    Have been in contact with IS, he will post later but sounds as if the main bet will be Peacocks Secret in the last.

    Tricky card tonight so will just post the best value bets.

    5:00 - Downbythestrand @ 25/1. Had to know what to make of this race, as ever a few classy types down in trip but this horse is proven in this kind of race and along with Sam Cavallaro is worth a bet.

    5:35 - Getting Closer @ 16/1. I've already backed Hadmeathello but I made this one roughly around the same price with a very useful amateur up in Izzie Marshall.

    18:10 - Moscow Prices @ 22/1. Should barely be a double figure price in this field.

    18:45 - Summer Sounds @ 25/1. Blundered at a crucial stage in the Intermediate Final a couple of years ago and while not getting any younger he's no backnumber here. The price is huge with the useful Alice Stevens up.

    19:15 - Fishy Story @ 12/1. Favourite should prove very hard to beat but I was disappointed with Miss Seagreen of late who'd have been a clear second best on her earlier form. The price on the selection looks big if the 8 runners hold.

    19:45 - Optimised @ 12/1. Runner-up in this a few years ago and stays well unlike a few in here. Should be other bets in this race.

    20:15 - Eric The Third @ 40/1. I made the Dale Peters horse Peacocks Secret the bet of the night but the value has gone (was 10's first show last night and 15/2 for a while).

    Irish Stamp - it would be great if you could share a few thoughts tomorrow for the Stratford meeting tomorrow evening . A few short favourites and smaller fields than Cheltenham hunter chase evening.
    Got decent word myself for Ulster black water in the 505 at Fairyhouse tomorrow evening , 7/4 not the greatest price but I’m on after others snapped up the brief 3/1 .

    Gats and Co won really nicely at Cothelstone when I was there and will be going Novice Chasing after this run.

    Yes sadly it’s no more. Went there a few times when I lived in Newmarket. Not sure where the meetings are planning to move to yet.

    The wonderful Porlock Bay plus connections today at a delayed celebration lunch first at the yard and then the local pub. Although he’s not the biggest horse you can see how big the trophy is! Cheltenham very kindly let them “borrow” it as it usually doesn’t leave the course but because they weren’t able to be there on the day an exception was made. They collected it yesterday at a formal presentation at Cheltenham and Will’s six month old son was placed in the cup!
    Very special day and I felt honoured to have been asked. All the former Wessex jockeys who had won the race in the past were there....Harriet Tucker, Bryony Frost, Polly Curling, Tim Mitchell and Justin Farthing as well as Paul Nicholls.

    Interesting. Thanks DG. Bar the ex Chris Barber horse, no West Country Horses there which is strange considering we have such a strong contingent here. I’ll have a look through my notes from last season although they got so wet at Cothelstone, they are probably indecipherable!

    Philip Hobbs trained Rolling Dylan out hunting this morning under daughter, Diana. This was the horses first time out and he was beautifully behaved having only run at Sandown last weekend. He will now revert to Pointing.
    Hobbs sends quite a few out hunting as a change of scenery and they do love it.

    I know a few of you on here aren’t big fans of Luke Harvey but I have to say he’s a dream to interview! He was at my local Point to Point today with his lovely young horse, Spanish Jump who won nicely last time. He couldn’t have won easier today and is looking to be a serious horse. The ground was quite soft today and he only ran him because he has to work at Cheltenham and there’s no one else to ride him next week.

    (Pictured above with my friendly bookie, Mike Smith....I backed 4 winners with him today so apparently I am buying him a drink on Tuesday...!)
    Luke does everything for the horse.....rides him out, trains him, drives the lorry, leads up...he’s so unbelievably passionate about Pointing too.
    Also among the winners today was a 5yo half sister by Shirocco to Shishkin! Seriously classy mare, owned and bred by a lovely old boy called Clive Bennett who bred Shishkin as well.
