    Been told to have a little each way dabble on ROUGE ET BLANC 12-1 1.30 Folkestone tomorrow. This one has been off on the easy list for some time now but I am assured it is ready to race. During its time off its OR has plummeted. The horse has gone well fresh in the past and off a mark like this can go really close. It's asking a lot to have it spot on first run back but the yard are in spanking form and seem confident enough.Good luck if you play.

    Good luck with that Stick certainly on best form would go very close. Hopefully they have got to the bottom of the problems and he can complete and progress from that at least.

    Would Venture To Cognac be a terrible guess?

    after a couple of terrible days.. tuesday's effort.

    TOW

    12:15 hobb's dream 10/3 (bit nervous after i read she 'loses interest in races' and almost swapped her for kilcascan 7/4)

    12:45
    blackwell synergy 4/1
    morestead 6/1 EW

    1:15 vintage kid 9/1 EW (assuming no NRs)

    1:50 angles hill 11/9

    2:20
    moscow presents 31/16
    saroque 15/1 EW

    2:50 dancing daffodil 11/10

    FOL

    12:30 inner steel 10/3

    1:00
    portrait emotion 28/13

    i know there's two horses in some of the races (is that allowed? :undecided: ) but my book's fallen apart last few days so i'm doing a half-way house between how i used to pick them and how i picked them lately. see what happens.

    best of luck all tomorrow :biggrin:

    Morning all

    Just the one for me today.

    4.40 Wolv - LITMUS @ 20/1(may trade bigger)

    Has improved with each run since running in handicaps, while her mark has slipped from 59 to 52. She'll also appreciate the step up in trip today, while the booking of Graham Lee catches the eye. This isn't a hot race and hopefully she'll at least grab a place at the very least.


    Good luck all!

    Morning all.

    Towc 12.45 - Little Chip. 3rd to At Fisher Cross NHF reads well albeit well beaten - stayed on same pace for 3rd. 2m 3f on soft hopefully ideal. Needs to prove it can jump - but at 10-1 I'll have an EW interest.

    Towc 2.20 - Moscow Present. 3/1/ seems about right. Would expect a run for my money from this one.

    Folk 12.30 - Nafaath. Hopefully the first time fitting of a tongue tie works along with a drop in grade - to be honest they need to on recent form - however winning flat form on heavy and at 9/1 I'll have a bit EW.

    Definition of frustration - not finding the date you're looking for on the advent calender!!!!

    Morning members <ok>

    The 2 Grade 1s on Satruday's card at Sandown have been reopened due to the paucity of the original entries.

    Whilst scouring the net for updates on the entries for the Tingle Creek I came across this - look familiar to anyone?

    Had a quick glance through the cards, can't see much appealing in terms of backing as much as I think a lot of the short priced favs might be beaten today, I can't decide on what to go for, although following yesterdays Williams/Coleman combo, I think Saroque in the 2.20 Towcester might be worth an e/w play.

    At Folkestone, a few I like today are Sticks pick (sorry mate, probably means it got no chance now), although it is now into 9/2 last time I looked, in the 1.00 Portrait Emotion, looks the pick to me, whilst Guydus should go close in the 3.00

    At Towcester, I like the chances of Blackwell Synergy in the 12.45, and Chargen (e/w) in the 1.15.

    Wolverhampton, will no doubt through up one or two that you don't expect to win, in the opener I would like to give an each way chance to Kingswinford, currently 14's, and would like to think Zilzie is capable of winning the 4.10. The 3.40 is an interesting affair with both yesterdays winners Chookie Hamilton and Thecornishcockney coming up against each other, but Pertemps Network may well win this one, although you could make a case for both Vittachi and Jezza in this one, so will be watching brief only.

    Good Luck to all who play today <ok>

    I think AP should ride at least a double at Folkstone today
