UK/IRELAND Thursday

Brilliant racing over the jumps..

So have done some selections for Aintree

Race 2 IVANOVICH GORBATOV won the Triumph hurdle at Cheltenham in fine style (trained by Joseph O`brien) been quite a few Triumph winners doubled up in this race in recent years.

Race 3 DON POLI Finished behind Djakadam in the Gold Cup and gets the slightly softer conditions that he prefers today.BUT has Cue Card to beat and if the fall in the Gold Cup never dented his confidence will be hard to stop today

Race 5 ON THE FRINGE will be hard to beat on all known form, won this race last year beating Pacha Du Polder( 5th behind the selection at Cheltenham when very badly ridden)

Going has turned soft

Don Poli might be close with Cue Card now

On the Fringe will prefer the cut

Hope cue card ok and Annie looks certain

ASO EW race 1

HOUBLON DES OBEAUX race 3 ew

R2 Taunton My Anchor E/W. Not expecting him to beat Emerging Talent who will be around a 1/4 shot, but is more than capable of making the first three back on good ground in a race which has no strength in depth. 20/1 is a good E/W price and 3/1 place only with William Hill is much too big.

At 25/1 Red Mohican worth and e/w nibble Southwell 1

How did Apples Jade lose at Cheltenham ?

Wow how impressive was Cue Card, and with a few mistakes

That wws really impressive

Annie Power

Why did the rest even bother?

Love the jumps bookies must be looking forward to flat season

Only 11/10 but Eluthera ran very well over CD the last time
