    He's gone at the game, for the time being anyway.

    David Bridgewater's, Cohesion, who was entered in The Ebor, and a horse myself, Moehat, and Luke (?), were chatting about, is entered in The November handicap. He had a spin over hurdles recently where he finished second. On the flat, he could be anything, and I mean, anything! Best priced 25/1 for Saturday at present.

    Just a sporting interest for me. I'll take Cohesion, Mirsaale, and Eddystone Rock against the field, as I've followed these three at some point during the flat season.

    I'm very sweet on Captain Buck's in second race at Newbury. Has fair form generally, but standout could be when splitting Bags Groove and Steely Addition (bolted-up yesterday), in an early novice outing. Trainer and jockey in flying-form, and happy to take fitness on trust, as he could be chucked in here off 124. Only minor concern is that he has been kept to RH tracks to-date.

    Some good market support for McCain's Chti Balko in the 3:20. He just caught me eye, as he needs to be excused the last run. This isn't the most competitive handicap hurdle I've ever seen, so I think he can go close today. He's rated 135 but my hunch is he'll be ready to roll and they won't waste time pissing about waiting for a better handicap mark. I could be wrong, usually am! A lot depends on how the Nichols horse does, (who I'm happy to oppose at the prices). Anyways, Chti Balko is 12's into 7's. Maybe a small reverse forecast with the Nichols horse for cover is worth doing too.

    Will have to throw a few quid at it on Saturday morning.

    Top man! No after-timing, so for the record, I'm doing Cohesion ,Eddystone Rock and Mirsaale. One of these three will rattle the crossbar, I feel it in my waters!

    I liked 2 of the 3 posted my thoughts on the long shot thread Marb.

    Tomorrow I'm hoping V can turn back the clock 20 years when she won the Badger Ales with the wonderful Teeton Mill She sends another grey Vic de Touzaine to get the job done tomorrow 14/1 still available I've had a touch higher than that antepost. Ran a cracker first time up grinding down Boric in the closing stages at Carlisle. Put put 7lb for that win and Boric put up 6lb. Boric then reappered in the Durham National only just failing to reel in one the good Doctor had laid out for it. To me it emphasises how well VDT did to get the better of him conceding lumps of weight and coming from behind to grind down a strong stayer. Forecast more rain should help matters also.

    Good luck, Danny. At 33/1 each, either Cohesion and Eddystone Rock are good value each ways, or they've both got no chance! As I say, small stakes, sporting interest for me.

    Aintree 1.40
    Winningtry should shape loads better than at Newton Abbot where he looked badly in need of the run. Was hoping for bigger than 5/1 though
    Wincanton 1.50
    Ellen’s Way may be worth a small interest at 12/1. Obviously risks attached as she’s been off a long time but looks well handicapped if at her best
    Wincanton 3.35
    Mr Mix can extend his record at the track. Got 12/1 last night and sure to go off much shorter

    I’m a NH fan through and through but aside from my own poor judgement costing me, I’m not keen on seeing too many more meetings like Wincanton again today.

    Houblon Des Obeax could be a good thing at Sandown off a lenient mark. I'm looking for a win double. So has anyone got a strong fancy, between about 2 and 4 /1? Help me out!

    Fidux looks a decent price here. Took 10/1 last night but now only 7s. Skybet and Lads going 4 places

    Good call.

    Shame Fidux couldn’t oblige too but seemed to get distracted by the flapping hurdle after the winner stepped through the last. No guarantee he’d have got past anyway though

    Keep a betting-market check on The Blue Bomber in the 4:00 at Kempton. The nine runners makes it an appealing race each way. The Blue Bomber hasn't ran since April. The Racing Post says he left Mick Channons yard for his new handler only five days ago on 7th November 2017. So he's now with jumps trainer Caroline Fryer, and obviously turns out quickly for her. The Blue Bomber had fair form when second in a twelve grand national hunt flat-race at Cheltenham in 2016. He placed in novice hurdles when fancied in the betting. They are either running this quickly for fresh air and to get tailed off, or there's more to this than meets the eye. He's been dropped from 120 to 112 in the handicap which looks good.16/1 is a price worth speculating to accumulate.
