Thanks marb; might have missed that one [I back all of Adams horses, especially if he's riding for Kirby]...
Have backed Vivas 25/1 generally in the handicap hurdle at Ascot tomorrow. Managed a well beaten 5th behind Jenkins over this CD lto. Was badly hampered in the process and dropped back to last which wasn't a good place to be. It was also notable that the first 4 home on that occasion were widest on the course throughout and despite being hampered he's done the best of anything that raced nearer the inside. A clear run tomorrow could see him run well in a race that doesn't look as strong and he's also tried in first time pieces.
Haydock 4.15 Donnas Diamond 20/1 StanJames - a good 4th over c/d/& going l/t/o in a better race - now 4lb lower. However hasn't raced for over a year.
DING DONG just had to back it again today - just become my favourite horse
Court Minstrel is top-rated on my own figures so I really need to back him at 25/1 although there is one in the race I've also backed as a strong possibility to improve past him.

Tbh mate I wanted to take on Agrapart as did Des and I tried to combi fc's against him and felt a little hard done to as Boite fell and No Hasslehoff fluffed the last and those were the 2 I'd used with Donna's. Owes me nothing as it saved my day last time you put it up and glad you've kept the faith today ..what a run !
7.15 Kempton Yeah Baby Yeah - 20/1 with Corals, Laddies and Paddys.
Just chancing this one with a decent draw and the first time tongue tie. May need a class drop before it shows best but off a light weight for Josie Gordon I think there are worse bets on the card.

Spes nostra in the lucky last at wolves seems a reasonable bet. Course distance winner who likes it around here. Fanning up. 50-1 is tempting for such an appropriately named horse.
Might as well sneak this one in here before the price goes...
As mentioned in its own thread, I've backed Theatre Territory (ew) 20/1 for Saturday's RUK Chase at Kempton.
I can't see the price lasting long after today. Then again, I thought Irish Roe would be as low as 7/2 for the Betfair
I really think that race against Mister Whitaker might be very hot form, possibly better than handicap form. The worry is that
a) the race might leave a mark (in which case she might not run)
b) she is a mare and Irish Roe reminded me of the dangers in backing mares in open company, although it was open company last time.
Mentioned this on the other thread, DO. It could be a red letter day for you tomorrow, with Theatre Territory. Good luck! I'm more than happy to join in at current prices.Not all bookies are priced up this morning but I see Theatre Territory is best-priced 12/1 and as low as 9/1.
Two positives, then: I look like getting a run for my money and I look like beating the price.
Well, it's a start :lol:
