Laying a horse you really fancy might do your mood no good at all.
Dr Tommy, best price currently 4/1, looks a possibility in the last at Clonmel this evening. He has respectable bumper form this summer. He finished in front of Maller Tree at Killarney, a horse that has won since and had been in the frame several times beforehand. Dr Tommy has himself won since, at Kilbeggan, in a race where he beat a wandering Flycorn. That horse too has consistent form in bumpers.
The horses ahead of him in the betting are opposable. In A Nutshell has been second four times in a row and has been a short-priced favourite for the last three of them. I doubt he will enjoy tonight's faster ground either.
Peaks Of Fire ran only a few days ago at Downpatrick, and the RPRs for that race look to be about 10lbs too high. Even if I'm wrong about that, there is still a good chance that Dr Tommy is better than him.
The one that I'd be afraid of is Prince Chapparal. Maybe they've been able to improve his jumping during his time off since May. If he could fully translate his flat ability to hurdling he would be better than these, and he also has the advantage of being a year older than the rest of the field.
I have put the pair into a small reverse forecast just in case, but provided he jumps ok Dr Tommy has a good chance of taking this.
Neither In A Nutshell or Prince Chapparal have been awarded handicap marks yet despite having three or more runs over hurdles, Peaks of Fire is rated 110. Dr Tommy would not need to be anything special to beat that rating. I don't think Flynn's will be primed as per my first line and Byrne's yoke is pretty average too. By default I will follow you in and destroy any chance Dr Tommy has of winning the race.![]()
Good ,that's my excuse sorted if I need one.
What exactly did you do to that horse? It stutters into the early jumps, tries to run out at the bend past the stands, gets lonely in front but surrenders when passed... A bit of a thinker.
I could stop a revolution at the moment!
Colonel Gadaffi's on line one btw OTB
Only one horse for me today, The Gosden horse in the 4.40. Prices are all gone but fully expected to get it done.
