    Not that I'm likely to get 2 on the trot but I'll try with Baoulet Delaroque, Wincanton 3.05

    Doubled up with Saved My Bacon, Chelmsford 6.10. Surely can reverse form with Bosham having been beaten twice by that one in receipt of 1lb (both times less than 1l) and now in receipt of 16lb.

    You've probably made rasher choices than Saved My Bacon, Ron.

    Keep it simple today Gaz:

    Forget Wincanton and Clonmel (heavy ground), forget the sand rats, focus on the non-handicaps at Towcester:

    1.40 Caitys Joy
    2.40 Suit Yourself

    Win singles and a double, if you're feeling adventurous add in Wazza's runner Boudry in the bumper for a patent <ok>

    Had a text from m8 late last night regarding some info he gets now and then. Has provided several winners in past and today he has been given a strong word for BOUDRAY, 4.35 Tow. Was 9/4 now around 7/4. Maybe Stick will have a view on this race?

    The three at the head of the market all have decent form already Mick and BOUDRY is probably just the pick of them. The animal that really catches my eye in the race is ARIAN. This has a nice pedigree and changed hands for a sizeable sum at the sales. If it were in a more "fashionable" yard it would probably be favourite.
    Over at Wincanton it is CHALONNIAL that gets the nod.

    2.25 Clonmel- Westend Star - 11/8

    Looks a cracking bet at this price, has been progressive since moving to the Elliot Yard and altho up against 3 Gigginstown horses he's beaten one already and looks to cement that form and take this step up in grade pretty comfortably in his stride

    I like to have 3 at each meet! Its all small stakes so days like yesterday can be laughed off. Im such a poor gambler I LOVE THE ALL WEATHER! Its like Cheltenham festival every day <laugh>

    But cheers for the heads up and in fairness I wont jinx your selections!

    Anybody else having trouble with the "like" button? Whenever I hit it, I get the grey "I'm working" box in the top right hand corner but it just stays there and the like doesn't appear ............................

    1.50 Sunny Southwell

    The veterens sprint as it could be renamed. I really like the John Jenkins horse Fine N Dandy, who I think has a lot going for him today. He is a front runner, and a proper 5 furlong horse, and surprisingly for Southwell, this race doesn't seem to have too many consistent front runners in it. You have many who have been tardy at the start, and you have horses who are better at 6 furlongs +.

    Throw in the outside stall, and I think Fine N Dandy is already interesting. The form of the horse is good too, and he can get home ahead if given a well judged front running ride. Ping out, make all. Form a queue

    Did you types spot anything eye catching in yesterday’s Grand National entries?!? Well did you?!?

    Mr Henderson has put in 3 – Triolo D’alene, Hadrain’s Approach and Bears Affair (what?!? Re this one did the steward forget to put the T in his entry time GnT?!?).

    Early inspection has me focusing on 4 – in no particular order (as they say on the X-Factor) the above mentioned Triolo, The Wounded Warrior, Houblon Des Obeaux and Kruzhlinin.
