I put forward my entries this morning, for a competition i do...

2:40 William Hill Trophy Handicap Chase Grade 3

Wichita Lineman - WIN.

3:20 Smurfit Kappa Champion Hurdle Challenge Trophy Grade 1

Celestial Halo - EW.

4:40 David Nicholson Mares' Hurdle Grade 2

Quevega - WIN.


I only put money on Celestial Halo EW.

Shows that sometimes you can get it right and still get it wrong.

Had a fantastic opening day, with the first two winners and Nenuphar Collonges e/w at a healthy ealry price of 18/1 taken this morning.

Binocular has let me down for a lot of bets to just take the shine off a bit, but thanks to Carney's Pint on here and hearing Willie Mullins on Talksport this morning I backed Quevega in the last in a race I was gonna leave alone.

Only thing is I've had an £80 double with Master Minded tomorrow, so I've £260 going on that at a likely 2/5 - 1/3? Surely that cannot be beaten, I'd be surprised if anything gets within 20 lengths of it to be honest..

May depend who you placed your bet with. Hills, for example, paid 1,2,3,4.

Well done mate.

I had three winners at 9/1, 7/2 and 4/1. Delighted.

As I said, depends who you placed your bet with. Can pay to look for the offers in certain cases.

My Tips for Tuesday ...

Aachen

14:05 Irish Independent Arkle Challenge Trophy Chase (grade 1)
Tatenen (FR)

14:40 William Hill Trophy Handicap Chase (grade 3)
Wichita Lineman (IRE)

15:20 Smurfit Kappa Champion Hurdle Challenge Trophy (grade 1)
Binocular (FR)

16:00 Glenfarclas Handicap Chase (cross Country Chase)
Garde Champetre (FR)

16:40 David Nicholson Mares' Hurdle (grade 2)
Carole's Legacy

Quite a Good Start for me ... Normally my 1st Day is terrible.

Aachen was a NR so i backed Medermit E/W. (2nd)

Tatenen was very disappointing, falling at the 1st as favourite isn't good enough.

Wichita Lineman was my hero of the day ... I was driving at the time and was listening to the radio, cheering my little heart out. Watched it when i got home and ... Wow!

Binocular was a shock but credit to Punjabi .. A Great Race.

Nina Carberry rode superbly on Garde Champetre and pipped L'Ami to victory.

Carole's Legacy didn't perform well and finished in 11th .. Quevega was awesome.

Day 1: 2 Wins , 1 2nd Place and a 3rd.
Finished the Day: + £73

Will Post Tomorrow's Tips Later.

Are doing your Betfair laying off? You will have to explain to me how that works one day.

Laid Binocular, Cousin Vinny, L'Ami and Tatenen today successfully. Also laid Wichita Lineman, which was looking good until McCoy did his stuff (didn't lay it in running, thankfully ).

Considering laying Master Minded too - it's effectively 3/1 to fall or make a serious mistake. However, looking at what's up against it, it could probably fall twice and still get back up to win
