    8:25 Kempton - Tangramm 33/1 EW. Nothing to get carried away with, only small stakes but if rediscovering a little bit of the old spark then could be way overpriced.

    Terrible. I backed that because of some comment i put in my tracker when it last run, **** knows what i saw back then but i'm glad i didn't post my reasoning relating to my comment in my original post, it saved me at least some embarrassment!

    Extracted from Timeform
    "Whereas once a length in the UK was a length in visual terms (whatever that is), now it no longer is. A length has been a conversion of a time lapse in the UK for well over a decade now"
    I hadn't realised that. The BHA sort of changed their definition but didn't make a particularly good job of it. Maybe they should publish the finishing times of each horse, showing the time difference (rather than distance) between the finishers
