Horse in the first looked a complete pig on its last two starts and is surely a lay!!
His other has a chance.
Report TellTheKing March 26, 2015 12:21 PM GMT
The first horse would be a lay most days only there is an absolute dearth in opposition.

Cyprian Prince looks to have ability and has shown it in smatterings. If he repeated his eyecatching run behind Free Expression he would probably be a lock and certainly a right e/w punt. The break since is bit of a concern but its such a shocking race that I have chanced him.

Ffos Las is very much a horses for courses track. While Flintham hasn't actually ran there it's not hard to envisage him thriving out in front around the Welsh moors. If he repeats his Ascot run before Christmas he will win a minute.

If...... Also, keep an eye out for a massive punt in Cork on Thursday. The horse will reveal himself in due course.

Case of false alarm CMIYC I'm afraid. Initial reports of a bumper showing plenty in its work have been clouded by a further report that it's not so hot after all. I'll be staying out of it.

Interesting money for se vende in the 1st race, 20's into 10's. Would be interested in any of p2p experts view on him, his first run @ Kilmallock where he fell @ the last looks very good form on paper.

I've backed aklan in the 2nd race. He has been a bit frustrating I suppose but I would forgive him his last run, a few of the mullins horses ran poorly around that time. His previous run when 2nd to elliot's horses looks quite good now in light of his 2nd @ Cheltenham. 9/4 is generous imo.

Desperate ground,price is gone but will surely suit Railway Tommy.
Report newapproach March 26, 2015 4:17 PM GMT
Looks that way pa alright. I thought the track might even be a bit sharp for him before I saw how bad the ground was. Captainofthefleet looks another one who will be suited by the strong test of stamina in that race.

Has an enquiry been called into the riding of Cairde Aris.

I assume there will be if the stewards have eyes at all.

Wildman argues that jockeys should never be banned, but Andy Mac put up a strong case to refute it there.
Report neill d March 26, 2015 4:48 PM GMT
Should be for sure, minimal assistance would be being generous.

Trainer is connected though so will probably go away.
Report neill d March 26, 2015 4:49 PM GMT
Have never understood wildman's take on that. Boxers compete in as dangerous a sport and often come from backgrounds where they had few other outlets.
Report pa lapsy March 26, 2015 4:51 PM GMT
It was bad,made no attempt turning in and the going wide didn't look as if it was for better ground.

No bet in that race pa. Backed aklan earlier and ran a shocker. Have backed the mullins shortie in the next as well
Report wildmanfromborneo March 26, 2015 7:48 PM GMT
Cairde Aris started off last and on the wide outside.
This was his third run in a maiden hurdle so presumably the Brave Inca route is the plan,get handicapped go back and win your bumper then collect in the handicaps.

The handicapper who doesn't review races should just not give him a mark,tell Kiely when he tries he will get a mark.

Andrew McNamara found himself getting into the race at the second last bend so he eased off and pushed Cairde Aris even wider allowing the favourite poach another six lengths.
Report TellTheKing March 26, 2015 8:09 PM GMT
You can't do that anymore. It was changed after Brave Inca. I've looked at old horses form from years back and it appears you could run in handicap chases or even on the flat prior to running in bumpers. Obviously there must have been age restrictions and what have you  in may of them to protect young NH horses. Still they were far different events previously.

Good call on Flintham Tell The King.Amazingly tough family which is even more amazing when you look at the dam sire whose progeny would not have been noted for toughness.

Terrible ground in Mallow today.The only reason Andrew Mc got as close as he did was because of racing on much the best ground whether he realised it or not at the time.The later races gave a fascinating insight into the collective lack of brainpower of trainers/jockeys.Katie Walsh hacked up in the amateur riders race coming wide...4 jockeys in the 3 mile handicap came miles clear of the 3 who kept to the inner.One would think at this stage that the penny might drop but no.At least a third of the field in the 5.40 stuck to the inside/middle with the 2nd and 3rd being ridden wide outside the whole way round.
This failure to spot the obvious highlights why some trainers/jockeys simply don't have enough common sense to be any good at what they do.No coincidence that Katie and Ruby were among those who spotted the bias earlier than most.

Tolmi , has it crossed your mind that they DID know it was the place to be , and took precausions if you get my drift...

Of course it crossed my mind!!I decided it would be giving them too much credit!Anyway the number of horses not off in handicaps is quite small anyway.
