    Well that won as well it should have done. I have no idea what happened two runs back as it was my fourth selection in a yankee with 3 winners rolling onto it, went off 11-4, travelled beautifully but found nothing as if did not stay the trip. Looking at that today you would think she had at least 10lb in hand.

    Fine Parchment was a good 5-6 lengths clear then just ran out of steam and pretty much stopped allowing No Secrets to come flying past.

    Oh well, you win some, you lose some

    Tauton 3.30 Barzian 25/1 ew - going to take a chance on this one, been of the track for a long time but has gone well fresh before and could be well in if retaining its old form. Has won on soft before so hopefully will be able to handle the heavy ground

    Ive also had a small e/w on him too. One of my favourite races was the triumph at the festival a couple years back when he went storming off in front only to get collared close home. Followed him since and after falling a couple of times over fences ive been waiting for his comeback over hurdles. Looks on a decent mark if ready for the return. Ifyouletmefinish will be very hard to beat in my opinion however

    Backed em for the title at 18 on Betfair, about 2 weeks ago. Now I'm getting greedy and may not bother laying off.

    I know, Jelavic hit the bar and the post, torres has a great chance in injury time, Distan was excellent for Everton, they were unlucky but class told in the end.

    I cant see them winning it, but that was some performance to get the result at Goodison after losing a goal 1 minute in, they look much stronger already under Benitez. Still think the title will be going to Manchester again tho.

    Lost by a length, ran widest of all the whole way round. Sigh. That's the chance you take with these conditionals.

    A small play on Onceaponatime in the last at Lingfield. Bliners back on for the first time since May (has had two runs to sharpen up this winter), and is now a full 12lb lower than when a decent 3rd at Kempton. The stamina for the trip is a concern, but if it can get in front it might be able to hang on with Lingfield having that shortish run in off the home bend. Has shaped like 7f is within compass, but yet to prove it. Hoping this is well handicapped to overcome it.

    Similar feelings apply to Flying Kitty, who might be suited by a gung ho tear up around Lingfield and can stay on late at a nice price. My other £1 goes on her! <laugh>
