My reservations are mostly that it’s summer jumping which is inevitably weaker, plus Petit Mouchoir just looks doesn’t look like he wants to get his head in front. But, I hope you’re right Paul and do know the Galway Hurdle is the definite target. One other thing they’re discussing is...

Happy birthday for tomorrow Marb and hope you find the winner!

Can’t remember the horse, but it was a Friday in July 1984 and bunked off school with two mates (who are still friends) to go to Ascot Free to get in as we told the old boys at the gate we were meeting one of our dads inside. I can even remember now what it felt like to be up close to the...
