    Anyone considering a gamble in the bumper at Lingfield should be aware it's being run on the Polytrack <ok>

    Grizzly, I agree, that was much better. Not going to win big races but that was a good run and a good bet. Well done.

    I see the BHA have thrown the book at more members of the sport today. Good riddance.

    Nass - only a bored Thursday afternoon interest bet and no prizes for digging out 6/4 shots, but I do remember how good The Polomoche was a while back - funny how they fall out of love with the game sometimes.
    I do like these old handicappers reappearing through the hunters route - perhaps if there were more veterans races (which in my view there should be) many would stay racing.

    What's this book throwing ?

    Why is it a surprise that Tom Cleverley is in the England squad? He walks into the 22 and i'd be mildly surprised if he didn't become a starter by the championships in the Summer if he stays fit. He's really excellent.

    I think young Oxtail Chamberpot of The Aresenal also has talent.

    The problem is giving these young guys a chance.

    He's looked great thus far. He's only 17 - a lot of pressure on his shoulders. When Arsenal lose RVP in the summer he's going to be all they have left.

    England has a decent set of young players to build around. Oxlade, Cleverley, Wilshire, Richards, Hart, Welbeck. That's a good nucleus and Hart could easily be the best goalie in the world in a year or two if he isn't already. I know, as a United fan, that there is not a single player i'd rather have in goal for my team than Joe Hart.

    Agree Quel...JH is a class act with a long and successful career ahead of him.

    Easy game for Utd tonight...possible clash with the fabulous Athletic Club in the next round if both sides progress.

    Yeah - we should progress really. Ajax were poor with a capital P in the 1st leg. I think the English clubs are overrated in this comp. City and United at 11/4 and 4/1 respectively is too short. I like the look of Valenica at 10's and Athletico at 12/1 for value bets. Realistically the English league is low on quality at the moment. City and United are going to be embroiled in the Premiership fight all year. Valencia and Atletico will be able to concentrate on Europe. We won't.

    Brilliant advert.

    Fingal Bay missing Cheltenham is a huge blow to the Neptune. It was shaping up to be the race of the Festival. Now there'll be excuses for people who don't want to admit Boston Bob is a monster.

    Disappointing for connections of Fingal Bay.

    I didn't like him in the least mind you and his absence may spoil the market.

    In true Jeremy Kyle contestant style, I've plumped for Bareback e/w in the 7.50 at Kempton, who I think still has more improvement to come upped in trip and would not be surprised to see Jim Best get him into this London Mile mix, having steadily progressed so far.
