    Stentorian could go well at a nice price but the King horse will take the beating. Could be a nice forecast

    I've had a small stakes on Louxor Des Mottes 20/1 in the Newbury 12.55.

    Was very well backed on debut and I think can show up better today. Then it is a question of whether that will be enough against the two market leaders.

    No apology needed Swanny :) In fact I expect you laughed like a drain as Oddy and me did our nuts on the favourite - who as we speak is just coming back off his milk round <laugh>

    Destroyer Deployed at Newbury. All The Aces possibly flattered by Prospect Wells last time, and maybe the distance could have been more. Cheltenham Bumper runner up last season went on to win the Supreme Novices and I think this might be a nice horse.

    bumper form in hurdles races. I hate trying to work it out!!! The problem is those pesky hurdles.

    Can we have a whip round to get Tim Vaughan some schooling hurdles? I'm sure that's the first time Destroyer Deployed has seen a hurdle. Terrible jumping.

    Reasonably impressive from All The Aces - almost threw it away at the second last. Needs to improve again to take on the top grade - maybe he can.

    Jetnova in the next at Warwick, should be able to win based on hurdle history. Yeah right!

    Not sure he jumped badly as such. He was just big and slow. He'll improve with experience.

    He never made a mistake just was jumping them like a showjumper and not a racehorse!

    Hmmm, Tarateeno seems to have lost interest in the game. He was jumping some hurdles as though they were twice as high. Better leave him alone? But watch the old sod win at a nice price before the season's out...............<yikes>

    Reebok: No, didn't laugh, would never do that. You both almost talked me into backing the thing, on top of my daft e/w! Both almost got lost in the murk, although I believe yours appeared out of the gloom to finish 4th?

    Bye bye Jetnova - bigger obstacles need better jumping!

    I've never seen this before - a riderless horse falling for a second time. Great Reason was the horse in question, and at the moment, sadly, it's not looking good for him :(

    Did Tim Vaughan forget this was a hurdle race?



    BAAN at Uttoxeter, followed by Cue Card at Newbury, who I think might be able to quicken the tempo IF he can jump well.
