I think he's better over shorter and Haydock ground can be really sapping

I think it was never in doubt especially after last year. Haiti was very disappointing in the jumping stakes and looked a bit stressy beforehand too.

Actually looking at him again now at the start he looks better - sometimes when you take the rugs off, they perk up

Stellar doesn't look great in his coat to be honest.

Nice by both the Irish girls today - Lossie couldn't have had an easier time while Wodhood really wasn't that happy on the softened ground but to be fair, she knuckled down well (perfect op with such a low weight) and won nicely. Good run by the second too.

Really good performance by The Jukebox Man. I thought he looked a little tubby before the race and so I opposed him. He will come on a lot for that race too - King George is a distinct possibility. He is very good.

Toby is Donald's nephew - he's out of Jo, Donald's sister. Not sure of the sire. But yes he's a good lad and I used to see him pointing a lot.

Yeah - I'm never happy when a horse is jumping one way or another as I always suspect there's a problem grumbling. Good performance in the next from Oscar's Brother but I wasn't unhappy with Koktail Divin and he may be better dropped back in trip slightly. Nice from Kabral du Mathan - that...

Very much so - there were some nice physical types in there too. The winner I was impressed by initially I thought he'd win easily but he got headed. Some good jumping got him back in the race and he was very gutsy to get back up and win from his stablemate who is also nice. Worth rewatching the...

Well that didn't play out to plan...first two look like they are going to make nice chasers. Skelton's might be worth following back down in his own age handicap?

Just a few today! Cracking day's racing which I am looking forward to. I am undecided on the bigger races but here are a few I am thinking of after a quick flick through the cards: Haydock 12.08 Possibly RF Masked Man & Sticktotheplan 1.15 Kabral du Mathan 1.50 Iroko (wind op) 2.25 Ace of...

Yes I learnt this today and was very impressed by her too.

Well what an utterly incredible day! Firstly we (myself and two friends) were treated to breakfast at a local pub (2 full English, 1 eggs benedict) then to the yard for second and third lot. No Paul as he was off shooting in Yorkshire but we were greeted by one of his assistants, Charlie and...

I was at Wincanton today and backed it on the Tote which paid about 20s I think - nice little earner as I was standing in Mr Nicholls private box. I reasoned that Rian (who I know well from Pointing) is head and shoulders above the others in a hands and heels race and Kayley Woollacott wasn't...

I think he might look at me as though I have three heads if I produce one of your spreadsheets!

I will make that my mission!

Blimey that's a way off! I will see what I can extract.

Hi All I am going to Mr Nicholl's yard tomorrow for a breakfast/morning on the gallops/day at Wincanton freezin' my tits off day and was wondering if anyone wanted me to ask about any horses while I am there? I have already been advised by the ex to "take a notebook with you" and record...

Think of the puppies, Danny, think of the puppies!

I have asked for extra emojis on the reaction button - so we can have 🤮😭🙄 as well as I invariably would just like to react in said format!
