Morning, old comrades. Well done to The Squire last night. Absolutely fantastic win. Well done, old boy. First class.

I’m sure my regular readers will be ultra keen to get on my Caulker ‘ooooooooooooooooop’ at Sedgefield this afternoon but personally I’ll be leaving it alone. There is though a strong word from the ‘county set’ (who are well despite the terrible threats of violence, threatened against them, on here earlier in the week) for MOON ARROW at Wolverhampton this evening (7.15) and I can see why. After running over 11, 11 and then 12 of those furlongs it’s eye-catching that in this heat he’s dropped to 9.5 furlongs and a perch of 52. He really looks to be a better horse than that plus this trip is much more suitable. This son of, Derby winner, Authorised is also bred to be much better than that as his dam was a dual winner and also Listed placed.

Good luck all.

Cheers SBC, stuck in an e/w Barney Rubble with a 10/1 shot at Dundalk and the drift on yours to 16s meant a 6/1 payout with the other one finishing in the frame also.

All fallen nicely for Cocktails At Dawn at Aintree tomorrow. Following the release of the decs he only has to beat one horse home to qualify for the Grand National. Now in an ideal world he'd finish 4th, some way behind the winner, and get a reduction in his perch to boot!

The periodicals and news bulletins, right now, show that we live a million miles away from an ideal world but on Saturday, for a few mins, something pretty damn close existed as Cocktails At Dawn did indeed finish 4th someway behind the winner.

Must say though that he was the most blatant non-trier that I’d seen for a good hour and half! And I must say that I thought that 'Nickers' Henderson and ‘Dazzler’ Jacob would have come up with a plan more cunning than simply dropping him out the back, cantering him round at three-quarters speed and hoping that one of the others wouldn’t complete for one reason or another. This, of course, happened though so mission accomplished and Cocktails at Dawn is now qualified for the 2017 Grand National.

The next part of the plan though is will the old boy handicapper be accommodating and drop the horse a few pounds in the perchings. The answer will be known later in the week…
