    Afternoon everyone, Jesus I'm fecked. I hit a patch of black ice on the bike this morning and lost the back end completely. Fell to the laft, gashed open my left leg and my arm and ribs feel like I've just had the **** kicked out of me :( then the doctor gave me a tetanus jab so I'm feeling hunky-****ing-dory right about now. Hope the racing will take my mind off it.

    Ah he's only got 3 rides <doh>

    Is it a tip in itself that he is hanging around for 2 hours to ride Thunderstorm in the last?

    How did Oscara Dara run then on his fencing bow??? See he was only beaten 1.25 lengths by a more battled hardened opponent. Mr Henderson must be slightly peeved though that he doesn&#8217;t leave the track with a shot at that £60k with the old boy. Maybe Cantlow might get the cheque if he goes for one of the handicap chases at the Festival.

    Thunderstorm drifting like a barge in the &#8216;lucky last&#8217;, Oddy. Little Roxy, what a lovely name for a mare by the way, now the new fave.

    Half-brother to Kentford Grey Lady out in the next at Plumpton - Lavelle has wasted no time in stepping him up in trip after he plugged on over 18F on debut. Worth a little dabble I think <ok>

    Sir Barney, Little Roxy is indeed a lovely name for a mare. Puts me in mind of Barry Noble's Roxy nightclub in Sheffield (ah the days of my youth)

    Looks like Emma Lavelle's horses are reverting back to being crap <doh>

    DAYO - it was a better class of lady used to go down there - far better than Josephine's ;)

    The 2.05 at Plumpton is a fascinating race <laugh>

    1. Bally Gunner - up 12lbs from last victory, pulled up last time but could have come too soon - would you chance it?
    2. Collyns Avenue - not run for 664 days but not bad form from then - would you chance it?
    3. Brunette's Only - very good course form but form after a break not too clever - would you chance it?
    4. Guydus - just sneaks in the handicap with Challoner's 5 - should go well, seems to have most going for him
    5. Ballinhassig - 16lbs wrong, no chance.

    Guydus to just get the better of Brunette's Only

    Chaps. Like Stow in the next. Took 6/1 but not sure what the rule 4 will do to it if I get the right result.
