    Bit of a disappointing turnout, but it aligns with recent renewals and other similar handicaps.

    I have missed the price completely on White Rhino, but I might just have a small go so I don’t feel too bad if he goes on and wins it. I’m in two minds about gong to Aintree on Saturday, but if I do go I’ll likely have a small token bet on Twig on course.

    Main bet is Galia Des Liteaux and I’m relieved they opted for this over Sandown.

    A few fancies are not running. Glad i didnt have an antepost.
    GDL will get his ground, as well, Peter, although he hasnt won for 2 years. Plenty of the wet stuff forecast, for that part of the UK over the next 36 hours.

    Early punt on

    Val Dancer 18/1 win only (Boosted)
    :good:
    Last of 9 for season’s pipe opener, but the likely soft going and trip shouldnt be an issue. It’ll be a gruelling race on Saturday, i reck.

    Added Roi Mage as planned, weather forecast shouldn’t be an issue for him. Covered it with Skybet as they’re more likely to hold the four places, should there be a few withdrawals

    I’ll add Val Dancer as backup to that pair over the weekend. Big fan of Val Dancer, and I’m sure he wins a big one this year, just didn’t expect it to be this. Was hoping he’d go for a repeat at Chepstow

    If Bill Baxter wins, I’ll take it on the chin, just completely missed the price

    Roi Mage 33’s EW 4Pls
    Val Dancer
    White Rhino 25’s

    Gaboriot the percentage call but since 1997 only Earth Summit has won wearing blinkers, which is not ideal. That said only 43 have run in them in that time with a further 3 runners up but Coko Beach was the first since 2001.

    I might have a cheeky bit on Twig @ 33’s for s&g’s
