So to clarify

1 45 Wolves - 16/1 Your Gifted
3 40 Kempton - 40/1 Unison
3 15 Wetherby - Tickanrun 14/1 - Dunno how this is still a maiden, reckon it could shed it today.
5 25 Wolves - Miss Dusky Diva 33/1 - very overpriced, Carson rode it at wolves last time it won, back down to same mark with him back in the saddle

e/w lucky 15
 
The last time this was postponed and run on the following sat , richard lee's Le Beau Bai won the rearranged slog , an omen for kerry lee and Bishops Road ?
 
Shame Chepstow is abandonned..was down in Bristol yesterday which ain't a million miles from Chepstow and it just didn't stop raining all afternoon and evening...Small fields on itv racing today except for Kempton 3.05pm where just about enough for an each way play on Sir Ivan 6/1. Third in a grade 2 last time out this will be more his level and possibly some improvement to come. Has previously run at Kempton which was respectable and put a sequence of wins together prior to his grade 2 outing this season Quite a keen sort but hopefully there will be pace in the race with the favourite. Big run expected.
 
SOME REIGN could look big at 7/2 for the Wetherby card opener if he jumps off get a bet on in running!

Yankee at Kempton for fun;
Cyrname
Midnight Tune
Pilgrims Bay
Chatez

Decent singles on the last two named at 11/2 and 7/2

Just like Chelsea I have been tempted by a longshot in the last at Wolves. Mine is ZARLIMAN who is a ridiculous 50/1 as he is now match fit and down to his last winning mark. Trainers daughter takes off a handy 5lb too. Could be tailed off but you dont need to have much on at those prices.

Slight dilemma on the horizon as for the first time ever this Saturday I might have two runners on the same day about 300 miles apart!

Probably not...would you take Bishops Road to finish in front of Raz De Maree and Houblon Des Obeaux?.The horse didn't in last year's race.

The Lee family know exactly what it takes to win this race, if they'e pplanned a year long campaign for bishops road for this then I would respect that greatly, they did have other entries,....... But only this fellow now

First world problems Stick<laugh>. If it was me I'd pick the NH option over the sand every time. I hope Pilgrims Bay doesn't prevail, only because I picked it out last night but this morning have convinced myself that No Buts has a chance at 33/1. I'd take that as a positive and double your stake.
Captain Scooby scratched from Dunstall Park today. Looks like his 9 year run of at least 1 win has ended.

One of the joys of not betting is that cliff horses don’t cost you anything. So I shall be cheering on Forest Bihan today whilst wondering when we will be seeing Waiting Patiently again.

Good luck everyone. Stunningly hung over today after drinking too much wine with my mother-in-law watching Eddie Murphy films on tv.

Odddy, remember the Crooks Peak/Air Navigator bumper at Chelts? The last three home 8th/9th & 10th have all now come out and won on hurdles debut!

Surely a certainty to get thrown out, Simply Ned would have won if challenged outside for sure.
 
Townend with his whip in his right hand all the way up the straight, has to get turned over but will the stewards have the balls?
 
Id say the irish stewards are much stricter than British, seen them throw out in G1s for less. Only thing to make it interesting is the connections involved.
