Thursday 4th April

Glad I barely bet yesterday, looking at the cards you were left uninspired and the races looked weakish and trappy. Many little gambles going on, barely any going in however and some odd results. Anyway Thursday is very different with day one of the Aintree meet as well as some decent jumps racing at Taunton and some A/W action to get stuck into too. Tomorrow's selection's are as follows.

Singles:

15.20 Taunton - Hunt Ball @ 5/2 NAP
15.20 Taunton - Alasi @ 8/1 e/w
16.15 Aintree - Astracad @ 10/1 e/w
16.30 Taunton - Inside Dealer @ 25/1 e/w
16.40 Lingfield - Alnoomas @ 4/1 NB
17.55 Wolves - Jezza @ 6/1 e/w
18.25 Wolves - Restless Bay @ 12/1 e/w
19.55 Wolves - One Scoop Or Two @ 8/1 e/w IWAC
20.25 Wolves - Sally's Swansong @ 14/1 e/w


Value Double:

Hunt Ball and Alnoomas @ 16.5/1


Longshot each way double:

Restless Bay and One Scoop Or Two @ 116/1


Lucky 15:

Hunt Ball, Alnoomas, One Scoop or Two, Jezza.

Returns £1188 for a 50p win stake.


Got a good feeling about tomorrow, have a lot of confidence in every selection, despite the big prices as usual. Excited for the start of Aintree but just the one bet for us there tomorrow although I would love to see our gold cup fancy Silviniaco Conti win but he is too short to go near at odds on. Countrywide Flame is another horse I love and would be delighted to see him get the better of well fancied The New One yet I wouldn't begrudge him a win as the race is full of class and very competitive. Good luck to you all and enjoy the racing! Keep an eye out for our Grand National preview which will be on the blog tomorrow evening.


Plenty asking about our Aintree thoughts too so here are a few bets you may or may not be interested in.


Lucky 15 (1):

Irish Saint, Silviniaco Conti, Captain Conan, Countrywide Flame.

Pays £470.


Lucky 15 (2):

Irish Saint, First Lieutenant, The New One, Captain Conan.

Pays £790.


Straight Tricasts:

Countrywide Flame, The New One, Oscar Whisky @ 78/1
The New One, Countrywide Flame, Oscar Whisky @ 71/1
Silviniaco Conti, First Lieutenant, The Giant Bolster @ 15/1
First Lieutenant, Silviniaco Conti, The Giant Bolster @ 27/1


Oscar Whisky looks overpriced to me for the reasons I mentioned on Twitter and an e/w bet on him @ 7/1 looks appealing.


Good Luck all.
