    Long time with nothing to say, a relief to all no doubt!

    Fancy one a little bit tomorrow at a nice price.

    JESSIE JUMP JET 16/1 Huntingdon 3;45
    First time in a handicap and whilst not looking overly well treated there are some positives.
    The yard is in really good form. The horse is nicely bred and drops back in trip for handicap debut having weakened late on over further.
    Best price is with 365 who go five places.
    The market tomorrow morning will almost certainly reveal its chances.

    Good luck to you all.

    Still looks a work in progress. Jumping left a lot to be desired and seemed to run in snatches. Responded quite well for pressure from some way out and should do better in the future.
    Not the worst of returns if you had the five places at SP.

    Nice one Stick - hope life in Spain is treating you well? Are the old joints still holding up to the golf?

    Tore a calf muscle this week putting the clubs in the car <laugh>
    I do love the life here but being away it has meant that my interest in racing has waned considerably.
    Still love watching the hoops though (we wont mention the Wednesday game)
    We could be in for a real thriller end to the season in the race to the playoffs.

    I'm amazed at where we are after last season. Danny Röhl is an unbelievable manager but I fear we will lose him at the end of the season. The Chairman is a disaster. We could get into the play-offs if we remember how to win at home but to be honest, if we managed to squeak into the PL we would just get shafted every week and come straight back down so I struggle to see the point really.

    On to your specialist subject - is this Windbeneathmywings going to win the festival bumper?

    Pretty sure the Irish will have a better one.
    Todays Punchestown winner looked a bit tasty.

    Gameofinches owned by Prof Caroline Tisdall, like Windbeneathmywings - I wonder if she will want to run both? I also wonder what she has against spaces in the names of her horses?
