Istabraq51

I’ve been following horse racing for over 30 years now and although it can be very frustrating at times (most times) but when the betting God’s are on your side it’s great. Although 33/1 shots are fantastic, my idea of value is a winner. I like watching maiden races looking for horses finishing off their races well or being unlucky in running to back next time out also handicappers at favourite tracks, back down to winnable marks with a jockey up who regularly wins for the stable. Racing moto, “The Bad Days make the Good Days Great!”

Three runs to date and could well have got stuck in the mud last time at Leopardstown, has some high profile entries in the future so stable obviously think the horse can deliver, fourth time lucky today on better ground.

I expected Fleetingly to have won last time out at Naas but was headed the last 150 yards that day but this race looks weaker, third time lucky for the selection today.

Unbeaten in two runs last year, Tipperary debut then a group 1 in France. Most of Aidens have needed a run but I'd expect Los Angeles to win this before going on to bigger and better things.

Unbeaten in three runs last year, all at the Curragh. The stable will be hoping this stable star doesn't blow out like city of Troy did recently. Ryan Moore comes over for this one and will go close.

Buttons

-80

Buttons won on debut last season at Leopardstown in June and ran a decent first run this year in a group 3 in heavy ground last month. Looked to need a step up in trip so the extra distance looks the right move here although a further step up in trip will be even better.

Another of Aidan's that looked as if to come on for that first run. I would fully expect to turn form around with Himalayan Heights which finished in front of the selection last time, must go close here.

Went down a short head on debut at the Curragh in April and can go one better now and start what should be a great day for the master of ballydoyle.

Lossiemouth is top class and next years target is the Champion Hurdle and this Mare will give any horse a run for their money including the likes of State Man and the mighty Constitutional Hill, this should be another another walk in the park.

@1.29

Ballyburn could well be the best horse in racing at the minute and is a young horse that should well improve and hopefully be around for a long time for every horse lover to enjoy!

Teahupoo

@1.91

Win

100

Teahupoo proved at Cheltenham that he is the best staying hurdler around at present and should be winning this. Age has probably caught up with Sire Du Berlais and Home by the Lee usually runs a decent race but doesn't win often. Selection should make it 3 from 3 this year.

Doubts hanging over Gaelic Warrior going into Cheltenham but those doubts were put to bed with a fantastic run. Only 3 to be here and it should be a walk in the park.

Gambled on last time out at Wolverhampton and got an absolute shocker of a ride. Course and distance winner 3 times, Charles Bishop rides tonight and should have a great chance of 3lb lower mark from last win.

Good run in a class 3 maiden at Southwell on debut and should come on for that run in a race the stable won last year. Great chance at an each way price.

Ran a cracker at the Cheltenham Festival to notch the hat trick following two good wins at Taunton. Was due to run last week but has waited for this race which looks easier on paper. Form of Cheltenham win has been boosted with the second and fourth coming out to claim grade 1's. Tough to beat with a clear round.

2 from 2 in bumpers so far this season at Carlisle and Doncaster without coming off the bridle. Toughest test to date but worthy favourite. Trevor Hemmings will be shouting this one home from above.

Ran a great race in the national last year and has been targeting another go since then. Got to far back last year and stayed on well so I'd imagine the plan will be to get switched off a little closer to the pace to be produced at the last and steam home for victory.

Backed as if defeat was out of the question at Cheltenham but had to settle for second place staying on all the way to the line so this step up in trip should be just the trick. Great chance

Lost unbeaten run at Cheltenham last month but can get back on the winning trial again here, looked to have stable mate to beat however that one is now a non runner. Great chance.

West Balboa is 2 from 2 at Aintree and the way the early money has pilled in the hat trick seems on the card. Won this race with ease last year and although 6lb higher this time around can go mighty close.
