    Our boy is in very good form at home and tomorrow's race is pretty weak for a Class 4. My only concern is that I cannot see where the pace will come from but if they go a crawl we will make our own running. I seriously fancy him tomorrow and if all eight stand their ground I think 9/1 is a knocking good each way price.

    The very best of luck with Squire lads <ok>

    I must say this is probably my least favourite time of year for racing - the long gap between the Christmas highlights and Cheltenham really draws out and there are only a few smatterings of decent racing before the festival :(

    Good luck with Squire. Has it to do against Loyalty but hope he does it.

    Anyone on the Ertijaals double (4.15 - is the one who was trained by Haggas& 5.25- is the MDK trained )tomorro over at Meydan <laugh>

    On the note of Meydan, some interesting horses appearing tomorrow with some interesting change of connections. None more so than The Happy Prince for AOB now with James Moore (who?!?) and looks like Coolmore has cut their losses with him too running in new colours!

    Emotionless 4.50 Meydan. Expecting this one to bounce back to form tomorrow. Yard confidence seems high and that to me seems significant considering they have said in the past when not working well. Looks a poor Group 2 this. Was a big fan of Polar River but she was most disappointing on her return.

    Thanks all, fingers crossed. Waiting for the non runner but so far so good! I've always thought Squire's level on AW was class 5s but this is a weak looking class 4 with all bar one of his opponents well beaten last time out. While he was beaten 3 1/2 lengths the race wasnt run to suit as they went a crawl, he was keen and it turned into a sprint - Adam wasnt hard on him. Working well, C & D form..... 9-1 - be mad not to have a bit on ew.

    Autumn Tonic 12.35 Southwell 9/1 ew
    Third run for this yard. Didn't get a clear run last time. Was stay on well towards the finish. On a career low mark.

    If memory serves me right I think he may have emigrated to Australia?Galaxy is another old poster who seems to have dissapeared ( great tipster).Best of luck with the Squire beast Stickler/Don.I've had a wee ew wager so will be cheering him home!
    Interesting that Adrian McGuinness is sticking around for the next at Wolvy with Pivot Bridge after Oor Jock finally broke his duck last night.Horses form is dodgy but Kirby is a positive booking.Few in with a chance so happy to sit this one out without a wager
