There are 48 tipsters in the Racing Post naps competition and only three managed to pick a winner yesterday which just demonstrates how difficult it is this time of year.
A poor day here with Copperwood proving mulish and running no sort of race. Qeethara drifted to an incredible 8/1 on the exchanges but went very close and I managed to lay the Cole gamble to retrieve my stake (another failed plunge by the yard). Steelcut just couldn't go the pace so a loss of seven points on the day - ouch !
Running loss April 5pts.
Folkestone 3.20 One More Roman 3pts win
In truth a dire race and effectively a match between the front two. Dark Ages has shown ability over five furlongs but over 7 furlongs today will have it's stamina put to the test by it's market rival. I make One More Roman a 6/4 shot so 15/8 will do for me.
Folkestone 3.55 Journalistic 2pts win
A form line through Jack of Diamonds makes Curzon Line the same horse as Philipstown so I am surprised to see one trade at 9/4 and the other at 10/1. I think Journalistic at 11/4 can beat them both dropped down to 7 furlongs after being touched off twice over a mile last year. I will probaly lay Curzon Street to provide my stake.
