[quote=Hwjb]Have been taking it steadily with the jumps season thus far, but I reckon today sees an outstanding bet.
STRONG RESOLVE 3:10, Haydock. 10pts win @ 9/4. This fella lost his way last season, but as a consequence is dangerously well handicapped, some 17lbs lower than when runner-up in the Welsh Grand National in Dec 04. However he made a most encouraging reappearance last month when a narrow second to a well treated rival, the pair well clear. 9/4 represents outstanding value against a field of horses largely handicapped out of things. Showers a predicted at Haydock, the softer the better.[/QUOTE] Happy Days! Strong Resolve: 1st of 9 @ 9/4: +22.5pts Total +46.05pts

Congrats on that pick, Hjwb. It's nice when your biggest bet comes in!

Fancy a few today, put far too hungover to place more than two bets. TARANIS. 1:55 @ Chp This horse is a monster, starting him off over hurdles and prolly wont be 100% fit. No matter, will absolutely slaughter this lot. 8pts win ALFIE FLITS. 2:40 @ Nwb Testing condions will hold no fears and must go close. 3pts win Good Luck folks!

TARANIS made a very encouraging reappearance, winning well in the end. Will improve significantly for the step up to 3m. Unfortunately I missed the decent prices: 1st of 9 @ 4/5: +6.4pts
ALFIE FLITS never went a yard, and maybe doesn't want ground so deep. Still think he's a classy horse, and will be interesting to see if Swinbank goes back to hurdles with him or, on the back of Collier Hill's big win, looks overseas for some rich Flat races. He's a lot better than this. 10th of 11: -3pts. +43.45pts

We don't really cover Oz racing at all, and I'm not really au fait with any of their horses. Although Tawqeet is one I know a bit about as he was trained by John Dunlop over here last season, including when finishing 3rd to Scorpion in the St Leger. I downright refuse to back any Australian horse for the Melbourne Cup so my lack of knowledge isn't a real hindrance when it comes to that. We have a fierce sporting rivalry with the Aussies, so I'll probably back all the British challengers (& Yeats) in a double with England to win the Ashes this winter (that's cricket if you didn't know)!!
