    Looking forward to seeing Ribbles Valley and Soaring Glory although both will be short prices

    Was very impressed with Debuchets chase debut and think the raider will be hard to beat tomorrow

    Wouldn’t be surprised if both ascot and uttoxeter are both abandoned due to heavy rain being forecast overnight.

    Got to go for a horse whose Mum is called Spanker, so it's Shantou Express each way (If you know what I mean).

    As I've ventured into the jumps world it will probably be abandoned.

    Must admit I’m surprised to see racing go ahead today, so. I’m gonna give a chance to the Gary Moore runner in the bumper at ascot. Being a french recruit should go on the ground in what doesn’t look a great race.the same goes for the Jennie candlish runner in the uttoxeter bumper. Other than that a bit of versatility is required and Venetia runners in a treble at uttoxeter.

    first 4 favourites to go in at Ascot today ?

    only thing is Mont des Avaloirs has won on heavy ground and so could run Angels Breath close in the first.

    Believe me, I know. Don't be fooled by my lack of English language proficiency.

    If something of what I have written bothers you or you don't understand it, don't hesitate to tell me.

    I love these days when the tracks are a bog and distance events are on the cards. The one race that stands out for me me is the 14:55 at Uttoxeter over 26f. From what I've been reading, the track can be testing when heavy. The odds on shot Storm Wizard is having his second run this time in,off a 20f win. He seems to have the class, but Tommy The Rascal is stepping back from 28f on heavy ground when he finished third. He's had just the 1 win in 29 hunt starts so he's hardly the bet of the year. But you never know.

    14:55 Tommy The Rascal 9-1 EW to run 1-2.

    it looks very testing but interesting that the pace didn’t collapse in the first and that top weight ran very well

    well,yes,thats the main race for me too today,as i like DEBUCHET a lot,even though he made my hair a lot grayer in the past,lol..

    uttoxeter,1 10:

    the two unexposed ones here,good and hardy and barrowlands deserve a mention,as they are in great form at present,but i ll take a chance on SLEEPY HAVEN here.his long losing run is an obvious worry,but he has refound some form lately,and is well enough treated to be a force today,even if the outsider of the four..

    Dundalk 5.15-Whatharm win 11/2. Fundalk Friday not the easiest place to pick a winner but I think this lad will go close.Won over a mile here last month I think the drop back to 7f will help negate against 5lbs rise for that win.
