Couldn't sleep without nailing this...Foinavon..!!

Paul Townend last week!

Thankfully, we have been spared the nonsense of a five day festival but there still remains room for improvement in the schedule and content. The Irish dominance is not to do with money. Paul Nicholls has a stable full of horses that cost more than £250,000. Jonbon cost £520,000 and is with a...
