I've got no more cash to invest for this meeting. I'm satisfied that I invested early mostly NRNB, whatever happens happens. My meeting depends on these.
I've got no place lay or best lays, btw.
I'm putting forward my three livest each way chances instead.
Best bet of the meeting. Fakir D'oudaries, Ryanair. The prices I've obviously considered. I like his chance a lot over 2M4F. I'm just waiting for confirmation he'll run in this race, rather than the Queen Mum.
If he ran in the Queen Mum that would mess me right over. I've taken 10/1 NRNB, so won't lose anything, but he's my strongest fancy of the meeting, I need him in the Ryanair.
Next best, Goshen, Champion Hurdle.
My best each way(s), firstly in the boodles handicap, Zoffenien. Shortening all the time in the betting market and will surely start shorter on the day.
He races off a very handy mark plus he's right in form, only 1lb above his Irish mark... can go very close.
Secondly, I'm also very sweet on Fils D'oudaries in the Paddy Power Plate, for young Joseph O Brien. I've taken 20/1 on him with William Hill, but it wasn't NRNB.
I'm just hoping that the rumour about Michael O Leary pulling out all his horses for the meetimg doesn't come to fruition. As with Zoffenien, Fills Doudaries is perfectly weighted, while likely to improve more for going into a valuable handicap.
Thirdly, Grumpy Charley. I'm hoping the trainer steps him up for the Martin Pipe. He beat a much more experienced horse who I've been watching, Eamon An Cnoic, giving that horse lumps of weight over 2M, when that rival was 11 pounds in.
Grumpy Charley is also entered in the Supreme Novice Hurdle, where he could out run the odds, but realistically for the purposes of having an each way bet, I'm really wanting him in the Martin Pipe handicap hurdle. Based on the last run over 2M, where he stayed on well at the finish, he'll relish the extra four furlongs.
