I think this horse offers excellent value & I expect Oke Bay & Altos Reales to fight it out. I don't think the market has got the odds right with this one. Oke bay 9.4 to back & 3.3 e/way.

What a shocking ride from an experienced jockey like Jim Crowley.

I'm totally baffled why he came out of the stalls, as if it was a 5f sprint & burnt the horse out after 6f !

Based on the last race when Seb Sanders was on board, he was unlucky not to win over a longer distance on the same track & a better race class 5.

The mind boggles .............

When will we see the jumps racing again ?

I'm sick of this terrible weather & the
AW racing & badly need conditions to change.

I think the this pick is the stand out in this mediocre field &

Carrickmines - 3.05 to back.

I expect McCoy to win again with Rapid Increase & give

Another great ride from AP yesterday on Rapid Increase.

About 4f out the horse looked bustled along & with the O'Neill camp, not firing on all cylinders at present, thought it would lose.

Only McCoy could have won on that horse yeasterday, his timing was immaculate & his endeavour is superb.

What a guy.

Agree, he's the best of the best, should have more recognition outside racing but I suppose it's the same with Phil Taylor in darts in that the sport just isn't popular enough to warrant it.

He's got another good book of rides today at Newbury so I'm expecting at least a couple of winners.

Quite a hard race to figure out, but I think the chosen horse
Delightfully has reasonable place claims. Reasonable value to
back at 8.0 & e/way 2.74.

Spot on Rich, too much emphasis on twenty two guys kicking a football about for obscene amounts of money.

The way the much maligned media report sport in the UK is, football & then the rest - Tennis, Rugby Horse Racing, Snooker Darts, Cricket ............

McCoy should have been a candidate at least once for sports personality of the year, but he doesn't kick a ball about.

I think the chosen horse I'm Your Man offers reasonable
valu to back at 8.6 & for the places at 2.84. My only concern
is the extra weight over these ground conditions.

Well done with I'm Your Man, Mark.

It could also pay to keep an eye on Delightfully, who was given something of a soft ride last time out.

This looks quite a straightforward race & I think the only danger
