Nice one Oddy have a good one. 3 weeks is a decent stint. Been there once, had many a paella that week! Anyone know if Murtagh is likely to be on Born to Sea or Akeed Mofeed this weekend?

I'll let you know when I get home tonight RV - can't see youtube in the office. George & RV Might run a book on how much weight I'll put on in 3 weeks 0-1/2 stone - 8/11 1/2 stone - 1 stone - 9/4 >1 stone - 8/1 (this would likely be divorce territory ) I am looking forward to a nice bit of swordfish though
godolphin #Godolphin has bought a majority share in Royal Ascot winner Dawn Approach. He will remain in training with Jim Bolger knew it. Least he stays with Bolger though
Those blue silks have added drag I reckon At least they're leaving it with Bolger, Bin Suroor would've turned him into a Wolverhampton Handicapper
Miami Gator folded way too tamely there. You've got to ignore that as I something may not have been right
Nobody can question your tipping! Always worth an interest but you have 2 to get correct later or there may be trouble ahead
Dos that mean when Barca come in Bales value will be higher due to the 'new deal' on his contract... These contracts mean nowt nowadays... Hope he dos stay, i like him and would rather see him here than over there...
4.05 Carlisle Hong Kong Island 14/1 If Lexi's Boy translates his improvement over hurdles to the flat then he could prove incredibly hard to beat but there are far to many 'Ifs' to be backing him at his short price so I'm plumping for Micky Hammond's 5 year old who I think should go very close to landing this. He was very progressive last year as his handicap jumped 20lb to a mark of 86 between the first and last starts of the year. In that time, he won twice and barring his reappearance run he was never beaten by more than 3.75L in 11 starts which emphasises just how consistent he is. He had some very solid form last year including a neck defeat off a mark of 83 behind Berling who was an impressive winner on his next start and 1.5L beaten 4th off a mark of 86 where the 2nd performed very admirably in Listed races in his two subsequent starts. This year his first two starts were solid if not fantastic as he was beaten by 4.5L and 5.25L respectively but he put in an excellent effort LTO when narrowly going down by 0.75L. In the Class 3 Queen Mother's cup for amateur lady riders off a mark of 81, he was a bit unlucky as the winner Crackentorp, who won the same race the year before, got first run on him and it was a big step forward in the right direction. He's been raised to a mark of 84 but based on some of his efforts last year I definitely think he is able to score off a mark like this. Moreover, given the fact he was so progressive last year I certainly think he has improvement left in him being only a 5 year old. In terms of todays race, he takes a drop back in grade to a Class 4 and jockey Shane B Kelly takes the ride and his valuable 5lb claim will certainly come in handy today. He's had one start at Carlisle where he was a 1.5L beaten 2nd so he clearly goes well around here and if progressing from his last effort then I think he could prove very hard to beat.
Good luck, im on NORTHSIDE PRINCE 28/1 (EW) been threatening to win lately and should go close again today off an attractive mark
