    3.50 Taunton tomorrow I think HOLMWOOD LEGEND is well overpriced at 14-1. A festival winner last season, he should be spot on now and is decent EW value.

    Stick your horse Esteem travelling nicely before tipping up, probably would have been right in the shake up! What the jockey was doing trying to stay on i'll never know it would have been comical had he not put himself in danger of being badly hurt. Good luck with the Legend tomorrow nice price 14s.

    Used my free bet at 12's - although I have to say, that his jumping over fences needs to be better than his hurdling! Win bet on Get It On .... just in case :)

    Indeed Ardent, I know I am biased but it was certainly travelling like a winner, its declared again tomorrow but not sure if 2m4f will suit if indeed it runs.
    Watching the jockey I got the impression that he knew a shedload of money was riding on him. The UR was a bit harsh as I dont think many would have sat!

    It's all about opinions woolcombe-folly but how anyone could part with hard earned money on a horse as inconsistent as Fistral Beach is beyond me. He wins fresh and thats usually it so if he loses tomorrow remember to back him first time out next season!

    Morning all, I am on GET IT ON 7/1 in this race. Gets a lot of weight from his main rivals today. Can`t` have Holmwood Legend Stick as he is 15lb above his highest winning mark. The jock takes 7lb off today but that still leaves him 11lb higher and I don`t rate the jock S Clements. Apart for all that good luck!! lol

    I'll take a flyer that the step up in trip will suit The Cockney Mackem - his second to Edgardo Sol at basically level weights reads well.

    Cracking race this, deciding factor could be the ground - plenty of rain forecast this morning so I'm not expecting that good to soft, good in places to stick around too long.

    I love Emma Levelle's Chariot Charger here - came back from almost 2 years out to win a beginners chase at Uttoxeter (whose fences take some jumping) in November, some training feat that and if avoiding the bounce factor can win this one today.
    Proven stamina over further and a liking for cut he also has some serious form in the book, notably when running Bensalem to half a length at levels in November 09, that was the year Bensalem went to the B Hills chase at the festival and came down 2 out when gagging along looking all over the winner, Chariot Charger made Alan Kings horse pull out all the stops at Plumpton that day, if he has retianed anywhere near that level of ability he could be a very serious horse.
    6/1 I think is a stonking price for this
