You probably won’t see me, then :D. I’ll be the one in the corner ripping up his tickets.

Thx for the thought :)

Assuming it’s not chucking it down we’re off to Newbury tomorrow (anyone else?) although it’s not an inspiring card. Only four runners in the first race and two of them notebooks. Quebecois - 24/1 put in his best chase effort over this shorter distance. Look for same conditions, same distance...

Fantasy World wasn’t really worth the watch. He raced in the leading group of four, but wasn’t jumping comfortably and when push came to shove he was already at the back of the group and didn’t even get a nudge let alone a shove. Lots of work to be done and little time to do it, but he’s in the...

Your Darling was a gallant third having attracted a little support - 17/2 from 10/1. Nothing today, but Henderson’s Fantasy World was bought (600,000gns) out of the Balding yard for a tilt at the Triumph and it’ll be interesting to see how he goes.

Aye, can’t complain.

Snap,!

Yippee, she got one.

Oh, come on, lovely haircut. What’s not to like :D

Maybe, his best rated run was on soft, though (and he won a bumper on heavy years ago) so should cope ok.

Juby Ball won very nicely, but Willmount bled and was pulled up. With Kabral Du Mathan a non-runner there’s just the one notebook and that’s pretty tentative. 3:00 Ascot: Your Darling stayed the three miles at Kempton, but it will be a bit more of a test this time - 10/1 had travelled smoothly...

2/1 is cheating? Bugger it, you’ve caught me.

Red Smaller Biro Cross Yes Dry - keep it covered up close to my heart

Since win jumps: 70 runs 60 days I thought she was remarkably sanguine about it in the RP article, but below the surface they must be tearing their hair out.

2:40 Chepstow: only four runners in this and two of them are notebooks which is a bit of a bugger. On top of that Juby Ballhas gone odds-on, rightfully, I think, albeit that it makes him a no bet. Willmount is down in trip which I was waiting for, but it’s just a watch unfortunately. Juby Ball...
