Has surprisingly passed inspection after being found unraceable yeaterday .Good card on what will be very testing ground .........
Tony Martin ws interviewed at Thurles the other day and marked down Hold the Pin as his best horse for the season .Goes in the first race .Being well backed this morning now 6/4 ...... I won t be backing him as i can t see any form on heavy ground ....... I dont know will he go on it as his bad runs on it were days that he probably wasn t trying .....so best to watch it ........Days hotel has form on heavy and if Henry de Bromhead has him raedy for first run he could be a good each way bet at 5 /1
Michael Hourigans Crash in the second race looks a cracking each way bet at 4/1 ladbrokes ....This fella has won a point to point on its first run , a bumper and a maiden hurdle all on heavy ground . Hourigan has stated that he is a chaser in the making and with the yard having a great run of things in the Giggenstown colours recently with wins for Ballysteen and Best Served Cold , i think he can put it up to giggenstowns other runner the odds on Stonemaster . I know Russell would ave had the choice of the two but the fact Hourigan has Barry Geraghty up tells me he ll be taking him on .....
Cairdin is also a great bet at 2/1 in the maiden hurdle . I backed this one in Listowel on heavy ground the last day and without trying to sound like i m talking through my pocket i thought Danny Mullins gave this one a very poor ride asking him to make up far too much on bad ground .The winner Viaduct Joey boosted the form by winning a handicap at Galway on Sunday . I thought Mullins also gave Marley Park a poor enough ride in Thurles last Thursday although he mighn t have been " off " . Either way i think Cairdin is a decent animal and would a proven ability to go on the ground i can t see him being beaten ..
good luck all
PS I see David Marnane sends one runner to Mussellburgh today for a maiden Golden Halo 9/4 ... Just touched off at Roscommon by ballydoyles Foot Soldier ( whom i see was bought by Charlie Swan for only 10k at Newmarket Horses in training sales this week
) .... Should go close to winning today

is it hold the pin or nearest the pin he said?
sorry dave the one one that runs today nearest the pin .... i ve the name down wrong thanks 
3.20 - Ten Fires @ 7/1 (Ground fine, stays further but on this ground i think the trip should be fine, if back to his best should go close)
Not at Punchestown but has an Irish theme, like the chances of Eyre Square at Haydock going back over fences today after winning a 3m hurdle at Hexham last time.

I suppose that's out key to take the 7/1 Beef To The Heels? 
Agree with you Dinglemick regarding Cardin lto surely won,t keep him so far off the pace today.
Make a track 3.55
Thought he ran a bit green at towester,pricked his ears coming up the hill,won admittedly poorish bumper in good style and looked to have a bit of improvement in him.Won other bumper in soft at Sandown which ought to say he,ll handle conditions.
Irish Soul 5.00
Looks a free ew bet,opposition looks fairly mediocre.
Cracking bumper,really liked the manner of Supreme Carolina,s win at Listowel,however burn and turn and misunited to a lesser extend were also impressive.Race to watch.
good luck today.

2.15 Days Hotel E/W
2.45 Stonemaster
3.55 Reizovic
Depending on the above might back Cairdin.

Beef To The Heels will need a real stamina test to be seen at his best, made mistakes late on at Cloyne but was still running on strongly at the finish and have to say he won easily in the end. Presume he's been injured since but 3m+ over fences will be his forte IMO.
I do like the fav in the first, but Dinglemick has tempered my enthusiasm, prob leave well alone, as the ground will probably be desparate. Cardin in the hurdle only bet then.
Tony Martin's horse in the first will not mind the heavy ground........connections don't see it as a problem.
wd dinglemick too then 
apoligies for missing ye out 
apoligies for missing ye out
i missed out lads had no bet in it when i saw martins going off 5/4 
.....well done punchestown good start .....at least i put deplasterer off backing the fav
.....well done punchestown good start .....at least i put deplasterer off backing the fav
wtf was that layed the fav ...davy never gave me a moments worry
there s a boilover !!!.... jasysus i thought there was no know way cross appeal and imperial shabra could keep going at that gallop ..... very disapointed with crash ..seemed to be spending a lot of time in the air at his fences
wd punchestown with the first one.
Don,t seem to be much coming from off the pace in the opening 2
O. Brady in his interview this morning on atr got first place in,seemed very bullish on his 3.55 runner(know its O.B.)

I had a feeling this would happen.
Stonemaster is a dire jumper....he is so slow and ponderous. He needs to step up to 3 miles if they want to ride him like that or ride him from the front in a 2 mile race to quicken up his jumping.

ruby,it would have helped if Davy would have shook the reins when the other pair disappeared off into the distance 6f out.
That was a ride,if they think he is slow, why not ride him bit closer to pace, fickin clueless!
yh i not arguing. i think he gave up and then he realised they went hard which was obvious and started to come back to him.
Hopefully he wont do the same with Charlie's Swans Beast

Hope so Ruby,backed 2nd string in that just in case wont be 1st time.
He waited way too long to get after the horse,looked brutal as the horses in front of him were legless,he made up about 15 lengths in the straight.
Yes I completely agree....if he moved him up even 2 more lengths before the last 3 flights he would have won. His Jumping is sooo bad when the pace quickens its scary. I learned after he was beaten few weeks ago not to trust him. Glad i stuck to that
Ruby I thought his jumping had improved a bit from last year and today was no worse that anything around him,I think Russell kocked up there by thinking he had them covered in front but over did it as opposed to anything ulterior.
Rides like that put people off the game.

I going to disagree about the jumping but Russell really did get the fractions wrong. No arguement
Elliott horse getting backed now for Giggy
sure is Ruby, been backed steadily since about 11 from 7/1 down 
C'mon Beefy!!
C'mon Beefy!!
FFS had i not gone away at the weekend i'd of been 1.01 to be told about that
hard luck with ten fires premier ......you were coming up against a " Job Horse " groody hill ....you could say it was matter of how far a mile from home !!!
There is nothing good about that sort of thing in Racing.
Money keeps coming for Elliots in the 3.30 and in decent sums
I say again the money keeps coming A real gamble this is
A real gamble this is
Russell superb their...waiting for the gap won the race
Infuriating Russell,does everything right there to beat my fast finishing selection,think I'll sit the rest of the day out..
The difference tween a good jockey and a poor one. Mark Walsh is one of the worst riding in Ireland at the min and I have said it for a while now. That race highlighted it.
ruby not at his best today .....he made a few mistakes in judging the pace today imo...
Nice ride from Danny there, even smacked the runner up with his whip on the run in
I don't think the 2nd was helping Ruby much at the end there
good shot dingle,don,t think i,ve seen you ever post such a bullish write up before.different tactics today.
Game as anything Cairdin,I thought Ruby had it covered coming to the last.
thanks lapsy .....Danny gave him a much better ride today making more use of him and outstaying them ...I think it also showed he rode him all wrong in Listowel .... It was after all a 2mile 2 F bumper in Galway he won

The Listowel money was only lent mick,the polar opposite ride by Mullins today.Hope you had the house on
ta punchestown ...danny just interviewed on atr said he got caught too far back in Listowel and in hindsight the horse didn t have a tough race
great tipping today lads, wd. Backed Cairdin on the strenght of the posts here. Im on supreme carolina in the last, I think its great value at 3/1..
i had a big bet ealier on k ryans in first in haydock..it lost thru misadventure!!..anyway no better place to come to recover losses(cairdin) than the sages on the irish forum...thanks lads
I'd no bet but I thought young Mullins was asleep in the straight,he let the winner poach 3 lenghts at the distance that he couldn't get back,I think I'm turning into Victor Meldrew lads 
i had 3 bets today, form figures of F27
at least i've got all my smileys back
wd winners
