Mentioned Devious Spirit (2.50 Newcastle, Fri) on this thread earlier and willing to give him another chance at double figures. The case for him is no different to what is was the time before -...

4/1 didn't look absurd given how he has shaped on occasions. So inclined to press up! Buckle up and hope!

Grendisar looks a pretty opposable favourite in the Quebec Stakes at 2.00 at Lingfield tomorrow. He's the obvious pick on ratings - but thay was also the case on his return from a break last time,...

Cheers DH - will get a few quid on it.

The EW double with Mick Jazz to pay for the festivities not looking quite so clever though. ******* Gordon Elliott!

A couple catch the eye at Newcastle today. First Stamford Raffles. Looked a 3-y-o going the right way in staying races when winning back to back earlier in the season. Beaten at a shortish price last...

Looks like Mick Jazz not declared. Silver Cup declared tomorrow. 11 in Long Walk. The Romford pele and Henderson mare the ones that don't go.

Not much rain around at all still, certainly worth bearing in mind with regards a race like the Welsh National, the mudlarks it usually suits could well be out of luck.

From a sporting point of view - the race really needs Thistlecrack, otherwise it looks like a disappointing renewal. The Bardstock's can be as bullish as they like with regards Coneygree but I...

Think it's the first word a Scotsman learns :lol:

Meet The Legend is the other that stood out to me as potentially very well handicapped. Was being aimed at the Greatwood but had a setback the week before. Yard know how to target these big 2m hurdle...

Sorry DG - Was replying to post about my bets - not the 2 big guns missing from the hurdle. Apologies for confusion.

Updates prices on oddschecker suggest both are in for now!

Confirmations should filter through just after lunch tomorrow. I might have done my dough, but can see the chase cutting up a fair bit, so prepared to take the chance at the odds.

Don't know if he'll be left in tomorrow, but Go Conquer looks massively overpriced at 25s for the Silver Cup. Lightly-raced and improving, produced a career best last time when pulling miles clear...

Nice double there Reet.

What do we make of the way Geraghty is riding at present? I don't watch a lot of Jumps racing, but was at Aintree on Sat and he seemed to struggle to do a thing right. Novice hurdlers not settling or...

Don't think I'll be able to resist the urge to take a fair bit of the 7/1 on Village Vic. An absolutely splendid beast that has taken well to both this track and the Old Course. He's higher in the...

Cheers. Thankfully I watched it alone so no one else could see or hear me shouting '**** off the grey' in the closing stages! Not sure how he held on, but mightily glad he did.

Agree with you Marble. Think he'd have gone very close the other day granted equal look. Trainer continues to impress and think the horse is still progressing.

Also think Graceful James is a good...

This Gibbons tale is probably a bit sadder than it appears at first glance. He has battled alcoholism in the past, and was even arrested at Wolverhampton races after riding a double having failed to...

A project I need to give up on. There can't be many more one-paced horses in training. Was over for him from a long way out from that position.

Couple of interesting meetings today and hoping the patient approach will pay off as waiting until the 7.15 at Kempton for my bet of the day and it's Sylvester Kirk's Percy Veer. This is a horse who...

Was put up by Hugh Taylor, so little chance of the early price holding up.

Thanks all, scraped home just about. Not really found much to go at at Wolves tomorrow but hopefully something will come up on Saturday's card.
