So Mi Dar non runner
Cracksman non runner

2 I like today, so probably 2 to avoid :emoticon-0102-bigsm
2.20 Soie D'leau
4.05 Thikriyaat

We actually get to see Brian The Snail too, hurray, but the odds are rubbish, so watch only ( and Fahey is on a downer, so Ardad will likely beat it, I reckon )

Good Luck all
 
From the Racing Post article on Alan Swinbank:

"Jockey Ben Curtis, who struck up a profit partnership with Swinbank in recent years, tweeted: "I'm shocked and devastated to hear of the passing of Alan Swinbank. We had some great days together, 50-plus winners and 300 rides. I will be forever grateful to him for supporting me when I first arrived in the UK. Condolences to Sally, family and all the team. Rest In Peace Swinny."

The tributes flowed on social media with trainer Ralph Beckett‏ tweeting: "RIP Alan Swinbank. Did the trainers course with him, and from then on he used to tell folk we were at school together. [HASHTAG]#topman[/HASHTAG]."

Trainer Jonjo O'Neill‏ tweeted: "Very sad to hear Alan Swinbank has died. A good friend and brilliant trainer. His family are in our thoughts."

Swinbank married twice and is survived by sons Julian and AJ, daughter Michelle and four grandchildren."

Love the comment from Ralph Beckett <ok>

real shame that the two stars today are non runners.
it looks a very weak renewal of the Dante suddenly.

Will Cracksman still go for the Derby???
 
I quite like the look of Kevin Ryan's Syphax in the Dante. Looks the sort to prosper over this longer trip and can reverse form with Forest Ranger. Frank on board though so not one to go mad about <laugh>
 
Poor yesterday, today's attempt through the card.
Move In Time
Queen's Trust
Crystal Ocean
Victory Bond
Brian The Snail
Taifbalady
Grumeti
 
Sad news to hear about Alan Swinbank. He gave a friend of mine many decent rides in recent years and therefore I have followed him as a trainer closely. May he rest in peace.
 
Sad to hear that Oddy.Chris Cornell also passed away- Big fan of Soundgarden back in the day, man had a cracking voice.
Noel Meade should be wining the bumper at Clonmel but 6/4 is to skinny for me so will look to double it up with something else.
 
My telly picks to avoid are:

Justice Good
Black Princess
Crystal Ocean
Murad Khan

Good luck - you'll need it with these :D

Really sad news, such a great voice. Out of Exile was played to death on my cd player. In a bit of a minority but also liked the bond theme
