I've got the next 2 days off, so most of my betting for day 2 will be done around lunchtime tomorrow, but 2 bets lept out at me and have been placed tonight:

4.40  - I've no idea why, but since its introduction to the festival the Fred Winter Hurdle has been very kind to me. My only usual golden rule for this one is to only look at those who won last time out, but that's going out of the window this time. Bat Masterson won for the first time 2 races ago in first-time blinkers. Last time out he finished 3rd beaten half a length in a grade 2 despite wandering late on, possibly due to the lack of headgear. Tomorrow the blinkers are back on, he runs off a very reasonable looking mark of 132, has 7 pounds taken off his back courtesy of Maurice Linehan who is apprentice to Jonjo O'Neill and I didn't have to think too long about taking the price of 29 available on Betfair. 
5.10 - I normally avoid betting on bumpers like the plague, but I'm comfortably in profit on the festival version. Clonbannon Lad sticks out like a sore thumb as he has won 2 from 2 and last time out slaughtered Willie Mullins' Mozoltov by 12 lengths. That beast was under consideration for a run in this race himself until a few days ago, so the 22 I've taken about Clonbanan Lad makes me a very happy bunny indeed.

Feel free to mock when they both get stuffed     

I feel distinctly less confident about my choice in the Fred Winter after reading Noel Meade's comments in the Racing Post this morning, but undaunted I've added a few more I've backed at big prices:

1.30  Allee Garde - 8.2
2.05  Cotton Mill - 10.5
2.40  Cannington Brook - 60
4.00  Poole Master  - 15.5
4.40  Bat Masterson - 29
5.15  Clonbanan Lad - 22

make sure u select a horse from different races if doing doubles trebles etc imo, maximise the win part of the bet

if u fancy backing a few EW but fancy doing the exotic bets, have a look at this calc - http://www.free-bet-calculator.co.uk/
it will give u a better idea of potential returns/outgoings etc
