Onelife’s Saturday bankers,
With the National fences being used in the 2.40 Aintree it is as it has always been a case of pays your money and hope for the best…that being said, the fences are nothing like what they used to be so most have a fair chance of getting round…especially as they only have to go round once.
It won’t be easy finding the winner with just 4 betting fractions separating the first 6 in the betting.
Well in for a penny in for a pound I’m going to side with “Johnnywho” who is carrying top weight but is doing so because he is deemed the best horse in the race on what he has achieved thus far.
Some will recall that I had a couple of winners a week or so back, both of which are running again at Doncaster tomorrow…I can’t find little reason why both shouldn’t run well again albeit that Lord Bertie is up in grade from his recent runs but the way he ran in his last race would suggest he’s capable of putting in a good show.
As for Lir Speciale this is going to be tougher but with a decent 7lb claimer onboard he should be thereabouts.
My last selection runs at Wolverhampton…Now my good mate Pompey thinks Epictetus is a donkey, and to be fair on his recent runs I’m inclined to agree with him, however, I haven’t lost faith in this horse even though it owes me a few quid…If he shows anything like the form I know he is capable of then he could be a handicap good thing…..and Pompey, I can do without the “I told you so’s” if this doesn’t prove to be the case.
Wolverhampton 6.30 Epictetus £10 win
Doncaster 11.17 Lir Speciale £5 win
2.35 Lord Bertie £5 win
Aintree 2.40 Johnnywho £5 win
although reality kicking in says it won't have a chance
