Just going through the Racing Post Irish Flat season pullout. I'd advise anyone who has it to take note of Gavin Lynch's "Dark Dozen to keep onside". He's an ubber judge of the formbook and I'd have a lot of respect for his opinion. I'd expect him to have plent if winners in that list.

I see that - East of Tara was slightly disappointing the last day but may jsut prefer the polytrack. Knockgraffon Lad is usually very very free so being fresh might be one to watch without getting involved - it looks a very decent race in any case. Ring Them Bells is entered for Friday but will be about 12lbs wrong at the weights so I doubt if they will spoil the good work and Fran couldn't do the weight anyway.

Are you trying to put us the scent of Ahaaly - if she's anything close to the 11/8 tissue then its a lump job.
 
Her chance is obvious! I might have to text del boy to say its fancied but the rest of you can see the woods from the trees.

Going through the Leopardstown entries. CAPRELLA in the 5.25 looks a really fascinating runner. The form of her only run, a maiden win, amounts to nothing but she ran green and had loads in hand. It's worth looking at the run on ATR if she's declared. She could be put in a big price overnight.

15/2 into 11/4 on those ******* overnight prices. Hardly a bean taken no doubt. These overnight prices that some of you enjoy manipulating for profit cost actual punters fortunes.
 
Anyone have any views on whether the stewards took the correct action in the maiden in Gowran last night? 7.40 I think, absolute skullduggery in my book. Must have been greening up while the enquiry went on. Yes, I was on the Oxx horse too.

I was on. Initial reaction was they will throw him out. When. I saw the replay Murtagh having his whip in him left hand made me change my mind. I laid off a bit at 1.8 on Betfair. Best horse was second by a long way.
 
OnTheBridle has been waiting eagerly for the "aeroplane" to run since Misque talked it up on the Ballydoyle thread. Can't believe I did not go through the whole card last night. Costly.
 
Indeed. A ridiculous run from a debutant. He did the last 3f in a time only 0.1 seconds slower than Pivotal Rock in the proceeding handicap despite getting to the 3f marker some 8.5 secs sooner. He should be second favourite for the race really.
