    I think in hindsight he will come on a lot for the run, and the first two obviously wanted to win it badly. I thought for a moment he was going to win but they gained a length on him where it mattered. It's rare that I follow horses again and again if they don't deliver, but I think Forest Bihan is an exception. He might just have something like the Grand Annual in March stamped on his forehead where he will be a tasty each way price.

    Especially those Ellison horses - get better with age martin

    Damn mcGrath let me down on a decent trixie with kilcrea vale - I always bet against him but didn't listen to my own advice doooohhh. Other 2 nice prices on eddiemaurice and doitforthevillage made up for a nice double

    Marbs that Sweeney will b the death of us, looking great till 2 out. After timing but had a shameful bet on CDO that saved my day. Not through good reasoning but thought Nicholls must see something in its betfair chase run that I and a lot of others couldn't.

    My crap picks for tomorrow:

    Doitforthevillage 105c - upped in trip, finally, after trying hard for a while against decent two milers

    Kilcrea vale 305k - jumping reliable enough needs testing at 3m, even a woefully out of form McGrath failing to get better odds though

    Eddiemaurice 335k - a real pacey type that suits kempton, this possibly a target

    Vlr & DC Welsh nash

    Skelton lucky15 @ wetherby - bounceback factor

    Well done with those today, I put the first 3 in a 50p EW lucky 15 with gigsy's selection today, as I didn't have time to look at the cards properly myself, £15 stake £430 return!

    Nice one ! Sorry about McGrath factor - never again, how he keeps his job at Seven Barrows I'll never know - could replace him and geraghty for Cobden or Fehily and double his tally fgs

    No need to apologise GG, he was too short for me in the betting when I looked at it. I hope he runs well for connections in future.

    Good stuff Geoff, well deserved.

    Don't miss my long shot in Ireland today - grab best placed terms...and so forth..

    I also fancy Sam Hitchcott to land a winner or two (or three) over at Jebel Ali in Dubai later this morning/afternoon.

    E/W lucky 15 for moi.
