Dutch at Aintree was slight profit for me. did anyone spot the 16/1 system bet – Pipers Legend- 20/1 into 12/1 came 2nd to hot pot Ignotus. Pity I persuaded myself against Pertemps Network, another price gapper winning at 9/4
Some nice results in the footy with Portsmouth scoring the first goal for a smooth as you like trade. Despite the scorline a nice trade in the Sunderland Fulham match with the nders price reducing dramatically 1st half from 1.75 to about 1.25 before the goal -no excuses not to trade out there.

Again Arsenal and Liverpool consented to score either side of half time making for another nervous 2nd half for unders backers.

Comprehensive victory for Villa and a decent enough payout. Well done King kev for another 3 goals and overs coming in ( you could have easily traded out after the first goal).

Well Inverness did win, but not in both halves. No joy with the Milan dutch -guess the sequencing aspect was more prominent.

HEXHAM – SOFT GROUND

Possible price gapper in reckless venture in the first but soft ground is offputting

BETTING FORECAST: 5/4 Washington Irving, 5/2 Unwritten Rule, 9/2 Dirar, 6/1 Houston Dynimo, 12/1 Hindu Kush, 16/1 Chevie.

big talking horse from Ballydoyle – Washington Irving worth support

MARKET RASEN begins with a lady riders selling handicap hurdle – hmmmm!

BETTING FORECAST: Evs Sindanna, 5/1 Jenny Potts, 10/1 Falcons Theatre,  Mansonn Leda,  My Lady, 12/1 Kay For Karbia, 16/1 Rothres, 20/1 Petit Fleur, 25/1 Jane Doe,  Verannika, 33/1 Almond Court

SPOTLIGHT VERDICT: SINDANNA, whose powerful stable does well in bumpers, sets the standard on her Huntingdon runs and should be good enough unless one of the newcomers proves useful.

Price gapper in a bumper – I must be mad! I’ll give Sindanna a chance but will monitor the market nearer the off incase of any market movers

Reliance on Aiden OBrien today – hope it pays off!

FOOTY
Onform, this should be simple for Man Utd away to Boro , the latter have nothing to play for, the former have everything to play for.  Over 2.5 goals and Man utd/Man utd ; draw/united half time full time.
What chance Ronaldo scoring again? Worth a speculative punt surely?

Everton look readily up to the task against a doomed Derby – 1-0, 2-1, 2-0 for me correct scores.

Cardiff v Barnsley – under 2.5 goal trade given the game type? Looks worthy of a neutral bet to me.
With Celtic slipping up yesterday Rangers at 4/6 looks quite enticing BT does tell you it’ll be a tough game and no gimme.
