Cracking card. Just reading it now, will throw up a few losers later :p
One thing though, Mourad, is rated 142, I know Willie wants to go down the WH route, but surely he'd be a serious blip in the Coral Cup of that mark!!??
With Cousin Vinny also on course for the World Hurdle, maybe Mourad could go for the Coral Cup now? Altho if he wins 2moro, he'd be nearly top weight in the race I'd have thought!

Shakervillz could be dangerous against Osana imo..stiff test of Navan should neutalise his need for longer trip
Down - Luska did me favour for the NH comp... and didn't have a penny on him...dutched Jumbo and Muir:-(

Mourad has a rating of 142 in Ireland.The english handicapper would probably stick another 8lbs or more on that.He is far too small a horse to shoulder a big weight in a handicap imo.

2.10 - Cant be havin Mourad at under 2/1 in this - have laid some already, mite have an e/w dabble on Sam Adams - ran well at Punchestown behind The Midnight Club on his last start over hurdles
2.45 - Peak Raider has run 2 good races in defeat on his last 2 runs and can come home in front here
3.15 - Gonna lay the field at 1.7 ir and hope to get 3 matched Cadspeed has traded v short on his last 3 runs - Champus went 1.08 ir lto - Luck William traded 1.6 2 runs ago - Crannaghmore Mist has traded sub 1.4
4.25 - Was impressed with Uimhiraceathair (Nap) lto, jumped and quickened well, should be able to take this
4.55 - Osana sets the standard here - but at the likely prices Major Finnegan e/w could be a better play imo

Boyne Hurdle - Mourad is too short for me given the ratings. Would be very surprised if Ebadiyan is not placed at least, think the 7/1 ew is a great bet! Like Sam Adams also, Squeaky is 2 for 2 on him, and maybe an ew saver @16s.
Ten Up - Uimhiraceceathair NAP, should be good enough if improved from his first run to see off these with some ease. Beckett Rock could be an ew alternative, won at the meeting last year, and Mouse's are generally over priced.
Flyingbolt - Osana is a long way clear here, 2/2 at the course, Shakervilz wants at least another 4f to be seen at his best.

How good is the form of Bertie's Dream's last race? The 1st,2nd,4th,5th all won since(he was 3rd), beating horses who have won since. Can't see him being good enough tomorrow, but will def be keeping an eye on him.

ebadiyan is a bit slow and doesnt stay 90th minute is pacey and may not get home against this class in this ground war of attrition is well exposed as a seriously deteriorated horse. mourad is a stone cold minimum 150 rated horse and if not in first two i'll eat my hat ,7/4 looks fair imo.

1.40 - Kerb Appeal - thought he would be much shorter, so the 13/8 is more than fair. 2.10 - Ebadiyan - took the 7s ew last night(thank fook). Good race. 2.45 - No bet as I can't narrow it done. Can make a case for about 6 or 7 of them. Mexian Venture maybe? :| 3.15 - Lucky William ew. Not sure about the top two. 3.50 - Ballyburke ew. 4.25 - Uimhiraceceathair win NAP, Beckett Rock ew. 4.55 - Osana - really thought he'd be odds against :0 Should be too good for Shakervilz.
GL all.

1.40 Kerb Appeal Looks like a two horse race between kerb appeal and monastrell.But using caduceus as a line of form kerb appeal should win as long as he can jump a hurdle. 2.10 War of Attrition E/W.A tricky race but he should not be out of the first three and might win if he is allowed a soft lead like he was LTO. 2.45 Marlay Park E/W.The race he was in LTO was an 81-130.Today he is dropping down to an 81-116.He is also a course winner as he won his bumper here which is always a help at Navan. 3.15 No Bet 3.50 No Bet 4.25 Coolcashin(Without Fav).Uimhiraceathair should win this but he is no value so coolcashin is a good bet without at around 5/2.Excuses can be made for his bad run LTO as it was over an inadequate trip of 2m 3f. 4.55 Sorcerer (Without Fav)Osana should win this but he again is no value and sorcerer is a good bet without the fav at around 9/2 if he can reproduce his run behind captain Cee Bee where he was only beat about 6l.

Irish bookies offices? What time can they legally open on a Saturday? Have they to close at a certain time on Saturday evening?
I've a brief quiery and I'll ask in here...Irish bookies offices? What time can they legally open on a Saturday? Have they to close at a certain time on Saturday evening?
Shame on you COM, two gutsy staying novices well clear of the rest. I'll be taking a positive view of this form and feel No. 4 did his RSA hopes no harm.

Any word on the wellbeing of Paul Carberry it looked on the replay that he got a right kicking from the horse in the maiden hurdle, didnt ride Sigma in the chase....

LOL I hope you're right Carvill's, I too am on him for the RSA. Just thought he made very hard work of it when it appeared as tho he was a surefire winner approaching the last!

Immediately afterwards it was thought that Pauls ankle was only badly bruised but after an hour it had flared up like a balloon & the possibility of a broken ankle was raised. Paul said he thought it wasnt broken but I think he was hoping that rather than knowing it. X ray will be needed.

Paul's agent reckoned he would be back before long.

Well my pal who was with me said the same thing. He said he went round the houses. I only seen the race from the turn in and felt he was never going to get there.
Anyway The Jigger did tip it up. Good shout.

PAUL CARBERRY hopes to be back riding at Fairyhouse on Saturday after he suffered sprained ligaments to his right ankle following a nasty incident at Navan on Sunday. It could have been a lot worse and thankfully nothing is broken, but my foot was quite sore today so I went to see the physio and I have to rest it for a few days,
