Just checked my Spirit River bet and its 4 places bookies are doing 5 and can still get 16/1 so going back in.

The way it came home strong in its first race with GMOOH its looked like a further distance would suit, hacked up round Cheltenham at top weight next time out, was going well in its second race against GMOOH where is was market fav for along time when making a bad mistake on the home straight and was eased, never ran on ground as quick as this though which may find it out

Gone in again on Bishopsfurze 14/1 E/W but with Bet365 they go 4 places and a little at 5/1 place (3) betfair.

Mullins said it would of hated that ground that it won on in impressive style from nowhere last time Mullins also seem to think it was abit like Cousin Vinny in the way it ran seem to have a little grin on his face talking about this one as if he liked it more then the others Townend rides it.

Overall a pretty strong day for me .. ended £30 up.

Places from Get Me Out Of Here, The Tother One, Zaynar, Another Jewel and a good run from Carole's Legacy.

The solitary win was a beauty from Sizing Europe.

Anyway - not too bad, bit annoyed with how poor Dunguib and Solwhit were, but that run from Binocular oozed power.

Will post Wednesday's tips in the morning.

FC

Won't get on during racing today (off to a mates to watch it).

Good luck everyone - let's hope today's not one for the bookies as well.

One I'm really looking forward to today is the very upwardly mobile WISHFULL THINKING in the Coral Cup.

Right, early selections so far (so i may tweak them later)

1:40 mobaasher
2:05 Right of passage, Many Riverstocross e/w
2:40 Diamond Harry
3:20 Plan on plumping on Master minded depending on how the markets going
4:00 Deutschland


Also took the 9/2 on Big Bucks, Master Minded and Kueto star.
So you've ehared here folk, lay the big 3

Punchestowns is my NAP of the entire festival and is a cracking price today. If he gets a clear round he should go very close.

Double that up with Master Minded and you have a nice looking 6/1 double.

Not feeling too confident about today's picks TBH but here we go ...

1:30 - Becauseicouldntsee and Noakarad de Verzee.

2:05 - Peddlers Cross and Finian's Rainbow.

2:40 - Punchestowns and Diamond Harry.

3:20 - Master Minded, Forpadytheplasterer and Golden Silver.

4:00 - Wishfull Thinking and Shadow Dancer.

4:40 - Notus De La Tour and Bothy.

5:00 - Drumbaloo and Made In Time.

Good Luck All.

1.30 Mobasher; Tinakellylad;
2.00 Not decided yet, but probably Finians Rainbow

2.05 Rite of Passage
2.40 Weapons Amnesty (e/w)

Day 2 .. hoping for a better day!

2.05 PEDDLERS CROSS E/W
2.40 PUNCHESTOWNS (not much between this and long run but jockeys swayed it for me and the money has come for p)
3.20 MASTER MINDED (Got this in a 10/1 treble with big bucks and kauto... master minded has the hardest task in my opinion out of the three)
4.00 QUANTITATIVEEASING E/W
4.40 NOTUS DE LA TOUR (This is my second biggest bet of the festival behind kauto..really impressed when i saw it run last time, expect it to go close!!)
KUDU COUNTRY E/W (well regarded in stable)

Had a winner on the football last night to hopefully set me up for a positive day. 2 E/W punts in this one Fabalu and Noakarad De Verzee.

Good luck to all
