    Ron, am certainly not a subscriber to Twitter or Facebook, but stumbled across this tweet via a link. Seems pretty apt given your Buzz post?

    Stewards are more likely to catch stable staff peeing in a box than to find a jockey guilty of improper riding.

    He’s having little luck this past year is Weld Arab. That’s twice, in that time, he’s been caught in the shadows of the old post. It will be interesting to see where connections go now – remain jumping or go back on the level (as I said yesterday his revised perch of 63 looks exploitable).

    I’d advise regular readers to have a look at the same barns Bounty Pursuit who is set to make his bow for the yard at Cheppers on Friday (8.05). Fascinating to see how he fares after being purchased for 7,000 guineas last month. And in view of who the new connections acquired Bounty Pursuit from I’d love to, especially, hear the opinions of a couple of people!

    No idea on the horse fitness but he is a very nicely bred sort being a half-brother to Poyle Vinnie (7 time winner and rated 105 at his peak) whilst the dam is a half-sister to a Lowther winner. Will the change of scenery and the Wiltshire wind inspire this one to greatness?!?
