Thanks for the Daily Thread again Attivo. Definitely the board hero!

Bloody awful bumper at Musselburgh tomorrow so lets no go mad. That said, I think I have the winner.

WEMYSS POINT 6/1 Muss 5:25

Finished fast and just in front of the favourite on debut. That was in a Class 6. Connections then decided to try him in a Class 4 and he was readily outpaced from three out by some fair looking animals. He did stay on well all the same and was pegging them back a little at the finish. The third and fourth that day have run since and both have won so there is a semblance of respect to the form. Now back in a Class 6 so really should be in with a major shout!

Good luck if you play.

Paddyplex 8/1 took my eye in that race tomorrow but i can't oppose you the form you're in. Win single on yours and reverse forecast i think and leave mine unbacked
 
No opinions on that Musselburgh bumper, meself, but one runner contained within really does highlight the vagaries and huge uncertainties of racehorse ownership. Let it be a warning to you all, pilgrims. Faraday Effect was bought, as a foal, for €420,000. In July 2016 he was put back through the sales ring and went for £1,000 gns! He’s a half-bro to an Irish 1,000 winner (Just The Judge) but this is his handler’s first ever runner in a Bumper! Never heard of the old girl but she has got a lovely name for a trainer.

Gelded no doubt
 
Thanks Ron, think we'll win, but loads of injuries, decent odds for a draw. should be a great match with some atmosphere.
 
Well I'll be cheering for ROI because Martin O'Neil got us into the League and won promotion in our first season. A legend at Adams Park, home of the mighty Wycombe Wanderers
 
Guppy was a decent player in his day, ended up at the bhoys under Marty!!!! he was past it by then though!
 
Stop talking about food. I have a dodgy tummy and all I'm allowed is toast, with hardly any butter on it, and water. Then the wife only comes out with strawberries and cream - none for me. I left the room immediately :steam:

Sounds nasty, hope it sorts out soon old boy.
 
A spicy chicken and mozzarella ciabatta - known in the particular Glasgow shop I get it from as an Enzo. 7/10

Today's 3 picks:
Global Dream (Newbury 2:30 8lb rise from last time out but should like good-ish ground)
Duelling Banjos (Newbury 3:40)
Optimus Prime (Newbury 4:10 - bit wary that it's top weight but only really has I'm a Game Changer as competition)
