Fingal Bay (Pertemps Final), Benefficient (Ryanair), Annie Power (World Hurdle) & Colour Squadron (Byrne Group Plate) carrying my hopes (& cash) today.

Only bet Weds was Faugheen, aside from scattering a few one pound bets around later on.

Yesterday was poor. Staked smallish amounts but got nothing back. Felix Yonger and Benefficient both disappointing E/W. Used Betbright's cash back if your first bet loses and backed Big Buck's, and also backed Annie Power through the RP app (cash back as a free bet if second). Thought one of them woulda got me a profitable payout instead of just a free bet and losing bet cash refund.

To make matters worse I put Ballynagour in my placepot but didn't have a penny on it win or e/w!

So far tomorrow got cash and free bet refund riding on Bobs Worth. Really can't see him losing.
Alongisde Briar Hill, Lac Fontana and Royal Irish Hussar in a lucky 15.

Royal Irish Hussar (plus a saver on Guitar Pete) in the Triumph.

Arctic Fire (County Hurdle), Full Shift (Martin Pipe Hurdle) & Next Sensation (Grand Annual Chase) all backed at fair prices.

Ruby Walsh suffers a suspected broken arm after a fall from Abbyssial in today's opener.

David Casey switches to Arctic Fire in the County Hurdle with Danny Mullins now on Diakali.

David Casey replaces Ruby Walsh on both Briar Hill in the Albert Bartlett and On His Own in the Gold Cup.

Paul Townend also injured in today's opener.

Confidence in Briar Hill tempered slightly by the loss of Ruby but the gelding remains the bet in the Albert Bartlett although Kings Palace is very much respected.

Daryl Jacob injured half an hour after victory on Lac Fontana when Port Melon crashed into a running rail and deposited the jockey onto an adjacent road.

What odds both Briar Hill and Kings Palace failing to complete in the Albert Bartlett?

Can't get away from Bob's Worth for the Gold Cup (biggest bet of the week).
