    Never in it. I think I might have to give up with this one. Had the winner but 4/7 with that many runners <yikes>

    Seems to have just lost his will to run Ron. Best left until some spark is shown again, if ever. Eventful running of the race overall, Carefully Selected put down at the 2nd last and was made to work all they way to the line there but had travelled well and would have won cosily barring that mistake.

    The Caddy Rose has drifted alarmingly for Noel Meade all day in the 12 25 at F'house but I think the horse is in with every chance on bare form and 11/2 seems more than fair so I've just taken some of that in what is a very open race. Yard are clearly not as optimistic as my feelings on the horse but the price is fair for me right now.

    Never nearer 4th. Looked uncomfortable on the ground and likely needs it with some good underneath.

    Good afternoon peeps, and Happy Lady Buttons Day :emoticon-0152-heart:emoticon-0152-heart

    Won't be backing the lovely lady today - she'll need to be at her very best without being burdened with my cash! Seriously though, kissing spine or not, this should be a penalty kick for BVD, but it made me think ...... Lady B was entered at Newbury as well, in case Newcastle was abandoned. Now the inspection was at 8am and if it had been off, she would have had a minimum 4 hour trip down sarf, setting off at best, 9am and getting there at around 1pm - hardly an ideal preparation I'd have thought. Still she can collect some decent place money, and, because you just never know (whisper it) could even win.

    Day has started well for me with Knight In Dubai obliging at Bangor (before anyone says it - look in the comp thread!) At Newbers I like Soul Emotion ew but have gone for Pride Of Lecale for the win. One each of the Hendo Nichols barns in On The Blind Side and Magic Saint, and at Newcastle, Jonniesofa looks to have a great chance.

    Good luck all <ok>

    Reserve Tank has lots of ability but he is far from a polished performer, scatty jumping throughout and looks unsure of what is required. Back to school for him.

    he’s got some engine but that jumping wasn’t good enough. Disappointing but not one to write off

    After stating that I wouldn't be backing Lady B today, I found a free bet on Lads that I didn't know I had, and couldn't resist!

    Buveur Dair shouldn't have to come out of 3rd gear here to bag his 3rd Fighting Fifth. Let's hope its an impressive round.

    Ron you may know, kissing spine is major surgery.. it’s where the vertebrae rub against each other it would cripple humans.
