Superb.
Equality - Newcsatle 5.25 - is on the comeback trail.
In the past he's kept some high-class company and this is no group race, is it.
The handicapper has relented and I'm not fancying the joint favourites that much here. For start, Quinalt must need further this 5f, surely. The same could be said about Germanic, I dare say.
Down in the weights, 9/1 just seems like a silly price to me. It's a proper Ew bet, I think.

Most the money back
They're not taking any chances with the McManus trio in the handicap chase at 3.55 Naas, are they; the top three in the market. One might argue that it's a guessing game with two of them being their first handicap chase.
Be that as it may, I have to pay attention to my note from November over the course:
So here we are back at Naas and up to 2m 4f. There's no way I couldn't back this so he's my one for the day, whatever. Currently 11/2, I took Ew at 9/1 and 7/1 last night.

Well, not a bad run and although I'm disappointed with him being out of the money, he'll drop further in the weights and, given he ran well for a long way here, it could be they win with him soon enough.
Imo,there's a plethora of horses being prepped for champion's day - at Newcastle on Good Friday.
Good luck it's the only local race i looked at, a tricky one, I was considering Raglan road? Good luck
Unlucky Yorick
Nice run and backed Ew so small profit.
I think there's a decent handicap in this one along the line; maybe over further. This race was run at a decent pace, given the going.
He has a full brother in Cadatharia, who won over 3m and does stay that distance, as proved by his excellent 4th in May in a super-fast 3m chase. Although placed today, I thought Goraibhmaithagat was not ridden vigorously and it looked like a 3m or 3m+ handicap could be the plan.

I'm taking the overnight price on Sea Thrift (9/2) for the 2.20 at Plumpton. Seems to be a well handicapped horse who was unlucky when falling last time out in her only start over fences. The odds-on fav is up 5lbs after beating absolutely nothing in a 3 horse race and could be vulnerable. I'd be surprised if this doesn't go off a good bit shorter
You know, I've had a little look and I think a very suitable race for Goraibhmaithagat would be the National Hunt Novice Handicap Chase over 3m 6f at the festival.
In last year's race, his current rating (125) would've put him in with 10-8. If he gets an extra, say, 3Lbs for today, that might ensure he gets in, no worries.
I suppose the best way to lose is by trying to predict trainers but it's a thought, anyway.
Cheers Danny, I'll take them while they're there lol
