Are you not the same guy who was preaching about the amount of bad language on the site ? To put swear words in where there really is no need seems to me to be hypocrisy of the highest order (not for the first time).

I just don't know whats happened to you Maurice i really dont.

Bleu D'Enfer 2:15 Musselburgh, 40-1 ew.
I do like Jet to Vegas in this race but I think it's a more open contest than 40-1 would suggest. And I like Charlie Maggs for 5lb.

Harbour Lake 3:10 Cheltenham 20/1
Hoping the recent wind op works the oracle.
Best on good ground which it gets today.
Record in last 12 races:
Soft 2nd/PU/PU
Good to Soft PU/PU/5th/5th
GOOD 1st/2nd/1st/3rd/2nd
Unfortunately only seven runners so win only for me.

I had just started to think he might win when he blundered at the second last.
Ran well anyway - one to look out for next time.

Poor start.

Glengouly looked back to his disappointing self (unless they're targeting a festival race) but I can't help being deeply suspicious of the ride JTV got. Prominent (the right place to be at Musselburgh) and popping his fences well, the jockey seemed to me to be at pains to make sure he didn't go with the leader from after the home turn.

Two singles and a double all consigned to the bin without a proper run for my money.

Pocket talking, maybe, but I move on.

Yes he was going nicely.

Ayr
3.30 Gaillimh A Stor - I'll chance this horse after another wind operation. He's probably fairly treated on his novice hurdle form too, if you are prepared to go back long enough. Market support would boost confidence levels.
