Any view on today's two races? Fav looks vulnerable in the Fakenham race - question over the distance and a poor show last time.

 

[Irish Stamp]

Fairly hefty drop in grade for him though here Benny - has 5lb in hand of CH & 6 of MW.

Would be avoiding this race as a betting contest unless getting 6/4 the fav or 11/2 the other two.

 

[BennyB]

Thanks Martin. I took 9/2 Close House for a small interest earlier.

With Inch Rock out, I am tempted by Honourable Exit in the Exeter race. Any thoughts on how his p2p form stacks up against Forrardon Xmoor?

15/8 now. This looks dirty.

 

[BennyB]

Right to oppose it but looks like I chose the wrong horse to do it with.

That was rancid.

Yup, 'fraid they have to eat too

FE 3lb better on figures, saw FE win at Ampton earlier in the season and feeling here is he's best with cut in the ground and both wins this season have come with cut in the ground. Rained all day at Ampton so would say it was softer than G/S that day and disappointed on better ground since. This isn't a great race though in all honesty.

 

[BennyB]

Thanks Martin - 3lb not insurmountable if Forrardon doesn't go on the ground. At the prices I'll chance Honourable Exit.

Think Mr Satco could go well at Warwick despite being the outsider of the four

With a slightly less exaggerated front running ride that could've won.

 

[2017diary]

U/L, ran very well. Just too much juice in ground?

 

[BennyB]

Probably - ideally would have liked the rain to stay away

 

[trefflich]

Backed w/o fav...thanks for the heads up Benny

 

[BennyB]

Anything in tonight's hunter chase Martin? Wouldn't be rushing to back the fav at evens and considering whether Molten Brown might be a bet each way.

Molten Brown 4th and the fav wins. I'll leave the hunter chases to Martin I think.

In a rush so Queen Olivia, Curraigflemens & Excitable Island - perm the heck out of those three.

Thanks Martin. £50 trixie and some larger singles to give me a £6k birthday present

 

[Part time punter]

Good luck Benny, nothing like putting a bit of pressure on poor Martin!

 

[BennyB]

Martin can handle it. Win or lose today I've made a handsome lifetime profit backing his stuff, so one day's results matter very little.

 

[Dave G]

Bloody hell. Missed the first one!1 Well done Martin as always.

 

[BennyB]

Please don`t let the trolls near this thread!

 

[swedish chef]

Thanks Martin - Two out of three aint bad
