    Bit hash to call the horse a dog, he's a good horse just overrated.

    The riding of him is questionable for a horse who clearly stays well. I think he would improve for a switch to a top trainer although i am not a fan of Knight at all so i think he would improve for a switch to any trainer

    Perhaps a dog is a bit harsh. He seems tripless and whatever the circumstances, whatever the distance etc etc, he seems to find at least one too good.

    Must say I'm even more confident about Master Minded in the KG. Deffo won't stay and form looks very suspect now.

    Nick Williams has done well there as I had guavain down as a horse to back 1st time out after last season and backed him at Cheltenham when he won , then when he fell the other week I put a line through him for the rest of the season , obviously regret that now and of trainer puts him up now I think he could compete well for possibly Ryan air

    I tell you one thing and that is Nicholls missed a trick not getting Fehily as his 2nd jockey. He's right out the top drawer.

    I can hardly bear to ask ..................... why did The Nightingale fall? Usually a sound jumper. What was the fall like? Was that twat Jacobs in any way to blame?

    Not sure to be honest Oddy. I'd need to see it again. Didn't seem to do much wrong but was amongst horses and came down.

    Probably not very helpful . . . ! <laugh>

    Hello lads and PN.

    Some knock from Sehwag...i remember him getting a pair in one of the test matches over here last summer...obviously likes a flat pitch,what batter doesn't mind you.

    Is Bill Lawry the old guy who commentates on Australian TV?

    Anyhow,missed the earlier action and not sure theres much to really excite but i am mildly interested in Senior Again e.w. at 14/1 in 3.05 at Clonmel for a fun few quid.

    He is a very suspect jumper but this is a dire event and if he gets round he will have a chance off 98.This race pays four places and a reproduction of Senior Agains fifth two outings ago over 3m,which stretched his stamina,would see him in the shake up.

    Well done those in the winners and GL those still playing.Minor boil over in the G2.
