8/1 3rd and 33/1 4th for me in the grand annual. Pretty much sums up my festival as far as the handicaps are concerned - hit the crossbar a few times without ever getting the winner! I initially drew up my shortlist for the Grand Annual by looking at horses that ran in it last year (its an...

Been sweet on Presenting Percy since his RSA win last year and not going to desert him now. Would love a Thistlecrack win but just can't see it happening.

Epatante didn't jump well enough there. Have a feeling that race might prove to be an extremely good one further down the line

My whole festival riding on Epatante here. On at 11/2 antepost and she is the last leg of my big treble

Samburu Shujaa, Champers on Ice and Thermosticles are my darts at this. Slight preference for Thermosticles

Good work on getting the 12s available. Apologies, I missed your post amongst the Cheltenham chat!

Well that’s made a good day even better! More ammo to fire at Paisley Park and Epatante tomorrow!

One more for me at Kempton this evening. Captain Dion in the 8.15. Debut for Ivan Furtado (who has already had a winner tonight) and has been well backed into 11/2 from 8/1. Has won off a mark of 85 in the past. Is down to a mark of 63 so hopefully the change of stable can spark a revival.

Well done those on Band of Outlaws. King D'Argent ran well to finish fourth. Definitely the closest I have ever come and probably the closest I ever will come to getting the winner of that b*stard race <laugh>
