A cracking Monday on the Flat yesterday, continuing our recent rich vein of form with 2 x winners at 3/1 and our 4 pointer at 9/4 doing the business.
A fun day, oh and so much for the end of the Jump’s season, the Emerald Isle is providing plenty of farewell fare at Punchestown, with their spring festival running through the rest of the week and with the return of Ascot tomorrow, we are in for a treat.
Let’s start at Punchestown.
15:40 – A mad wide-open race, a small play on Clever Currency and Fighting Fit who both seem ahead of the handicapper in the weights.
Clever Currency 14/1 0.5PT ew
Fighting Fit 9/1 1pt ew
16:15 – I like Blue Lord but fear he is the bridesmaid never quite getting his neck in front, Echoes in the Rain if running to form, wins handily.
16:50 – Jazzway 17/2 2PT EW
Gentleman De Mee 7/1 1.5PT ew
Ruaille Buaille 11/1 1pt ew
A Mullins triple header.
17:25 – Did you see Allaho at Cheltenham? If Chacun Pour Soi overturns that form he is a freak.
18:30 – Monkfish vs Envoi Allen – what a match-up, I may just be favouring Monkfish as I type having been convinced on Envoi Allen all morning…. enjoy one for the ages.
19:00 – Saint Benedict 11/4 2pt ew
Multiples
1615 Echoes in the Rain, 1725 Allaho, 1830 Monkfish 9/1 3pt ew
Lingfield
18:20 – Lottie Marie has set fractions carrying nigh on a full stone higher that should worry these, the price seems absurd.
Lottie Marie 5/1 – 3pt ew
Nottingham
15:20 – Poet’s Lady, down in class and back in a smaller field should have the class and speed to get in-front.
Poet’s Lady – 2/1 3pt win
15:55 – Mostly looks a fine fancy for Gosden/Dettori but the eye is drawn to Black Lotus with the Doyler jocked up, down nigh on a stone from when performing well at York, if he is anything like that today off level weights against these he should trouble the judge.
Black Lotus 5/1 1.5PT ew
