    I'm just disappointed he didn't start the news (or perhaps finish might be more apt :emoticon-0112-wonde) with Bang Bang!

    Well done. Enjoy your sleep, social life etc now would be my advise :emoticon-0103-cool:

    My mate has two horses running tomorrow. I posted one of his on here a few weeks ago that won, Yulong Xiongba that one was called, that one won't be running for another few weeks but since that turned out quite well I thought I'd post these two and what he's told me about them

    2:30 musselburgh - Rainbow Rebel 2/1. Won last week at Carlisle and been turned out quite quickly with a 6lb penalty. They didn't actually expect it to win last week, they thought it might need the run just back from a break, hence I had absolutely nothing on it! The thinking is that it should really be winning this race and will probably go off as heavy favourite.

    8:10 kempton - Rock Steady 5/1. Very consistent horse that has been going up the weights after some good runs at Windsor recently. Small field tomorrow but very competitive race and any of the 6 could win it. Was a staying on 2nd last time out so they have went up an extra furlong. Roger Charlton thinks there may not be much room to work with off the current mark but it is an improving horse so they are hopeful rather than expectant with this one. Been advised to bet this e/w.

    And congrats to Bob and his good lady on their news <ok>

    Well done Bob, congratulations to you and the Mrs! Twins will keep you busy!!!!

    One for me today:

    Indego Blues. 3.50 Catterick.

    Looks very well handicapped at present having won off marks from 64 to 73 in the past. Has gone well at Catterick and with Miss Mooney's 7lb claim is effectively running off a mark of 45 today.
    BetVic go 9/1, pretty much 8/1 generally available. Looks an e/w bet to nothing to me.

    Good luck chaps!
