    Jodie Standings pointer book is out early October
    Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done

    27 years since I last bought Chasers & Hurdlers but I might invest this time.
    The older I get the better I was.

    Unlikely as his application form requests payment by cheque or 'postal order' (did not know they were still a thing!) so not quite cutting edge technology. Having said that, I love getting the book through the post as is one of the markers of the new jumps season

    Also, looking at my chequebook, I’ve only written one other since my 2018 order!

    Agreed would be great to have Grassy back...

    I actually meant Timeform C&H Perp
