LANARKSHIRE lad Alan King loves to target Ayr's Grand National fixture and he has prospects of an opening-day double with MAJOR DUNDEE (4.27) and DIDONATO (2.40).
A competitive three-mile handicap hurdle brings down the curtain on an excellent day's racing and although Major Dundee is lumbered with top weight, he is up only 2lb for his impressive Chepstow success on good ground.
King has high hopes for Didonato in the three-mile mares’ handicap hurdle. The six-year-old won nicely at Doncaster in November and returned from a 96-day break to pick up the winning thread again at Ludlow last month. Dan and Harry Skelton field recent Hereford scorer Global Harmony, still well enough treated off a 3lb higher mark, while title-chasing rival Brian Hughes has been booked for Irish challenger Lily’s Gem.
Skelton has a gilt-edged chance on lightly-raced DEFINING BATTLE (3.50), runner-up to Camprand at Taunton (pair clear). The winner travelled strongly before being outpointed close home by Rowland Ward at Aintree last week, so the form is rock-solid. Hughes has picked up the ride on Rose Dobbin’s Wetherby maiden hurdle winner Fete Champetre, while 2019 Scottish Champion Hurdle runner-up Dino Velvet, Theatre Legend and Torigni, third in the Scottish County Hurdle at Musselburgh, all have leading claims in a cracker.

Very nice start! Don’t know how you pick em dazzman, but I’m glad that you do. 👌
Cheers dazman 👍👍
Thanks 👍hopefully one or 2 of the others come in as well for a bit of money to do it all again 2 Moro haha
Gutted about mill berry coming second , it drifted to 18/1 would of made for a great day but it was worth chancing definitely risk vs reward . Let’s hope 2 Moro is more prosperous!
Super Yankee Doodle Dandy and 2x singles tonight…
Only 2 from my tracker and ones odds on so after much deliberation…
Oaklawn-R4…Reason To Soar(*** Consitent and won nicely with same jockey stalking perfectly to get up by 2l)
Gulfstream-R7…Drop Anchor 2/1(**** Won for me then 2nd,then won then 2nd so this consistent sort and didn’t get a start last time out)
Delta -R4..Pound For Pound. 6/4
R8…Itsnotmyjob. 10/11(Really should win but no price for a single)
Kneeland -R9….Costantana. 6/4.
GL all 🐎🇺🇸😉
Great Start and Cavani first scorer! 😉
Itsnotmyjob…8/13 with Skybet now but drifting to 11/10 with Bet365 who I’ve the bet on with??
Dared to dare the American dream?
Would you believe I’ve backed 4 winners in between races at!? £2/3 stakes for some interest but the odds on favourite goes off at 1/2 and lets me down fir the Whitehouse!
£115 an change back and 2x main singles + landed….I’d take that all day everyday
Onwards….
Nice work YANK MAN ! 😀
Lol. Cheers Dazzman,oh so close!
Just need to smash it today then nail it tonight!
Simple! 😉
Well done to all the winners yesterday.
Machree 5.40 Bath has won on his second outing for the last 3 years. Its his 2nd outing today and at 40/1, he’s worth an eachway punt. Paying 4 places bet365 GL
Pete with this being a listed race Machree is terribly in at the weights but good luck
Yeah Debs you’re right, but I’m thinking more for a place as this might be the best time to catch him. Ew extra paying 28s down to 7th place😊
Well done everyone who found winners.
One winner a three 2nds for me yesterday.
2:15 Newbury – Australis * each way punt * 11/1
3:00 Fontwell – Ocean Cove *** NAP *** 6/5
3:50 Ayr – Dino Velvet – ** NB ** 5/1
BOL
Tis marvellous 1-40 Newbury.
6-1 and 5-4 top 3 finish.
Tis marvellous/garrus reverse forecast.
I’m going to give it a gamble after all that’s what we are here for but got a bad feeling any royal runner might win today to cheer the queen up a bit ha
Think my trackers got mixed up with a horse in Australia with a US horse by the same name(it happens) but had a good look and it’s certainly in with a chance at 6.50. Only a few $s.
Toowomba -R1…Laurie(**) 🇦🇺
Trixie and a single for me…
Came From The Dark…1.40. 11/4
Almighwar…2.15. 5/2(****)
Dingle…2.50. 9/2

I/3 in my Trixie,as much use as tit$ on a fish.
Trixie and 2 singles
Aquaduct-R5…Malibu Pro..4/5(****)
Gulfstream R4….Exact. 6/4
Kneeland-R9 Speech. 2\1(**)
GL in a rush but working
To late for changes now with the price changes but
Senora Roma -R8 kneeland 5/1(*****)
Completely forgot it him,busy in work!
Trixie turning into a patent of sorts now! Lol
Back home and explanations for my picks after Exact starting of disappointing but he wasn’t a single and bet accordingly of course!
*Speech*
last seen finishing 6l behind Gamine at Breeders Cup who came out and walked it last month and this trainer has a good record with horses from a break,admittedly I don’t think I’ve heard of the jockey so hopefully a steering job and been hammered to 6/4
Kneeland-R8…Senora Roma. 5/1(*****)
Brave for a 5 star bet but so impressive in his last run in a race that’s on par with this I think it’s just Wesley Wards horse and this slightly smaller stable being overlooked.
GL all and well dine the winners
Hmmm….jockey on Malibu Pro(never my fabut gets too rides) never drew the whip ounce on a horse leading going into the straight there and just seemed to do….ah f#@k all!
He should have and I don’t go about shouting shenanigans at any old thing but that was strange??
Onwards…
*(never my favourite but gets top rides
Proof read Recoba! Lol
So socksy 7-20 Exeter 9-4.
This race is as bad as it gets, jeez, all 4 could lose this.
Odds on favourite doesn’t merit being 4-9 though it’s such a bad race it could win by half a mile.
So socksy at least won last time out in December though has not ran under rules but the favourite has but ran poorly.
Farraway boy 7-30 ballinrobe
33-1 ew extra 7 places
50p ew at 100-1 😂 4 places @ Paddy power 😂.
Came 7th of 15 on debut, similar here will do.
Nothing scientific here, it’s poor quality stuff and no point getting all scientific 💉💉💉💉
Forgot to say so socksy gets a stone off the favourite with the riders claim..
A question…
If none finish the race what happens to the prize money ??.
Can’t remember a race where none finished.
Once I recall a walk over where the runner unseated, but the jock got back on and finished.
🏇🏇🏇🏇
Socksy still running ❌
Farrawaybay scrapes into 7th 😁
Thought you would of gone e/w extra on millberry I know you like a bit of that action 😁
I just saw him run up my road haha i😂
Race 6 – delta downs – Lanape drive – 15/2
