Rizz has been in fantastic form this month, there are no two ways about it. His sole selection on Wednesday was a winning one, with Sacre Coeur making All Under a beautiful front-running ride by Harry Atkins.
Cairnzy's Tips
Sea Presenting 5/2 – Huntingdon 3.15
My sole pick on Thursday is Toby Lawes Sea Presenting, whom I'm willing to give another chance in this company after letting me down a couple of weeks ago.
Some may remember me tipping this horse up at Ludlow a few weeks ago. In that race, she finished a respectable third after being given too much to do at the business end of the contest.
I took on the short-priced favourite in that race (Jasmine Bliss), which was a risk that didn't pay off. She bounced back to form that day after a below-par performance prior, but I think if my selection had been ridden more up with the pace, she could have gone a lot closer.
Nonetheless, my selections form is bang up there with the best on offer, and I'm willing to give her another chance.
Sea Presenting is a lightly-raced horse with only career starts, and there was plenty to like from her from the get-go. Her debut effort saw her finish third in a PTP at the Curraghmore and she followed up the next time out with another encouraging effort to finish third once more and only a length or so behind the eventual winner That's Nice.
The form of that contest could hardly read any better, with That's Nice winning three of her four outings and now rated 126. The second-placed horse (Miss Cynthia) boosted the form when winning yesterday.
I'm hoping jockey Kevin Brogan can learn from his mistakes this time around and ride Sea Presenting more prominently in this contest as a change of tactics. I feel I can see this horse get off the mark.
Brogan isn't in the greatest form at present, with no wins from his last 15 rides. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that he can get one on the board on Thursday with Sea Presenting.
Hi all
Punchestown card is the postponed card from Sunday featuring a Grand National trial where many that ran in the Thyestes line up again.
Very hard to oppose Velvet Elvis based on that result even on revised terms but I’ve always had a small spot for St Denis Well who formed part of the bet I landed over Xmas and never runs a bad race.
He came down 3 out when travelling well lto but has been given time to recover and hopefully can hit the frame today
St Denis’s Well 12/1 ew 5 places
BOL
With the Cheltenham handicap entries now out (overall increase in numbers) I’m going to start dissecting each race purely based on trends and come up with a trend horse for each race.
There are now 13 handicap races in total but some are new or have been changed to handicap e.g. NHC so as there will be no trend history on them I will not be including them.
I will then put 1/2pt on each horse picked for each race (backed on the day of race so sp price) and see if there was a profit made. It will also help for future years as to whether it actually IS worth following them.
I’m currently back in hospital and assume I will be in and out for the foreseeable, but hopefully if I’m strong enough I’m only too happy to carry this out. It will keep my mind occupied.
Thoughts and input from anyone always welcome too
