    My score this week was

    2.20 Doncaster : Twilight Calls (2nd 11/2 : 8 pts )

    3.20 Chester : Paper View (unplaced : 0 pts)

    4.07 Musselburgh : Book Of Life (unplaced : 0 pts)

    6.20 Musselburgh : Carolus Magnus (Nap)(2nd 7/1 : 8 pts)

    Making 16 pts in total, Making 57 over the 2 weeks.

    You've got to accentuate the positive.
    Eliminate the negative.
    Latch on to the affirmative.
    Don't mess with mister in between.

    This week I have scored 25 points.
    Naval Cop 3rd at 8/1 scores 8 pts
    Scoville wins at 5/1 scores 17 pts

    I was really hoping my Nap was going to be a non runner in the last at Chester, once my NB had won and my first reserve had won as well. The extra 30 or so points would have been lovely. Sadly the nag went in the stalls and jogged around finishing second last. Such is life !!

    Thanks, I just thought it was set up perfectly to get a massive score thanks to a non runner. Of course it didn’t happen. Hope I can repeat todays score next week.
    Congratulations on your two week score. I believe you’ve held on for third place.

    Only just, but Rob did give it a good go.

    Not wanting to overstep my mark I’m waiting for Rob, or Nathan to verify it.

    Like England vs France in this year’s world cup.

    Which makes you and Silent Assassin, Argentina and Spain.

    Sorry about the delay, just in from Musselburgh!

    Air Force One – 17
    Callianassa – 4
    Royal Duke – 4

    Last week 23 + 25 for a total of 48.

    Not quite enough and a rather agonising finish as Royal Duke started slowly, ran into all the traffic problems going and still managed 3rd place. He kept on running right down the back straight after he had finished and was only just returning as I walked past the stands bend to the car. Plenty of enthusiasm…, just not quite in the right places!

    Unlucky Rob , I saw that your contest was going down to the last runner.
    Sounds like Royal Duke could be winning again soon if in the mood to do so.
    Your first pick, Air Force One , did really well today , loves the five and a half furlong races.

    It’s still all to play for next week. A winning Nap for you will make all the difference.
    You can guarantee I’ll confuse myself by having too long a shortlist to pick from and not having the correct strategy when it matters.
