    Decided to give White Rhino another chance. I think it’s odds on he gets in this time.

    He was very disappointing at Uttoxeter, and it’s hard to know what went wrong. He had no issue with Huntingdon so hard to believe it was the sharp track. Hopefully, he can resume his progress. The 20/1 (with a possible boost) seemed like a fair price to explore that possibility.

    I took West To The Bridge for the Friday Hurdle, more so for the price than anything else, but I’d be favouring Johnnywho or Kyntara if they went.

    That’s the pair I like at the head of the market, but of the outsiders, Chantry House, and particularly Floueur make EW appeal, but I’ll hold off for enhanced EW terms on the day

    White Rhino not declared. It’s always more annoying when a horse is ‘jocked up’ and then doesn’t go. What’s the reason other than helping out the bookmakers? This comes on top of the puzzling run last time.

    I usually avoid backing anything coming from a 0-125 last time but HONOR GREY piqued my interest enough for a fun play. It was a nice win after 482 days off after a victory over c+d and the 2nd scooted up next time in a 0-140.
    16/1

    Black bamboo for me.

    Backed him at Cheltenham and it was a combination of a poor ride and a difficult position throughout that cooked his goose.

    Did stay on well and definitely going to improve for the extra distance.

    West Balboa

    Was hoping for a lot bigger price when the entries came out. After a couple of poor runs returned from a break at Kempton where she was never given a chance really, without a doubt she will of gone into a few notebooks that day.

    The stewards must of been having a game of poker or something because for me it was a shocking watch, probably the worst i have seen for years. She was tailed off before the last and joined the winner after the line, maybe the jockey thought they had half a mile still to run or something. It would of been far better to pull her up two out and everyone would of got 20/1 instead. :yes:

    Yep, West Balboa looks like a plot job but like botchy, I was really hoping for a better price. I’m on at 6s.

    Gwennie May Boy has also come in for support and looks a different horse since being switched from Jonjo. Up 13lb for his last 2 wins but could still be improving.

    Torn between Johnnywho and Chantry House for the win. Totally missed the 33’s on Chantry, and he’s still getting backed. I’ll just wait till the morning now.

    Definitely betting Floueur EW, and he’s a big price. Don’t see why he can’t make a good go at making the frame.

    Floueur 50’s EW7Pls

    I’m going with Bold Endeavour and Red Risk here. I haven’t bet them yet though, as they are both drifting at this time

    J’ai Froid is have a nice season despite his age. Running against good opposition like Kyntara and Cuthbert Dibble. He might surprise at a big price.

    J’ai Froid 33/1 EW

    Black Bamboo will come up trumps sooner or later. Today hopefully.

    The things I want most in life are the things that I can't win.

    I’m not a massive fan of the yard, but their Soringwell Bay was running a big race yesterday. In that I’ve taken 10-1 Johnnywho

    Thanks Mike, Yep, I was on.

    Skeltons have done nothing but win for me this past 4 weeks.

    You have to wonder what Jonjo was up to with this horse as he looks a totally different class now.
