    Striker, even more interestingly is that she rides for Mark Usher too and he has one in the same race. Now the one i backed has been punted so I think its that one

    The only runner for Mr Brisbourne is "Very First Blade" in the 2:55 at Wolves but the jockey is listed as F.Norton? Maybe there has been a jockey change and William Hills just haven't updated their site?

    Striker, or perhaps they have put Franny on as they want it to win <laugh>

    I am guessing young Racheal will be doing all the parade etc with it, and perhaps her project was to get it fit enough to do itself justice today?

    Don't quote me on this, but it does look positive for the horse today, along with the confidence in the market.

    Might follow you in with this one Nass

    "The trainer recently stated on twitter " Combination of poor draws and horses still to reach peak fitness has meant not the start to all weather season hoped for" , it is well known that his horses have been running poorly at present, the stable had a infection too, however with a winner and a close second today at Kempton, its fair to say his horses may be about to turn the corner.
    The selection hasnt run for 145 days , but has previously run well behind the gambled on Selbar over course and distance, running on gamely and beaten 1 1/2 lengths. Jockey F Norton has a 17% strike rate for the stable too.Nicely drawn in stall 3"

    My only concern would be "Flamin Ferrari" - Down in weights plus Jimmy Fortunes only ride of the day and he has won 7/13 at Wolves which is impressive

    Striker, I backed it last night as I believed its AW form is the best on offer. Also it has won a race, which most of these haven't managed to do so. Yard had a good runner yesterday too if I recall.

    as for FF, it shouldn't reverse places with Dickie Mint really. When they met the horse had the best route through the race and still wasn't able to beat DM home (travelled wider) and today the draws are reversed. Surprised its been backed, but perhaps its due to trainer and jockey combo.

    Getting close to Chilworth Lass' race. Hope Chesney's small share pays off big time. All the best mate. (even though he's at the track) Go girl.

    Hello lads.

    First day on gardening leave...could get to like this but don't think i'll be bookmarking Jeremy Kyle on my tv scheduler.Broken Britain as SBC would say.

    Anyhow,nothing really catches the eye today and I must admit to being absolutely clueless re the main event of the day,the 2.55 at wolverhampton.Bloody awful contest.

    GL all having a punt.
