Still three big handicaps to come tomorrow Mark B. You might have a better chance with them rather than the Championship races, which as you say can throw up unpredictable results after a long season. Coko Beach goes again tomorrow, if he was 5/4 yesterday can't see why he should be 11/4 tomorrow, other than the fact that it was two days ago. He just doesn't stay 4 miles, even over the banks

I’ve been persuaded cheers Sammy 🙈😂👍🏻

I did look at the 2.30 race and it looks a mess to be honest, horses than ran miles only 2 days earlier and out of form horses. I would have picked Roi Mage after his 9th at the GN, but he’s not been withdrawn. Thankfully they’ve withdrawn Coko Beach too, I really think this was his race today and not the 4 miler on Thursday. If I was picking I’d choose Genois to finally break his duck.

I’ll watch the 3.05 and have picked History of Fashion after it’s 5th at Fairyhouse, it will be interesting to see if Klarc Kent kicks on after the good run at Ayr.

Also the 3.42 Lossiemouth is usually a good watch and looks a class apart but at 1/5 I’m not going there, any horse can get a jump wrong, so gone for RB on Telmesomethinggirl

Good luck, with whatever you’re on. 👍🏻

I’ve thrown a dart at Klarc Kent in the 3.05. EW 5 places.

I found some loose change down the back of the sofa and split it between History Of Fashion, Ontheropes and Atacanter.

He's gone and done it now Seven towers. As near as damnit anyway

Perhaps Chianti Classico is a player after all!

Oh dear, we lost Foxy Jacks! was around just now to watch banks replay, seeing the result first and amused the horse taken out by loose horse two days previously won,. but it didn't mention Foxy Jacks fatality. Seeing he was unable to get back up, I feared the worst😟 paused the replay and looked it up elsewhere, not watched rest of race. He was enjoying himself too, never the best jumper he was however a fine looking horse enjoying his best season, what a shame.

I only found out today as I missed the race. I follow Mouses horses so it’s yet another old friend gone.
