It will be battered cod and chipped potatoes for me in Wetherspoons on the way to Aintree. Incidentally Eurest used to be Compass (maybe you have heard of them) until they were taken over by the darned French.

The horse I have a share in Lucca Lady also goes at Aintree tonight. We are hopeful but it looks a hot race. For a Scouser like me, though, just to have a runner at Aintree is a dream. Mick, when I go to Aintree I always get off the train at Orrell Park and walk down the Vale having a pint at...

I notice that good kid Oisin Orr is coming over to ride one in the 7.10. Only his fifth ride in this country. Could be interesting.

Been around for years. Most of his runners go off at 50-1 or bigger! Sponsors a race at Cartmel each year in memory of his father I think.

I'll be there so will give your mare a cheer Stick.
