No pace at all though is there. Noel is going to have to be better than his best to set the fractions right.
And old boy Oscar in the World. That leaves 8! This is like an Agatha Christie novel were the guests are disappearing one by one...
If anyone fancies something each way i'd back it now because you're only going to get 2 places on the day by the looks of things.
Golden Firth appears to have been given a good chance in the opener at Downpatrick i've taken some 7's e/w just incase.
Bob, re upcoming bumpers. Honeyball has held two horses back for a couple of races and it really is a case of eggs in baskets so it shows his confidence in their respective abilities. MIDNIGHT MINX for the Mares race at Sandown and REGAL ENCORE for the Festival bumper! BILLY TWYFORD was a fortunate winner lto but the runner up SHAMMICK BOY won very nicely since and goes to Cheltenham. It's often folly to ignore a Pipe gamble but I think Billy will go very close, worked really well this week!
Dont be suprised if Long Tall John Dawson gets a treblke up today at the Bridge of Catterick Stay Frosty
McManus bought it Bob and I wouldn't have thought he would let them mess around like this if Honeyball hadn't convinced him that it had a big chance of winning!!!!
Cheers heis looks like you've caught a flyer yourself so goodluck with the next 2, both appear to have good shouts.
