Racing - Saturday 31st March

Ascot 3:05
Boychuk 4/6
Gentleman Jimmy 9/2
Always Waining 9/2

Gentleman Jimmy always seems well backed. He jumped badly when I backed him at Ascot last time, but he does have a big weight advantage. I can't get excited but may dabble late on.


Ascot 4:15
Bishops Bridge 5/1
Tamarinbleu 6/1
Bohemian Spirit 7/1
Kalca Mome 16/1
Magic Sky 16/1
Misty Dancer 16/1

A right bunch of dodgepots (and I'd include Tamarinbleu in that). Bishops Bridge is solid, but at the prices yet again I'm rowing in with Bohemian Spirit. He has collected once this year, but cost me others. Rose Davidson always likely to pull defeat out of the claws of victory as well, so will also find an ew double.

Bohemian Spirit 5pts win at 14/1 (12/1 ok).


Ascot 5:25
Warningcamp 4/1
Motorway 6/1
Predator 11/1
Earth Man 11/1
Romany Prince 20/1
First Row 20/1

The front two look unexposed and fresh and that's good enough for me to at least play late on them both.


Newcastle 3:55
Rio Riva 7/1
Gentlemans Deal 7/1
Very Wise 11/1
Tanzanite 11/1
My Paris 16/1
Raptor 20/1
Bolodenka 20/1
Crooked Throw 20/1
Granston 20/1
Rain Stops Play 20/1
Zero Tolerance 33/1
Yarqus 33/1
Blythe Knight 33/1

Typical Lincoln. I've been with Pricewise in being all over Rio Riva for this ante post (16s and down). And despite worries about the draw I'm still keen. 8s is still fair if you missed bigger so I'll put up a mythical 5 pointer.

Rio Riva 5pts win at 8/1
