A going report from late this morning. Selective watering on parts of the back straight on both courses is likely to commence on Tuesday. Weather forecast for the rest of this week indicates daytime temperatures in the range of 12 to 15 degrees with hardly any rain.

Andrew Cooper does love to water.

I've had Wreckless Eric in my head for this, for months.. Afadil should go well also.

I just checked the card to see if Quaviste is in.

It isn't.

Skelton has three in the race, including Faivoir, and Harry is down to ride Brace For Landing, a lightly-raced novice rated 118 so should get in at the bottom of the weights.

I've taken 25/1, 4 places, but wouldn't be surprised if it didn't run, such has been my recent luck with these bets.

I've been waiting for this but missed the 25s so had to settle for 20s.
I'm not certain it will get in as only 3 below it.

Wreckless Eric.ive backed every time and the best price is 14/1 and only 10s with bet365. That's pathetic.
Knickerbockerglory is another and has a 7lb claimer on and bet365 are only 12s.poor.

Wreckless Eric, only 7s in places now .
You couldn't ignore old Faivoir, who has won me a few ew quid this season, if he shows up. Beaten on the nod in this 2 years ago. With the jockeys claim He's nearly a stone lower. At 40s, I can't ignore him, if he's in Thursday.

I flagged BFL in a new thread in January as I thought it looked like a Skelton plot job. Interesting to see he's got two entries - the IC and also the race before (the novice EBF final where Wolfie runs) but he's jocked up off a low weight in the IC with 'Arry up. I just got the feeling they were up to something.

does Bfl needs 4 to come out before he runs
