The jump season is in full flow, this weekend we have a utopia of excellent racing some of the creme de la mont go to post here and I'm very much looking forward to it!.
I'll start at Newbury...
1.30 Newbury 2m 6f Handicap Chase
Strange contest to pick out and start my blogg with and these certainly are no world beaters but even so a very interesting handicap. OUR ISLAND sticks out here at an each way price and could take all the beating. When you delve into the form it won a novices hurdle race at Newbury back in February of this year, showing an excellent gutsy performance in which he stayed on in the finish. I believe this horse is now fitter after it's very credible 2nd at Exeter last time out and although it is top weight I can see it being prominent, will jump consistently as its shown in the past and will get the trip when some in this race maybe floundering. OUR ISLAND a solid each way bet.
2.05 Gerry Fielden Handicap Hurdle 2m 110y
A cracking renewal, we have some very progressive types in this race and I believe the weight distribution will also play a hand. However, I'mstill very keen on ROCK ON RUBY although carrying top weight is undoubtedly the classier of all the horses. ROCK ON RUBY if fit and well for his first start out this season will take all the beating. Another huge positive is it's run in the Neptune Hurdle at Cheltenham back in March, only losing by a shy head this horse has proved it on the biggest stage and was so unlucky to lose narrowly on that day. I'm a huge fan of this horse and it still has scope to improve.
3.10 Hennessy Gold Cup 3m 2f
Hennessy Gold Cup, always an exciting race and again this year a very competitive proposition. I'm hunting for the value but also a jumper who will get the trip, enjoy the ground and pace of this galloping race and be able to jump consistently and convincingly. To start I'm tipping three here as they are hard to split and it's important to mention I'm struggling to be committed to just one horse here. Any how BESHABAR Tim Vaughan's trained horse is an absolutely cracking horse, loves top of the ground and will love this stamina sapping test. The trainer has always been very excited about this horses future and is it any wonder. The progress it made last season and the way it runs points to a horse that can gallop, jump and will always try in the finish and is just an out and out stayer. BESHABAR cracking each way value. GREAT ENDEAVOUR this grey showed tremendous promise from its last run at Cheltenham, it is undeniable when you see how it ran in that race just how good this horse could potentially be, I also believe that Timmy Murphy is the most understated jock out there, he rode an absolute cracker and with David Pipes horses in tremendous order you would be stupid not to have a few quid on this horse. Finally, CARRUTHERS this could be the each way steal of the race. Another horse that will love the trip and looks like the ground wont be too much of a negative. I also believe that most people have forgotton just how good this horse is. I was impressed by it's last run when it took on Galaxy Rock at Cheltenham, losing that day but was carrying more weight. Off a light weight here could definitely take this coveted prize.
Newcastle 1.10 2m 6f
MISS KALIFA here looks a very good proposition she won easily at Ffos Las and looks a very progressive filly. With a low weight on here back I can see another positive performance, on ground that will suit.
I'm staying clear of the fighting fifth hurdle on the premise that my fingers have been well and truly burnt in the last few seasons so I'll say BINOCULAR but not overly convinced with that horse and never has it really captured my imagination. However Nicky Henederson is in a purple patch of excellent form.
Good luck if your having a punt.
