Welcome back sir!

I think Cloudy Dream without the favourite is a good bet. This smooth travelling horse of Malcom Jefferson would have a right chance in an ordinary renewal of this race and will love the decent ground he gets here.

Ooooft!!

The return of the king

2.50 Coral CupI love this race and it has been a very lucky race for me down through the years. I really fancy the Nicky Henderson trained Consul de Thaix. He brings top notch handicap form into the race having finished behind Brain Power on his last two starts. Both races were run over 2 miles and the selection was doing all his best work at the end, suggestion that an extra 5 furlongs would be right up his street. At 16-1 he represents one of the best ew selections of the week.

Consul de Thaix runs @ 1.30 does this change your opinion of the 1.30?

Messire Des Obeaux is a main fancy of mine. Thought CDT was very well handicapped for Coral Cup. Fact they run him here instead of taking advantage of said mark is significant. If I had a better day yesterday, I would have a saver bet on him. He will love the ground and is crying out for this trip,

Came in as an ew, cheers @fenwaypark

Diamond King will be a warm order here, attempting to follow up his win in the Coral Cup last year. He is after a wind operation but his jumping just does not convince me. He may well win as he looks well handicapped but the value lies else where. Step forward Caid Du Berlais. He races here off 143 and gets the good ground that he badly needs to see him at his best. He finished second in the 2013 Fred Winter, third in the 2014 Martin Pipe off 143, and won the Paddy Power Chase in 2014 off 143. He relishes these big field handicaps, has proven festival form, loves decent ground and is back on a winning mark. At 20-1 he represents one of the better ew plays of the festival.

Am I right in saying this pick doesn’t run, pal?

ran on tuesday. did a little preview on other thread.

[carryharry]

You still happy with your Day 4 selections, mate?

[The_Most_Infamous]

At least the lads put their (mostly) anonymous gambling credibility on the line.

You must be red raw from sitting on the fence…

[carryharry]

Look lad, if we want inane rambling advice we’ll tag you.

[The_Most_Infamous]

I just find your lack of knowledge on every thread quite humourous pal thats all.

Bar the cars obviously.

[carryharry]

I find it astonishing the amount of shite you post mate but each to their own…
