Race 1) Rite Of Passage.(Nap) This looks a formality for this classy flat performer. He hacked up FTO over jumps beating Grey Soldier who won LTO. He is up in trip as there is no point taking on Dunguib at Cheltenham
Race 2) Won In The Dark. (NB) This is a step down from 3 attempts at Grade 1 victory. His class and getting weight should get him home.
Race 3) Deutschland. If this claasy performer strips fit, look no further. On his last hurdle run he came out of the clouds to chase down Bahrain Storm, but the bird had flown.
Race 4) Flat Out. (Treble) Another likely winner for Mullins with this dual bumper winner who made mincemeat of his rivals LTO at the Harvest festival coming home alone.
Race 5) Golden Sunbird. This mare has been round the block trying to win a Mares race and this looks the ideal opportunity having just been touched off by Prarie Call in Thurles.
Race 6) No Selection. I will bow to the superior knowledge of BJG, or Norn Iron here.
Race 7) Allee Garde. Not an original selection this Mullins gelding. In his column in the Post last Sunday he said he was stepping up the workload of his bumper horses and had a lot of nice ones to run over the next fortnight.

1.55 _ Rite of Passage gonne be very short and prob rightly so - but the bet i like is Healys Bar w/o fav, was disappointing lto but ran a cracker the time b4 that behind Oscar Dan Dan, can come home behind ROP here
2.25 - looks a massive opportunity for Won in the Dark to get back to winning ways here, should be too good for these
2.55 - No One Tells me ran a stormer behind Voler La Vodette lto, has won on soft, big shout here
3.25 - Better Times e/w a dual bumper winner, disappointing on his 1st run over hurdles must rate a solid e/w bet to nothing in this, ground wont be a problem, will go close imo - Flat Out the one to beat
3.55 - Golden Sunbird - this horse is like my mount everest! Backed her last 2 times wen a very unlucky loser both times, pullin my hairout with her- last chance saloon for me tomorrow, needs to brush up her jumping but should be thereabouts again
4.25 is actually my Nap tomorrow - Pretty happy e/w ran v well lto i thought in wat was imo a better race than this! Travelled very well up to them b4 the straight b4 hittin a flat spot and stayin on a bit again after the last- has nt the most consistent profile but if he can repeat his last run must go close and is the e/w Nap for me here
4.55 - Probably alll about Allee Garde for the WP Mullins stable but prob be a skinny price

Good stuff lads.^ Just having a quick scan of the cards, will wait for prices before selecting a few losers ;)
Its an interesting card, and although i'm on RoP for the Neptune and want to see him win well tomorrow, he is very short against a horse who was 3rd in a G1 two starts ago.
Now time for my last pints before lent(Cheltenham excluded).

1.55 BJ to jump out and make it a test of stamina on Healys Bar rated 144 was upsides Powerstation last day when he came down, ROP maiden not really workin out that well, Ok Grey Soldier won but Monastrell was v disapointing Sunday. Meades horses could be gone a bit wrong though. 2.25Jolly needs good ground but has clear advantage with conditions. Gallant Light has decent form goin right handed dismiss last effort as he was murdered in running. 2.55Ruby time here, he will expose Farringdons limitations over 2m4f although Smoking Aces would be welcome winner for the stable. 3.25Strange jockey bookings here any market moves would be a pointer. 3.55A few of these mares need good ground and P Nolan thinks Golden Sunbird needs 2m4f(entered fairyhouse 2m4f also). I marginally prefer Kielys mare but ground a concern. 4.25Any market move for Roxboro Lodge or Shorecliffe King would be interesting, a slow motion finish here after 2m6f slog. 4.55Willies sure to be popular here but PJ Colvilles would be interesting if the betting spoke in his favour

Interesting to see how Golden Sunbird goes tomorrow. Not sure how she has been listed as very unlucky on her last two outings. She was beaten fair an square by Killultagh Queen, who jumped much better than her and deserved to win. GS was disappointing next time and is crying out for this trip on better ground.
Not sure whether the real Liss Na Tintri will appear tomorrow as she is another that will prefer a sounder surface. If she is back to her best she will win.

1.55 - RoP is too short against Healys Bar imv. Hope he wins but I'll be laying at that price.
2.25 - WitD should win this, looks a good bit of placing, but no bet at the price. Gallant Light w/o fav or maybe ew @7s+.
2.55 - Can make a case for the top 4. Deutschland has a great record fresh (1,2,2). Farringdon & Somking Aces are both in good form, andd closely matched. No One Tells Me could give the VLV form a boost here and is best at the weights. NOTM is the tentative selection.
3.25 - Flat Out just looks better than these by some way. If he's beat hard it'll probably be by Macarther Park.
3.55 - Again hard to see the winner coming from outside the top 3. Grancore Girl ew @6s or bigger NAP, step up in trip should suit this own-sister to Black Harry.
4.25 - Foxboro Lodge ew @8s+. Full brother to Central House, ran well to be 3rd lto, 1st two won nto. Trip should suit.
4.55 - Allee Garde/Follow the Script fc.
GL all.

1.55 No Bet 2.25[b] Sciatin E/W[/b] Even though the fav is dropping in class i can't back him at that price and i am going to take a chance on Sciatin who was rated 10lbs higher than the fav on the flat and should be handle to handle the soft conditions better. 2.55 FarringdonI think Deutschland is a far better chaser than a hurdler and his best trip is probably 2 miles on better ground and for that reason i think Farringdon will win but i would be afraid of Smoking Aces. 3.25 No Bet 3.55 No Bet 4.25 Shorecliffe King E/WThis horse looks like it could be very well handicapped if you go back to it's race two runs ago.Horse that won the race is now rated 9lbs higer,horse that finished 2nd is rated 16lbs higher now and the horse that finished 3rd is rated 21lbs higher now.He should be able to reverse form with Pretty Happy at the weights. 4.55 No bet
