my selections today outside the box! Gold Cup Friday

1.30 – this is a notorious race for upsets in the past and there is a very tight market again today – thoughts must include Tizzards animal Third Intention who looked classy and must be placed – has improved with each run – speed figures suggest Local hero can run at a big price having already beaten Tizzard horse here and there is a host of improvers including Zakandar  but – pin job  race really  

2.05 another really tight handicap and Alarazi for me for a small bet to win this the way it won at sandown can see it collecting the bonus and an attractive 8s it really is a top lil animal who was only btn a short head here on g/soft

2.40 am scared that the Henderson yard isn’t firing and though Bobs Worth has all the aces in Vfb its the yard form that worries so have taken a chance on another sandown winner in Kilcrae Kim An Irish point winner and successful on his first three starts over hurdles at up to 2m6f, he was beaten off this mark over 3m at Cheltenham last time. Dropping back in trip, he travelled well and, after going on two out, found more when challenged after the last. He continues on the way up, and he is likely to take his chance in the Albert Bartlett, although the Coral Cup looked a feasible alternative. The fact has stuck with this race will do for me

3.20 gold Cup – think have said it all in the earlier post my money is on an upset in the race and its wide open – the old brigade have too many question marks and a newcomer will make them all go hope that long Run will repeat his performances round here and the Henderson yard this week does not bode well – Midnight Chase am already on and has its ground – big run from Weird Al cannot be ruled out either and have taken an eachway bet on China Rock who has the best improving Profile  so in running watch recommended

This is a very strange Gold cup guys – Have to say it only comes round once a year and I have the youngsters running for me

4.00 the foxhunters – liked the way that Gentle George ran in this race last year this year has been well beaten By both Sericina (fell here when going well)and Herons well – will be looking for a market move on any of these but heart says the improver will be Gentle George

 Good luck all
