Alan Thomson is sweet on an Irish raider at Kelso on a good Saturday of Racing
Kelso 3.15
THE SHUNTER (3.15) can plunder the juicy £47,000 pot up for grabs in the bet365 Morebattle Hurdle at Kelso.
Irish horses could run riot (again) at the upcoming Cheltenham jamboree and Emmet Mullins is putting down a pre-Festival marker for the Emerald Isle by sending over his useful eight-year-old against 13 rivals.
The Shunter took full advantage of his light weight to beat brave Ballyandy in the Greatwood Hurdle at Cheltenham in mid-November and is only 7lb higher today on the back of a third over fences at Leopardstown four weeks ago.
Dan Skelton’s Faivour is a most progressive six-year-old, winning three of his last four starts, but the handicapper has hiked him up 12lb for edging out Minella Drama at Haydock.
Christopher Wood has been raised 7lb for landing the Scottish County Hurdle at Musselburgh and may have trouble confirming places with runner-up Voix Du Reve.
Kelso 1.30
The Skelton team strip MY DROGO (1.30) in the 2m 2f novices’ hurdle and the warm favourite had subsequent Betfair Hurdle winner Soaring Glory well held in third when winning at Ascot before Christmas.
Paul Nicholls launches another cross-border raid and Lucky One thumped Natural History by 20 lengths at Wincanton.
The runner-up came out to land the odds at Plumpton earlier this week, so the form is solid.
Lucky One was 12 lengths adrift of re-opposing Any News at Cheltenham in December, so has something to find with Neil Mulholland’s gelding, while Bareback Jack is unbeaten in four starts for Donald McCain.
Kelso 2.40
The bet365 Premier Chase over 2m 7f sees recent Warwick protagonists Two For Gold and Aso locking horns again in a cracking contest.
CLOTH CAP (2.40) has been raised 12lb for his impressive Ladbrokes Trophy triumph at Newbury but should be in the firing line sporting the Trevor Hemmings colours, which are also worn by Lake View Lad.
The latter was just too quick for Santini and Native River at Aintree when fences in the home straight were omitted due to the low sun.
Lake View Lad got bogged down last time at soggy Sandown and has been eased 5lb. Last year’s winner Definitly Red adds further lustre to the race.
Doncaster 3.30
CANELO (3.30) makes plenty of appeal for JP McManus and Alan King in the 3m 2f Virgin Bet Grimthorpe Handicap Chase at Doncaster.
A dual winner already this winter, at Aintree and Wetherby, Canelo was not disgraced when filling third spot behind Takingrisks and Aye Right here in the Sky Bet Chase 35 days ago.
Chidswell, winner of this race two years ago, is one to consider at bigger odds.
Newbury 1.15
At Newbury, PRESENT MAN (1.15) can give Bryony Frost a great spin in the 3m 2f BetVictor Veterans’ Handicap Chase. The top weight goes well fresh and kicked off the current campaign with a victory over Crosspark at Chepstow.
He wasn’t so good on his next two starts, at Wincanton and Warwick, but takes on slightly inferior opposition off a nice break.
Sir Ivan, third to Seeyouatmidnight at Sandown, may be the one to beat.
Hi,
Can admin assist to let me know if (alanm) is a vip member?
He used to post on daily couple of years ago but nothing in recent times.
Any information would be appreciated
Mint…
Hi @mint,
alanm still has an active membership on the site but from what I can see hasn’t posted since April 2019.
Christ that man could tip horses! Nap/nb was usually bang on the money! Alanm was one off the best on here. Not knocking any1 else. But he was a weapon
Thanks Admin,
Hope he reads this and post’s again, also keen to ask him about crypto currency XRP!
Get in touch alanm
Mint…
Some of you may recall a member called @stewpotgray who frequented the racing thread and interacted with some of you here as recently January, sadly his son has been in touch in to let us know that Stewart passed away last month.
Thoughts are with his family and friends.
Rest in peace, Stewart.
Sad to hear that! All my best to his family he was one of the good guys on here n in life I’m sure!
Darian..R7 Fair Grounds. EVS (*****)
How this ex Gosden horse,a 4.5 mill Guineas buy and brother to Too Darn Hot didn’t win last time was a disgrace by the jockey I’d say. It was clearly the best horse. The Ex UK goes again in a ever so slightly tougher race but is a class apart and with that last run under its belt and the semi poor racing tomorrow it’s my only bet.
“ all over this like a lampshade!” GL all 🇺🇸🐎
GL all
❤️❤️stew and the family 👍top man
Another mad bet at 150/1. Just spotted this for saturday, Newbury 4.15. Charlie’s Glance. This is what it said in the write up.
Makes plenty of appeal on pedigree, from a family of chock-full of national hunt winners. The trainer is 1-2 in bumpers this season, needs treating with some respect.
Sounds good to me😁
All over it like a blood hound sir !
Pete.

Charlie’s Glance is 20/1 now. Bookies offering me £10 cash out for my £2 ew at 70/1😄
Thanks Pete backed Charlie’s glance 66-1 0.50 ew thank you
Glad I managed to chip in with at least one haha, red infantry 8/1
Dazzman1979 it’s all about Darian and I REALLY can’t see EVS lasting long but then the last time it was 7/1(I got 5s?) and it went off at 2/5 only to get going to late.
Different jockey(never heard of him) who’s good stat wise so hopefully different result as it’s being aimed at “big things” whatever that means from Brad Cox? Sounds good!
So HARD to get ANY info on Fair Grounds??
Darian is like a ghost!
Anyone any help it be nice.
Cheers 👍
5:15 Doncaster- rattle owl – 10/1

You know it makes sense……
I wonder if anyone put the big ones into an accumulator jeez that’s some payday !
Yeah well done mate. Glad everyone got a piece of the action🍾🍾🍾😊
Cheltenham only 10 days away now,
It’s a bit more murky not knowing if Elliott horses are going to be re-homed in time.
Only one I fancy strongly is thyme hill in the stayers hurdle and though some are underwhelmed by al boum photo, he has won 2 gold cups irrespective of the opposition, as you guys know course form is a big plus at cheltenham.
Thyme hill 3-1
Al boum photo 7-2
2 singles and double …..
Elvis the majority of the Elliot stable wont be moving anywhere Denise Foster has taken over the licence temporarily.
Yeah, and Gordon won’t be keeping tabs on things will he 😅😅😅😅
load of rubbish today for me apart from Pete’s tip only got 25/1 but kept me up on the day Thanks Gateacre Pete
Even 25/1 is pretty dam good you don’t get many of those very often come in as a single
Well done everyone today. Hope you all got something back. Cheltenham coming up soon. Bring it on! 🐴
Watch those bookies don’t send a hitman out to come and get you haha
Zahirah at 10/1 in the lucky last looks value for a place at least Southwell 8-30
4th I’ll leave the e/W shouts to Pete the master
😄😄😄
