    KATTANGA FELLOW HUMANS
    JUST a swift advent greetings to you all before I slink off to warmer climates.
    great racing today----ive took a massive price on CAPTAIN SHARPE 1-10 Newcastle,trained by a local fiddler who likes to get his corn for the winter with a horse that has no chance--form Pissed it,Pissed it,Pissed it.
    my main fancy is FLETCHERS FLYER in the big chase ascot---this one will mean the difference on the old xmas dinner table--upgrading from a tin of PEK chopped pork to a full steer of Aberdeen angus beef,horns ripped off ,arse wiped.
    good luck all today

    Good start from Buveur. Economical but not spectacular.

    That turn of foot at the end was quite nice. I do wonder though whether he might actually be brought back to hurdles. He didn't look overly big!

    Agreed. Saw off some decent animals without coming out of first gear. She has to be somewhere near as good an animal the home team has for the mares hurdle!

    Stick I also like WOW Stick and backed him Ew; recent spin at Kempton should have him in good knick although slight drift in price is a concern.Having a saver on Who Dares Wins.

    Not a big yard Ste and some huge confidence behind the jolly so I am not too worried by the drift.
