It was a solid enough day on Saturday with a winner and a placed finish. Beau Balko was a big drifter, winning at 9/2 after being tipped up at 5/2 and Waxing Gibbous was placed for us at 12/1.
Rizzel's Tips
El Rio 15/8 (2pt) – Sandown 1.05
I think it is hard not to be impressed by El Rio with his Huntingdon performance just over a month ago on just his second chase start, as he won comfortably and it would've been a domination job if it wasn't for some bad mistakes over the last two fences.
Today's opposition is tougher and it will test El Rio more than his previous encounters over fences, but I think he is up to the job. His jumping up until the final two fences was immaculate, and I think it showed what a strong engine he has and how well ahead of the handicapper he was. He has gone up 6 lbs for that win, but based on what I saw, I don't think that will be enough to slow his progress.
The Sandown back straight will be the acid test for his jumping, with the railway fences often causing problems for experienced chasers, so if he handles them with ease, I do struggle to see him beaten. Of the others, I thought Belgarum was the one to be wary of, mostly due to the form of the Joe Tizzard yard, which has been firing in winners left, right, and centre for the last couple of weeks. That horse was pulled up last time out off the same mark he runs off today, but surely that was too bad to be true, so I might even chuck a few quid on the forecast.
Moroder 7/1 – Sandown 3.25
My second selection is Moroder for this four-runner field Veterans' Handicap Chase.
The claims for victory are definitely more visible for the other three runners in the race, with all three having close linked form from their Chepstow race which Copperhead won, but I did think that Moroder was worth a chance off a reducing mark and that he is being slightly disrespected in the market.
Moroder's current ability is definitely up in the air based on his seasonal reappearance at Exeter where he was eventually pulled up. But, that was his first run in 188 days and I think you've got to look a tad deeper before completely writing him off. His form last year was fairly atrocious, but he ended the season with a 2nd/14 in a Class 2 chase at Cheltenham, which is enough for me to believe there is life in the old boy and off a 1lb lower mark, with a recent run under his belt, he was the play in this race.
3:25 sandown – certainly red 9/4 Just like my Face IF this one loses ! Ha
Had a nice lump on that one ! Phew !
To be honest I thought it was a obvious selection 😂
Cheers dazman 👍
Picture been changed busstop
The people have spoken!” 🐎 🖼️ ⚾️
Which course is that.
Looks like Albania to me
Yeah just seemed a bit daft to me.
Looked like Santa Anita, South California there but on closer inspection maybe not the mountain bit small 🤷
Dar toungi 12-40 Marseille 🇫🇷.
6-5 top 2 finish
7-2 win.
Both bet365
80-20 stake
Both bet365.
Lost to today’s 2nd favourite dilawar last time by a length and gets a massive 13 pound weight swing today.
He has also beat dilawar off level weights this year.
Cambronne is the favourite and on a decent weight and is chasing a hat trick hence most of my stake is on top 2 .
5 of his 7 career wins have been at Marseille.
As I type he is as low as 11-10 on the french pmu betting to win !! And 7-2 on bet365
Did nt see that one I’m on it for name sake alone I’ve done each way on a 7/2 many a time you still get 60% of your money back if it loses better than nothing at all if you go for the straight win . Had ceDAR creek yesterday at 12/1 purely a name sake bet but a win is a win even if it is a pure stab in the dark
Did nt even make the places 😂 going to be one of those days I think . I did a dog before I left the bookies that came in think that’s going to be my only winner today ha

Clonshire river 3-20 naas 🇮🇪
11-2 top 2 finish bet365.
The Elliot favourite is 1-5 and barring a fall will surely win .
Of the other 3 the 2nd favourite has been dumped by Mullins and not ran for a while and my pick and the other one are not going to win at Cheltenham anytime soon 😂.
At 11-2 worth a shout as it’s a case of who is the best of the worst 3 to follow fatty Elliott’s horse home.
Footy now ⚽.
Good luck with yer bets 🏇
3-10 not 3-20
