IRELAND’S EYE on Friday
Friday 9 April IRELAND’S EYE BETDAQ are sponsoring the majority of the Kempton jumps card today while it is Day 2 of the Grand National meeting at Aintree. The Irish challenge was ‘thin on the ground’ yesterday but they look to have a few good opportunities to taste success today and we will be siding with a long priced Northern challenger in a handicap hurdle – 30.0 on the DAQ this morning. The ‘Shark’ O’Hanlon looks to have bright prospects of gaining a Grade 1 hurdle with a progressive type. ?Tomorrow we will be giving our choices for the ‘greatest race on earth’ and we will be delving into the best value on the DAQ where a couple of challengers at more generous odds ‘catch the eye’ and the imagination. Aintree proved something of a ‘graveyard’ for punters yesterday and we were no exception though we did manage to get our lay of the day Gold Cup hero Imperial Commander (6/4) well beaten in the featured chase

IRELAND’S EYE on Thursday
Thursday 8 April IRELAND'S EYE Aintree kicks off today with an excellent card that include half a dozen Graded contests and one Listed event while Taunton may be just a ‘bit player’ but nevertheless they do have some fine fare on offer for jumping enthusiasts away from the ‘madding crowd’. The Tizzard yard can spring a minor surprise in the Grade 2 novice chase at Liverpool whilst we will be opposing the warm favourite in the hunter chase at Taunton. Though there a few disappointments yesterday we did however keep up our winner a day sequence when Day Of Destiny (12-10/1) easily took the opener at Fairyhouse for trainer Pat Colville

IRELAND’S EYE on Saturday
Saturday 10 April IRELAND'S EYE Though there is a jumps card at Chepstow today and all weather flat action at Lingfield and Wolverhampton later this evening all roads firmly lead to Aintree where the maximum 40 runners face the starter for this years fascinating running of the Aintree Grand National. As always we will be seeking out the best value on the DAQ in the worlds greatest race but we also will be sticking with some ‘tried and (sometimes) trusted’ friends in the supporting races on the card. Venetia Williams boasts a fine record at the National meeting and though she may not repeat her success in the big one this time she could have reasons to cheer with victory for a low weighted and long priced runner in a handicap chase earlier on the card while a former point to pointer can get back to winning ways in a Grade 1 novice chase with ground to suit for the Nicholls/Walsh combination

IRELAND’S EYE on Wednesday
Wednesday 7 April IRELAND’S EYE As we look forward to the three day Aintree Grand National the Meath track at Fairyhouse winds up its four day Irish National fixture and it provides the only jumps action in these Isles. Meanwhile there is plenty of flat action on the grass at Nottingham and Catterick while Lingfield and Kempton later in the evening provides the all weather action. Our attention is focused on Fairyhouse today where a previous course winner is taken to cope with the step up in distance in a staying hc chase while the Willie Mullins/Ruby Walsh combination can hit the target in a maiden hurdle earlier on the card. Our excellent run of form continued yesterday when Magnanimity (12s morn-10/1) easily landed the novice hurdle at Fairyhouse with saver Whatdouthink (5/2-9/4) back in third. The ex Irish Rusty Red (4-3/1) found one too good in a handicap chase at Wetherby while other selections Summer Seeds (5s morn-3/1), Afistfullofdollars (4/1) and Aughnacurraveel (10/1) all filled the frame at Fairyhouse. The Willie Mullins trained Sicilian Hill is a lightly raced 7yo who made a winning debut in a bumper at Leopardstown on soft on his belated debut over a year ago and the son of Flemensfirth can score at the second time of asking over hurdles in the 2m maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse at 2-45.

Irish Horseracing from Fairyhouse
Wayne Bailey marks your cards for the final two days of the Easter Festival. “The Colm Murphy trained eight-year-old has won four races from thirteen; but his record on heavy ground reads 111421 and connections are hopeful that he’ll place at the very least.” Once again, it’s bucketing down outside my window so I was pleased to see that Fairyhouse has passed this morning’s inspection and racing can now go ahead. Although I live some 25 miles from the course, the weather at the County Meath venue has been something similar so we can expect bottomless ground for the remainder of the Easter Festival. Some horses thrive on heavy and Kimberlite King would be fair value around 3.4 for a place in the opening Irish Daily Mirror Novice Handicap Chase (14:00).

DAQMAN on Sunday
Sunday 4 April DAQMAN DAQMAN’S 98.5 POINTS PROFIT: Daqman got within a point or two of 100 profit for this short Easter week – there was no racing Friday – with four more winning bets yesterday, taking him to 98.50. 10.0 BETDAQ WINNER: His winners included Prince De Beauchene (won 7-1), which was 10.0 on Betdaq when he picked it, and his nap, the easy Kempton scorer, Shamwari Lodge (won 13-8). FORM FOR THE WEEK NOW 1311111210131241413: These are the form figures for his main selection in each race he’s tipped in. He was unlucky not to land a lay yesterday: his rules allow him only favourites; he nominated Fistral Beach but he wasn’t favourite until nearer the race. It’ll take some getting at Towcester today on the heavy up that final hill; they’ll think they’re in tomorrow’s Irish National at Fairyhouse. We’ll assume for starters that David Pipe knows what he’s doing, sending one horse on a 300-mile round trip to run in this bog. Painter Man (2.40) has been the ‘moral’ the last twice, on each occasion giving around a stone to the winner and not being beaten by that far.

DAQMAN on Saturday
Saturday 3 April DAQMAN? DAQMAN’S FORM THIS WEEK 1311111210131: Another winner and third from the two bets to run on Thursday left Daqman with this remarkable string of success this week from the main selections in all races tipped in. 80 POINTS PROFIT: His winning run amassed more than 80 points profit in the four days from Monday to Thursday WEEKEND SPECIALS: Now look out today and tomorrow for more value Betdaq bets and another hot lay to top his current sequence of 10 from 14. How did we lose our great Bank Holidays of racing? How come the ‘big’ races in England on Sunday and Monday are only class-4 handicaps? How did they allow the English and Irish Nationals to be run in the same week? Before I search for winners today, I have one big whisper to pass on to the younger racegoers. Huntingdon on Monday has a hunt-the-eggs competition: don’t let on that I told you, kids, but I think you’ll find the egg on race-planners’ faces. The ‘star’ prize of the day today, the Snowdrop Listed at Kempton, is a rather pale alternative to the Man U match with Chelsea as the day’s sporting venue, so I’m happy to sit at home in comfort with my Daq up

Can Paul Nicholls finally win the Grand National at Aintree?
Whilst much focus will be on Tony McCoy’s fifteenth attempt to win the Grand National, another who will have to share some of that particular unwanted limelight is Paul Nicholls, who has yet to saddle a winner of the Aintree showpiece from forty-four runners. “Minnehoma in 1994 for Martin (Pipe), followed fourteen years later by son David’s Comply Or Die, makes it ‘Pond House 2-0 Manor Farm’, a scoreline Nicholls will surely be desperate to make inroads into.” There’s been an unmistakable shifting of the sands in the last five seasons as regards the dominant force in National Hunt racing. Where once Team Pipe carried all before them, both numerically and in terms of prize-money, Paul Nicholls now very much sets the benchmarks . What’s more, the strength in depth at Ditcheat is increasing seemingly year on year; last season’s Trainer’s Championship was Nicholls’ fourth on the bounce, and his most clear-cut yet, finishing over £1.3 million clear of nearest pursuer Nicky Henderson. Nicholls’ credentials don’t end with those statistics, either. Four Cheltenham Gold Cups (See More Business, Denman and dual-winner Kauto Star) accompany three Queen Mother Champion Chases (Call Equiname and Master Minded twice) and two World Hurdles (Big Buck’s), not to mention numerous other Grade 1 prizes on both sides of the Irish Sea
