    Not sure what to make of Illustrious Forest. Writing was on the wall really given he was so weak in the market (has been well backed late in every run he has gone well). He may have needed that but that may be a bit hopeful. I'll see if I can dig anything up from owners/trainer over the next few days.

    At least I was spot on about not liking the favourite.

    That Barzalona is getting to me now! he has just let me down for a small fortune. Although too difficult to say he would have won he needs to know that on an all weather course you either win by getting to the front or first couple from the break froma bad draw or you drop in behind and hope for a passage but you never win by travelling wide all the way around unless you have 10lb in hand. He was the fourth horse in a yankee and should have been the easiest winner of the lot.

    Apologies for sounding off.

    It was an exciting finish but I'm not sure it will be throwing up loads of winners. All the jockeys were well at it half a mile from home, there was nothing travelling really powerfully. The winner stuck on well but not a strong bumper for me. Empiracle still the best bumper performance this season so far <ok>

    Agree with Oddy, watched that race very average. Good tight finish for all the wrong reasons.


    Anyway, the pub awaits. Until the morrow gents <ok>

    Sorry to disagree lads. There'll be winners from it. Don't worry about that.
