I struggled to find much ew value today Col4.45H Little India has good form here, trainer and jockey in decent form, 2nd last time he was here over C&D at 22/1. Currently trading at around 11/1, seems to have a decent EW chance.
5.40W Walk On Walter. Trainer/Jockey in good form. runs well after a break (despite the RP suggesting otherwise), form after a break of 6 weeks plus reads 2111, he's won and placed in better races than this. This is the EW bet of the day for me, currently 18/1 at Coral, 16's most other places.
I'll be doing an EW double on the 2 above, if the first fails to get a place, then will do an EW single on Walk on Walter.
Doing these 2 below to make up the lucky 15.
2.35N Ecclesiastical (irish racing urgghh) anyway, 2nd in its last 3 races, makes handicap debut today, got knocked all over at the start in his last race and would have won if not for that, looks like a low enough mark to at least get a place, jockey and trainer in ok form, currently 25/1 in places, or (what I'll be doing) 20/1 for 5 places.
2.15H Brutalab, has easily got the form to win this, Ella's a decent apprentice jockey, nothing else in the race really stands out. At the prices available for all the runners, I think this is the best value in the race by far. Currently 12/1 most places.
In the 3.15H I think Mountain Peak should win easily, but as theres only 6 runners and it's only around 7/2, left it out the L15.
Good luck today
I changed my bet a bit and did a double on Brutalab and Walk on Walter instead of what I initially put, I might be out around the time of the last one, so may nip in and stick a bet on in the bookies.I struggled to find much ew value today Col

Seems to be some gambles going on today
Massive gamble taking place on Swaffham Bulbeck in the 5.50C, was 14's last night, now down to 11/4 in places
1.45C Passthecourvoisier 11/1 into 7/2
3.45C Possible Ambition opened 6's in places, now 15/8
yep, outstanding day hahaSome shocking results there Col
I was just in time to get this on for this eveningyep, outstanding day haha
Its a chill day for me so I may have a slygo on the irish racing this evening tooUnlikely to have a bet today as got loads to do, however one that caught my eye was John Kirkup in the 2.40. loves soft, the softer the better. There was a lot of rain about yesterday, so have a feeling the track might run softer than expected. The favourite in the race (Zim Baby) seems to prefer good or better.
I have the two dangers as Tommy G and Devil's Angel, who both like slower going, but Tommy G seems to be better over 5f, and Devil's Angel seems to get held up, and usually fails to go past the leader, even though he looks like he will 1f out. Not sure hold up tactics are best on soft/heavy ground here. John Kirkup is usually ridden just off the pace, picking up in the final furlong or so, and as long as he is ridden the usual way, and the ground is slower than expected, then fully expect him to win.
I think JK will take it up in the last furlong, Devil's Angel chasing him, and Tommy G back in third
Hasty Sailor is coming in for some backing so it must be in with a decent shout. 2nd day in a row where a meeting has been abandoned and just as my bets where warming up! There are some big fields in both Ireland and Stratford tomorrow so I'll be doing my usual ew bets at those two placesQuick EW Lucky 15 for tonight

Yes I've wound my neck in too except for when there is a big meeting and/or I'm being idolI only put it on for an interest then had to go out and missed all the races, back in time for the last. I really should just stick to backing my main selection of the day.
Like today, I added the 2 extras to try and get the forecast and tricast and a big payout, but I was convinced it should have been favourite and couldn't understand why it was 9/2. If anything that puts me off as I think I've missed something.Yes I've wound my neck in too except for when there is a big meeting and/or I'm being idol
Looking at the results I'm pleased I didn't put a bet on this evening after allLike today, I added the 2 extras to try and get the forecast and tricast and a big payout, but I was convinced it should have been favourite and couldn't understand why it was 9/2.
