    Looks like I'm the only one dedicated enough to Homeland to stay in tonight.

    As such it falls to me to start the racing discussion.

    2.40 Oscars Well 15/8

    This ones form is a distance better than everything else in the race. Highly rated by the trainer who has hit form today. Carries top weight which I'm not delighted by but I'm confident class will tell.

    3.40 Steps To Freedom 5/2

    Confident in the extreme about this one. Jessie loves him, excuse at Cheltenham, will appreciate the ground. Gives weight away but I don't rate the others.

    6.25 Don Cossack

    This is reportedly Gordon's best ever horse which will be enough to win this.

    Oscars Well 2.40 Fairyhouse

    Steps To Freedom 3.40 Fairyhouse

    Sword Of Honour 6.25 Fairyhouse

    Black Thunder 2.15 Chepstow

    Cry Of Freedom 4.05 Huntindgon

    House Party 6.20 Huntingdon

    Six confident selections for the forum <ok>. Have a good day all. I am going to the match today and town beforehand for a couple of hours. Will watch these replays when I get back to see how much I would have won if I had my pennies on them <cheers>

    The Ronald O'Leary touch failed yesterday with Claiming Benefits running far too freely but seemingly they will be after recouping their losses with LA VELLE VIE 9-2 6.20 Huntingdon. Its a weak looking bumper and I think the split may have been kind. Expecting to see the market moving on this one!

    14:20 Huntingdon - Sawpit Samba

    (Don't know what a winner feels like atm, but hope he'll run well after 92-day break, should be suited by track and trip).

    (After weekend fare, really fed-up with referees and umpires today, but, enough said!).

    GL today one and all - lots to pick from.............

    4-50 Fairyhouse - Saddlers Storm 40/1!

    Tony Martin looks to have been aimed at this for a while now and hopefully his day will come!

    3-10 Fairyhouse- Dedigout 6/1

    Another Tony Martin horse expected to run a huge race today,a win should be expected!

    Tony Martin also saddles WRONG TURN in the hunters chase in Cork who won his PTP at lemonfield very cosily and at 14/1 is a massive price!

    Is it fair to say you are a Tony Martin fan? Or just wise to how he operates.

    16.30 Chepstow - Oscar Davy

    One from the tracker, Unexposed and stil in very good mark, despit winning owell at fontwell lto. Is a very good price and although some tough competitors in shoegazer he should win easily off this mark.

    Thanks for that Ninja, I did spot that and always find it interesting when a horse is straight out again the next day. I find it usually means it has a good chance of winning and if not they usual pull it out. I guess we'll soon find out though......
