Crossing fingers that NELSON can run well in one of the final G1s of the European season today at Saint Cloud.

NELSON was second behind Roaring Lion last time out in the Royal Lodge and also carries an entry for the Breeders Cup Juvenile Turf next weekend.
 
Considering the form Frankie is in at the moment, its worth betting everything he rides (11 wins from last 18 rides (61%) ) treble yesterday.

Goes to Saint Cloud for two today 2 45 Hey Gaman 4/1, Hathal 3 15 3/1, 20/1 double very generous. HOWEVER you always have to fear K Burke as he doesn't send horses over for nothing as seen @ Chantilly when he sent Havana Grey and another one and they came 1st and 2nd at double figure odds. He has Ellthea @ 9/1 which looks very generous.

Ellthea and Hathal double @ 40/1 also

In the veterans chase at Aintree (1.50) Astracad looks to have plenty going for him. He absolutely goes best fresh and has won on seasonal debut the last 2 seasons (off a mark of 131 last season at Cheltenham, 2m 4f Gd, gd-s in places; in 2015 off a mark of 130 at Chepstow 2m 4f Gd). He goes off a mark of 130 today with trip and ground to suit and, although he has never won at Aintree, this is the first time he has been here after a break (apart from at the 2013 Grand National meeting where he fell at the 3rd). With the yard in great form I expect another big run on seasonal debut and there are bits of 14/1 about him this morning.

Trip and ground to suit Odddy! Seriously??? Never won beyond 20f , well beaten twice over 3m and now goes 3m 1f, these are the exact reasons I didnt tip him today! That said, if you were going to get the trip anywhere, Aintree would be the place.

Must be the clocks going back mate, could've sworn it was 2m 4f today ..................... perhaps I was too busy looking at the Old Roan Chase and got my trips mixed up.

Another one to consider in the 13.50 is The Romford Pele. Seems to have been a bit of a monkey having been pulled up in his last 3 races but I keep looking at his race in Jan last year at Cheltenham where, in receipt of just 8lb, he finished only 14l 3rd behind the great Thistlecrack. In that race Ptit Zig was only 2l ahead of him in 2nd (levels) and Camping Ground and Young Master well behind. He is certainly bred for the game. He has changed stables and if the change of scenery works and he can reproduce that form he could walk this. Big IFs but worth having a look in the paddock and watching the market.

Got to feel sorry for Gas Line Boy there, had put the race to bed when coming to grief. But jumping is the name of the game <ok>

Astracad doesn't really stay 3 miles stick but plugged on for 3rd <ok>

The meeting at Saint Cloud has been abandoned after an industrial dispute and walk-out by track staff.

I bet QMII will find a few choice words ............................. <laugh>

Think I'll try throwing darts at the papers and picking my nags that way for a change.

Not often you see a JP McManus owned horse at 50/1 down the bottom of the handicap.......................... can Polkarenix nick a place? Had a spin on the flat back in August too

Here's the latest on the Saint-Cloud debacle:

"Racing at Saint-Cloud has been abandoned after a group representing trainers, owners and breeders barred the entrance to the parade ring.

The demonstration began after the first race and efforts at mediation between the group's leaders and senior officials from France Galop failed to reach any resolution.

The group, Save Our Racing, is protesting over France Galop's planned €25 million budgetary cuts, which will see a reduction in payments made to cover transport and the rise in VAT, as well as owners' and breeders' premiums.

The track was due to host two Group 1s, the Criterium de Saint-Cloud, which was due off at 1.35pm GMT, and the Criterium International at 2.45pm, both of which had Irish and British-trained runners.

Aidan O'Brien had a combined five chances to add to his record 26 Group 1 wins this year, while Charlie Appleby, James Tate, Harry Dunlop and Karl Burke were also due to have runners in the showpiece races.

William Haggas and Ed Walker were due to saddle horses in the Group 3 Prix Perth.

Discussions will now take place between racecourse officials and the sport's authorities as to whether the two Group 1 contests, or indeed the whole card, can be staged another time."
