Skelton wrote on Monday re Joe Holy Smoke on ATR: "The forecast looks to be working out for him, there's not too much rain around so the ground should be perfect he'll have no excuses" Mind you he is not averse to putting punters away is he?

What chance Hoe Joly Smoke Same mark as when finishing third to its stable companion Panic Attack. Harry Skelton had ridden it in all of its eleven previous starts but Kielan Woods took the ride and gave the horse a lot to do. Harry back on board and we all know they like to target these big...

Well done.

When I was a youngster my late father once said to me: "Only a fool measures how well off he is by how much money he has" At the time I thought what is he on about but as you get older you realise how right he was!!!

I wouldn't mind paying back 290k at £300 per month.

A classmate of mine once got detention for his answer to a question posed in art class. He was asked 'what is indigo?' His reply: "Isn't it what an african bus driver says to passengers getting on the bus"

Well done Ian - I suppose you will have to widen the doorways in your house now. For a fleeting moment I thought my reverse forecast with Mahons Glory would come off but hey ho well up on the day. Once again fantastic tipping!!!!

Never in doubt!!!

I backed Il Etait Temps on his first run at Cheltenham at 20/1 in the Triumph hurdle when it finished 5th to Vauban.The horse pulled for it's head throughout the race never settled but yet was bang there at the final hurdle. Put the horse in my tracker and have followed it ever since as I...

The Greenall team have Gaboriot at 8/1 and White Rhino at 10/1 but the stable is out of form. Only 2 winners in their last 50 runners.

Well done Ian!!! Was out all day yesterday and am just awakening from my drunken stupor. Cracking tipping.

Viyanni 2:15 Newbury. Harry Derham runs 10 horses today but this is the one he is sweetest on. On 'X' he states: Last of all is Viyanni in the Premier Handicap Hurdle at 2:15pm who we have saved for this race this autumn. He's a horse that I think has got a lot of potential and he's in really...

Ah Ah Ah Ah staying a mile staying a mile!!!

Brings back painful memories reading about Alverton. I backed it for the Gold Cup but thought it was too young to be aimed at the National and consequently did not back it. The race has been tarnished for me ever since. I seem to recall that Peter Easterby was quizzed about the horses...

Tom Symonds had two runners today: Garlic sorry Gaelic Saint 2nd at 50/1 and Kalista Love won at 7/1. Stable couldn't be in better form.

NAVAJO INDY 10/1 Rare runner at Haydock for Tom Symonds whose stable is in form. Has run 12 times and yet to finish outside the first four places. Has run twice in November winning both starts. Big step up in trip but promises to stay 3 miles plus.

Not an original but edited lyrics from a song I have on my playlist that is rather appropriate for a member on this forum: Ian is a bad idea Ian is a problem child I fear Ian's got an awful affliction Ian is as cold as it gets out here. Ian's got a brilliant mind It's giving him really big...

Watched the race on my phone whilst walking the dog. I knew the horse had to be held up but good god the jockey gave it a lot to do there. Ah well back to the Cheltenham races!!!!

Apologies he rides four today.
