    Tough day today would be an understatement. Had a great week though and looking to finish with profit again today.

    Singles on Thomas Chippendale EW & Society Rock win.

    Lifechanging Lucky 31 EW -

    2.30 - Berkshire - Finished 1l behind Championship on debut although he didnt settle well early on and was raced wide alone which couldnt have been ideal. 22/1 could look massive!
    3.45 - Krypton Factor - I Actually backed him in this last year EW and put in a fine run to finish 6th 2l behind the wondermare. 28/1
    4.25 - Zero Money - High draw, finished 2 and a half behind Nocturn LTO and is now 5lbs better of. That was his seasonal debut and im delighted with the jockey booking as he has ridden him before for his old trainer. 40/1
    5.00 - Sir Graham Wade - Finished just over 2l behind Estimate in a group 3 earlier this season and aslong as can reproduce that effort stands a great chance. The faster ground is sure to suit also. 25/1
    5.45 - Mad Moose - Riskky with a capital R. We all know what he likes to do but on his day he is actually a very good race horse, the odds represent the chances of him wanting to race and if he does go off ok no surprised to see him within the places. 20/1

    Sorry tward I've backed three of those so you've no chance <rofl>


    The pedigree that catches my eye in the first is the Bolger horse, could have more speed than a lot of these. Sticking with Berkshire those because I'm already on :(

    Sticking to my guns with Thomas Chippendale but i think the form of that race is winning this so no surprise to see Ektihaam scoot up
