I have a varied portfolio, ranging from Dawn Rising to Vaguely Royal, and including the likes of The Shunter. In for a few quid only. I love this race - marvellous history about it. I remember John Cherry winning the race 49 years ago, under Lester. Carried a huge weight, too...

Today is a fairly typical day’s punting today for me. I won with some pissed bets on US racing last night, that I didn’t check until this morning. I paid myself back £15, and had £8 left to punt for today. Which has now turned into £21, thanks to some combos from Giggsy. I should stop there...

The only time I chase losses is when I’m in the pub - drink impairs judgement, we all know that. However, when the angle you’ve seen that “no one else could possibly have seen” romps in at 20/1 - and you’re pissed - well, that is a marvellous feeling. Betting apps are what makes it easier to...

We didn’t really get a look in, aside from Le Pelerin placing at 10/1. Winner was the second string for the trainer responsible for First Greyed. Plus 1.5pts

Literally, the word for dessert is “afters” in my gaff. But a lovely anecdote, thank you, Ian.

Yeah, Dessie has popped his head in a couple of times recently. I hope he’s back for good soon.

P Power bricking it: offering me £3.49 cash out on my £3.32 stake.

So, the 4:20 at Wolverhampton tomorrow. Three qualifying jockeys, and the best one - our man, Eireann - is riding the two-time course winner, First Greyed at 10/1. The other jockeys, who have also ridden winners recently are riding more fancied horses - Zambezi Magic and Le Pelerin I’m nine...

Saw that last night. He’s probably demanding rides and getting other jockeys jocked off the favourite these days!

Hijack away, Ian - I will not ask you to “leave” my thread, as Slim might. Thank you, I shall be backing Dalileo ew today!

Oh. We’ll have to do some proper thinking, then. The bloke is a machine - always wins or places. But it’s good to see the theory reaping small rewards. A jockey that good should not be winning races on 11/1 shots. And it’s that extra competence that is finding the extra ability from the horse.

Excellent return, chaps. Eireann is a total star, and a 16/1 place. Plus 9 points

I’ve stuck to my original ‘amfolio’: .75 ew Cancan etc 1pt win Rainbow Nebula 1.25 ew Shaladar But it’s good to read everyone’s input - many thanks!

Cheers, Ian - great pointers, as usual.

Many thanks, Jayhawk.

Thank you, Jayhhawk! I noted the horse was a NR on soft ground at Ayr for his last race.

The next qualifier is the 14:20 tomorrow. Five places, too. Three qualifying jockeys, all with ew shouts. Our man Eireann rides Rainbow Nebula at 10/1; Henry Callan rides Shaladar at 14/1; and Mr JH Williamson rides Cancan In The Rain at 16/1. Each of the horses have question marks about...

Great ride, just done out of it for first; backed into 13/2 at one stage. Minus 0.5

The 13:58 at Catterick. Our old friend, Eireann Cagney takes the ride on Ninety Nine. The horse is inconsistent, but has won here before. I’m on ew at 12/1, with four places. This is where the “amateur with form” factor is at its strongest, surely. Slim says this fellow is a very decent...

Thank you, Jinny - I’m in.
