What are you backing Today? Part 2

In a complete departure from any degree of sanity, and therefore not recommended for anything apart from miniscule staking, I have gone for the following “Caribbean” wager today in an attempt to beat the rain and the bleak outlook ahead.

3.10 Huntingdon Tyddesley Wood 33/1
Has a degree of form over 2m4ish whilst up in grade today.

4.02 Thurles Justicialism 33/1
New trainer and headgear. Only beaten 3 lengths over similar trip 9 months ago off a 10lb higher mark.

8.00 Southwell Landlord to the stars 10/1
Won a 7f handicap at Wolves in November and second there last month. Off the same mark here today.

EW patent.

I’ll get my coat…..hopefully a summer one but more likely to be a sou wester…

Interesting choice, has been class 5 for a while and now class 6 & seems to have done better the last 2 races when dropped down to 7 furlongs. King of York might be a big threat.

Get's the gigilo stamp of approval too. The bonus is that it's his only selection in the race.

It was worth a go on breeding but really Flemenstide's jumping was extremely novicey.
Officer tipped up so God knows what would have happened if he'd stayed on his feet.
 
Don't see a thread for the Reynoldstown tomorrow and there might not be enough interest to start a discrete one but I've taken 10/1 the outsider of the four, Crest Of Fortune.

Even money about the favourite might prove to be generous but the 10s about Crest Of Fortune looks wrong too. I’ve taken a bit of that as I can see the price halving as pundits highlight this over the course the day. I would be even more interested in 5/1 without the even-money favourite but only one firm is pricing that market up and they’re only 3/1. More might come online by the morning but, of course, if there is a move for COF today then the 5s will never happen :(

I don't fancy Crest Of Fortune on ratings at all but the trial race stats are interesting and make it probs worth a punt if you can get over 10s
