Sunday - No Selections Just a Nap

Only a nightly nap for Sunday as I'm away from racing, laptop, cyberspace etc.  

To while you time away in between Sunday fry ups, papers and coffee, take a look at Paddy Power v Ruby Walsh and see if you can't find some Cheltenham clues in there somewhere (if you've ever played poker then you'll know what a tell is !!!)


And yes, you will have to rewind it somewhere in the middle to check the question was as you heard it the first time!!


Tim Vaughan has finally taken himself off the colder than the moon list with his first winner in 26 runners....should be on a fast simmer by the 13 March then!


Simonsig is going to the Neptune...which is good because that's what my ap bet is for!  Now if that nice Mr McCain can decide to leave Peddler's Cross in the Jewson so that Al Ferof can beat Sprinter Sacre in the Arkle, then I may become an extremely happy punter like this one:




My Nightly Nap is Ballynonty in the 14:40 at Huntingdon tomorrow.  He's recently joined Ferdy Murphy and UR'd half way through his comeback run under an amateur.  He came within a whisker of winning here the run before that almost three years ago so when partnered by Alex Merriam who takes the ride again today and Alex's 3lbs adds to the already feather weight. 

4th - definitely one to watch out for next time out once Ferdy Murphy has had him a little longer and got him back into shape.


Here's a picture of the place that is Ballynonty courtesy of Peter Mooney Photography rather good horsey photographers (website is well worth a look!)
