How great to see Munir & Souede’s decision to send Intense Raffles to Tom Gibney - as opposed to Mullins et al - pay off and we can only hope that it encourages a gradual distribution by the powerhouse owners of their horses across the smaller stables. Though I suspect it won’t.

Congratulations Anadin and thanks as ever to New Approach for running it and Grass for sponsoring it again. After 2 years of the trophy sitting on my desk it's time to let it go so @Anadin, DM me your address and I'll get it engraved and into the post for you. Are you really in Spain ???

Don't know yours went Grass but I finally made the front page of the Racing Post, sadly not for having a 1,000,000 acca come in but for this very discussion.

The decision will have to be made by then as Tuesday’s 48 hour decs will go in.

Now 5/4. 8/11 Gd-Sft

I don't need to see a weather forecast to tell me that 13/8 about the ground remaining worse than good-soft over the next 6 days is too big.

Not that well though James. Soft, heavy in places 6 days out with rain forecast. It'll surely take a miracle for it to be good-soft Tuesday morning. The 13/8 Soft (inc Soft, heavy in places) is wrong. Good-Soft is 4/7 and they should be the other way around

There's a dry run up until the weekend but then rain all weekend and through to the day itself. Betting on going descriptions is not something I'd ever normally do but Skybet have surely made a rick in having good-soft odds on and Soft available at 13/8. It's the first description they announce...

This morning in the RP Jonjo O’Neill was left scratching his head after Monbeg Genius’s below-par effort at Kelso last weekend but said he may use the Ultima Handicap Chase as preparation for next month's Randox Grand National. The eight-year-old was pushed out to 33-1 (from 16) with Coral for...

My Thursday has just blown up in light of Elliott confirming on RTV that Irish Point is now going for the Champion Hurdle. Tw*t. I had lots at 16s and a few fivers at 32

Wednesday my quietest day AP by far and currently returns revolve around Ballyburn (if he runs) and Slade Steel (if he doesn't), Fact to File and You Oughta Know/Fleur Au Fusil in the Bumper.

Supreme : Assuming Ballyburn goes Wednesday (50/50 I'd say) I like Jeriko Du Reponet. I get that he hasn't posted any high numbers but the races haven't been run to suit and I like how he's been strong through the line and I think the form of the Rossington Main is better than people are giving...

2 years ago 6 of us flew in from Surrey by private helicopter that picked us up on a grassy area right outside the house into the course followed by 2 x Bentley transfer into the Horse & Groom (great hospitality spot) then return flight that took 35 minutes as opposed to 4.5 hours by train. Cost...

ah, well may your scoring be low (stroke), your winnings large and your beer plentiful

I’m doing exactly the same this year but 10 of us in Benalmadena Mon-Sat. Where you staying Grass ?

Because Hendo reporting that while they won't get the blood test results back until Monday, they were showing a large degree of inflammation.

I thought along similar lines. For all we know, Constitution Hill was carrying 3 stone more and had just gone an extra half mile. I don't doubt for a second that the horse had mucus as I wouldn't dream of questioning a vet's integrity but there are two ways to look at it. Hendo has become...

Tell me about it. I have 16s and a bunch of fivers at 32/1
