    Yep I can see that Granger, but he's not looked slow so far over 2 miles, so happy to give him another go

    Slate house will be stepped up now
    Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done

    For sure
    There's something gnawing away at me though with Tizzards runners as a few (Finians & Slate House yesterday) have run strange races. Not trying to find excuses, but wouldn't be surprised if something came to light

    Slate house has run as well as could be expected if you use Sommerville Boy as a bench mark

    Not much you can do when a horse shits a brick everytime it sees a fence ..shocking jumper with a big engine needs to go see Yogi asap

    I've had the same feeling Ben. Hobbs has been the same recently, and Fry. Not running shockingly badly but nor do they appear to be quite right. Although Tanlic is spot on, they can't jump like that for half the race and expect to win.

    If the cap fits is prob not going to be a supreme winner but definitely a chaser of note for the following season

    Sharjah must show very little at home given the generous prices he's gone off (relative to the quality of the race)in all 3 of his outings for Willie.

    He's tempting at 14s. Travelled like way the best horse in that race.

    Professional jockey and better ground will see him to better extent

    I’ve been tempted myself as he was really traveling but not sure I’d agree with better ground suiting and the fav had crashed out at the time.

    Don’t think the winner is housed in Ireland this year but that doesn’t mean I know who or where. Claimantakin looking stronger perhaps.
    Alcohol, because no good story ever started with "I was eating this salad..."

    Tolworth tomorrow

    Not a bad roll of honour at all

    Finians and Yorkhill the last two winners

    The jolly is short enough

    I cannot desert Kalashnikov in this one. I noted him at Wetherby in early November - there's sure to be a bloodbath at Sandown tomorrow, after he's gunned his rivals down.

    The Lawlor Hurdle at Naas this weekend, is a belter - even in Samcro's absence.

    I'm considering laying Next Destination. It has that feel of an upset, as well as a cloud over Mullins yard.
