    Was it Imogen Pickard's fault that the other 4 didn't win?!? Nudge, nudge, wink, wink, say no more...

    Honeyballs 35% is better than Hobbs due to prize money won. In fact Honeyball is top on prize money won in bumpers this season.

    I wouldn't have got them if I'd guessed from now until the end of term! Keith Dalgleish does well though with a small NH string. I noted that he won with the ex old boy Gosden horse Uptown Funk on his hurdling bow the other day.

    I'd discounted him as I thought he'd only had the 1 winner - which he has, but it has won twice <ok>

    Dalgleish is 4 from 7 so well worth keeping an eye on in this sphere.
    Good trainer but he lets the odd one slip through his fingers (Vosne Romanee).

    Racing Post Live is flagging up a money move for Daschas in the 4.55 at Newcastle - 12's into a current 7-2.
    It's a Stuart Williams horse; the post describes him as "one of the shrewdest trainers in Britain" and also highlights that Stevie Donohoe takes the ride, given he has only ridden for the yard once in the last five seasons. They are mounting up the case for a win bet.
    Just passing it on.

    Anyone see the opener at Bangor? Had Oneida Tribe down as the first horse in a treble - looked to have come in then the result was amended but no mention why so I'd imagine it wasn't overuse of the whip.

    Was it just a photo finish called wrong at first?

    <wah> can't see that image thanks to my work's mega-firewall.

    EDIT: Just read the summary on SL on my phone - thanks Oddy.
