Let's hope the clerk doesn't go on strike before then. 'Up my pay 20 percent or I won't get out of bed, let alone conduct an inspection', said the honourable clerk. The wet liberal tree hugging middle classes, they're more militant in the U. K these days than a seagull keen on pinching your...

Ballybreeze declared for Sunday. I'm hoping he will do the business. One of my old trackers the Dr TJ Eckleburg has also been declared in this race and might appreciate the ground, but Ballybreeze for me, all day long.

I'm still strongly considering backing Hunter Legend in what looks a pretty open renewal. He's a French bred and the grandsire Dom Alco's progeny apparantly show a strong preference for soft and heavy ground which we could well see on Saturday. I know he's low in the ratings and more often...

It's on ITV 3, (Channel 10 on freeview), as I type. If you don't know, get to know... Or in Ian's case, if you detest life to such an extent, that you can't actually bring yourself to own a television, then jolly well get one quick. 👌

Aye. The bloke having a wash in a bath of bleach really left a mark. (sorry)

Can robots grow a pair.

When someone says Fitz I always think of Cracker. "I drink too much, I smoke too much, I gamble too much. I am too much." So says criminal psychologist Eddie `Fitz' Fitzgerald. What a programme it was.

Jinny mentioned Alphonse earlier, an interesting contender for sure.

Oh dear, I agree with Ian, again. Wind surgery might have helped him I feel. If he's over the last day he'll go very close.

Oh, the wrath of Slim may await. This should have gone on the ante post thread I started, nevermind.

I'll be making my annual pilgrimage to Gosforth Park for this.

I think we need one of these threads. I saw Danny mentioned another race at Cheltenham this weekend, and there's forum members on here, (I'm not one 🤣), who've really shown their worth over time for identifying horses before raceday. While the biggest races will have individual threads...

Hunter Legend taken out of a possible engagement at Bangor on Wednesday today, so could well be that connections will see if he makes the cut for this. He's only rated 129 but looks very progressive.

So despite Charlie Deutsch being booked, Hunter Legend wasn't declared today, leaving the door open for a tilt at the Paddy Power on Saturday. He's got a lovely progressive profile, winning nearly 50 percent of his chases, (5/11), and while stepping up in class would be a challenge, he might...

He needs to recapture his best form, at this stage, rather than finding improvement.

He's never had any wind surgery before, I wonder if that could help, I'm no expert mind.

Interested to see if Hunter Legend gets declared for the class 3 at Bangor on Wednesday in an hour or so, as he'd hold a pretty decent chance, especially given connections have him entered for the Paddy Power on Saturday too.

Yes. I'm hoping the assessor drops him to a sub-160 chase mark and that tempts them to a handicap chase, where I can do my bollox once and for all.

Excellent, Slim Spillane's is out of the Betfair Chase. https://www.racingpost.com/news/ireland/spillanes-tower-ruled-out-of-betfair-chase-following-tame-reappearance-at-naas-aMHRw4S7sFoU/ I'd like to see this horse in a handicap chase this season, especially if the handicapper drops him a...

The Wallpark, Brown Advisory, 250 Win, 33/1, William Hill. Thanks.
