Concentrated on a decent card from wincanton , in the 1.10 i wanted to take on the first two in the market hoping that one of the newcomers could prevail, on the face of it they are not going to have to be anything special to beat fredensborg or i,m lovin it , the two coupled are about 11/10 so i lay for £200 . Lead on looked likely to collect coming to the last but unfortunately he fell leaving the race to fredensborg costing me £232.80 , thankfully Lead on got straight up and looked none the worse for the fall . The 2.10 was a 16 runner handicap hurdle with a few runners not proven over the 2m6f trip i wanted to have a interest i backed Flying Forme £50 ew @ 14/1 (bog) and laid three horses in the place market canopus (75@1.71) , cool society (25@3.05) and another burden (25@2.92) whilst in the win market i laid canopus for £50 @ 4.6 , canopus finished 2nd all other mentioned runners were unplaced so a small loss on the race . I arbed the isiris winner aztec warrior backing it at 11/4 and laying it in return @ 3.6 and took £75 out of opera de couer as andrew at optimum felt that he had the weakest claims of the front three in the market but was in fact favourite , this time the fall worked in my favour as aztec warrior prevailed . A lop sided market in the last with closed shop and portland bill supported to the exclusion of everything else i concentrated on portland bill as money came in for it i had £100 ew @5/1 and £150 ew @ 4/1 , laying back on betfair £265 @4.99 in the win and £260 @ 1.62 in the place markets producing a profit of £101.45 on the race .
