    Full time 1-2.

    Bitterly disappointed as it should have been 6-1 at least. I suppose you get these outcomes every now and again where one team dominates but a wonder strike and a defensive slip sees them beaten.

    Great financial result for the sickness insurance as I had a fair old amount on at the 9/1 but still bitterly disappointed.

    I’m an overseas supporter of your team DO , a very disappointing result . An empty stadium in Celtic’s case is a big advantage lost . Hopefully the Europa league qualifiers go better . Will it help in the quest fir ten in a row ? ....

    The ten is a foregone conclusion. I've been hammering away at the best prices since the season started (best price I've got so far 4/6 which is incredible) and last night's winnings will be reinvested at the best odds I can find. The only player across the city who would make the Celtic squad is Kent and he'll be sold shortly along with Morelos, their only goalscorer. It's just a shame there's no financial governance in Scottish football or we'd only have the diddy teams to worry about but that's probably for another thread another day.

    Good luck,O - may the best horse win.
    Cold Stare 2.25G is one of the few confirmed mudders in this race, and worth a small ew at 15/2 (b365) to confirm that view

    Trainer Roger Teal has a nice level stake profit on this course, and this newcomer is his only runner

    I think that's debatable. The ground's very deep now and he was beaten in a Group 3 on Haydock heavy a couple of years back when 2/1.

    Yes he ran ok at Ascot on soft but plenty of good ground horses act there since the track was relayed. Benbatl is likely to be pulled now. I think Century Dream has a favs chance.

    I might not have any bets today because of the ground. Very few will act in really heavy stuff and the form could end up all over the shop.

    I am adding Red Kelly in Navans 5.05 to my bet today. Take a look at its profile... Stepping up from winning a valuable handicap the last day now to listed class. and should probably be favourite here, but is available at 3s.

    Only bet is Cold Stare 7/1 in the 2.25 Goodwood. Only serious bit of form in the last year or so was in heavy and now well handicapped because of poor form on other ground.

    Nor me, but it’ll be hard not to back Domino Darling (Newj 3:55) at odds against.

    Just watched the replay. Won under hands as well. I don’t back at those odds typically but if fit and firing today it has to win?

    For selfish reasons am pleased to see Happy Romance taken out of this race as I think he would have been hard to beat and his departure opens the race right up.

    Thank You Next I thought had an interesting profile stepping up from handicaps, probably a couple of points overpriced as a result, IMHO.

    The round course at Ascot hasn't been relaid, and it responds to rain very differenly to the straight. RR also won on proper soft on his Yarmouth debut. Reckon he's got more improvement in him with the blinds too, and I'll stick with him.
    Edited to add. Just read that SMS hs won the race 8 times previously, which is hardly a negative to him running the horse, either.

    Wtf was the jockey on pomelo doing? Used her too much early on, went for it way too early as a result and then coming all the way over for no discernible advantage.
