New Week, New Start.......

I'm raring to go today! A full house of meetings and Spring is on the way! The cards in truth are not the best, small fields aplenty! Still there is gold in them there cards and the rush is on! In terms of horses for today, the majority of the fancied runners are way too short a price. I just wonder, once again how many long odds on shots will get beaten? I am convinced that they do so more frequently than they used to, but have no stats to back up that proposition!

One I do like though is on the all-weather with Jamie Spencer back in the saddle after his ban. The horse in question is SINGLEB, a former Gary Moore inmate now with Gay Kellaway. This race is nothing more than a seller and I think he could complete the three timer.

Speaking of horses looking for the three timer, a current Gary Moore charge, PAGAN PRINCESS looks a decent price in the 4.20 at Market Rasen. 3.85 on Betfair at time of posting looks generous, with the main fear being the very inform Venetia Williams runner.

Reflecting on yesterday....
Neptunes Collenges won a Grade One race in fairly good style. He repaid the losses from his fall and showed what a good horse he is.



Is he worth an interest for the Gold Cup? Not for me. I can't see past Kauto Star and I don't think he would beat Tamarin Bleu or Denman. The Listener is a shadow of the horse that left the Alner stable, which is a real shame. The owner of The Listener is a bit of a, well, no point in being diplomatic, an Idiot. He has jocked off Andrew Thornton and Daryl Jacob in the past and changed stables from the Alner's. I tell you if I had a horse performing like he was I wouldn't move him, but I haven't and its his prerogative, but I think that the form book tells the real story.

Not Long to Cheltenham now, can't wait!
