gigilo I can't find any info on Benbati am I spelling it correctly?

No, it's Benbatl.

The times recorded by Benbatl and Dream Castle on Sunday were very good if compared solely with that recorded by Zoravan over the same C&D but there was another race on the straight course, the 6f sprint handicap won by Wentworth Falls. Comparison with the winner's time in that tempers enthusiasm slightly for the Godolphin horses. My figures are 94 for Benbatl and 96 for Dream Castle - both very decent figures for horses making their debuts and they're promising horses, no doubt, but not off the scale.
 
They were nothing like horses like offthegarters but then they looked like they couldv'r run another 5ls quicker with so much improvement to come,i certainly wouldn't back them ante post for anything as they still have a lot to prove yet with the irish horses..

4.55 Southwell

Henley maybe wort a small bet has been running reasonably consistent for tracey waggott made debut for her over tomorrows c/d when running 5th to sleepy blue ocean after an 8 month break,similarly this season will be 5 months break.Generally has been running in better races than this,if the horse had more prioven on the surface then would probably only be around the 6/1 mark,this is first time run in this grade and trainers already had 3 wunners tjis season from just 17 runners,betting will be interesting from a small stable as most of the form in this race is pretty weak,dusty blue looks the obvious alternastive..

Henley 12/1 365/ppower


11/1 betbright 10/1 skybet/totesport/betfred

10/1 corals/10bet

16/1/lads/ corals/boyles..

Drifting like a barge maybe just out for the run,still worth noting though..

Almost another touch,got 16s and 18s so many getting touched off,by one that was unbackable as well looks natural on the surface as well,nice sstart to week even though only place,thought it would open around 7/1 last night so was one bonus with bigger prices,running iton one chucked in on old form in Ireland..

Have been in brilliant form,just can't get any luck last 7 bets 40/1,16/1,16/1,14/1 and 25/1 all been touched off I even put the 16/1 back up on todays bet couldn't believe it wouldn't be backed,can't compensate for the winner...
 
2.10 Wolves

Have been out for a house viewing tonight so got distracted only had one thing marked off temple road was apparently 7/1 pushed out with books when I went out now only 6/1 11/2 will probably go off around the 4/1 mark so still maybe a free bet ion there,last run at wolves over this c/d was beaten 1 1/4ls by powerful draem tomorrows favourite and bahango in second 3/4l behind that.Tomorrow has 12 pound turnaround with powful dream and 6 poun5/4/4d turnaround with baghango.A 9yr old he still retains ability and has run been running consistently well all season beinf 2/5/4/4 in all c/d runs recently running on,again is going to be therabouts and there is a possibility could go off fav..It's nothing special but at least looks like shortening..

13/2 hills/365 7.6 -7.8 on betfair very strange betting bahango being backed as though going to get soft lead from the 1 draw..will hinder temple roads chances if that's the case..


That stunk driftd out to 12s on betfair and as I said bahango ended up making all and powerful dream his the frame,the worst race temple roads run there all season and in a weaker grade....someone was very confident..at those prices.

Some shout! Very very unlucky. As Swedish chef said, with the 7lbs claim, the Irish horse was running off a very favourable mark of 52. I see he had won in Dundalk last year off 77. Nice place money anyway so keeps the bookies at bay. Thanks for sharing :)
 
5.25 s55 Southwell

Monsieur jimmy hasn'T had much luck with the draws this season beaten 2nd in this grade going off 9/2 fav and then last time out drawn widest in better grade than this eventually switching to inside and was a little better than form suggests.Danny tudhope rides,has won on him both last two wins he's well handicapped off 60 but again been very unlucky with the draw so worth a small bet,if theY go quick enough then he may just get away with it,last season reached a rating of 68 he should be winning a race in near future.

Monsieur jimmy 8/1 betbright 15/2 ppower/skybet/victor 7/1 365/sportsbook/hills

1.55 Southwell

Trust me boy has dropped to a mark off 55 last time ran off this mark won by 7ls,he invariably used to lead ios races but has been out of touch
since returning to the aw although last time out ran ok in slighlty better grade frrom the 13 draw couldn't get to the front.He then stayed on under hand's heels.Drawn 5 tomorrow with jock franny Norton has won on him the last twice,has lots of runs but on this track is 3/24 pretty good for a very low grade horse,his usual front running style and the fact he goes on the track when it's riding desperately slow as it has last few meetings could be a positive.
If he gets out on terms at worst he should trade pretty low,wouldn't surprise me if he blasted his way out, as of yet there's no worthwhile track form in the race prince of time has run ok and equally claedonian gold if going on the surface,sire does ok these three copuld fight out the finish.

Trust me by 5/1 365/victor..

11/2 365 I'm sure its starting price will be reflected in it's break from the stalls...7.4 betfair..

15/2 9.6 betfair sporting bet taking a very similar walk top temple road yesterday...interesting ride coming up..

No I did the pick e/way but didn't read it full - so right now I'm punching myself in the face - Well done Giggsy!!
 
Very rarely say three will fight out a finish unless quietly confident I know you and a few others usually follow those,bit disappointed in the divis to be honest but in saying that the 2nd and 3rd drifted sort of ends my bad luck...

Sparkalot
Desert rain

Quite a decent time by simon dow 3yr old and being only 5/2 to beat an sbs horse then obviously decent on second ever run,1m11.60 for winner think the track maybe a little quicker than usual but still martk will be interesting and with small stable more chance of decent pruce in handicaps,this maiden was actually .16 quicker thah the 80 rated family family fortunes winning the 3yr old handicap off 80 yet another improver so the dow hprses mark will be interesting.Anything around the 80 mark,you may get some nice value,the sbs was debut run so could potentially be even better and a run back here in a maiden you could be looking an 8/11 shot that realistically would be a 1/3 shot.Two interesting runners if they stay on the aw...

Raffle king

Forgot to mention rasffle king,he was having 3rd run in this race and looked to be finishing with a fair bit in the tank even though beaten 6 1/4ls
he could turn out to be well handicapped hadn't run since may last season so was a bit of an eyecatcher.Presuming the dow horse doesn't get much more than a mark of 80 hopefully the channon horse will get rated in mid 60,can't realy see why he should be higher so i'd be keeping an eye on this ones mark as well.I wouldn't be afraid to back him in a maiden either,especially with a step up to 7fs tonights insignificant looking maiden could be very infiormative and might be some nice bets..

Olympic duel

It maybe worth just being slightly cautious of the horses mentioned tonight as the track looking at the overall times seemed to be pretty quick and was borne out by thisrace for horses ared upto 65 one of the quickest races on the card won by 54 rated Olympic duel after a 6 month lay off,the fact the thoroughly exposed 8yrold tidals baby was 2nd makes the form look a little bit conspicupous.Still hard to knock winner run though,was under pressure 2fs oput and the time of 1m24.89 is still very good fir horse just rated 54 even if track was riding quick,there could be more to come with just 8 lifetime runs,hard to know what handicapper will do a rise of 60 would be able to actually drop in class,he might get away with 6 pound but if not will still be in this grade.He's worth following for a few runs,any improvement on this run mau knock up a sequence...

Just in case you've missed it, gigilo, Orderofthegarter runs at Leopardstown this afternoon. Heffernan rides him with Moore on Taj Mahal. It's a really excellent card with plenty of Classic prospects on show in the Ballysax and the two Guineas trials.

Been twiddling my thumbs for last 24 hours as aw cards have been dire,have backed it at 15/8 7/4 been given a rating of 108 which I didn't even know which looks out if it had as much in hand as the win,not really the sort of races I bet in with so many unexposed especially with moore riding the other,interesting race anyway..Think if it ran a poor race,you would only be able to back it on desperate ground in future as the ground was heavy when it won and today just just good/yielding..

Some nice looking horses to follow today although both from O'Brien stable you had Alphabet winning the maiden in a canter was only .13 slower than the 6f handicap fo horsesrated upto 100 so Alphabet conservatively the way it wn looks a 95 horse and the last winner Orderofthegarters in the maiden just run .52 quicker than the lincoln winner rated 105 could be absoplutely anything and again you could be looking at conservative 115:ninja::ninja: horse already..Might not be around during turf season so thought i'd mention them,cracking way to start the turf season maybe worth looking at some ante post bets for the latter..
