Today Selection and Info

Lots of races to get through today so wont be going into too much detail.

Newmarket

1:50 - GRAPHIC GUEST (8/1) - E/W - This horse has a very nice pedigree and is from a family which the trainer knows all about. He has some high profile entries and although the favourite will be very difficult to beat, I think this one has an e/w shout. The Hills runner Mrs Warren is expected to need the run but should progress into a reasonable type this season.

2:25 - MUKHADRAM (3/1) NAP - This horse is strongly fancied by connections and is thought to be a very promising type, the opposition doesn't look that great and the yard are hopeful that he will win the race in good style. Like Mrs Warrne the Hill's runner Bunraku is expected to need the run but he has been performing very nicely at home and at a big price he could be a tasty little e/w bet.

3:00 - ROUGEMONT (28/1) & HANDSOME MAN (14/1) E/W - The first selection came from the same source that gave me the 33/1 winners yesterday and this horse is thought to be overpriced and rates as a good e/w bet. The second selection is a very promising type who is destined for great things, whether he will be primed for the race is uncertain but if he is then I strongly believe that he will go very close. The Hills runner ELLAAL has been the subject of positive reports but is a horse which divides opinion in the camp. No one is 100% sure whether the horse will stay this kind of distance and on the basis of pedigree it looks unlikely but his work at home is encouraging. If they go off at a crawl today then he would definitely have an e/w shout and although a few in the yard are having a place punt, I'm going to use the race as a watching brief as far as he is concerned.

3:35 - SIRIUS PROSPECT (4/1) - This horse flopped on his debut this season but looked in need of the run and is clearly a lot better than that performance. He has been the subject of positive reports from the camp in the last few days and I expect this horse to continue his progression today. As far as e/w alternatives go, ELUSIVITY is the talking horse and when this yard back their runners they usually go very close and I expect Spencer to make a valiant attempt to make all. For those looking to back the Favourite GENKI he will be held up and will probably hit a bigger price than the SP in running so if you fancy him take advantage of the in play market.

4:10 - FORGOTTEN HERO (15/2) E/W & MIGHTY AMBITION (6/1) WIN - It is almost impossible for me to pick between these two and for that reason I had to back them both. The Hill's runner is thought to be something a little bit special and the way he travels in a race is incredibly exciting. He Michael can get him settled early on then he could be the dark horse in this race and he is definitely destined for big and better things this season. MIGHTY AMBITION is a horse which I have always like and have been waiting for him to make his reappearance for a while. Along with Handsome Man this horse looks likes one of Godolphins more exciting prospects.

4:45 - RANSOM NOTE (6/1) E/W - Now I wouldn't usually go e/w on a 6/1 shot but despite the strong word which I received from the Hill's camp I have to fear Twice Over who on his day is a class above this field.

5:20 - SHAME ON YOU (15/1) and RIOT OF COLOUR (13/2) E/W - The Hill's yard fancy their runner in this race and I have also had a word for the Beckett runner. Looks like an open affair so I have decided to back them both e/w but only small stakes.

5:50 - MARTIN CHUZZLEWIT (4/1) - Received a very strong word for this horse earlier today and he is my NB of the Newmarket meeting today.

Cheltenham


2:35 - QUASPAL (8/1) E/W - Now looking at this horses chasing profile you would be very concerned about backing him today, however the handicapper has given him a real chance awarding him with an opening mark of just 120. He wouldn't be the first horse from this illustrious connections to show significant improvement on his handicap debut and I have a feeling we may see the horse in a better light today.

3:45 - INSIDER DEALER (9/1) E/W - Now this is an INFO selection and he is apparently expected to go very close today. Personally I can't really see it but the guy very rarely gets it wrong and I'm having a small e/w punt on this one.

Wolverhampton

6:05 - BLACK CADILLAC (6/4) - This horse is fully expected to get the job done today and I have had a nice sized bet on this one.




That concludes today's bets but I'm waiting for a call from a friend who has two strong fancies today so I will post them as soon as I get the call.
