Go collect

I was fortunate to watch the race and worked out as expect with Earl’s Kitchen winning and Happy Shopper never in the race.  Nice. - :)

Lay of the day

The money is down I have elected to lay Happy Shopper.  I have checked both my rating systems and neither Towerform or Brimardon have this one top rated in a fairly competetive handicap chase.   Yes, everybody says it was travelling well before unseating its rider in the last race.   As I have stated many times it is all about playing the number and I have Happy Shopper down as a 6/1 shot so laying at 11/4 seems a shrewd more.  Namely if this rather was theorectically run 6 times I would happy shopper to only win one of the theorectically indentical races.  Therefore it had laid the horse 6 times I would have only lost once and therefore would be in profit.

Towerform ratings.

Exeter and 7 days to Cheltenham

A nice profit yesterday on the main site.   I am hoping the mist does not cause the abandonment of Exeter today with a strike ratio of 44% and 80% in Handicap chases.   The word on everyone lips is Happy Shopper but I have 3 rated above him so I could well oppose this one.  May ho as short as 2/1 on heavy ground over 4 miles.   Happy to take that calculated risk.

The first 2 novice hurdles should go the way of the short priced favourites so I won’t be playing.  Lady maranzi could get the better of bally bolshoi which might be worth backing the pair.    I like Naunton Brook, Sir Frosty and Admiral Peary in the chase.

There has been considerable money for Il’Athou this morning.  Forecast price 16/1 current price 5/1.  I think the value has gone there.   Haloo Baloo and Visibility maybe the each way alternatives.

The final race looks too close to call.

7 days to cheltenham and my tickets have not arrived beginning to panic.

I failed to get away early yesterday manged to work from 7am - 7.30pm.    Started late today at 9am but have been surgically attached to work ever since but albeit at home.   I am trying.   I will be ready for Cheltenham I promise.
