Kilcruit set to commence his hurdling career at Cork on Sunday (12.10). Needs remembering re this one that he isn't a young horse (will be almost 7 when he jumps timber for the first time on a racecourse) so will connections be tempted to go into 'open' company sooner rather than latter if he puts in a sensational debut performance?!? Makes you wonder...

Surely the 3/1 displayed on the Sporting Life website is an error?

Re Mot A Mot lovely to see a novice hurdle race with a proper number of runners in it (18). One of the few horses as well that the 11th richest man in Wales hasn't transferred to Sam Thomas. Is that notable, I wonder?!?

Currently trading at 3/2. Whatever happened to 6/4???

I just wish I’d bought that share of a horse with Sam Thomas that stickler talked me out of.

I was thinking the same. I do miss old John McCririck with his "Ear hole", "Carpet" etc
 
Beautiful round of jumping from Bothwell Bridge there and you get the feeling he was keeping plenty back for himself. Good chase debut and should be value for another couple of wins if the handicapper doesn't clobber him.
 
Mulcahys Hill is way too big a price in the Pertemps Qualifier - once finished second in the Challow beaten a short head and 23 lengths in front of a certain Kilbricken Storm. Has had a wind op and goes well fresh, very interesting back over hurdles.

First at Newcastle see Jomont going for the double at c/d , jomont went well lto and having seen the others the race is there . My only concern is the booking of Beasley but all in all lifes a gamble and 6/4 looks a fair price.

Hello, all. Hope everyone well.

No bet for me, of the morrow, but despite that must say I am absolutely fascinated by tomorrow's racing.

In the big heat will the hype re Brave Kingdom be justified??? Has Mr Nicholls got another superstar on his hands??? Or will Kim 'Ivy' Bailey's Fair Frontieres put up a winning performance??? He romped in by no less than 41 lengths last time.

The 2 races that really intrigue me though are Sandown's Pertemps Qualifier (3.35) and Exeter's novice chase (2.05). The former looks, as usual, to contain more plots than an Agatha Christie novel and should prove highly informative. The big question, as always in theses events, must be who will finish 6th?!? In a way though am quite surprised that ITV will be broadcasting this event as ITV 'Daytime' doesn't normally do skulduggery, underhandedness, deceit and outright deception - all of which, you can guarantee, will be contained within a Pertemps Qualifier. At any rate they haven't broadcast any of those traits since that old girl off 'Loose Women' claimed to still be in her 40's!

Meanwhile, I said on Wednesday's 'Daily Thread' how excited I was about Exeter's above race and that remains very, very much the case. Adrimel for Tom 'Fast Pacey' Lacey against Harry Fry's Boothill is I think a scintillating clash and one to watch with the old notebook. Both are potentially high class animals. I personally, right now, can't split them and those bookie chappies haven't got them much apart either offering 5/4 Boothill, 7/4 Adrimel.

Look I know I've supplied more questions than answers in this post (Saturday I hope to supply more in the way of answers as I like a lot of horses) but hope tomorrow will be really informative and go a long way to really kick-starting the old term.

Good luck, team.

I spoke about that novice chase, at Exeter, being some sort of heavyweight clash between Boothill and Adrimel but cor blimey both were very disappointing especially the latter who, seemingly, did not want to know from the very beginning of the contest. Both now have huge clouds over them.

Tom 'Fast Pacey' Lacey may have been sighing over Adrimel's effort but Lossiemouth's win, for old girl Lady Cobham, must have left him rejoicing as the 6YO gelding won Sandown's Grade 2 with ease. Both Brave Kingdom and Fair Frontieres had their bubbles burst in that heat.

Stoner's Choice came 6th in Sandown's 'lucky last' but I'm afraid nothing from the 'Pertemps Qualifier' had me purring with a view to the Final. Unusual as I tend to get carried away, over these races, and envisage being in the midst of some sort of devilish plot. Or have I, team, just failed to spot 'the murderer'?!? Did my little grey cells miss something???

The magic tellybox highlight had to be the interview with our very own Lieutenant. Insightful, knowledgeable, honest, witty and a joy to watch. Lieutenant Henderson, I salute you, sir.

I also asked if today would provide a few 'answers'. Other than those aforementioned 'bubbles' I don't think it did.
