Thanks G.B mh Been up to my Dad's, he's done five 10p Lucky 15's. Keeps him happy and gives me Mum some peace for a few hours, He just forgets how to change back to his Dodgy Stick sometimes when he put's Nat King Cole on when he has five minutes between races, has me Mum up the wall..
Kempton 5-15 Excel Power 15/2 BOG Archie Watson runs two in this Class 2 0-105 and my fancy is the Luke Morris ridden EXCEL POWER who has the decent record of eight wins from 22 runs from 6f to 1m including five wins on the AW and three Class 2 handicaps with one at Haydock on GF. Still has loads of improvement left in his 5yr old legs and with the last success quite comfortable by over 2L off a mark of 97, today's rating of 103 should hold no fears and also won first time out last April and looks to be best on turning tracks after not taking to Newcastle's straight course at the start of the year. |

Horse wouldn't enter stalls and me Dad had five winners, one on each bet. It's like throwing a fiver out of the bedroom window most days. I can see how bookies make a fortune but in life you have to some enjoyment, there are no pockets in shrouds.

Dundalk 7-45 Rocky Dreams 15/2 BOG The 5yr old ROCKY DREAMS is owned and trained by James McAuley and is a winner of seven races from 29 runs all on the AW from 6f to 7f. He won a claimer here 11 days ago the same race he won the year before and is on the same mark now as his only handicap victory over today's 6f last September. That win last April brought up a double of claiming successes but the treble was thwarted by probably the rating of 78 and on this lower mark of 74 Billy Lee should hopefully hold him up in midfield and then keep on strongly to lead towards finish.. |

Kempton 7-00 Starlight Nation 8/1 BOG
Something tells me that the 3yr old gelding STARLIGHT NATION who is owed by Cilla Black will relish this step up to a mile, Dam won over a mile and 1m2f and it's jockey John Fahy's only ride.. |
|
By:
Starlight Nation ran well picking up past beaten horses and looked like he was going to do the Biz only to be eased when chance had gone.
Need to stop doing these tough races though, no more 4/1 The Field races. That's Another Rule in my head, even a month ago I would of done Four Today, all have lost. I will get there one day, maybe.. Bank now £3618 Profit £618 20.6pts Profit |

Chelmsford City 7-30 Mcqueen 4/1 BOG
Has been running really well and been favourite the past two times, looks ready made for 7f after not quite cutting it over a mile and is Ray Dawson's only ride.. Have a great Aintree.. |

Southwell 6-00 H Key Lails 11/4 BOG
Travelled really well last month over an extended mile and looked a real horse to follow up with today's Jockey Sam James looking through his legs 2f out like he was riding in a 3m chase. Wandered a touch in the closing stages and drops down to what looks like a perfect distance of a mile tonight 4lbs higher.. |

Dundalk 5-10 Itll Do My Day 7/1 BOG
Career best was here last February off 77 for a 7lb claimer and looks to be coming into form after good second to a real in-form rival at Bellewstown just over a week ago. Gary Carroll retains the ride who won on this grey 4yr old as a maiden and he is now over a stone less than his best performance. |

Both ran well with HKL getting beat by a head..

The Joseph Parr trained beautiful grey filly TOPO CHICO finds herself 0-9 but with a bit more luck she could of been seeking her fourth win today. Not beaten far again over 7f when only headed near the finish 6 days ago when beaten a neck and runs today off the same mark with Harry Burns claiming 3lbs

Thought i'd just pop in to wish you luck Billy as looks like the profit is decreasing, i'll cheer you up 1-6.

Successful three times over tonight's 2m and dual CD winner, returning jockey William Carson is also a winner twice including here and showed there is still some life in these 6yr old legs when just held by a neck at the end of March.

Wolverhampton 6-25 Aihawawi 9/4 BOG David O'Meara's colt AIHAWAWI was just run out of it and was a length in front of the in-form 5/6 favourite Bella Kopella 12 days ago for tonight's jockey Daniel Tudhope on his first fancied run after being 40/1 at Kempton in November. Runs off the same mark and has a good draw for his style of running.. |

Wolverhampton 8-30 Native Beach 13/2 BOG
NATIVE BEACH showed a great attitude when running on over 7f beating the 6/4f here at Wolverhampton in a Class 3 maiden contest 20 days ago, Sir Mark Todd's colt goes into handicap company for the first time upped to 1m 1/2f with George Rooke again aboard.. |
|
By:
Both ran well with AIHAWAWI finding just one better on the day, NATIVE BEACH found himself travelling too wide and an inside draw would of been better running into 3rd..
Been keeping an eye on the turf and a couple have now won at decent odds with what I am looking for on The AW, time to start backing on the turf but 11/2 will be minimum price with 12/1 the cut off at the other end. Bank now £3603 Profit £603 20pts Profit |

Ripon 4-10 Copper Knight 10/1 BOG
|
|
By:
I have gone through the 3-35 Ripon and there looks a few doubts on the Soft ground and distance of 2m for every runner apart from the CD winner LAND OF WINTER who has also won on Heavy. Only 1lb above last win now and even though I am breaking my 11/2 rule he still looks a good bet at 4/1..

Sligo 5-25 Monnow Valley 13/2 BOG
|
|
By:
The 3yr old MONNOW VALLEY is generally thought to need less than today's 1m 2 1/2f and I had a thread a little while back along those similar lines where the horse in question came up trumps against all form and breeding odds.
On breeding Damian Joseph English's gelding's future looked more akin to sprinting but he finished in-front of five of today's rivals 10 days ago over 1m1f when he done far too much in first time blinkers from the front before running out of steam. With a bit more restraint Rory Cleary who retains the ride will hopefully have the beating of Whiskey On The Hill who has that dreaded 2lb rise that some how seems to stop them.. |
