    Fiscal Rules (J S Bolger)
    Has an Irish 2000 Gns entry, this horse was just touched off in a Curragh maiden last August before he had a setback.
    That may prove a blessing in disguise for his season ahead, some of trainer's best 3yo's had a disrupted juvenile career.
    Better still, Tjukurrpa appears in his family tree so we should adopt him for the season; I know I will !

    Au Claire de Lune, Missunited's second foal ran fifth on debut 2.10 Kempton today.
    She might be one to follow having moved from Richard O'Brien to George Scott this year.
    The older brother with Michael Bell is considered to be a Cup horse this year hopefully .

    Fox Chairman, a 450,000 guinea's purchase as a yearling, has been minded like the high class horse his trainer thinks he'll turn out to be and, though he runs in today's Queen Anne, it's his first race of the season and the ground may be a little on the quick side for him so today's ride may turn out ro be 'educational'. Worth watching today and a hot prospect for the top 1m races later this season, though.

    Siruh Du Lac

    Carried my money in the Paddy Power last Saturday and jumped the last fence in front...only problem was the jockey was unseated at the first!

    But I still think under the care of David Pipe the horse has a big pot in him

    Has Pipey said something? I would have waited until Thursday final declarations, before backing himself.

    I hope he runs. I don't think we've heard anyone debate whether he will stay or not.

    Sure Pipe said this morning on Luck on Sunday that it was the plan.

    I penciled in 2 horses since I was last on.... the first was Ribble Valley after he hacked up in a bumper at Ayr. After he won at Hexam and Wetherby I asked Nicky Richards if he was considering the Arkle and his response was to wait and see how he got on at Ascot...He flopped badly was put away for the season and had an Op on his wind. Came back won with ease at Carlisle and Nicky has decided to throw the 7 year old in at the deep end and find out the time of day..I suspect if he has over-faced him but he runs a good race without winning we will see him heading over fences.

    My other one to follow I caught my eye in his 3rd race/2nd chase. The brilliant Daryl Jacob was giving him plenty time to get organised and the horse wade a few novice errors but at the business end when the pace lifted there it was the WOW factor...He won with ease and then he was 2nd fav in a 3 horse race at Wincanton....Daryl Jacob as soon as they were off looked full of confidence and the horse answered every call in an awesome performance...Soon to turn 5 years old the festival is on the cards...this horse looks set for the top IMO

    Hi Colin Thanks ..it's been a while good to see you are still around ..I Got a contract to design and build 12 houses from scratch including the infrastructure..Planning I got without a hitch finish the perimeter wall road drainage piling etc then thought about the next 5 or 6 years it will take to complete...It is one of the hottest areas in Thailand so I decided to quit as I am no spring chicken...possibly might do one more build in Pattaya which is 600km south of here and much cooler then quit for good..Drive everyone crazy by posting 10 times a day LOL

    Good to see the horse finally have his next race today [2.48 Wetherby]

    Is over hurdles though, current odds of 15-8
