Good Morning;

Two lays beat yesterday, a nice place as well to boot. This recorded a cool 3.5pts profit on the day after the disappointment of Collateral Damage.

Today's racing brings another solid lay to my mind.

Pampas Cat (2.45)couldn't have been more impressive on debut at Newmarket over 10f at the Craven meeting and the way he pulled clear of subsequent winners Daraahem and Checklow certainly caught the eye. However Seeking the Golds do seem to have outstanding records fresh and given the sp of 20/1 its fair to say this horse probably hadn't shown alot on the Newmarket gallops. Chester is not the sort of course for inexperienced horses and this horse also has to prove his worth against worthy group opposition. Doctor Fremantle and Feared In Flight set a high standard and whilst the Gosden yard have a good form line through both with Bronze Cannon and Centennial, I just feel this horse is too short at 100/30 and I have noticed on many occasions horses that run well or win on debut at big prices rarely follow up next time and make good lays. Ravens Pass is of course an exception to this ruling but on whole its a good stat to follow.

I will be laying him for 2pts.

I couldn't find a 5pt banker lay today but I have stumbled upon another 1pt win and 3pt place bet at juicy odds.

Grand Vizier of Christian Walls runs in the 7.10 at Great Leighs and he is a tasty 8/1. The 4yo Desert Style gelding is an all weather performer through and through and his half brother Came Back has won quite a few all weather contests already this season. Grand Vizier is 2 from 2 on the all weather and the talented 5lb claimer Jack Mitchell rides today. he won off 73 last July and whilst he is now rated 76 on the all weather, Mitchell's claim means he runs off 71. Christian Wall's horses are in fine form at present and its getting noticed that horses who handle Wolverhampton are going best here. This bodes well for this 2 time Wolverhampton winner and the 8f here instead of the 8.5 at Wolves looks ideal. The yards horses always improve for their 4yo season and I fancy this one to cause an upset this evening.

Back to Chester my banker bet today comes in the shape of MULTIDIMENSIONAL (2.15) and he wasn't 100% ready when 4th to Phoenix Tower last time at Newmarket over 9f. This extra furlong will suit and he gives every impressin he will stay the longer trip today. The yard is in good form and the faster surface will really suit. His work at home has been impressive of late and he rates a confident selection here with a fitness edge on course specialist Maraahel.

Todays Bets

2pts Lay Pampas Cat @ 4.5

1pt Win & 3pts Place Grand Vizier @ 9.4 & 2.4
10pts Win Multidimensional @ 2.72

Good Luck
Chris
 
Good luck, Chris. I agree with you about Pampas Cat but I just wonder how Multidimensional will cope with Chester.
 
I think Maraahel should be favorite in the group 3.

Senatorial catches the ye in the 2yo race.
 
I backed Maraahel too when he went out to 3.75, he so nearly pulled it off
Thanks for the tip on Grand Vizir, I'm off to Great Leighs when Ch 4 shuts off racing so could use a winner!
 
Well thank god for Betfair, had another £5 ew on him at the off at 24 and 4.3 a place

But took just over 8/1 earlier.

That mitchell can sure as hell ride.

3.8pts profit on day, making it 7.3pts profit in 2 days.

Think I will keep this going each day if people want me to, can't guarantee there will always be 16/1 winners however.
 
Just cut out the 10pt losers then :P

Seriously, good work. Always nice to see effort (in writing them up) rewarded.
 
F**cking brilliant!!
I had £100 at 24 and a further £70 between 23 and 20 having only just got back in time.
I had been hoping to go but had to bail out.
Chris, you are a marvel.

the place money was a good pickup as well :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:
 
Great stuff Chris, GV may have started 16/1 but he was quite a bit bigger on the Tote! I didn't have a huge bet but made a tidy profit, then invested a tenner of that on Tapas Lad at 4/1 so I was a very happy bunny!

There were lots more people there tonight as they had the whole right hand side of the stand open downstairs, quite the party atmosphere esp given the great weather. I've got forumites a free invite for next Tuesday, see the Great Leighs thread norty
