    2:30 Fujin

    3:30 Marie Josephe

    4:00 Inconceivable

    4:30 Iron Lady (Looks between this one, and Clive Cox's horse, Her Terms, but Iron Lady is a better price).

    Bugger. If I'd realised that SP of 11/4 was available, on Her Terms, I would have gone for her, never mind.

    Hope my nap wins in the last now, lol.

    I've followed Fujin for what seems to be forever [although he's only 6] but oddschecker said he's much better on the all weather so I avoided him. Typical.

    Bad luck Moe. They took the fav out as well so rule 4 50p in the pound for Fujin. I'm looking forward to seeing weights for Ceserewitch.

    Always had a lot of faith in Stanghow since last season, bold front runner, or at least races up on the pace usually. He's a horse i've watched plenty, and he may be coming into top form at the right time, as he ran a good race from a poor draw at Chester last time. I'd like the see Stanghow win tomorrows 3:40 at Ripon before a crack at the Ayr Bronze Cup. That would be a great race for Stanghow to have a go at.

    Got a tip for Philip Hide's Black Caesar..............only thing is I just watched two 1/3 shots get stuffed one after the other so confidence is something I just can't muster with these flat horses

    Good one, Tan. Stanghow ran its race, hopefully will run in the Bronze Cup at Ayr.

    Keeping one eye on Linda Perratt's three horses at Hamilton and see if any are backed in the markets tomorrow. Top jockey Paul Hanagan booked to ride two of them. Dutch Dream looks the best of the three chances, with such a good track record around Hamilton. 8-1 looks good value.

    Got some shekels on. Be happy with a place, delighted with a win. Fingers crossed.The trainers other two runners were withdrawn earlier.

    Bollox. Just hopes Gigs tip wins later. That'll do me a favour.

    Throwing a couple shekels on Zephyros e/w in Chepstows 2:40 tomorrow. This has a sound record going left handed, ( 63212345323)), and has won at 7f before abroad. I'm just hoping Sean Levey will try to make use of the fact Zephyros stays further, by putting this horse up with the pace, or try and do it from the front. He is exposed over 10 furlongs now, but a change in tactics and drop to seven furlong might work.

    Quite like the look of Zephyros myself Marble. Decent price and worth a punt. Levey, for me, is one of the few jocks i trust to give a horse its best chance. The negative is the trainer, dont rate him. Small stakes ew. Good luck

    Good to have a bit of moral support, cheers Tincan. The odds are stacked against us (literally!) though, as he's one of the rank outsiders of the field.

    Two more solid win chances are Ehtiraas (3:40) and Sparte Quercus (4:40) at around 3/1 each. I reckon these two can definitely win their races. The betting market agrees.

    I've done a patent on the lot. I need the two shorty's I've mentioned to win to ensure a profit on this bet. They're the bankers.

    If Zephyros could land a blow, this would obviously be a huge bonus, but highly unlikely, according to the odds, (diplomatic speak).

    Good luck to you too.

    Soft ground form abroad as well, so pleased to see some cut in the ground, (ground good-soft, currently).

    I reckon he can finish in the first three or four (hopefully), so I won't look a complete tit, if he can maybe grab a place, but we'll see. I wouldn't rule anything out today...

    Stayed on at the death my one didn't he, not sure why Sean Levey didn't scrub him up earlier in the race given he stays further, but there you go. Maybe he was riding to instructions. He needed restraining after the line. He's one for next time out I reckon.

    Wrong outsider; and I was following Timmy Murphy blind a while back. Typical [yet again]!

    He's gone in my tracker, Moe. I think he needed the run as he got faster as the race went on!
    Beaten four lengths, and staying on, after being held up, (Racing Post comments in running, not mine).

    There could be a flat race in the horse, if he runs again this season. Its possible his trainer, being a jumps man, may keep him for a handicap hurdle.

    We'll see.
