    Bit of a rush job as it’s been a stressful day. Tomorrow could be worse so posting my picks now, with little expectation! Good luck all.

    “We might be left with something akin to the current point-to-point scene, i.e. virtually no media coverage, on course betting only”.

    Sad thing is that many of those currently running UK racing would probably be fine with that

    There are worse bets Eezer. His owner has confirmed it’s a target and he’s got the perfect profile. Long way off but 66-1 is a good price at this stage. Good luck.

    Well done Mickey and Steve. Thought I was in with a shout before the last. Not the first time I have missed a Tony Bloom good thing! At least Brighton won though.

    Thanks for organising Raymo and Tracey.

    “going on TV and encouraging people to bet on other selections would be quite a good idea”

    That explains a lot Richard!

    Seems to me that several of these presenters spend most of the time speculating about who might make the pace and detailing the type of tack a horse is wearing rather than weighing up form etc

    I backed him too. Probably won’t win but seems over priced.

    And Megan and Leone “obviously”, especially when it isn’t

    Clondaw Robin on the non racing agreements list. Seemed to run at every Plumpton meeting but his only win came at Fontwell. Still managed to pick up over £22,000 in 40 odd races over his 6 year career and gave his owners lots of fun.

    And what’s with the sniper clip before the Paddy Power ads after the breaks? Not exactly tasteful at the best of times.

    A few familiar names in the non-racing agreements list including Silver Knott, Ganapathi and Presenting Yeats.

    He was entered at Wolverhampton on 19th August but declared a non-runner due to coughing. Perhaps that’s a clue to his demise.

    66-1 on Cualificar is a great bet Green. I thought he ran an excellent trial given he struggled to get a clear run. Better than a couple of Fabre’s Arc winners…

    Really sad. They don’t have much luck with their Guineas winners what with poor Coroebus and now Ruling Court. R.I.P.
