    All fallen nicely for Cocktails At Dawn at Aintree tomorrow. Following the release of the decs he only has to beat one horse home to qualify for the Grand National. Now in an ideal world he'd finish 4th, some way behind the winner, and get a reduction in his perch to boot!

    I'm not keen on backing 'shorties' but surely the 5/4 for BALLYANDY is an early Christmas present?

    He was disappointing for me the last day, and couple of these are intriguing. The trip looks sure to suit more today.

    Surely 2 miles looks a bit sharp, up 14lbs but anyway you won't be going alone. I'm on.

    Got a feeling African gold will run a good race today. I think he was 1 of the pre season mate post favourites for the RSA at 1 point but things didn't go his way. Showed himself in good spirits over hurdles on seasonal reappearance and now goes back chasing for new yard.

    Why oh why oh why oh why is the lovely Victoria Pendleton not displaying her skills in the card commencer at Sandown today? Boo hiss, a crying shame.

    Montrachet mix looks interesting in the 1.15 sandown. Who doesn't like a nice Montrachet , one for the connoisseurs.

    Very possible. An improving sort I have in my book though and until he really dissapoints, and I think the handicapper has him by the balls I am happy to be on. Mind you, he has drifted throughout the morning.

    The state of last year's Champion Bumper though. Invitation Only absolutely hacks up in March!
