"The owls are not what they seem"
Be staring at Epatantes backside up the home straight
The Coral hurdle is a grade 2 and the going at Ascot is Soft, forecast Soft with Good to Soft in places and it attracts 3 runners.
The whole 7 race card has attracted a grand total of 46 horses.
You'd think connections would be taking up opportunities to run their horses with the current uncertainty. Meetings get called off in the coming weeks & months due to COVID and they'll soon be moaning.
Alcohol, because no good story ever started with "I was eating this salad..."
Wonder what would it take for Honeysuckle to run in this come March?
Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done
Goshen not declared. I'm hoping for a bulletin. Hope he's still on track.

Pulled a week ago because of a bad scope, so presumably still not clear.
Epatante evens for tomorrow.
Sweet Lord that’s a price and half. I’m unloading the wheelbarrow as we speak.
There appears to be money in opposition for arch-woofer Sceau Royal.
I may join you in the wheel-barrow action.
Where is the Evs, DoubleJ?

Do we think the ground is going to be genuinely Good at Newcastle tomorrow?
If so, I might actually back Silver Streak.

SS very good first time up, ground suits, fitness on his side, and I have an instinctive distrust of Mares.
Dunno. Just musing. Evens does look a steal at face value - but equally, is a little worrying.....she should really be a 4/6 chance max at these weights.

The price is confusing. I’d be more inclined to back her at 4/6 then I am evens. And all the rumblings of Saint Roi being JPs number 1, and Nicky thrusting Buveur being back down our throats. Got me wondering is everything not all it seems.
I’m trusting my gut though, I’ve gone in. Sometimes people try to read too much into these races and comments, and I’m hoping this is the case here. It’s an expensive day if I’m wrong though

Ok tks Nick. I will add my golden rule which is never ever back a McManus horse if its odds on.
