Jaysus, we can nearly the light at the end of the tunnel with this mental race meeting. Firstly, I must give my apologies for sleeping off yesterday's column and send my thanks to the tireless Pajo for taking my notebook from my comatose body and putting sense around my Tuesday tips. Not that they were worth anything mind. After my Que Vega five-in-a-row came through, I spent most of Monday and Tuesday in a state of mild delirium. The representative of Zara Phillips even stopped by to pass on her congratulations. When you're good, you're good.
Now onto another banker. Pont Alexandre may have shite in a bucket yesterday, but it's hard to go against Dynaste. The sun's out today, he's got an almighty kick and loves a chase. A sneaky fiver on him to win the Gold Cup in 2014 wouldn't go astray either.
I like Mouse's fella First Lieutenant in the Ryanair. Like it's O'Leary's horse in O'Leary's race. I'm not saying there's anything nefarious at play, but fate knows a good story when he sees it.
The World Hurdle is wide open but loads of people around hear are talking up Solwhit. That's all I say.
If you're made for Dynaste, you might as go mad for DAvid Pipe and back Ballynagour in the 16.00. Big day for the family.
My friends at Ladbrokes also want you to know that there's money back as free bets up to €20 if your pony is beaten by a length or less. There's also money back as a free bet up to €25 in the World Hurdle if you're beaten into 2nd place. So betting with them is common sense, like.
