    In doing so they have ignored the advice of their civil servants and not considered the evidence sufficiently.

    This tends to be what a cartel of so called progressives deliver.

    Well done Mr Pullin. Had a very wet Thursday morning in south east Wales which could have easily swept to Prestbury but didn’t to any great extent. It is spring for goodness sake.

    No doubt Willie wanted them to produce DRF type ground. Yeah let’s have a running on the spot type Gold Cup like the Ten Up and Davy Lad ones.

    Willie needs to take a drop more water with it.

    These programmes are a bit later then ‘Out Of Town’. It seems they were for Channel 4 after Southern lost the ITV franchise. Rewind TV are showing them.

    From what I saw I’d tend to agree that it looked a scenario where you could feel imperilled.

    Old Jack Hargreaves paid a visit to Appleby Fair on a programme made in the mid ’80s which aired the other day.I was a bit surprised to see a Marston’s pub in Appleby high street.

    The spring targets on the flat suggested mooted by some seem to be worth c. £50k -70k. Mr Buckley didn’t seem very excited by those options. Winning the Champion Hurdle would get him about £250k

    Perhaps the John Porter etc seems a bit too vin ordinaire for the old bon viveur.

    No, his participation would make the first day a bore with saturation coverage and post race gush if it turns out happily. Bitter recriminations if it doesn’t.

    Perhaps the size of the crowd was compromised by a clash with that ‘head bobber’ at Twickenham up the road and covered (very poorly) by the main ITV channel.

    The whole thing is a bit vulgar.

    I’d be using the woozy sounds of Being For The Benefit Of Mr Kite as the pre race soundtrack.
    Perhaps our equine hero could become Konstitution Hill for the night as he is the beneficiary.

    Let’s hope he doesn’t do the ‘summersets’.

    He’s a very good horseman and has been very successful in France. He must have an incredible pain tolerance threshold to even want to come back after those injuries.

    I think he had Prince Rock with Peter Bailey but that’s a bit antediluvian.

    I was thinking of more recent horses whose fortunes took an abrupt turn for the worse like Constitution Hill’s seem to be.

    Thinking back to other good horses Buckley has owned. Spirit River won the Coral Cup at Cheltenham but fell in consecutive chases and fell again back over hurdles that season. He wasn’t much good after and was sold cheaply.

    The very good prospect Spirit Son , second in a Supreme picked up injuries in the stable at home and retired young, not living long in retirement.

    Good day for Herefordshire yards with Lacey and Symonds landing good prizes as well as Venetia coming in from the cold.
