Easter Monday 18th April

A mixed Bank Holiday, two poor picks at Fairyhouse in the same race where neither of them hurdled with any fluency. The positives were a profit on the day on advised bets due to Il Bandito (WON 11/4) ending a losing run and getting us off the mark for the turf flat season. Rathbone couldn’t follow up in the next race, the blinkers appearing to have a negative effect.

Tuesday 19th April

No bet on Tuesday

I considered both Mokaatil or Recon Mission in the first (1:50) and Soto Sizzler (2:55) but decided against, mainly due to prices.
