My only winner of the day thanks.



Saved the day. That's two days where one horse has saved it. Need to get in front tomorrow.

Depends on the ground mate, Howard Johnson wouldn't be keen on running him unless he could get his toe in. He loves heavy ground but it won't be that bad. Can't see him doing anything if the ground stays on the fast side of good, if he runs on less than ideal ground it will only be because Wylie likes having festival runners.

Like the look of Lush Life in the Pertemps @ 14's.



Not given much of a chance by the starter last time out.

Also taking a punt on Pause and Clause in that race I think.

Always annoying when we get runners due to this, same reason Henderson ran Erict today. Would never have gone had it been his decision but the owner had a box for the week and wanted runners.

Johnson said after Haydock that the plan is to go chasing in the autumn with BIF, and that he wasn't guaranteed to go to Cheltenham, but had been entered as the owners like to have runners there. If the heavy rain comes that is forecast for Friday morning, then that will make things a bit more interesting...

Bobs Worth's form was given a good boost with Rock On Ruby being done on the line, pretty happy with my two in that.

Other than Poquelin in the Ryan Air might have a bit if Hey Big Spender e/w @ 33's

Selections finalised.



Going to have a good go at it tomorrow.

Been out tonight so will post my selections in the morning, but initial fancies for me are: 1:30 Blazing Tempo & Noble Prince.



2:05 - Barafundle & Rivage D'or



2:40 - Gauvain/ Voy Por Ustedes/ Roberto Goldback



3:20 - Very undecided at the moment. Loving Grands Crus but difficult to bet against Big Bucks record. Also like Ashkazar at a longer price and Mourad in a very in-form stable.



4:00 - Beautiful Sound & Peplum



4:40 - Alderley Rover/ Galaxy Rock/ Fredo



Shall clarify when I'm sober.

Backed Poquelin 4/1 great price.



E/W trixie



Wishfull Thinking 7/2

Chartreux 7/1

Poquelin 4/1



£40 pays £1516.09

I cant believe Hills are still laying it. Max 50 quid win and 25 each way in the shops at 4/1. The arbers will be driving round all over this morning getting their 50's on, I would be too in all honesty as you can lay off at 3.65.
