ANTE-POST BETDAQ JOY FOR SHAMROCK: Though the Irish won only one race on Day One at Cheltenham, Shamrock wisely saved it for his nap, Quevega (WON 4-7), and today seems to have plenty of ‘overs’ on his Betdaq ante-post bets.
HARRY THE VIKING and FOUR COMMANDERS (1.30): I’m only a traitor to the home country when I can get value for money on Betdaq. I believe I did that with Harry The Viking ante-post.
And I’m redeeming myself with an each-way bet in the same race on Mouse Morris’s Four Commanders: 13.0 this morning, crying out for this longer trip, and with Nina Carberry taken to beat her old rival, Katie Walsh on Soll.
SOUS LES CIEUX (2.05) My real inspiration was to take 13.5 ante-post for the Neptune about Sous Les Cieux, who is 7.2 at the time of writing, nearly doubling my potential return.
FIRST LIEUTENANT (2.40): I’m staying with Mouse Morris, as this one is likely to be suited by the drying ground, but the 6.4 when he’s up against Grands Crus and Bobs Worth is not value. So each way.
SIZING EUROPE (3.20): Unless he has an off-day, Sizing already has the measure of this field and must be the nap to get our first big trophy of the meeting in the cabinet.
SILVERHAND (4.00): Ran well in this race two years ago, despite a lay-off and has had this as his sole target so, though eight now, the grey is lightly raced.
GORGEOUS SIXTY (4.40): This is the buzz this morning! Willie Mullins has always known this one needs a sound surface. Get on!
MOSCOW MANNON (5.15): Can we have our bumper back please? Moscow Mannon, sandwiched between his English rivals in the market, has won on a sound surface and has the big Irish cheer behind him. And he’s got a man on board!
