Newbury Hurdle entries.

Don't know if it's just Scottish but 'wide' attributes similar traits those of a 'Bengal Lancer' (ie chancer).

Once on holiday up north, we were at the breakfast table when the waitress came to take our order. My mother-in-law said that rather than the full Scottish, she just wanted egg, bacon and beans. I said, 'Give her the full Scottish and I'll have the rest of it,'to mutterings from Mrs O and Orchidette.

Sharp as you like, the waitress said, 'Ach, you're just a wee wide-o!' which was met with howls of laughter from the rest.

I've never been allowed to forget it.
 
Don't think he's been mentioned yet here, but fully expect Favour and Fortune to run a big race. Nowhere near the sort of price I'd be looking for, indicating too many already in the know. Shame.

Aucunrisque winked at me in the paddock pre-race 2 years ago.
L'eau Du Sud whispered ' something will do me at the last' last year, but I ignored him and went on the nose (at something like 34 (I think, memory is not what it was) on BF. How couldn't you! a ridiculous price.

What 'clues' will Favour give on the walk around, I wonder.

He might just (rather elaborately) say '2 miles, you're having a laugh. That Ayr form was an anomaly. I'm a Soldier Of Fortune. A good one mind, and that's why I got away with it last season. But my day will come, possibly in the Coral Cup or maybe further. But...if I can win here..and win well...you'll half wish you'd got on at around 20s for the County, Chaumi.'
