    Woop woop…I’m meant to be at a birthday party but ducked home to get spare clothes for the girls who are soaked from the bouncy castle already and stopped to watch. Was fairly hopping as Maltese Cross was coming up the hill behind him.

    I’ve added Action ew to my Christmas Day AP bet, I think he’ll let himself down on the ground better than he did at York and should stay.

    “D.E. Mullins stated that he maintained his line wide off the bend and was deliberately pushed off his line by Marian Avenue and had to take violent action to get back on track to jump the second last hurdle. ”

    Not often one of the other jocks in the stewards’ room is annoyed enough to tell them that the other boy did it on purpose.

    “I see Byrnes the Younger received a 21 day ban from the stewards earlier this week:

    https://www.racingpost.com/news/reports/charles-and-philip-byrnes-winner-disqualified-after-badly-impeding-main-rival-and-forcing-another-to-be-carried-out-agsGg9U6EYiO/

    It looks like he was penalised under the dangerous riding rule. The stewards report states he “rode in a way which was far below that of a competent and careful rider”. ”

    No effort to get his right hand down and straighten the horse at all.
    If I was Friar Hogan’s owner I would be raging, horse was going great guns and horse and jockey had absolutely no chance to stay inside the wings . Danny Mullins on the horse promoted to winner was luckier as he had room to jump and had the presence of mind to ride out strongly to the line and let the horse roll on plenty afterwards, before eventually pulling up, to prove the point that he would have won without interference (and probably so as not to have to turn his head to look at Nine Bob Note Byrnes beside him)

    A friend of mine has Ontheropes and says he is lovely, has settled in really quickly and is a gent to handle and ride. He hacks up in the forestry behind their land and is hopping over little cross country jumps and showjumps and very relaxed about it all.
