Aintree Day 2 2022

[Eggs]

….read an interesting statistic about today’s Sefton Nov Hurdle being a strong guide to Stayers Hurdle winners. Worth noting.

I'm incredibly sweet on Mister Fisher today.

He's a proper good ground horse (which he might just about get today) and the way he jumped when tearing Eldorado Allen apart at Kempton is being strangely overlooked. I'm forgiving his last run due to the ground - and he was looked after when he was weakening anyway. It's possible he's just a glorified Grade 2 horse, but Fakir had a tough race last time, MF is right there on RPRs and I just think he's a much better jumper this year which in turn makes him a much better horse (cue him falling or unseating today - and hopefully being ok). Anyway, 12/1 is an insult given some of his competitors so I've got him in a few ew multis with other horses that aren't anywhere near as abstract (Broomfield Burg/Langer Dan, Janika and Whizz Kid) and I think just in case I'm right, I'll roll him up with Flooring Porter as it could be my last chance for that one.

….Hills Special;

Jonbon/Fakir 6-1 (bet up to ?10).

….this one is into 5-1.

[Craigy14]

Added Henderson double each way.

Fils Doudairies - was a very good run I thought at Ascot first time out for Hendo and just seemed to tire. A lot of use were sweet on him for the Coral Cup.

Mister Coffey - decent in the Kim Muir could take all the beating if taking to the fences, seems in the up over fences.

[Hoopyhammer]

Jonbon & BMG by 5 lengths or more on Sky @16/1 worth a sniff.

[Eggs]

….Specials.

Hills;

Banbridge 4-1

PP;

L’Homme/Fakir 9/2
Langer/Coffey/Banbridge all 1st 5 9/2
Tamarac/Gelino/Severence 1st 5 10-1
Mac Tottie/Banbridge/Whizz 1st 5 11/2

1.45 The Aintree version of the Coral Cup and just as difficult
Cobblers Dream/Some Day Soon/Balco Coastal/Paddy's Motorbike/Navajo Pass/Politesse/Mackenberg

2.20 First Street - I know Jonbon is supposed to be so much better but currently First Street has achieved more on a racecourse thus far for me

2.55 Bravemansgame - Has the combination of top class experience over the distance and solid jumping though any of the 4 are good enough to win a race like this: the race of the meeting.

3.30 The Irish do well in this race and Fakir d'Oudairies ticks all the boxes. Next best are Funambule Sivola and Allmankind but Allmankind is better value for me

[DenmanSacre]

Peking Rose 9/1 w/o Langer Dan/ 12/1 e/w 6 places
Vina Ardanza 16/1 e/w
L'Homme Presse but price is too low for a bet.
Hitman 10/1 e/w
Mac Tottie 8/1 e/w 7 places, Francky du berlais 25/1 e/w 7 places, Windsor Avenue 40/1 e/w 8 places
My Bobby Dazzler 28/1 e/w 4 places, Stag Horn 20/1 e/w 4 places
Homme Public 7/1, Red Force One 80/1 e/w 5 places

All low stakes.

I quite like Fury Road, his price is far too big at 12/14s

I've done Fury Road 11/1 w/o BMG

I agree the price is just wrong.

[Faugheen_Machine]

Riders Onthe Storm my main bet today in the Topham at 40s. He's on a really good mark of he retains his ability and I think his run style will really suit the race. Also got Mister Coffey ante post at 16s.

[Supermaster]

The Topham - surely a highlight of the season given it's not the staying grind of the big race tomorrow. It used to be won by low weights but with increased Irish runners that has changed

Course form: Senior Citizen, Mac Tottie, Pink Eyed Pedro
Irish: Royal Rendezvous, Annamix, Foxy Jacks
Others: Fantastic Lady, Palmers Hill, Five Star Getaway

[Irish Rugby]

Quite farcical there on ITV. They cannot contractually show the first race, which is going on behind them on the big screen as they are going through the introductory bits with the presenting team. The race commentary as well.

[luisgarciaisgod]

maybe it's because people were stung by what happened at Cheltenham but I can't believe Langer Dan went off 4s

[Exar Essay]

El Fab ran some race there considering … one to take from that.

El Fab ran some race there considering … one to take from that.

….Lads were still 20-1 Arkle after that, others much shorter (still 25-1 with Fred).
