The latest Investing Matters Podcast episode with London Stock Exchange Group's Chris Mayo has just been released. Listen here.
Thanks York he made a race ending mistake at Cheltenham but other than that I can't beleive he went off 20/1 I'd have had him half that. Often races are built up as duels but sometimes its just not the case eg Ahoy Senor couple of weeks ago. It was Envoi Allen vs Monkfish last year at Punchestown and no one was talking about Colreevy pays to swim against the tide sometimes.
Today 17.20 JOURNEY WITH ME 8/1 17.55 MINELLA INDO and GALVIN 6/1 18.30 REDEMPTION DAY 10/1 19.05 ANNAMIX 10/1 and DISCORDANTLY 12/1 GLA :)
Looking for a bit of value at Punchestown 16.15 MIGHTY POTTER 12/1 17.25 ENVOI ALLEN 12/1 Tall ask but 2nd run off a wind op and better ground. 18.35 LIFETIME AMBITION 9/1 GLA :)
Mine today 15.00 GREANETEEN 6/4 15.32 STREETS OF DOYEN 10/1 DOMAINE DE LISLE 20/1 GLA :)
Cheers Harry. My 3 for the Irish National 17.00 VELVET ELVIS 16/1 FAKIR DALENE 25/1 CHAMPAGNE PLATINUM 40/1 GLA :)
15.10 DINOBLUE 6/1 GRANGEE 7/1 16.55 RIVIERE DETEL 12/1 on Exchanges. Shes been touched off in 2 Grade 1s this year upped in trip today might be her day. GDC will be very difficult to beat but favs have awful record in this race (1 winner in last 10 years) several of those trained by Mullins. GLA :)
15.14 SOAPY STEVENS and STATE OF BLISS 12/1 16.50 LA PRIMA DONNA 11/1 HEIA 20/1 Happy Easter everyone GLA :)
One for today 14.05 SIMPLY THE BETTS 4/1 GLA :)
Thanks all the winner had been on my radar since last October he was given a couple of questionable rides as favourite and the trainer has gained a reputation for being very shrewd I thought he was being targeted at something it was just what when he was sold to the Waley Cohens that was what made it clear. A good 2nd at Wetherby behind Ahoy Senor was a big clue and look how that worked out on Thursday. I got 80/1 on the exchanges GLA:)
Not to be today on the whole but still got Ahoy Senor good to see him come back to form at Aintree. Looking at a few at prices tomorrow.
13.45 EMITOM 40/1 Wasn't beaten far by Champ in Grade 1 Novice Hurdle over course and distance a few years ago. Rachael Blackmore booked and has come down the weights a little for handicap debut POUNDING POET 25/1
14.25 STAGE STAR 11/1 3rd in Aintree Bumper last year ELLE EST BELLE 11/1 finished ahead of Three Stripe Life in last year's Champion Bumper.
15.00 THIRD TIME LUCKI 5/1
15.35 SIRE DU BERLAIS 20/1 Bit of a wildcard but he's very lightly raced for a 10 year old. He was badly hampered at Cheltenham in the Pertemps so I don't think he's had a hard race. He was beaten in last year's Stayers by 3 lengths by Flooring Porter but interesting JP goes in double handed. Few of these will have had hard seasons.
16.15 EXCELERATOR EXPRESS 33/1 Form of last start reads well but couldn't come from behind at Chepstow that day HOLLOW GINGE 33/1 Bits of form around Aintree and handicapper has relented.
Most of these have bits of form at Aintree and many haven’t run at Cheltenham which means hopefully they are abit fresher and have been targeted at meeting
17.15 Mine for again for Grand National
TWO FOR GOLD 50/1
SANTINI 50/1
DE RASHER COUNTER 40/1
NOBLE YEATS 50/1
Have a great day everyone

14.20 AUCUNRISQUE 14/1
14.55 AHOY SENOR 5/1
15.30 HITMAN 11/1 CAPTAIN GUINNESS 11/1 I like seeing horses going up in trip for the first time at Aintree I don't know if its something that has proven profitable over the years
16.05 SENIOR CITIZEN 14/1 PINK EYE PEDRO 20/1 SNUGSBOROUGH HALL 33/1 Keeping it simple last years 234 course form invaluable in races like this over the National fences.
16.40 BOWTOGREATNESS 20/1 Lots of big priced winners in this race over the years including Ahor Senor last year at 66/1 stepping up in trip for the first time and my beloved Thistlecrack GLA :)

NOBLE YEATS 50/1
GLA :)
Well done Harry 1-2 for Christian Williams he sure knows haw to train those staying chasers. Would like to see Kittys Light run at Sandown in 3 weeks after unlucky not to win last year but we'll see. Think the bookies at Ayr will be walking home later after this weekend GLA :)
Mine tomorrow 14.25 BARICHELLO 8/1 ALQAMAR 12/1 15.35 ONE MORE FLEURIE 20/1 tomorrow hopefully quite keen on this one JERSEY BEAN 25/1 COURT MASTER 40/1 Let’s get some money in the kitty for Aintree. I’ll back CHARGE IT 3/1 Stateside tomorrow evening also 23.38 if your still up GLA :)
3 winners in Meydan including Frankie winning the big one although the trainer has been mired by controversy recently. Also worth noting if you’d had £10 on each on my selections at Betfair SP compared to Industry SP you’d have been £115 better off the Japanese horse that dead heated went off 15/1 compared to 8/1 quite a difference GLA :)
Thanks 20york. The flat is back tomorrow well until it disappears again for a month. Some of the races tomorrow look open so going to back a couple in each race. Bit scattergun but have been having some success in Australia on the flat. Irish Lincoln has 27 runners so backing three I'm OK with like the Melbourne Cup can still make profit in a big field.
