    Sorry!
    Anyway having put up a favourite thats got beaten i have half a fancy for a long priced outsider in the last.
    Clockmaker runs from its lowest mark since winning here in 2010 and generally runs in better class races than this, usually in class 2/3 and won in the summer at Goodwood from a mark off 87. This time last year he ran 2nd in a class 2 here off 94 btn just 1/4 length behind Loyalty, the reason for his huge price is the distance dropping down to 6fs. At 33/1+ could be worth a little EW bet, good luck.

    Spot on, gigs. He had his best season last year followed by his worst this year. It`s only a small stable with low quality horses and he does find it very hard finding attracting new owners with the cash to buy better horses. Also, he`s had plenty of bad luck with injuries to his better horses. He has Lydiate Lady and Toni`s A Star out today. The latter is obviously the better but Lydiate Lady is much better than her last run. Wouldn`t advise a bet on either but myself will be having a small interest on Toni.

    No Buts can win the 2:40 at Newbury. A progressive chaser last season, he's more interesting at nearly double Sound Investment's price, as the latter had a previous run before his last win ,whereas No Buts will come on a lot for his first run and is six pound better off with Sound Investment.
    No Buts with ten stone on his back in soft ground has a major chance.

    Won a few quid early on and going to place lay Coneygree for the lot -withdrawn by the vet last week-how often do you get the chance to lay one of them at odds on.

    Withdrawn on little ground though, according to the trainer.

    The trainer absolutely freaked out! Did you not see her interview on ATR?
    My reading between the lines that day was that they thought the horse was a good thing and had it heavily backed.
    We've already seen numerous horses win this season after 600+ day lay off.
    It's also been much stronger in the market today than Dell A'rca so it looks like they fancy it again....

    Cheers everyone. That's a welcome boost ahead of the Fighting Fifth tomorrow where I'll be attending.

    The Hennessy is really competitive with plenty of chances, and therefore any analysis is harder to compress, as more things can go wrong. I do like Annacotty though, soft ground and a good gallop over this trip makes him appealing. So don't be surprised if he makes the frame!
    Trainer will have Annacotty spot on for this (I hope anyway) so best to judge on him the Feltham win, then factor in his handicap mark etc.
