I picked out Ya Know Yaseff in the opener. Lowly mark but a point winner over 3 miles and has so far has been campaigned over shorter. Now stepped up to 3 miles. Opened at 33/1 yesterday and went as low as 6s. Drifted a bit since to almost an ew price. Have a great day
Unfortunately the Pipe plot foiled by the Olly Murphy plot. Pair of rogues <laugh>

It makes me laugh. Hotpot which had money for it, pulled, after money starts pouring in for the 2nd string. Won with tons in hand. Not a word said, yet McNally is vilified and made an example of.

Best of luck to GB at Fakenham today, a tricky track but there is plenty of sound advice from members, so I see. Cannot improve on that, for sure, so have an enjoyable and successful afternoon, GB!
In the (13:30) at Wincanton, a Class-5 Handicap Hurdle for Conditional/Amateur Riders, over a distance just short of 2m4f,, am having a very modest wager on the Flemensfirth gelding, Seymour Promise. Selection could well show improvement from previous performances? . Amateur rider, Mr L. Trott (5), on board for the Joe Tizzard yard.
Bet365 offer 20/1 at time of writing, but the readily-available16/1 is a more realistic early price. E/W best option, of course.

Thought Seymour Promise was going in for a shock result but ran a fine race to finish second at 16/1 SP. Although hampered at the last, he would not have beaten the winner who came from way back to take the race comfortably. As Stick just commented, the crashes were not pretty to watch. Do hope the horses and riders involved will be OK (one had a particularly nasty fall), that's what is really important.

The falls were bad enough Swanny but the horror bit was the Pauling horse having a heart attack on the way back in.
 
I like CHIC AVENUE 11/1 in the 2:40
Has looked to have some ability in bumpers and over hurdles and now she has her mark she goes massively up in trip. Shrewd yard and a very good claimed who rides this track well.

In the two minutes before off time drifted from 8/1 out to 20/1 so knew the game was up. Moved up promisingly on the final circuit but emptied very quickly after the third last.

Secret trix could frank the form for race 3 with doireann 3/4 l behind secret at cd 2 runs back . The pu lto can be ignored on the conditions and doireann look better of for this .
Doireann nearly got there just missing out by a SH
 
Hi everyone,

Hope you are well.
Got my eye on three at Chelmsford.
5:30 - Homer Stakes - Shown decent form when running a mile, but he has not performed well in 7f races and he's dropped down the weights. Should have a decent shout, back in a mile race. 5/1 on Bet365
8:00 - Storm Catcher - Can't see anything beating him. Worthy fav. Won from a wide draw LTO, lightly raced horse. Evs with Bet365.
8:30 - Letter Of The Law - His 1m 2f performance is probably the best performance from all the horses in the race, and now is 5lb better off. 10/1 with Bet365.

Best of luck.
Evs turned out to be a good bet <ok>. My reverse forecast wasn't to be (Deep Sigh last, drifted to 18/1) and the Bay Warrior got a lot closer than I thought

Made hard work for the win. Pundits thought Storm Chaser had another win in him. I would go against it.
