    Taunton abandoned. Haydock on a knife edge: ‘It all depends on what happens overnight. The Met Office say it will get down to -2C, which would mean we're in trouble, but John Kettley says it will be just below zero, which we could sustain."

    Off to Sandown this evening, for what looks like a very competitive card with much scope for shirt-loss. The first handicap, where Whipmaster looks very tempting but Grey Fox offers an interesting alternative, will almost certainly set the tone for the evening's punting, but the Listed race and...

    Quiet Bank Holiday. Thought I'd have a go at Mersea in the first at Beverley, though the money for the first time out Rogue Spirit is causing somewhat cold feet now.

    I had a look at Fernando Vichi earlier on in the B365 ew extra market, but the odds plummet to 28/1 for 5 places, so I took a little bit at 40/1 for 4 and a bit at 70/1 for 3. Fingers crossed sir.

    Can anyone offer an explanation as to why the money seems to be down for Fahey's Blind Beggar in the 2.40 at York? Fahey says "This isn’t a bad horse but while he goes on quick ground I think he’s more effective with a bit of give. Any rain that York get would be much appreciated as he’s in deep...

    A couple that prefer a bit of cut have been pulled this morning, so I don't think many believe there'll be a significant ground change. I think Mishrif looks overpriced at 8/1and seems versatile on ground conditions, so a small investment in his direction from me. Should be a belting race.

    Nothing fancied today? I'll stick my neck out and say I'm having a modest e/w investment on Ardbruce in the first at Worcester. Not completely reliable in his jumping it seems, but a couple of decent efforts at Stratford recently offer some hope at around 8/1. Good luck if you have a punt today.

    I'm on that too, but I note a lot of money for the Tom Lacey horse in that race.

    Seems to be drifting out again now. Could be because Jibber Jabber has cooled off on it, after flagging it up as an eyecatcher.

    Non runner I'm afraid. Things a bit farcical at Plumpton today by the looks of it.
