Had a lot of personal issues, but now I'm back in the position I was ten years ago, studying form for a few guys and analysing and reporting on gallops. It seems odd ten years can pass and you are back where you were ten years ago.
    I used to enjoy putting stuff on here as on the whole it's a good bunch of honest punters, so thought I would start posting again, but if I was asked not to post stuff from those who run the forum I would also respect that.

    I hope you're well Del Boy.

    Depression is a hell of a thing, Chris.

    I hope it's all behind you now.
    Ah! but a man's reach should exceed his grasp......

    I would like to say it was, but that would be lying. Once you suffer from it, it never goes away, you just have to take each day as it comes and learn to control the daemons that control your head.

    Having been there myself I will echo those sentiments. Can hit anyone and often it is a shock as things look so normal to people on the outside. I'm sure your input will be welcome, certainly after today anyway!!

    Best wishes, just wake every day and try to enjoy it. Easier said than done. Just for today...

    Thanks.
    Watch out for Monteverdi in the 6:35 at Goodwood tomorrow night as his rating is worth exploitation on some form not so long ago.

    Not info but on the figures I use, I would be keen on the chances of Roller tonight in the 7.40. He put up a figure of 91 on his first start this season and next time he raced too freely under his rider running to 93. Last time he was definitely given too much to do, and his rider got busy too late but he still clocked 93. I think he has the potential to be about a 100 horse and most of his rivals today are rather exposed. Calder Prince on his best form is a danger but he may be better over shorter, whilst Abushamah is well treated off 74, but I would have rather seen him in a 0-75 giving away weight to lesser rivals than in a 0-95 getting weight from good horses. The Easterby horse is young enough to still be improving and for me is open to more improvement than most. He looks a good price at 4.4 on Betfair and at 1.55 in the 4 horses to be placed market I feel there is good insurance. I think this horse could progress into a very nice 1m handicapper and win a premier handicap when he creeps in one this season. I would be surprised if wasn't running very close tonight.

    Castle Harbour/Chief Whip form from last year yeah. Monteverdi cost me a pretty penny last year. The gelding is a plus sign and one can ignore a pipe opener over 6f.

    Tulip River 1.50 York, well backed first time out and was the best horse in the race. Unless Theresa real good one lurking, should be up to winning this race. Worth a double with inconceivable in the 6.35 Chepstow, well bred, wasnt knocked about when second the last day.
