Selections: Al Dancer / Aramon / Fakir D'ourdairies

R2 Arkle Trophy:Glen Forsa /Kalashnikov / Lalor

R4 Champion Hurdle: Money has come for Apple Jade this morning,but I'm going Buveur D'Air / Apple Jade / Laurina

Tough day at the  office today!With that rain in the morning before the 1st changed the track conditions quite a lot. Both ante-post beaten today,but rallied in the last two races with some smaller eachway savers on A Plus Tard in the Novice Chase and because of the ground covered my ante-post with e/w on my  2nd and 3rd selections. So managed to pull myself out of the hole with a small profit.

Nice selecting in the Supreme Hurdle Chestnut and punt landed by Flagship?.

Bookies up after day one (not you NZ TAB,real bookies)The Champion Hurdle would have them in profit for the whole festival!!

High winds forecast for tomorrow, so racing to be declared at 8am GMT

Cheers

R4 Altior.          Value Min

R5 Tiger Roll.  Value Josie’s Order/tea 4/2

Altior more of a lay bet than a win bet.....anywho looks like another tough night.  Good punting whoever has a bet

No real bets on day 3 apart from a sneaky £5 acca  with 5 horses (Monalee let me down),but have a couple of ante-post for day 4 and may have a little play with profit from day one or save it for Aintree?

Ride of the festival so far has to be Barry Geraghty on Sire Du Berlais,first class!!
