Good morning all. Its been a while since I have blogged for horse racing in the week, but as there are some nice races at the festival today, and as its a Friday, I thought I would share my views.
16.55 - Ryanair Novice Chase
All eyes will be on Menorah today as he is clearly the classiest horse in this race, following on from his impressive win at Aintree. However, there is no way I could back him as his jumping issues will still be there and I am not convinced the drop back to 2 miles is a good sign. I do believe he will be fine with the ground though. The one for me is Blackstairmountain. He will relish this ground and the way the Mullins horses are running this week its mad to ignore the 8-1 available.
8-1 Best price.
2nd - unlucky.
17.30 - Rabobank Champion Hurdle
Hurricane Fly can give Mullins/Ruby a quick double.
2-5 Best price. No bet for me though.
Easy winner. Paddypower offered up evens for a short while. Thanks Paddy.
18.05 - Cathal Ryan Memorial Champion Novice Hurdle
Its hard to not be interested in another of Mullins' horse in Felix Yonger, but at 2-1 I do not see any value. Dedigout has never been out of the first 3 and I am willing to take 6-1 on this horse as I can see him taking up the running, or being up with a likely slow pace.
6-1 best price.
WINNER!
18.40 - Star Best For Racing Coverage Novice Hurdle
I feel that Malt Master can improve on this softer ground. Again, Willie Mullins has another very interesting horse, but he cannot win them all... Malt Master at these prices for me.
13-2 Best price.
2nd
19.10 Bumper
Small e/w bet on Scotias Glen who will need his stamina for this race.
14-1 Best price.
Unplaced
Best of luck to all who follow.
