No notebooks, but I’ve taken evens about Joyeuse 1:30 Bangor because if she handles the fences she’s more than a cut above the rest.

All getting pretty deep, but I quite like Danny’s net good or net bad. Handicapper would have a hell of a job sorting the ratings, though.

Got some notebooks out, but haven’t had a good look yet. 2:20 Friday Be Aware - 30/10 Good chase debut win by Be Aware who jumped well and although Grandeur Dame had led for a long way and into the last where he fell Be Aware hadn’t been really asked for much at that stage. Good by them both...

Already aboard at 8/1 so it’ll be a nice average if he turns up in good order.

I dearly hope you’re wrong, Ian. Constitution Hill remains the best I’ve ever seen. Whether he can still reach those heights again I doubt, but he can still see this lot off. He can no longer flick through the tops of the hurdles as the new ones are less forgiving, so he has to jump them which...

Skelton’s Mydaddypaddy and Real Quartz won as easily as you like, but it didn’t really tell us much except that they can handle the hurdles, Mydaddypaddy particularly well. Dan Skelton said afterwards that neither were fully wound up and he’s bringing them along slowly. Another day without...

Yes, according to the race iq data (which I’m still getting my head round, although it looks quite interesting) he was pretty poor so far as jumping was concerned. Had the best finishing speed percentage which brought him home.

Although Into The Park was kept up behind the leaders he never seemed at the races to me and didn’t find anything towards the end. Disappointing. Our Boy Stan lost an awful lot of ground over the jumps and had to work hard to overcome that and win by a neck. Needs to get a lot slicker over the...

I think both camps are right. On the one hand not everything is a plot, on the other hand not everything is out to win as its primary objective in a race.

A couple of notebooks: 1:30 Sandown - Into The Park was favourite and a bit unlucky last time in a Class 2 at Uttoxeter - 17/10 didn’t get the clearest of runs and held into a neck second place - this one should be slightly easier. 2:40 Sandown - Nardaran is up in class, but that shouldn’t be...

Well, I got the bit about Kalif Du Berlais right, but nowt else. As Nf19 pointed out, the market called it. I ignored it :( Having a day off today, I’m up to my ears in horses. Need a break.

Yes, I’d go along with that. As I said on my blog My notebook runners the favourite was always doubtful and although I thought JPR One was the one to beat I also said there were four that could. Throw in the market move and it wasn’t really that much of a surprise. Certainly nothing to be crying...

Much as it pains me to say, you are a smart arse in the nicest sense :drink:

I Did you have some?

:ROFLMAO:

Thanks all, it was a brilliant day. I hadn’t realised how much I”d been missing it. Didn’t start well with Megan Fox falling off Maitre En Science after jumping the third. Caballero Cliff had drifted like mad so left alone and enjoyed Captain Hugo winning. Khrisma was a non-runner so was left...

Nice one

Haiti Couleurs looked terrific today at Newbury. Won what I thought was a hurdle prep run for this and if he turns up is going to take some beating.

Sober Glory never broke sweat and was pretty impressive, as was Kadastral in second who wasn’t pressed to beat the rest of the field with ease. Matty’s Getaway was heavily outgunned. Since we’re not off to Madeira this winter we’ve rejoined Newbury, so it’ll be our first visit for a good few...
