Well just Punchestown and Perth *grin*

I love the Festival,but it is always tricky lol

Punchestown

2.30 PACOLET is probably better known as a chaser but has some half decent 
hurdling form if you go back far enough,won off this mark in 2006 and is 
also rated a stone better over fences.

3.20 SHAKERVIZ has the form here,improving hoof over hoof of late,is a 
distance winner so trip no problem flws

4.15  Hard to get away fromNEPTUNE COLLONGES  based on the book,but can you 
imagine if BEEF OR SALMON wins this his final race what the roar will be 
like.

4.50 OEDIPE may be one for AP here :-) apart from one blip in the RP Chase 
is in fine fettle and looks better than the rest.

5.25 COUSIN VINNY a Wiinner at Cheltenham and looked bloody good doing it,he 
has a fine opportunity to follow up with another top prize.



Perth

2.45 THE GREAT ALFIE has a decent ew chance here against VON GALEN the 
likely fav.Both have good form reading but the 12lbs TGA receives could make 
the difference.flws

4.30 NIRVANA SWING has the form and of course with Sue Smith the trainer in 
equally good form is a bonus ;-)

well thats it  for now;-)

No bet..had another look and decided there was no real value after all..not 
even mentioned in running,looks like its Belgian Restauran for him.

3rd 3-1 had another look at the latter stages and it did seem to go wrong 
between last two :-(

With all the "its way too short" talk emitting from SEan Boyce ATR and 
Duggan RTE you would think NEPTUNE COLLONGES was a donkey.Won the race as 
easy as you like and so it should have done given its superior form!
At least BEEF OR SALMON did not finish last :-) now the old campaigner can 
retire with honour,and 10 G1s to his name.

I just couldn`t believe the 9-2 about the Champion Bumper !!!!
couldn`t believe it but helped myself *GRIN* Became the first horse to win 
the Chelt and Punch Champion Bumpers in history..took it up off the bend and 
away it went whoosh,won by at least 8 lengths maybe more.Defo in my TTF next 
season lol

Certainly did,stayed on strongly to win well at 7-1,VAN GALEN was 
mysteriously pulled up by Rosey Davidson? Not complaiinng though..

I  didn`t think he would win during the race but once the heat was on he 
came into his own and in the end a worthy winner @ 11-2

hope you all did as well today?

now some Rioja(well some more really lol)and on to tomorrow.
