    Todays fancies for me.
    Beat That
    Silver Concorde
    Boston Bob

    Doubles and a treble again.

    I think that Boston Bob is VERY good when he gets his jumping right, he had the RSA all but won last year. On this ground i think First Leiutenent will be the biggest danger but aslong as his jumping is good enough he should go close.

    Stable companion Forgotten Rules won very easily yesterday. Trained by the maestro that is Dermot Weld.

    He's not even the best Twiston-Davis raiding IMHO although Willie seems to have "defected" to the flat

    What about Harry Fry to spoil the party in the Champion Bumper with his Jollyallan (in JP's colours)?

    I really don't get the bashing of Sam TD. If rumours are true, then Nicky Henderson wanted to line him up to be the one after Barry G. He is a quality young jockey.

    Rumours suggest it was a small band of owners and not Mr Henderson. He’s more than happy with Gerraghty both now and into the future. But ultimately, Mr Henderson is merely the hired hand. He who pays the piper plays the tune...

    On The Way Out @ 40/1 3.40 Punch

    Grandioso @ 9/1 6.40 Punch


    Harry Durham crosses the pond for the first time today to ride Grandioso for Mr Nicholls in the 6.40, they must think his -3lbs allowance will make all the difference in this tight handicap. He has also picked up the ride on On The Way Out in the conditional jockeys race at 3.40, this horse is a course winner, who has also won over the distance, the John E Kiely barn is in good form having trained Carlingford Lough to win here yesterday. Surly Mr Durham's vast race riding experience will be an advantage in this 25 runner field of conditionals ?

    At odd's ranging from 20/1 to 40/1 with the bookmakers, and available on the exchanges at 90, he must be worth a small E/W investment, first 4 places paid.

    Good Luck!

    If Atletico score 1 then Chelsea need to win the match as if it's a score draw then Atletico go through on away goals rule. But I predict Chelsea will play Real in the final.

    Tonight's match surely is going to be the most tedious Champions Lg semi final ever?

    It will be the same this leg. I don't see Chelsea going out and playing progressive football, they can't, if they do you will be quids in. Keep it tight and hope for one chance. Then its the final that the media want.

    I will not be watching tonight, I might put it on the radio to hear how annoyed Mssr Green gets.
