Bonjour fellow fish.
Another interesting card Racing wise this weekend, perhaps not with the class of last weekend, but certainly the intrigue.
It would seem logical to start with Racing Post Trophy and so we will. A case could be made for almost all the runners. Form would suggest Casamento, potential might suggest Dunboyne Express, jockey wise you could take Master Of Hounds, while Brian Meehan has an excellent training record in this race and saddles the highly respected Titus Mills. However, I am going to side with highly thought of Native Khan. Ok, he may not have been as concincing as others in the field up until now, but has the ever winner-hungry Paul Hanagan in the driver's seat and could be a huge price at 10-1 with Bet365.
Elsewhere, we'll look at the Old Roan Chase at Aintree. A good quality field this with some old adversaries re-acquainting themselves. It is always difficult to be sure which of these will need the run, and in Tartak, Poquelin and Alberta's Run, we have a trio of strong contenders. Once again though I am going against the grain and with one of my old favourites - the 12 year old Monet's Garden. Always a game animal and winner of this race in 2007 & 2009, he could well take some beating in spite of his advancing years. \only 6 runners, so difficult to make a case for an each way bet. 9-2 with Bet365 seems about right so take the price online and let's hope we have a little drift to 11-2/6s.
Native Khan (2.55 Doncaster) 1 point each way [10-1 Bet365]
Monet's Garden (3.25 Aintree) 1.5 points win [9-2 Bet365]
