    Autretot, Thirsk 5.05 @ 4/1. Got collared on the line by the narrowest of margins in his first run for new connections. The front 2 were 10 lengths ahead of the 3rd horse who had won the time before. Compo awaits tomorrow off the same mark me thinks. Good luck all.

    Looks a lovely price now, I only got 7/2 and it’s into 3/1 now as I’m just after sticking it in Ron’s comp.

    leicester,2 20:

    these nurserys are always tricky to solve,but HAPPY ODYSSEY can go very well,as shes shown a fair amount of ability so far,and especially her last run looks the strongest form,by some extent,as the third has since gone on and won easily next time out.big shout..

    leicester,3 20:

    a very competitive handicap,and very few,that can be left out of calculations here.PRESIDENTIAL,though,is holding his form really well,and should be competitive off this mark.also ran in some good races lately,beaten not far every time,so has as good a chance as any here.the trainer also enjoying quite a good season,so ticks a lot of boxes...

    well,not easy today.

    leicester,4 20:

    a few,that have potential to do better in time,but the safest option might well be beverley scorer FIVE HELMETS,who won pretty convincingly 4 days ago,and gets a nice weight allowance today.so,if none the worse for those exertions,top chance!

    Blew the start and then taken wide from stall 1. I didn't mention this yesterday but I'm good mates with a friend of connections and believe you me they were expecting much better!

    Having blown the start you have to sit and suffer and hope for the break rather than going 6 wide!!

    Absolutely. Apparently the horse whacked its snout on the gate trying to make a sharp exit as it had done lto. Well that's the jockeys explanation anyway. Still doesn't explain why he decided to take the scenic route though!

    well,i hope,i have more luck now..

    bangor, 6 40

    a small but very tight field,as there doesnt seem to be a lot between the main contenders.but BEACH BREAK looks primed to run well,as hes been a model of consistency so far this season,and gained due reward last time out..

    Have also backed this horse but an alarming drift on it now. Into 2/1 then out to 11/2. Whilst Harvey Spector has come in to 8s from 25s.

    Some job by the jockey on Randalls there. Incredible stuff, the horse would have had a better journey via Cork :emoticon-0119-puke:

    Jockey bashing at its finest. The beast pulled like a train, a weakening horse came back in his path turning in and the horse had nothing left at the finish. Wise up lads.
