having kittens.
But although frustrating for you that was still a cracking shout to get one in the frame at the price.

Hi
We have another “To Follow” to add into the mix today and a top up wager on one of last nights early doors selections all at Down Royal.

3.05 Danny the Champ without Only For Our Man & King Gris @ 10-1 4 places
3.35 Kellys Corner (a new “To Follow” horse) 11-1 for 6 places

Its going to be a squeaky day today as we have had to have had 1 point each way on the new “To Follow” horse Kelly’s Corner which brings today’s possible losses to 5 points but it is a case of “Who Dares Wins”. Lets hope it does not turn into a case of “Who Dares Wins …Rodney”.

Hi
Now we have got Cheltenham and Aintree of the way we can get back to the threads in earnest. We have two “Extra Markets” horses going tomorrow both at Down Royal.
2.30 Urbs Intacta Manet 18-1 (bet 365) but we have gone 35-4 for 5 places
3.05 Danny The Champ 33-1 but we have taken 15-1 for 6 places
We may go in again tomorrow but for now the bet is just 1/2 point each way singles.

Hi
As we hit the last day of Aintree we will once again put some up for a placepot as it looks the obvious low stakes fun bet. We do not use the majority of these selections in the threads but theses are just our ideas of some to back in each race. We had a couple of winners on the first day albeit shorter prices but yestersday brought in a hat full of placed selections and a couple of decent priced winners by way of Will The Wise 9-1 and Zeus Power 3-1 so hopefully it has been a worthwhile article.
Without further adieu here are todays fancies plus a bonus “Big Bang”…lol.
12.45 Kala Conti
1.20 Hold The Serve & Good To Be Alive
1.55 Ballyfad
2.30 Brave Fortune & Mr Hope Street
3.05 Jinko Blue & Strong Leader
4.00 Grangeclare West & I Am Maximus
After the dust has settled the final race has two we fancy betting without Bass Hunter & Look me which are Risky Obsession or Merlin Allen with a slight preference for the latter.
The “Big Bang” bonus bet for fun will be a bet builder from the following list of runners which we think could finish the big race.
Grangeclare West 9-1
I am Maximus 8-1
Panic Attack 8-1
Favouri De Champdou 33-1
The Real Whacker 66-1
Gerri Colombe 22-1
Captain Cody 16-1
Montys Star 12-1
We would recommend picking just a few of these out but if you go for all of them for a top 10 finish you can get 5,000-1 plus a 25% bonus with some firms making it a harmless small stakes bet.

Hi
We have been doing alright lately so I am feeling confident about tomorrow’s selections.
Aintree 12.45 Kala Conti without Slavator Munti @ 11-8
Aintree 2.30 Brave Fortune without Mr Hope Street & Cruz Control @ 10-3
Aintree 3.05 Jinko Blue without Honesty Policy & Strong Leader @ 7-2
Aintree 4.00 Quai De Bourbon without I am Maximus & Panic Attack @ 20-1
Southwell 5.15 Tortured Soul @ 10-3
Womens Rugby Union Wales +5.5 to beat Scotland @ 4-5

The lottery numbers are the usual 4,7,16,23,26 & 50

Hi Suds
They all count you made another £25 today and that takes you into what looks like a winning position as you now have a total of +£51.88 in the cash competition unless Mgame (+£16.25) Rob or Andy can pull a rabbit out of the hat in the next three weeks.
You also picked up +25 points in the competition which means you go into second in the April competition.
Mgame +42.62
Suds +25.00
Andy +21.60
I will update all the totals on Sunday as we still have a couple entered tomorrow Kala Conti (Moi) who goes in the 12.45 and then Haiti Couleurs (Rob) and Quai De Bourbon (Moi) who both run in the National.

[Mike]

Hi
I think the way it is going I could have guessed today results the two I left alone as they had already won for me Agameoftwohalves & James The Brave both won again and the rest all lost.
This means I will need someone to throw me a lifeline soon as I have now managed to slip further into the mire and now stand at a paltry +6.24. But on the bright side I have nothing for tomorrow so my head will remain above the mud until at least Sunday.

[Mike]

Hi
Apologies it was a long day yesterday and I was not quite 100% last night but here we have the full update.
Wexford 4.55 Accustomed
Wexford 4.55 Humble Brag
Wexford 4.55 Miss Mini Bee
These three are all taken for a top 7 finish with the bet365 boost included @ 3.75 -1
Wexford 4.55 Speakasyoufind
This one is non runner but hopefully he will get a run shortly.
Wexford 5.28 Agameoftwohalves
Wexford 6.05 James The Brave
Both of the above have already won for us so we will leave those alone today.
Dundalk 7.50 Grey Fable 12-1
I have taken this one each way @ 8-1 betting without both Desert Friend & Celtic Druid.

[Mike]

Hi
As suspected favorites and short priced winners were the order of the day yesterday but today should see a better mix of returns and here are our suggestions for the placepot.
1.45 Joyouse
1.45 Jazzy Matty
2.20 Salver
2.20 Regents Stroll
2.55 Sober Glory
3.30 Heart Wood
4.05 Will The Wise
4.05 Il Est Francais
4.40 Zeus Power
As for the last race the 5.15 Pourquoi Pas Papa looks a decent enough option especially as Paul Nicholls does well in this type of race.

[Mike]

Hi Suds
All done £5 win on Grey Dawning @ 4-1 (best odds guaranteed) best of luck.

[Mike]

Hi
I am a bit pushed for time tonight but here are tomorrows thread options.
Wexford 4.55 Accustomed
Wexford 4.55 Humble Brag
Wexford 4.55 Miss Mini Bee
Wexford 4.55 Speakasyoufind
Wexford 5.28 Agameoftwohalves
Wexford 6.05 James The Brave
Dundalk 7.50 Grey Fable
The only one we are going with tonight is the “To Follow” horse Speakasyoufind @ 20-1 for 4 places. I know I have missed the early 40-1 opening price for 3 places but such is life.
As soon as the extra markets become available I will fill in the blanks, with hopefully a chance to place a decent bet builder in the 4.55.

[Mike]

Hi
We finally had a couple of winners today with Jango Baie +21 and Brighterdaysahead +21.6. Mgame had both so goes into an impressive early lead in the April competition with +42.6 points Andy is now in second with +21.6.
We have two going in the competition at Aintree tomorrow with Grey Dawning for Suds in the 3.30 and Il Est Francais for Steve in the 4.05.

[Mike]

Hi
Unlikely to be any surprises today at Aintree (famous last words) especially with the small fields on the first day of the meeting. But as promised here are our suggestions which we will use in our placepot. Because of the short priced favorites included today the long shot of the day would be to try these for the jackpot as well.
1.45 Maesto Conti
2.20 Lulumba
2.55 Jango Baie
3.30 It’s On The Line
4.05 Brighterdaysahead
4.40 Javert Allen
The final race is the 5.15 and Ti’mamzel looks a solid option to hit the frame.

[Mike]

Hi
Unbelievably no one scored points last weekend which means we head into the Aintree meeting all square. Here are Thursdays declared runners.
2.20 Lulumba (Mgame,Joe & Moi)
2.55 Jango Baie (Mgame)
4.05 The New Lion (Steve,Rob, Andy & Joe)
4.05 Brighterdaysahead (Andy & Mgame)

[Mike]

Hi
We had two winners two non runners and two losers and two close but no coconut losers.
Fairyhouse 4.25 Blow Wind Blow Top 3 finish @ 2-1 (Non Runner)
Fairyhouse 5.00 Mode Avion Top 5 finish @ 9-4 (6th)
Haydock 5.05 Major Fortune @ 4-1 (Won)
Ospreys +15 to beat Ulster @ 10-11 (Won)
(Sunday) Fairyhouse 3.15 Love Me Tender Top 3 finish @ 15-8 (4th)
(Sunday) Fairyhouse 5.00 Kala Conti Top 3 finish @ 5-2 (Non Runner)
This means we got a win as we ended up with default trebles due to the non runners. I say we win but the lottery ticket did win a lucky dip which goes tomorrow night.
I believe the numbers are 8,10,29,35,51 & 58.
