    I’m having a small win bet on Young Turk in that race, even though I think Robin should win. I was impressed last time.

    Good luck

    Hard luck on us both!! Glad to see they both got up, hope my lad’s neck and your boy’s back end are alright. Two decent horses as are the winner and Clara Sorrento. Improvement to be had all round..you could tell it was a novices’ chase. I still love RdF- think he just went to come up then changed his mind then changed it back. Just a novice mistake. Will keep following him. 3 miles might be better to give him time to think but perhaps they are aiming to sharpen his fencing with the 2.5.

    They both came back, that’s the main thing.

    Still haven’t seen it, but sounds as if Turk was held when he fell.

    Not convinced Agrapart necessarily has to have soft ground.

    No bets for me yesterday (sulking, cos Up For Review didn’t run, and also working so didn’t see the racing)
    But have a couple of bets for interest today

    I was rather taken with Aramon
    on his runs so far and have 1pt win on him at 5-1 for the Royal Bond

    Blazer didn’t get harshly treated for his Galway 2nd. 20s in the handicap hurdle is worth an interest. Tombstone might be ticking over for something else but 33s was too tempting for him.
    0.5 pt EW on both

    Good luck with Blazer.

    Wasn’t going to bother much today, but just cracked in The Drinmore. I’m definitely with Blazer.

    Ruby rarely gets on the wrong one and I like Coquin Mans but all the same, I’m going with Bapaume for the Galmoy.

    Great effort from Bapaume there, good shout, and no harm in getting done by Presenting Percy.

    Disappointed not to see Drovers Lane in The Reynoldstown. Really like your shout for him in RSA, but might hold off just now.

    Fair old price for the pair of them Grass. I really like that Bellow Mome, smashing comeback at Gowran, and on another day I’d be with him.

    I’ll be willing on Robin for you, hope he does the business.

    I jolly hope he does the business too as Monatomic is a NR, leaving 4 horses in the race and disappearing my EW stake in a puff of smoke. That’ll teach me to back horses EW the night before in a 5 runner race! Annoyingly, the place half of the bet is lost even if he wins. I had always thought that there was one place (1st) in a 4 runner race but apparently not.
    On the flipside, because there are only 4 runners and therefore no places, he has drifted to 8-1 so hurrah for BOG. He just has to win now….

    Correction: he has drifted to 9-1 and is the outsider of the field.
    So I did the only sensible thing and stuck a fiver on ;-)

    1545 Naas Robin des Foret 9-1 5pts win

    Come on Robin!

    Well that was grim. He gave himself a fair old wrench behind at the first and looked miserable thereafter. Hope he is OK.
