Think Zarkander is great value personally at more or less 3/1 tomorrow - 11/4 currently with 365. Realistically, if its going to challenge the Fly in the CH, let alone win, it needs to be winning this off 151 as the form from the Triumph is excellent.

I was reading earlier Nicholls was saying the horse wouldn't be 100%, and although it won't be 100% I don't believe it'll be far off and he'll want to know if it really can challenge for the CH, let alone the fact how many times have we heard that stuff only to see it hack up by 10+ lengths!

A treble of Zarkandar, Long Run and Sprinter Sacre pays around 7/1, might be tempted to play medium stakes as well as the single on Zarkandar.

Tonight's Welsh Open snooker:
O’Sullivan to beat Trump at 10/11
Mark Allen v Shaun Murphy - Over 7.5 Frames at 4/5

Best Super League bet at the weekend looks like Hull KR +14.

Thoughts on these please:
Grandouet at 7/1 for the Champion Hurdle
Grandouet at 4/1 without Hurricane Fly
Mikael D’Haguenet e/w at 40/1 for the Champion Hurdle

all depends on what grandouet finds off the bridle imo. will travel strongly and be one of the last to be shaken up and certainly has a chance of a place.

think there could be some funny business from henderson and mcmanus with binocular though. hasnt been at his best in either of his runs this year, no prep run, we all know mcmanus is a big gambling man.... certainly wouldnt surprise me in the least to see him finish in the places.

mikael d'haguenet would certainly be worth a quid or two e/w, has looked a lot more confident this year. could end up going for the world hurdle though? he's available at 50s with a few firms for the champion, but not ones offering nrnb.

long run seems weak in the market this morning....




edit: just read on Sporting Life Grandouet will miss his prep run tomorrow due to banging a leg, which will keep him off for three or four days. Binocular runs in the race instead.

grandouet taken a knock and misses its intended next run ...so will be out for the champ hurdle next, bit of a blow but a good horse...hurricane fly will go and will though or zarkander

forget mikael!

ZARKANDER.1.15.newb 3/1
MONTBAZON.1.50.newb 11/4
CHANCERY.3.30.newb 8/1 ....highly rated by the omeara yard but obv running against other good ones!
VIL GALLELEI.1.15.newb 33/1 e/w not a bad run last time against some of these and gets abit more pull at the weights bet365 go 5 places so taken ew

Rugby..

WARRINGTON -6
WIGAN -12
SAINTS -14
SALFORD -6
LONDON +14

£5 acca = £278
and lucky 63

wish i'd put the three in a bloody treble.

darlan was still on the bridle when falling though, woulda been interesting had he stayed up.

yeh darlan took a crashing fall!

sprinter sacre looked impressive again

im just waiting for chancery now for a treble and patent

Got fiver on Daley Cherry Evans to score first try against leeds tonight

Think Manly -4 looks good tonight, Leeds didn't impress me at all last weekend and think this looks well coverable for Manly.

I'll roll some of my Zarkander winnings onto this

done a treble last night of rubi light 8/15, zaidpour 3/10 and binocular 4/7 as well as a single on zaidpour at 1/3.

restless harry is interesting in the 245 at haydock, while its not ridiculous to think reindeer dippin could run another big race with plenty in his favour.

leaving the ascot chase. riverside theatre should win, was half tempted to have a poke at the 9/4 first thing but the price has tumbled now to 13/8 biggest. probably coinciding with tom segal saying he thinks the horse will win on the morning line, bookies running for cover and its as short as 11/8. henderson horses arent usually wanting for fitness so, providing he is over the injury, all points toward a bold bid. kauto stone would probably want it very soft, and medermit could be the danger if on a going day.

zaidpour and rubi light at gowran
binocular at wincanton
riverside theatre and bobs worth at ascot
mr willis at lingfield.
