    Looks like Hughes isnt having much luck at the moment, I missed the first two races which was a blessing in disguise, but on his mount in the next he has to have at least one winner so why not this one Dare To Dream at 7/2 <ok>

    Dorset Naga out tomorrow lads at Fontwell. It's 11/4. I lost a confident bet last time on this horse but I'm prepared to back him to win again tomorrow with a saver on Escardo to cover my stake. I'm convinced one of those two will win.

    I had one of my biggest wins of the year on Quaddick Lake last time out and it runs again later in the card. Currently 5/1, he's still well in on old form and I'd be surprised to see it out of the three.

    Honeyball's bumper horse is also interesting but the run the last day was pretty rubbish and won't be much of a price.

    A word of caution about this one, he is ridiculously well treated on his best form but has not shown anything like his best form for some time now. One positive is that he has had a break and runs well fresh but the fact that he manages to get beaten so often from winning positions is really offputting. We were tipped him by the yard last yar and he managed to get boxed in, flew home and only just failed. A spectacularly frustrating horse that really does carry the wealth warning tag. Mikey has had a couple of winners lately so I wouldnt put you off him completely but I bet he finds one or two too good!

    Good luck if you have had a dabble.

    One I like tonight is TAGULA NIGHT 8.05 who I think has a good chance and is coming in to form.

    Quel, I understand that DORSET NAGA's saddle slipped four out at Bangor and therefore Rachel was unable to give him the required encouragement. You know my thoughts about that day but if this is fact and I have no reason to believe otherwise that run is best forgotten.

    RV - done. Beer o clock at midday?

    I read that today Stick. Didn't notice it at the time. Very expensive slip. Look at Bridgwater's record at Fontwell. He doesn't take them there for a day out does he.

    I thought the horse's jumping was average enough as well that day but it was a decent run.

    Like Quel.I quite like his chances but couldn't go large because of the jockey and not sure Fontwell will be his ideal track.

    We have sort of tiptoed around this issue but I find the pilot tomorrow a negative.The saddle may have slipped but,if memory serves,this is a big horse who never looked under control from the saddle even before it slipped.
