Great results on Saturday and to quote from Game of thrones - Winter is coming! and with that we will have some of  the best racing for ages as the National Hunt season gets underway  there are some up and coming animals that should see off the old brigade this year - cant wait really

usual monday card today but some animals that attract me mainly Blue Mimosa in the 3.35 at Listowel  under that superbe claimer Samantha Bell - this is indeed a very promising animal only had one run this year where it was given a really easy time of it - true the draw does not help today but Samantha is a very very good judge and i expect it to get a flying start and get across. This animal needs cut and even drying ground wont worry it as it should get no better than g/soft. 

The other is Geanie Mac in the 3.40 1m6f muss card bred from Needwood Blade who throws animals any ground around this staying distance its a horse i really like and its second run for this yard seems to have found the right grade for a race that 3 yr olds have excelled in over the last 10 years and she is the only three year old in it this year - 
 am sure they will both trade around the 10/1 price range and looks like an each way double for me 

 good luck all

well that was a rubbish selections no doubt about it !!!! 
there is one animal that I saw running yesterday that makes me think its got a future -STOLBERG 170912 bumper in atrocious ground - listowel Being ready to win first time augurs well for the future  It was a pretty professional performance as the horse made sustained progress from mid-division to challenge halfway up the straight and find a bit more inside the final furlong. He looked much more of a racehorse than the runner-up and one would imagine there will be plenty more to come. Towards rear, progress from 3f out to go 6th approaching straight, switched left and challenged before final furlong, led far side final 150yds, kept on well 25/1 betfair 16/1 Sp
