Bet of the Day: LAURELDEAN RIVER 3.10 Market Rasen , 9/4 , 1st of 7 , WINNER! (Early Price 10/3!)
Lay of the Day: MAXIMIX 3.30 Fontwell , 2/1 , UR of 5 , WINNER!
Each Way of The Day: COLONIAL JIM 5.00 Fontwell , 3/1 , PU of 11 , WIN + PLACE LOSER! (Early Price 13/2!)
A better day! Laureldean River was very well backed and i fancied the selection to turn over the short priced favourite! The main threat tho came from the staying on Kellystown Lad but the selection dug deep under a good ride and was never headed to score by 11/4 lengths! The lay of the temperamental favourite Maximix at a very short price looked a good bet and the selection was beat back in second when a tired jump at the last so him unseat the rider and miss out on the place money! Colonial Jim had the chance to make it a perfect 3 and was backed as tho he was expected to more than halving in price from an opening 13/2! With the favourite falling at the very first fence the race was there for the taking but despite the selection trading as low as 1.68 in running he quickly dropped back through the field when the pace lifted before being pulled up! The Basher
Bet of the Day: TEMPLE FAIR 4.50 Wolverhampton , 7/2 , 6th of 8 , LOSER!
Lay of the Day: RJEEF 3.40 Lingfield , 5/2 , 1st of 7 , LOSER!
Each Way of The Day: WRIGHTY ALMIGHTY 4.40 Lingfield, 18/1 , 8th of 9 , WIN + PLACE LOSER!
A shocking day with all three selections losing! Rjeef won impressively in what looked a competitive race, sitting just in behind the pace the selectioned quickened away without any challengers! The Each Way bet Wrighty Almighty looked overpriced through his form with the second Lastkingofscotland but the selection took a keen hold early in rear and never threatened! The day ended very dissapointingly as Temple Fair travelled smoothly before asked for an effort 2 furlongs out and found little! Bring on Tomorrow! The Basher
Monday, 29 March 2010
Bet of the Day: ROUGHAM 2.20 Wincanton , 15/8 , 2nd of 17 , LOSER! (Early Price 11/4!)
Lay of the Day: RECORD BREAKER 3.35 Doncaster , 4/1 , 4th of 7 , WINNER! (Early Price 3/1!)
Each Way of The Day: KELTIC CLICHE 5.05 Wincanton , 10/3 , PU of 12 , WIN + PLACE LOSER! (Early Price 6/1!)
A dissapointing day especially as the markets moved in favour of all three selections! Rougham was very well backed and despite trading odds on in running was headed at the final fence by the favourite who stayed on strongly! Record Breaker had question marks about the ground and never dealt a blow. The selection was held up in rear and found nothing pressure finishing well down the field! Keltic Cliche was very well supported into joint second favourite but after a couple of sketchy jumps was under pressure and quickly pulled up! The Basher
Sunday, 28 March 2010
Bet of the Day: QHILIMAR 2.45 Newbury , 11/2 , 4th of 14 , LOSER!
Lay of the Day: IRISH LEGEND 3.00 Stratford , 11/4 , 2nd of 9 , WINNER!
Each Way of The Day: THE OSTEOPATH 2.00 Doncaster , 14/1 , 13th of 19 , WIN + PLACE LOSER!
A poor day! The Osteopath ran a good race if only the far side had been involved. The pace was with the stand side and the selection never looked in contention! Qhilimar is a horse i've been waiting for and looked to be making serious headway trading as low as 1.8 in running before hitting 4 out and again clattering the last when disputing the places! One to not lose faith in! The lay of Irish Legend ended the day better as the selection finished 25 lengths back in second! The Basher
Saturday, 27 March 2010
Bet of the Day: BLUE GUN 2.20 Newbury , 11/2 , Brought Down , LOSER!
Lay of the Day: STORM SURGE 3.55 Carlisle , 7/4 , 3rd of 5 , WINNER! (Early Price 7/2!)
Each Way of The Day: DVINSKY 2.40 Lingfield , 11/2 , 5th of 8 , WIN + PLACE LOSER! (Early Price 7/1!)
A frustrating day! Blue Gun was badly hampered and brought down at the very first fence! Dvinsky was supported but didn't get the lead having to sit in behind the front 2, when the pace quickened Dvinsky was unable to and missed out on the places! The lay of the favourite Storm Surge was comfortable as the selection was pushed along 5 out and hard ridden from the second last coming home 12 lengths back in third and out of the places! The Basher
Friday, 26 March 2010
Bet of the Day: BRUACH NA MARA 3.40 Thurles , 11/4 , 4th of 18 , LOSER! (Early Price 5/1!)
Lay of the Day: MANOUBI 3.50 Ayr , 6/1 , 2nd of 10 , WINNER! (Early Price 7/2!)
Each Way of The Day: DEEP REFLECTION 3.00 Ludlow , 9/1 , 9th of 13 , WIN + PLACE LOSER! (Early Price 12/1!)
Only the lay selection succesful today! Deep Reflection was supported each way but was under pressure mid race and failed to challenge! Bruach Na Mara travelled strongly and stayed on for pressure but the winner looked to have something in hand and in a blanket finish missed out on the places! Manoubi was freindless in the market and was held on previous form with today's rivals but put in an improved effort, staying on strongly to finish 3 lengths back in second but the lay landed! The Basher
Thursday, 25 March 2010
Bet of the Day: AKARSHAN 2.40 Haydock , 5/2 , 4th of 6 , LOSER! (Early Price 4/1!)
Lay of the Day: ROTHRES 4.40 Warwick , 10/3 , 2nd of 4 , LOSER! (Early Price 11/4!)
Each Way of The Day: CAMDEN GEORGE 3.50 Haydock , 9/2 , 3rd of 10 , PLACE WINNER! (Early Price 14/1!)
A dissapointing day with the markets speaking in favour of all the selections! Akarshan was sent off favourite but when the pace quickened he failed to go with the leaders and came home a distant fourth! The Each Way selection was one of the best backed horses of the day and made smooth progress through the field beforing hitting the 3rd last and losing momentum, having to settle for third despite looking like making a big challenge! The day finished very poorly with Rothres jumping the better of his rivals in a poor field and won comfortably! The Basher
Wednesday, 24 March 2010
Bet of the Day: HEAVENLY CHORUS 2.20 Southwell , 11/2 , 4th of 6 , LOSER! (Early Price 7/1!)
Lay of the Day: QULINTON 3.15 Exeter , 11/4 , 2nd of 4 , WINNER!
Each Way of The Day: PACCO 1.50 Southwell , 20/1 , 8th of 9 , WIN + PLACE LOSER!
A poor day! I was hoping Pacco's jumping would improve today but after tracking the leaders a poor jump at the 11th blew his momentum and was under pressure from then on! Heavenly Chorus was well supported and i was hoping the short priced favourite was beatable. The selection unfortunately failed to mount any sort of challenge! The day finished slighty better with the lay of Qulinton in a reduced field. The selection was under pressure 4 out and always looked held by the winner! Bring on tomorrow! The Basher

Monday, 22 March 2010
Bet of the Day: STORMIN EXIT 3.40 Kelso , 6/4 , 2nd of 7 , LOSER! (Early Price 11/4!)
Lay of the Day: PIPER ROYAL 3.00 Plumpton , 9/2 , 10th of 11 , WINNER! (Early Price 5/2!)
Each Way of The Day: DIANNES CHOICE 2.20 Wolverhampton , 8/1 , 4th of 12 , WIN + PLACE LOSER!
A little unlucky today with the markets speaking favorably but a case of not close enough! Diane Choice ran first and after breaking slowly was always playing catch up. Despite staying on late he could only get within 2 lengths of the winner and missed out on the place money to in a close finish! Piper Royal looked far to short this morning and drifted right up until the off. After racing up with the pace he was under pressure early before being pulled up two from home! The day ended frustratingly with Stormin Exit who despite not putting in the best display of jumping was still there at the final fence. Had the jockey not decided to go round the outside before the last and held onto the rail i'm certain he would have finished better than the 1/2 length second! The Basher
Sunday, 21 March 2010
Bet of the Day: COOL MISSION 2.30 Carlisle , 2/1 , 1st of 16 , WINNER!
Lay of the Day: PERFECT REWARD 3.10 Fontwell , 5/4 , 1st of 6 , LOSER!
Each Way of The Day: JERONIMO JOE 4.10 Carlisle , 9/2 , 2nd of 9 , PLACE WINNER! (Early Price 13/2!)
A better day today! Cool Mission got the day off to a good start and i was surprised when the selection wasn't sent of favourite! After making smooth headway Jason Maguire sent the selection into the lead 2 out and pulled away to win by an impressive 18 lengths! The lay selection was a little unfortunate today as there were 5 non runners before the race including two fancied selections and when Power Elite fell 3 from home the selection was left an easy victory at short odds! Jeronimo Joe was supported late and ran a great race! After staying on from 3 out only a bad blunder at the last cost him the race, getting within a neck of the winner on the line! The Basher
Bet of the Day: GREYFRIARSCHORISTA 3.00 Lingfield , 15/8 , 2nd of 13 , LOSER! (Early Price 9/4!)
Lay of the Day: BECAUSEWECAN 4.10 Lingfield , 6/4 , 2nd of 5 , WINNER!
Each Way of The Day: BALLYDUB 3.15 Uttoxeter , 8/1 , Faller , WIN + PLACE LOSER!
Not the best of days! The Bet of the Day traded as low as 1.33 in running when hitting the front but in a blanket finish was beaten a nose on the line! Ballydub's race ended very early when falling at the 2nd which was very dissapoiting! The lay selection went in our favour as again another close finish so Becausewecan beaten a nose! The Basher
Saturday, 20 March 2010
Bet of the Day: CARLITO BRIGANTE 1.30 Cheltenham , 7/2 , 4th of 17 , LOSER! (Early Price 4/1!)
Lay of the Day: ANDURIL 2.20 Fakenham , 4/1 , 3rd of 8 , WINNER!
Each Way of The Day: ANY GIVEN DAY 2.05 Cheltenham , 14/1 , 14th of 28 , WIN + PLACE LOSER!
A disappointing end to a very difficult day at the festival! Carlito Brigante was well supported but was quickly outpaced and although staying on for fourth never threatened! The each way selection raced prominently but was under pressure early and dropped back through the field! The lay selection again helped the day as Anduril never got near, he was ridden before 3 out and finished 20 lengths back in 3rd The Basher
Friday, 19 March 2010
Bet of the Day: ALFIE SHERRIN 2.05 Cheltenham , 11/4 , 12th of 24 , LOSER! (Early Price 7/2!)
Lay of the Day: POQUELIN 2.40 Cheltenham , 11/4 , 2nd of 13 , WINNER!
Each Way of The Day: I'MONCLOUDNINE 4.40 Cheltenham, 14/1 , 23rd of 24 , WIN + PLACE LOSER! (Early Price 20/1!)
A poor day! Alfie Sherrin was well supported but jumped poorly and never challenged! Poquelin ran well but looked a lay at the prices and found one to good in a competitive race! I'moncloudnine was again well supported but hugely disappointing, coming under pressure early before being pulled up! The Basher
Thursday, 18 March 2010
Bet of the Day: FINIANS RAINBOW 2.05 Cheltenham , 11/2 , 5th of 18 , LOSER!
Lay of the Day: LONG RUN 2.40 Cheltenham , 11/4 , 3rd of 9 , WINNER! (Early Price 9/4!)
Each Way of The Day: MAMLOOK 4.00 Cheltenham , 18/1 , 10th of 28 , WIN + PLACE LOSER! (Early Price 22/1!)
A disappointing day as neither the bet selections ran poorly but failed to get involved in the finish! Finians Rainbow traveled well and made ground through the field to mount a challenge 2 out but failed to pick up and looked one paced! The lay of long run looked the main bet of the day at the early price and several poor jumps cost him this time in a competitive field! Mamlook was an eye catching traveler 3 from home but when asked to go challenge his weight might have told as he was unable to close in! The Basher

Tuesday, 16 March 2010
Bet of the Day: CAPTAIN CEE BEE 2.05 Cheltenham, 5/2 , 8th of 12 , LOSER! (Early Price 3/1!)
Lay of the Day: FLORES SEA 3.05 Southwell , 11/4 , 3rd of 7 , WINNER!
Each Way of The Day: ZAYNAR 3.20 Cheltenham , 15/2 , 3rd of 12 , PLACE WINNER! (Early Price 11/1!)
A mixed day! The Bet of the Day was a big fancy and was well supported throughout the morning! Unfortunately within the first couple of jumps it was clear something was amiss and Captain Cee Bee returned with a burst blood vessel! With Sizing Europe putting in a good round of jumping and claiming a well deserved victory it was even more frustrating that the selection was unable to go head to head with him again! The day got better from here on with the lay of Flores Sea who was one of the first off the bridle and although making late headway could only get a never nearer 3rd! Zaynar looked the value at 11/1 this morning in the champion hurdle and was backed accordingly putting in an excellent run, staying on strongly up the hill and claiming a well earned place! Bring on tomorrow! The Basher
Monday, 15 March 2010
Bet of the Day: STAR GALAXY 3.30 Plumpton , 7/1 , 2nd of 5 , LOSER!
Lay of the Day: INTHEJUNGLE 2.30 Plumpton , 7/2 , 7th of 9 , WINNER!
Each Way of The Day: KARASHAR 3.10 Stratford , 6/1 , 6th of 11 , WIN + PLACE LOSER!
Another frustrating day! The lay selection got the day off to a good start as Inthejungle was under pressure early before falling 3 from home! The lay selection looked to be traveling well before the 2nd last. Sat in just behind the front runners Karashar traded as low as 6/4 in running but found nothing under pressure and lacked the turn of pace of his rivals missing out on the places! After the Bet of the day yesterday was beat after going 1/100 in running, Star Galaxy suffered a similar fate trading as low as 1.04 before being headed in the final strides! Despite Star Galaxy drifting before the off he ran a huge race off a career high mark and was unlucky not to land the hat trick at a very generous 7/1! Bring on Tomorrow! The Basher
Bet of the Day: ACAPULCO 3.35 Navan 3/1 , 2nd of 8 , LOSER! (Early Price 4/1!)
Lay of the Day: IKIDUNOT 2.25 Limerick , 11/4 ,1st of 12 , LOSER! (Early Price 9/4!)
Each Way of The Day: SHAREKAN 4.05 Navan , 4/1 , 5th of 14 , WIN + PLACE LOSER! (Early Price 11/2!)
One of those days today! The markets spoke in favour of all the selections but that doesn't always help! The lay selection was taking on a smart performer and looked to short this morning but put in a good display of jumping a won comfortably! The Bet of the Day was backed late and looked to have won the race up the run in with over 15k traded at 1.01 on the exchanges only to be headed on the line! Sharekan was again backed late into clear favourite but was always out the back and despite making progress towards the finish never looked like challenging for the places! The Basher
Sunday, 14 March 2010
Bet of the Day: STORMIN EXIT 2.40 Ayr , NON RUNNER!
Lay of the Day: IL FORNO 4.00 Wolverhampton , 2/1 , 2nd of 8 , WINNER!
Each Way of The Day: BALLYBACH 2.00 Sandown , 40/1 , 18th of 18 , WIN + PLACE LOSER!
A mixed day! Ballybach was given another chance in a more competitive race after falling at the last when previously selected. The selection never looked fluent and was always in the rear of a big field before being pulled up! The bet of the day was a non runner for the second day running whihc was disappointing especially as Fred Bojangles franked the form later in the day! The day finished well tho with the lay of the favourite Il Forno which was easier than the margins suggested! The selection was under pressure off the bend and although stayed on well never looked like getting in front! The Basher
Saturday, 13 March 2010
Bet of the Day: QUIET BOB 3.10 Wincanton , NON RUNNER!
Lay of the Day: WISE MEN SAY 4.55 Wincanton , 3/1 , 1st of 6 , LOSER!
Each Way of The Day: ROYAL MACKINTOSH 3.55 Ayr , 7/1 , 9th of 9 , WIN + PLACE LOSER!
A shocking day! The Bet of the Day was an unfortunate non runner especially as the short priced favourite who i was taking on with Quiet Bob still failed to win! The each way selection traveled well on the first circuit, tracking the leaders up until the 10th before going out like a light! The selection dropped back through the field before being pulled up before 4 out! The day finished even worse with the unreliable Wise Men Say getting his head in front. The selection fought well and was in command jumping the last! Bring on the Weekend! The Basher
Friday, 12 March 2010
Thursday, 11 March 2010
Bet of the Day: TREEHOUSE 3.45 Carlisle , 7/2 , 4th of 12 , LOSER! (Early Price 5/1!)
Lay of the Day: CLOUD NINE 3.00 Wincanton , 9/4 , 5th of 5 , WINNER!
Each Way of The Day: RUTTAN LAKE 2.30 Wincanton , 12/1 , 8th of 11 , WIN + PLACE LOSER!
Not the best of days! Ruttan Lake started the day poorly and never got into the race. He was held up in rear and jumped poorly before being pulled up 2 from home! The lay selection continued the excellent recent run as Cloud Nine was an early faller at the 2nd! Treehouse was a strong fancy today and the selection was well backed beforehand. After travelling well and making progress through the field the selection traded just above evens in running but found little for pressure and dropped off tamely! The Basher
Wednesday, 10 March 2010
Bet of the Day: MAGIC OMEN 3.30 Lingfield , 5/2 , 2nd of 8 , LOSER!
Lay of the Day: BINT DOYEN 2.00 Lingfield , 5/1 , 2nd of 6 , WINNER! (Early Price 5/2!)
Each Way of The Day: HORSESHOE REEF 2.40 Fontwell, 13/2 , 2nd of 13 , PLACE WINNER! (Early Price 9/1!)
A mixed day with all 3 selections finishing second! The lay selection drifted dramatically before the off out to a very big 5/1 yet ran well in defeat despite her time off and tackling the all weather surface for the first time. Bint Doyen was only beaten by a horse i've followed previously in Exceedthewildman who came home late on the outside to win by a 1/2 length! The eachway selection looked a big price this morning and was sent to the front again traveling well in the main and when jumping the last in front traded as low as 1.42 before being headed in the final few strides! The day finished disappointingly as Magic Omen was headed off the bend before rallying late but could only close within 3/4 of a length of the winner! The Basher
Bet of the Day: ITSTEESCOMPONENTS 3.20 Newcastle , 6/5 , 2nd of 4 , LOSER!
Lay of the Day: REBLIS 4.00 Exeter , 3/1 , 3rd of 5 , WINNER! (Early Price 5/2!)
Each Way of The Day: MOZAYADA 4.40 Southwell , 17/2 , 9th of 12 , WIN + PLACE LOSER!
A disappointing day! Itsteescomponents didn't put in his best round of jumping but turning 4 from home looked in control trading at 1.3 in running but when push came to shove he lacked the fight of the staying on Blazing Diva and could only finish within 3 lengths! Reblis traveled well but jumped big and slow over several fences and didnt have the finish of his rivals! The each way selection was the most disapointing as the form line with todays winner trans sonic looked the strongest in the race and i was hoping the selection would be thereabouts on better terms today! The Basher
Tuesday, 9 March 2010
Sunday, 7 March 2010
Bet of the Day: RAPID INCREASE 3.10 Huntingdon , 6/5 , 2nd of 9 , LOSER!
Lay of the Day: PRINCE TAM 3.50 Sedgefield , 6/1 , 4th of 8 , WINNER! (Early Price 11/4!)
Each Way of The Day: ONIZTIPTOES 3.20 Sedgefield , 6/1 , 1st of 8 , WIN + PLACE WINNER!
A very good day with 2 out of 3 winning selections and a very healthy profit made! The Bet of the Day was first to run and was let down by several poor jumps during the race. Despite this the selection stayed on well and had every chance up the run in but could only close within a length of the winner! Oniztiptoes ran next and under a patient ride made smart headway 3 out always traveling well. The selection jumped the last full of running and stayed on smartly to score by 4 lengths! The lay selection drifted all day from what looked a short early price. Although Prince Tam jumps and travels he lacks a change of gear and again found little for pressure finishing out of the places! The Basher
Bet of the Day: CUCUMBER RUN 4.00 Doncaster , 6/5 , 2nd of 13 , LOSER!
Lay of the Day: LASKARI 2.55 Doncaster , 4/1 , 3rd of 6 , WINNER! (Early Price 2/1!)
Each Way of The Day: TOULOUSE EXPRESS 1.55 Kelso , 8/1 , 6th of 8 , WIN + PLACE LOSER!
A disappointing day! Toulouse Express ran no sort of race and failed to get competitive finishing a long way down the field! The lay again was successful as Laskari the early morning favourite drifted most of the day and when asked for an effort 2 from home was unable to challenge finishing out of the places! The Bet of the Day was making late progress and had every chance when stayin on trading as low as 1.27 in runing but could only get within 3/4 of a length of the winner! The Basher
Saturday, 6 March 2010
Bet of the Day: MARAAFEQ 4.30 Newbury, 6/4 , 1st of 10 , WINNER!
Lay of the Day: MISTER QUASIMODO 3.20 Newbury , 11/4 , 5th of 6 , WINNER! (Early Price 2/1!)
Each Way of The Day: GALLAGHER 3.05 Meydan , 14/1 , 5th of 12 , WIN + PLACE LOSER!
2 out of 3 today! The each way selection was first to run and i was hoping the drop back to 6 furlong would suit for Gallagher. After setting the pace the selection lead until getting headed close home trading odds on in running! The lay of Mister Quasimodo never looked in doubt as the selection jumped poorly and never got into the race! Maraafeq ended the day well staying on strongly to win by 21/2 lengths! The Basher
Friday, 5 March 2010
Thursday, 4 March 2010
Bet of the Day: LUCKY MELLOR 3.10 Southwell , 2/1 , 4th of 8 , LOSER! ( Early Price 10/3!)
Lay of the Day: MOGHAAYER 2.30 Ludlow, 10/3 , 5th of 16 , WINNER! (Early Price 3/1!)
Each Way of The Day: HEATHCLIFF 4.00 Ludlow , 13/2 , 8th of 12 , WIN + PLACE LOSER! (Early Price 9/1!)
Despite the markets speaking in favour of all today's selections it was a disappointing day! The lay selection was the perfect start as Moghaayer was under pressure early and quickly outpaced, failing to challenge for the places! The Bet of the Day was supported all morning and was sent off the 2/1 favourite. After breaking slowly and hanging right the selection never seemed on terms and although making late headway never looked like threatening! The day finished poorly as again the money came for Heathcliff but he was always in rear and didn't jump fluently before tailing off! Bring on Tomorrow! The Basher
Wednesday, 3 March 2010
Bet of the Day: SMALLJOHN 5.30 Wolverhampton , 4/1 , 4th of 7 , LOSER!
Lay of the Day: MONTE MAJOR 3.00 Wolverhampton , 9/4 , 1st of 9 , LOSER!
Each Way of The Day: ACONITUM 3.40 Folkestone , 7/2 , 3rd of 9 , PLACE WINNER! (Early Price 10/1!)
A poor day! The excellent run of successful lays came to an end today as Monte Major won by a head despite not having the run of the race! The each way selection i backed at 10/1 this morning and turned out to be one of the best backed horses of the day being sent off the 7/2 favourite! Despite the money the selection was under pressure a long way out but the persistence of Dougie Costello where others might not, was the main reason the place money was landed and a profit made! The day ended disappointingly as Smalljohn who was stepping up in class, drifted alarmingly late on and despite racing prominent lacked the turn of foot of a couple of his rivals! The Basher
Tuesday, 2 March 2010
Bet of the Day: CIRCUS OF DREAMS 2.20 Leicester , 7/4 , 1st of 5 , WINNER! (Early Price 3/1!)
Lay of the Day: ANT MUSIC 3.10 Lingfield , 10/3 , 3rd of 6 , WINNER!
Each Way of The Day: ETOILE D'OR 4.30 Catterick , 9/2 , 6th of 9 , WIN + PLACE LOSER! (Early Price 8/1!)
2 out of 3 winning selections today with the market speaking in favour of all the runners! Circus of Dreams was widely available at 3/1 all morning before substantial late money sent him off the very well backed 7/4 favourite! After racing up with the pace and jumping fluently throughout the selection took up the lead 3 from home and pulled away impressively to win by 16 lengths eased down! The lay bet again landed the money with Ant Music who never really got into the race! After being held up out the back he was under pressure 2 furlongs out and finished a never nearer 3rd, not Liam Keniry's finest ride to be honest! The final selection of the day was very well backed again almost halving in price but after racing prominently and leading 3 from home found little for pressure and failed to challenge for the places! The Basher
Monday, 1 March 2010
Bet of the Day: PLENTY OF CHAT 2.30 Hereford , 7/2 , 8th of 13 , LOSER!
Lay of the Day: RECIF DE THAIX 3.30 Hereford , 9/2 , 3rd of 7 , WINNER! (Early Price 5/2!)
Each Way of The Day: TROPICAL BLUE 5.10 Wolverhampton , 15/2 , 2nd of 9 , PLACE WINNER! (Early Price 10/1!)
A steady day after a poor start! I was hoping Plenty of Chat would be fully tuned up for today but after being held up out the back was never put into the race and quickly weakened before pulled up 2 out! The day got back on track with the lay of the friendless Recif De Thaix who drifted several points throughout the day! Known not to be the best of jumpers he was in with a small shout before fluffing the final fence and missing out on the places! Tropical Blue was the final selection of the day and came for some late support. Off a low weight he was making smooth headway around the outside before running up the back of the eventual winner and having to check his run a furlong out! With a clear passage the selection may have given the winner more of a challenge instead we had to settle for second and another place winner! The Basher
