I had a couple of nice results on the dogs on Saturday evening, (no pun intended), so after a tricky Cheltenham I've got a healthy boost of ammunition to fire at the Irish Lincolnshire tomorrow.
I think it's not unreasonable to be backing at least two horses in a race like this.
So I'll be punting Independent Expert and Fort Vega.
The former was third in an Irish Cambrideshire, has won on heavy ground aswell, and would appear to act on any ground actually. I hate it when someone agrees with me, but that's okay, because not many do anyway, but I see the person(s) doing the Oddschecker verdict also rates it's chance.
Independent Expert has changed trainer, so you just take it on trust he'll be ready tomorrow. The price more than makes up for any doubt I have, and I'll pay my money, take the chance. Nothing new here then.
The other one I need some ammo on is Fort Vega. I have long watched out for horses who are aimed at these prestigious handicaps, either in England or Ireland, who have had the old gelding operation in the not too recent past. Doesnt always work, this method, but sometimes it does, and I've a feeling Fort Vega will run a better race tomorrow.
On form Fort Vega should be a 33s chance at a bare minimum so that's what I'll be hoping to back it at tomorrow.
