I'm in Harrogate with the Mrs. She's paid for the lot. Dinner, cocktails, whiskey.. Result. 🤣

Ah well.

Is that where Stan Mellor rode his 1000th winner ?

Sea Invasion. Ascot 4.10. Potentially well handicapped on return to hurdling.

I think Fortunedeforunata is a fair price for a repeat win in the National trial on Sunday. Punchestown 2.30.

Only value angle I can see is, if an on form Beauport sets out to make it a stiff test of stamina, on heavy ground.

I remember a similar boot filling conversation heading into spring last season, regarding P. Nicholls. Apart from Sans Bruis at Aintree, it didn't really happen. Don't think Venetia has the ammo + I personally wrote her season off before Christmas.

A marvellous book + film, about the pressures of a new college football coach in a small Texas town. Dealing with the hopes, dreams + expectations of the local populace. A beautiful soundtrack as well by the ambient rock band Explosions in the Sky.

At the prices. Grand Albert is the one that intrests me. Mc Cain may rely on Richmond Lake, so I'll wait till Thursday.

Pre race, was looking at Irancy as a possible County hurdle plot job given better ground. Hope todays exertion haven't taken its toll.

Zarkander was the other Nicholls top weight who won this. He was rated 151 + we all remember he was just short of top class. I'll be very surpised if TQ goes for the champion.. looks a prospect for the Arkle next season though.

Faivoir nice place money again. Better ground in the County. I'll do some theiving again , if I can get 40s or bigger.

Longsden finally quenched his ravenous thirst today.

Paggane. 2/7 to 11/8. Well beaten 😏

Wouldn't blame them

Maybe not an amateur, but over in Ireland Micheal Kennally seems to be making himself heard. Looks like full value for his 7, but the bookies seem to have cottoned on already. I wonder whether he'll get some nice handicap rides at the festival.

No, but at the price I'm attempting some ew thievery. Reproduces his run in this race last season, or his Greatwood this. He should be in the frame again.

I'm not really getting it how a class 4 handicap at Ascot, in November is going to have a big bearing on this class 1 handicap here. Of the market leaders, Twyston Davis horse obviously had an impossible task trying to give 6lb to Old Grange Star. Third home that day, wasn't beaten far in a G2...

Well that's a fine way to introduce yourself Dave ! 😃

Good to have you on board Dave !
