With just 3 winners in November, Donald McCain is in absolutely miserable form at the moment. Nevertheless, I will nominate his 10-year-old gelding Desert Cry as a sporting e/w bet in the 2:00 at Haydock. The key to Desert Cry is plenty of give - 5 of his 6 victories have come on soft or heavy ground. He goes well fresh, so no worries that he hasn't run since June, and comes here of a hurdle rating of just 123, having been rated a full 20lbs higher at his peak. OK he has never won over this trip but off this mark I think he could go very close. 14/1 the price this evening.

As a wanna be snooker player I might just have to have a small wager on One Fourty Seven up next at Haydock...
 
2 others I went for at Dundalk from earlier. Prices have actually improved which may not bode well...

Veil Of Stars 8/1 Dundalk 6.00
Knights Templar 4/1 Dundalk 6.30

Danz Gift was the other of 3 I backed earlier and hopefully one of the other 2 can improve into 1st.
 
No luck. Have a look at Coach Bombay in that 6.30 - 10lb claimer aboard so will surely avoid reprimand but he was definitely an eye catcher and will be interesting to see him out over the next couple of weeks and if any money is down.

Here’s a Friday afternoon quiz question. If anyone gets it right they win a 'Barney Bonus'. What race run tomorrow is the richest of its type run in the Isle for 10 years (stat courtesy of ‘The Weeknder’)?!? One was quite shocked by this.

If anyone was interested in the answer (and I have my doubts). It's the 'Shawbrook Handicap Chase' (3.15 Ascot) which is the richest 2 mile handicap chase run in the UK for 10 years. To mark such an occasion you would have thought that the Ascot Executive would have come up with a better name! Still at least they haven't monikered it after the Scottish Estate where the Saxe-Coburg's go and massacre the local wildlife - like they did on 'Champions Day'.
