Coral Regency

Ballymac Pet musnt be far enough out of season yet and Fletch needs to stay on better than last time. They would have been my first instinct. Question marks over Newyork and Patrol if you ask me. Think Newyork lack-lustre when trying a test as long as this at Wimbledon, i think it was (but not sure off the top of my head) and think Patrol beaten at odds on the other night. Cryan stamina doubts also. Whitney and Capel not reliable. Could leave the way clear for a nice-price winner. Maybe my old fav Swabys Princess has outside claims with Ballyard Buddy, thats got easy heat but has been very expensive for me in the past. Will have a study soon and see if i can come up with something

capoley ash a very interesting runner with guaranteed stamina to take in 3 stiff 6 bend runs in 12 days couple of recent hove trials were excellent and suggest change of kennel hasnt had a negative effect should have no trouble qualifying from that heat and looks a massive runner for outright honours

before the draw i fancied Fletch and also Skywalkershearer on his home track following his break to get over niggles and v good recent Wdon performance, I still do albeit they are in the same heat I think both will qualify..

strange how no prices anywhere, and it's only 2 days away

Prices have been up for about 5 days. Capoley 6/1 fav.

up to 3weeks ago thought airforce newyork would be a all in bet for me but been put off with the dog it wont come off the rails still going to bet it tho

Really fancy capo ash but I had 12 s in mind think I can let @8 go

I be sick if i never had a bet on newyork took 8/1 just watched all his Irish card 3 six bend races on the bonce might help?
going to back Farley Zack thought he need that run at wimbo 50/1 about way to big but might wait for better!

airforce newyork for me, hove looks perfect for the it.

certainly very competitive, im a big fan of airforce newyork, but im even bigger fan of capoley ash and think his 6 bend speed is underated, id fancy him to be infront of airforce new york and dont fancy the latter catching it. nice bet capoley ash for me.

I've taken some of the 50s about Portavoe Lass

^ and now 33's best price, they are running scared from you pf

They'd have been better off pushing her out

Going to take some 16s about Ballymac Cryan too

ive backed :

airforce newyork
romeo patrol
and a few quid e/w on farloe elecktra ( impressed me last week at monmore, but has to improve again to feature in this comp )

The size of PF's maximum bets would move mountains!

if only

Not what you told me PF. You said you cant usually get on as much as you like! . I've still not looked yet, been busy. Hope youve all left me with some fair prices to shoot at!

Just because i can't get what i want on with certain firms does not mean i bet in telephone numbers. Not sure if you've noticed but some of the restrictions with certain firms are pathetic.

Believe you struggle sometimes PF, but i'm only a £50 max bet man and never been declined a bet.

Anyway, dont you fancy Trend for Regency. Been a shade disappointing for my money. Lumped on for Golden Jacket, fancied her very strongly but she let me down. See she's up against my Swabys Princess in the first round.

What are peoples thought on ash looking at his form not won a six bend race since last summer,
All at sheffield, know he's a tool over 8 bends but hes not  going to get a nice lead with speedie types,
I think this year regency very hot! Why westmead not running?, bowtime on under card no stay the trip at hove?

She has a chance at her best i think but even at the price was happy to look elsewhere, considered Capoley Ash but at the price and with heat 4 looking hot enough decided against him too.

Went for Ballymac Cryan as off a level start i think he could go well clear with his early and middle over this trip and he may just last home a bit like He Went Whoosh the other year.

Portavoe Lass just looked overpriced to me, only just finished behind Balmi Blue and Blonde Fletch and the price discrepency between those runners looked too big.

Airforce NY is obviosuly very fast but that tendency to only want to pass on the rails means its going to have to hit the bends and the right time or its a case of cover your eyes and hope.
I do like Romeo Patrol- not sure what happened on sunday but prior to that its gone consistently well, with decent speed round bends 1-2 and stays well- not something you could say of Ballymac cryan on last weeks evidence

Blonde Fletch will stay better when fitter. When the dog is well he seems to trap fast, so judging by last week he's bouncing.

Would chance Swift Signal at bigger prices ew to sneak thro to the final and benefit from trouble- although its pretty trouble prone itself!

29.90 over 515 ain't too shabby for capoley , he stays ,he's fresh , it's a tricky heat but think he will cope

Big plugs for Newyork but got my doubts, sorry to his army of supporters. That race he flopped in was only 605m Pboro and unless he's raced over further in Ireland, that's as far as he's gone? As well as rails problem, possible stamina doubts, as with Cryan. Hear what youre saying PF but beaten by Swabys on merit recently and i've had a bit of her at 25/1 each-way. Yes, would consider Portavoe and Signal, both each-way, at the prices.

Capoley and Capel may just lack the speed to win a Regency in my book. Looking at 2 others to go with Swabys against the field but waiting for slightly bigger prices. Will post later, not that anyone will be holding their breath!

has run 730 yards at waterford, btn a short head

Airforce Newyork has ran over 750y

Whats that in meters please. Is it as far as 695m and did it win?

Check the IGB site and stop being so lazy, i'm not doing the work for ya

My converter says 750yds, 686m

it came 2nd woody, i dont think the ditance will be a problem

gents - capoley ash did a 41.90 trial over the wimbledon st leger distance before the juvenile night at wimbledon, also second in the st leger itself, i genuinely think the dogs early is underated, i was there juvenile he blasted out the boxes, did 28.79 first lap and left a big impression on me, the stiffest 6 bend course and distance about, in my eyes, honestly think he is a huge huge runner here.

is very very competitive, but i fancy balmi blue strong! 16's and 14's e/w

jaytee harry is intresting

be lucky

Farley Zack 33/1 £10ew
Farloe elektra 50/1 £10ew
Nestor penny's on here 60,54 £3ew 40/1
Newyork £60 8/1only wanted more

Just watching hove last week came across ELEKTRA RACE AT MONMORE
Run well went to bend in a bench showed bottle around the 3rd was going away after the line!

Nestor give it one more chance didnt trap that well went wide round the second only got beat 4l last week may fair better with second look!

gl all nice looking card tomorrow can't wait

y dont u back a few more fattie then the whole field will be covered

ive backed farloe elecktra aswell fattie, mentioned it on here, impressed me last week.

Mr hill not breaking the bank am I ?
Think I would of only played one missed Zachary price at 50/1 365 also could not have my full steak on newyork!
Thank you very much

Ive backed Express Trend at 20/1 and a few quid e/w on Fabulous Shanty at 100/1 which I reckon is too big for a dog that runs Hove consistently well and may keep sneaking through.

Well, that'll teach me to dither. While waiting for others to price up and Fletch to get a shade bigger, he was clipped in! Had to have some of the 7s now. Logic now being, if he continues to break like last time and expected to stay on slightly better, will be hard to beat. The end-time was there too, imo. Yes Danny, respect Balmi but he must have been 33s in running against Fletch last time and only got up coz Fletch ran out of steam.

My other play, apart from Swabys, is Romeo Patrol. He's a sub 35sec 575m Romford and 39.08sec dog 660m Sheffield. Obviously, he is very fast and 12/1 seems a silly price to me.

Good luck everyone!

Portavoe Lass was too big at 50's, coming forward out of season the timing of this competition should see her progress well for fitness,

bit of a limp run in behind Balmi and Fletch for me, but i expect her to come on from that tonight and remember when she idled for 8 bends at romford infront of a strong field, she has talent but a bit of a brain to go with it...

woodmanchester, i cant have fletch, but wish u good luck! i think balmi blue is gona be a machine over these longer distances, yes fletch did tire but balmi ran well done a nice time (i was there last week, watching my dog express destiny) i was impressed with balmi blue, more to come, still its all opinions mate, be lucky

i also like portavoe lass 4/1 is nice! and bower hawk 7/1 is too big!

Amazed you think Bb will beat BF again he did not see which way BF went early on powered away from it, but BF was not fit

And I backed BB at 4 tonight as well

Happy enough but would be grateful if the track was not slow on semi final night

happy with that, fancy romeo patrol in the last heat

thought farloe elecktra ran very well tonight, be interesting to see how its priced up.

Good call and his first race for 5 weeks sure to improve, Sallis seems to be doing it right

Draw couldnt have worked out better with my 3 all avoiding each other. Good card supporting semis too. We got the likes of Farloe Tango, Taylors Cruise, Silverview Perky and Jimmy Lollie due to run!

woody .. where have you been ? on holiday ?

Express is big at 8s, fancy to win semi, then will be about 4s biggest

Sticking with my 3. Fletch is likely to keep on improving, although Capoley will be bidding to pounce late.

Cant see how Trend is 6/4 and 9/2 Swabys when it was 9/4 and 5/2 last time. With this totally revised draw anything could happen and they say an inside runner breaks better wearing stripes, with an earlier sight of the hare.

Seen nothing to put me off Patrol, although its a hot race.

A couple of aces compete in the 2 races preceeding the Regency semis, namely Farloe Tango and Taylors Cruise, maybe about evens apiece. Tango should improve for his trial and 515m looks just his cup of tea, while i was at Coventry Sunday to see Cruise dispose of Longwood Fantasy in game style, he certainly did nothing wrong and the hat-trick's on.

Oh Irish, laptop was just being serviced, that's all

watched too much johnny vaughan woody? virus or two?

Any chance of the track running normal tonight or will it be way back again?? Looking at the card it seems it's been this way for a while now

Weather forecast is for storms, so it's likely to be slow again

Seen 6/1 Swabys now. Would still rather have that each-way than 6/4 Trend, but hey-ho.

It was just going slow Addy. Engineer didnt mention any virus just said my security needed changing and upgrading. Could have soldiered on but thought i'd take the chance to get it seen to while it was quiet on the racing front during the Jubilee. Seems fine now anyway

Anyway Addy, how dya rate your chances Monday? Third Intention useful and you never know what Melanie will do. You got stripes seeing as youre a middle seed in a field of railers and you must be hopeful of at least qualifying? Allsop has a couple in there and the one dog got lots of experience. If showing her 4 bend speed though, Molly should be away and gone, shouldnt she?

8.34 farloe elektra, missed the break last week and ran a stormer, taken the 11/2 with corals.

good luck all

woody as an owner im never bullish, i always take a step back and underate my dogs, but looking at the draw i would really hope we do at least qualify. 6 isnt a problem if the 5 is a railer, she ran straight enough out of 6 on derby final night.

also think the competition as a whole doesnt look as strong as in previous years - no disrespect intended - and on the face of it there doesnt seem a ballymac pet, fleeting image or the like in there that would give her a walloping, the big name dogs dont seem to truely want this distance, might be wrong, and i think its very open.

she trials at monmore today i believe so we'll see how she takes to the track.

Addy I would have west mal a long way in front of fleet img and Bally pet best 6  bender in the country for me I hope bookies take the same view gl hope she bolts out for you

ballyard buddy @ 8/1 is an insult done a ton of running in the heats and will be better suited to the middle draw well overpriced imo

He ran a blinder in the heats, i considered adding him O/R but with the draw left it alone. Good Luck with him tonight

agree zola, opposed it last round but was very impressed with it in defeat, the rumour of quirkiness actually makes me like it more

rumour?!

i am mortally offended

haha you've been on holiday, automatic relegation until back in full time graft

who needs graft,go in lads earlier,theres a lovely little redhead in there,shes on top of one of the tables struggling like feck, sticking euro 2012 flags to the ceiling.

Theres an old guy sat behind the jump,i score MASSIVE points asking is has "has he no legs and really is that short?" so thats why miss redhead 2012 is in danger of breaking a nail using the furniture as a set of stepladders.

He informs us of his recent "knee operation" whilst i advice a further operation is required to extract the chair hes sat on from his anus,again HUGE points.

Time to take it the hoop,miss redhead 2012 is trying unsuccessfully to stick drawing pins into the false ceiling and then has a brainwave that selotape is the answer,up steps paddy,"down of the chair love,you'll break your neck,and theres enough cripples working here already" whilst cocking a snook at mr tired.

Lift a ceiling tile,jam the flag in,drop it,its held perfectly.

Paddys like a cat,hopping stools,tables, shelfs,the shop has more colours than a rastas tobacco tin by the time im finished,hope down in time for the last at sheff,2 mins study of the form,quick £10 sfc 1x2 boom,draw the £170,miss redhead says"i was gonna take you to lunch for the help but you can take me to dinner now",living the dream,its how the pro punter rolls.

what a player

...finally he wakes up on the sofa at 3:30 in the morning covered in curry boxes and **** ends, the only redhead in sight is the one dangling out of his flies, barely visible, looking somewhat sorry for itself. and the pro punter rolls... over. and tries to find that most excellent dream again.

what a clumsy fecker trapped well enough to turn in a posi and then found its own trouble

Ports lass waited

yep brakes on, poor performance

Like rab chance in two

Not so good. Fletch pipped for a qualifying place on the line and Swabys Princess below par. Eggs left in one basket now with Patrol. Still more than trebles my total stakes though. Did say 12/1 was a silly price.

Cruise very disappointing. Will surely struggle in a hot race Tuesday night. Would be surprised if he confirms Coventry form with Longwood Fantasy anyway.

Think its time to retire Lollie, but Tony impressive.

Sure Perky would have done better in the Derby on current form
