Lovely performance by Finian's Oscar. Still learning too and will improve heaps with another few months on his back.
Great old race-lucky gas line grabbed fourth for me as Squouteur didn't turn into the gamble I thought it might!
Squoteaur is being plotted up like a good one! Embarrassing attempts at trying to disguise that ride today. He was 9/4 fav for a Martin Pipe I think where he was a creditable 7th and if they can get him a mark for Cheltenham this year I'm going to be playing for sure- each way at hopefully nice odds.
Last of the day for me with Chocola. Backed last night at 6's - Pricewise (presumably) brings it down to 7-2 Above Board is better than that - on the bridle over the 3rd last, out like a light and pulled up after. Didn't look too serious so hopefully he will have other days. Edit: and now 9-4 .....??
May as well be 99-4 if you back to win! I thought today's ITV4 coverage was a LOT better this week - as I suspected it might once they had grasped the fact that their viewing audience were not as "new" as they thought! My work here is done - good luck if you play on - and don't miss Augusta Kate tomorrow
