    At worst I can tell them what a load of shite they are, offering different place terms, for internet and shops.
    This is a conversation topic I have regularly with my brother. He doesn't have any online accounts and always goes to local bookies and £2 ew would be about as big a bet as he'd be comfortable with. I'm always on at him but he says he's quite happy just to accept the shop terms are different from what I can get online.

    No-Powers also do shop specials that aren't available online.

    Customer support emailed me, a constructive email, saying 'go down to the shop, get manager to ring us, then get paid out.'

    So I went down, got manager to ring. He was then told by Customer Service, that the email sent to me from Customer Service, was factually wrong.

    Ladbrokes...... first four, quarter the odds in shops, first five on the internet, and probably first six places in neverland.

    Email the CEO address I gave you. Pretty much guarantees a more reasonable response from them.

    Customer services said their own email was factually incorrect.

Then there's Caravaggio, Harry Angel and Blue Point to contend with...

    The Lennox is a target but Ivory says they'd like some cut (understandable given the undulations). Oppo looks like being Dutch Connection (not the same horse as last year) Home of the Brave (very beatable) and Dream Castle (danger but another Godolphin, not sure he'd run. 10/1 is worth a go.

    I thought Dutch Connection was running a decent race at Ascot but as the final furlong loomed it was clear he was at a huge disadvantage on the part of the track he was on, worth another chance back at 7f.

    Needless to say I didn't realise it was running until it was too late, 1 minute before the off today, so missed out. How do I manage it? Needs to go in the tracker. I feel a bit sick at the moment (no pun intended).
