Yes, I'd like to know what you think about him, even if you want to take him on, Ian. I'm aware he was beaten at short odds last season, but he's now a second season chaser and my hope is, he's the scope to kick on and improve again this season. We should find out on Saturday.

The Famous Five is entered in the 1.30 class two race at Aintree on Saturday. He had an entry at Newcastle recently in a lower class race, and another entry for this Friday, again in a lower class race, but was taken out today. Perhaps this is a sign the horse has been working well at home and...

One of the best horses not to win a 2000 Guineas?

I was hoping the market had let mine drift incorrectly, and that given all Ocean Heights form was from up on the pace, he'd at least be ridden that way today. Needless to say, he ends up being held up last. Humble pie eh.

Because I never actually went, Danny. 😂 Two wasted tickets unfortunately mate. I was due to my take my lovely mum who loves her racing, is a proper geordie aswell, but her knee had become very swollen, and with all the forecast rain, (that never properly materialised until much later in the...

A selection for tomorrow. Lingfield 2:00 Ocean Heights could be the one. Firstly, I find it interesting he runs with no tongue tie or headgear which he's worn previously. Why this is the case, I don't know, but I'm hoping they might have found the key to him for want of a better expression. He...

I said last season he was regressing for want of a better word. That said, no prize for stating what a good horse he was at one time. So what do connections do now? His record at right handed tracks, notably Sandown and Kempton is pretty darn good, and he's never fallen going right handed...

I'm loathed to disagree with you, with the form that you're in, Ian. I think Slurricane is very interesting. He was 7 lengths or thereabouts behind the favourite at Cheltenham and my gosh is he weighted to reverse that form. How much better off is he, about a stone? Slurricane hung right handed...

I've a feeling he's more than enough cash not to need to be on any gravy train, Luke. He's surely not one of the skint mob anyway... I'd like to think he's doing because he loves it.

Josh Apiafi started the Racing Media Academy, which is a noble cause, trying to get under represented groups in to the Racing Media. I met his brother Lee down at Doncaster Racecourse earlier this year when having my interview for this scheme. They seem like nice people. I've no idea about ATR...

I'm happy to swap usernames with you after the stunt you've pulled today, Ian. 👍

I reckon it's a wheelbarra job, Luke. Great to see.

I can confirm connections have taken my advice, and Novelista has been gelded. Watch the space next season!

I should probably be backing Hunter Legend after I was on him for the PP, and said afterwards he'd be better over a slightly longer trip. I just worry if two weeks is a long enough time to recover from that day, where I think he had a hard race. I like Eyed aswell and there's been a fair few...

Newbury 1.50 King Of Kingsfield has ran several stinkers at Cheltenham, so I'm content to put a line through the last days performance. Apart from there, he's not done a lot wrong over fences, especially with the tongue tie applied, and looks like a horse who might even appreciate stepping up...

No Ordinary Joe worth a saver in the Greatwood tomorrow. He acts on soft ground and has the back form both at Cheltenham and in this race.

Love it! I wish I was there. Danny's got the look of a Dappa Don about him. If there's any forum members, perhaps up North going to the Fighting Fifth, please let me know.

Aye. I thought he was getting pulled up, so an eye catching run to finish where he did. He's one for another day, but well done Danny and Kirsty, I'm extremely pleased for them.

Well done, Ian. 👍Well reasoned aswell, it's not like you just picked a nice name either.

Oh f%*&, I thought this was the Cheltenham thread. Sorry
