Also backed Royalfolie each-way at 33/1 with Bet365 in the last at Down Royal - interesting runner for a top owner and the trainer's not the worst around. Been a bit of support for it this morning so fingers crossed.

Chester Cup on Weds working so won't be able to go

Fiulin of Evan Williams yard has caught the eye Williams is mostly a jumps trainer then flat, Fiulin was sent to him as the most expensive horse in the yard 280,000 gns buy late last year and was hoped to be a top class hurdle horse not been given the best of chances so far with only two goes both at Cheltenham one a Class 1 Grade 2 and the other being the Supreme Novice Hurdle where it came 7th.

Spent last year mostly in Group 2 and 3 races on the flat while with Marco Botti and never getting close interesting that they are going back on the flat with it also that Jonny Murtagh is booked to ride it.

25/1

In the race after Look Busy 7.4 betfair will probs get my money stood out in a couple of races last year that I remember, one being when it missed the break in a 5f race but came home like a train.

Remember it well Wire - Haydock in May, 33/1 did quite nicely for me given the SP

Had a tip for Fiulin myself yesterday so fingers crossed and hoping for a price about one on Thursday too

That pig let me down on the last leg of a lucky 15 yest already had a 8/1,6/1 & 4/1

Not been able to find out anymore on Fiulin CP was it a strong tip for it?

Got Look Busy @ 6/1 in the 3.15

Also taken 8/1 E/W on Miss Starlight in the 2.15 drawn well could maybe do with abit of rain in the ground though, hopefully has come out of Sundays Class 1 race over 1m 2f well when it came 3rd after being held up not really given a clear run until late seemed to be gaining on the leaders though this step up to 1m 3f could well suit it.

Only info I have got on Fiulin is that it's reported to be a moody horse, but has stacks of ability.

Been raining here for last couple of hours hopefully it is in Chester and gets into the ground as Botti said he'd appreciate some give when it was with him, abit of rain would help my other two as well.

No rain at Chester yet they had a little last night.

Just before the 2.15 would be nice mate.

Just seen this on Fiulin

Evan Williams believes Fiulin, last seen finishing seventh in the Supreme Novices' Hurdle, would have serious claims had he been handed a better draw than stall 17.

Williams said

Taken 9/1 on Look Busy and place @ 3s thought there would be more market support for this

Had a ton on Myplacelater in the same race. Put Gardening Leave (won since) and Bullet Train to the sword last time, and both rated by their trainers.
Just worried he'll be even better at a bit further, and tight track at Chester won't see him at his best.

It wasn't massively strong just that the horse is down in grade and the yard think he'll go really well - people are looking at his recent jumps form which hasn't been amazing (bar the Cheltenham run) he can still do a job in the grade and may benefit from the step up to 2m 2f.

Came very close to backing that last time out @ 20/1 E/W as it was getting alot of weight was kicking myself after it, doesn't get that weight today which puts me off although won with abit to spare last time, Miss Starlight looks progressive though really catched the eye on Sunday coming late.

Concerned about the draw for my outside selection in the sprint - Doctor Parkes. He won from the plum draw in the 3yo handicap at this meeting last year beating none other than Noble Storm who went on to be listed placed and currently has an OR of 105. He went in again at Ripon having badly disappointed on softer ground at Haydock before disappointing again at Haydock - he's rated just 6lbs higher than when winning at the meeting last year and his dam improved with age so he looks overpriced to me (even accounting for the draw) at 33/1.

Are we off on Fuilin then?

Have a few quid each-way - positive stuff from Williams and I'm sure Murtagh wasn't short of offers in the race.

If Fuilin has a good chance then Spring Jim must be considered aswell at 28/1.

Spring Jim finished half a length in front of Fuilin when finishing 6th in the Supreme Novices Hurdle, the race reader for the sporting life suggested that Spring Jim 'Kept on' while Fuilin 'weakened last'. They were both off 11st 7 lbs that day and today Fuilin has to concede 12lbs to Spring Jim!

Add to that James Fanshawe has had a lot better start to this season than seasons of late and the very capable Hayley Turner in the saddle... It gets my few quid e/w!
