Had to back Claud and Goldie at Haydock. So lightly raced and never runs a bad one. Connections only seem to run him when there’s a chance of placing and he’s got a decent enough ew price. And I did back Clyne at 50’s in my not discounting old favourites policy. Especially with Evan Williams doing so well at the moment. My Sayar winnings have given me pennies to throw at old favourites.
Outer of the three for me in the Ascot Hurdle.
Even though she might be rejuvenated by the move to Nicholls, I just can’t trust Laurina after a massively disappointing last season, and Call Me Lord......I dunno.....have a suspicion his form isn’t all it’s cracked-up to be, and that he might not like it up him.
Song For Someone had the look of a still-progressive horse to me last season, and with Symond’s yard still bombing along nicely, I’ll take my chances.

Long way home from the back of the last at Haydock, isn’t it? Commodore also off the front-end throughout, and maybe just got tired.

Not much going my way so far. Our Power's mistake early in the straight must have taken a fair bit out of him. Umbrigado lost ground and momentum at the last. No complaints about the winner; he was a 'p P?' on my ratings so not out of calculations but you can't back 'em all!

What a complete star Main Fact. Loved the bit they did on the owner too.

That's absurd from Main Fact - did he join in up the straight?!
Lovely. Thank god I got one of Pipes right.
Finding it hard to get a decent winner of late and had given up on Main Fact when they jumped the last. Incredible! Well done the young lad to have the confidence to hold up the challenge until such a late stage.

First Flow and Song For Someone, Grasshopper! Brilliant stuff. Hope you doubled them.
