iiii- Texas Jack 1.30 -10-1 - With the Irish having a good festival and this horse has already been backed from 20-1 into 10's on the back of Boston Bob and Lord Windermere's run today I am confident the form of its last run is very good.Also finished good third to Back In Focus. Never really put into race but wouldnt have won anyway. Beneffcient very underrated horse and won well.
iii - Champion Court 2.40 - 8-1 -Backed this most of season and not had its ground but still run some tremendous races. Haven't lost the faith and hope I haven't by tomorrow night. 4th behind Long Run, Grand Crus, Captain Chris and beat Riverside Theartre on ground it wouldnt have liked nor when second to Williams Wishes who if fit would have won which ever race it went for this festival. Didnt last the trip, just short of really good class
ii - According to Trev -2.05- 20-1 - This is a great value price for a horse who has course form over this trip and who hasnt had his ground for his last three runs. Even then he ran well behind Coneygree, a real mudlark. Not good enough.
i - Hunt Ball - 4.00- 6-1 -Another long term heart horse who has ran his heart out over trips to far in the hope of making his owners dreams/talk of a Gold Cup win come to fruition. Luckily Nony Knott has now seen sense and running back over his trip/ground today. Lets hope like Champion Court he gets his just deserts . Finished a brave fourth but in grip of handicapper
Also fancy
Reve De Sivola 3.20- 9-2 -LOST

Boston Angel 15/2 £5.50 win
Any Currency 12/1 £3.50 win
A New Story 16/1 £2.50 win

The reason I do more than 1 selection in competitive handicaps is because they are all given a weight by the handicapper to dead heath on the line,but it never works out that way,clever trainers run their horses to pick up a minimum weight, so you have to be canny as well as a punter!
Close House 8/1 £5.50 win
Top Of The Range 14/1 £3 win
£20.50 staked if winner, minimum return £45
This is a very difficult race,dreadful prices considering the number of runners,could easily pick 7/8 horses with a chance,not very confident,but as I am in front over the last 2 days,will have abet!
First Lieutenant 5/2 £15 win
Hope your week keeps going strong mate and well done on your picks so far.
Solwhit 9/1 £4 win
Reve De Sivola 9/2 £8 win

BOG WARRIOR -WORLD HURDLE-SAW THIS WIN VERY COMFORTABLY RECENTLY ON SKY CHANNELS.
JOESMAN,LIKE YOUR THINKING ON DAVY RUSSELL-SAW THE INTERVIEW YEATSRDAY,WHERE HE WAS WITH FERDY MURPHY FOR 2 YEARS,AND RIDING IN IRELAND.HE WAS OFFERED A NEW DEAL,BUT NO IRISH RIDING.
HE RETURNED TO IRELAND -PROBABLY ONE OF THE BEST DECISIONS HE'S EVER MADE.
YOU MIGHT GUESS THAT I'M DEFINITELY NOT A FAN OF FERDY MURPHY.
Prob donate that to corals poker clients on Saturday.
I enjoy a small flutter now i only put a few quid on so if i lose no great problem.
1.30 Cheltnham Dynaste looks solid however i will be backing Captain Coonan and Texas Jack hoping for an upset.
2.05 Cheltenham Holywell, Ballybough Pat and Ely Brown my three against the field.
The Pipe's got what they deserved mate.
Benefficient very underrated horse. Form was there for all to see, pity we didnt see it
