The highlight of the summer racing calendar for me! (No, I’m serious) and a beacon of hope amongst all the posers and Arabs that I hate about the flat.
I was at Uttoxeter a month or so ago and saw Gloire D’athon win cosily under Aiden Coleman. I backed both him and killer clown and for a fair part of the race it looked like the clown was gonna do me a very nice touch at 14/1.
The clown is 4lb better off this time and I’m probably going to go in with them both again here.
In all the years in the 1980s when I attended Market Rasen’s Silver Ring, never once did I hear the Lincolnshire venue referred to as “The Raspberry.”
Not even as a young racing journalist, when able to obtain tickets for me and my legendarily tight father to upgrade to the Grandstand, did I hear it thus labelled.
Times….change.
But one thing never changes – and that’s Francky Du Berlais winning the Summer Plate, ably assisted by the bloke I now believe to be the best Jumps jockey in the UK, Sean Bowen.

Another year older, coming up against some younger, better looking rivals.
Remind you of anyone, Ian?
