    Monbeg Genius was probably the standout for me, but couldn’t consider him just now, as he’s got an entry at Exeter

    Val Dancer will always be of interest, but off the back of two hard races, I won’t risk him just now either. He finished behind Aworkinprogress last time, and couldn’t rule him out either, but I’m more inclined to wait till Spring now with him

    Might be a bit of a stretch, but a horse I’ve never shown an interest in before, Famous Bridge, is one I’m keeping an eye on for the next couple of months

    Definitely no bet for now

    Final Decs – Monbeg Genius 12’s

    They should rename this race.

    How many entered for Haydock are even entered for Aintree? About three or four!

    One of my old favs, Bobby, Famous Bridge but He’s not been himself all season and something is amiss or he’s just had enough for now. Was always a pure grinder but seems to find nothing off the bridle this season. I wonder if he lost his appetite for the business after a hard race in The Ultima.

    Myretown is surely gonna put it all in one day. Isn’t he? He’s well handicapped. But this is last chance saloon for him now with me.

    I’m not sure that taking the 4-1 just now on Myretown was that sensible right now, but I’ve taken it anyway

    Neo King could be an improving type. Backed him at 20/1 EW.

    I see Lucinda is back with a bang: 3 winners, a 2nd and a 3rd from 5 today. So I’ll back Myretown for this and at 40s for the Grand National.

    Good luck

    I wasn’t ready for Lucinda’s return to form, but that will make things more interesting. Hopefully the meeting will go ahead.

    Myretown is a talking horse just like Ahoy Senor and can’t jump properly you’ve fallen for another one and got sucked in again lol. Joking aside, as talented as he might be, i’ve not been liking his iffy jumping this season, and likely won’t be any easier to get the feet up and over on this ground today if the race is still on. So went with Deafening Silence ew instead who finished 4 and a quarter lengths behind a horse now rated 166 last time and runs here off 134.

    I will back my old pal Git Maker for this. He gets his ground and is on a very dangerous mark. Hope he jumps better then last time.

    Git Maker 12/1
