And old boy Oscar in the World. That leaves 8! This is like an Agatha Christie novel were the guests are disappearing one by one...
 
Golden Firth appears to have been given a good chance in the opener at Downpatrick i've taken some 7's e/w just incase.
 
Bob, re upcoming bumpers. Honeyball has held two horses back for a couple of races and it really is a case of eggs in baskets so it shows his confidence in their respective abilities.
MIDNIGHT MINX for the Mares race at Sandown and REGAL ENCORE for the Festival bumper!

BILLY TWYFORD was a fortunate winner lto but the runner up SHAMMICK BOY won very nicely since and goes to Cheltenham. It's often folly to ignore a Pipe gamble but I think Billy will go very close, worked really well this week!
 
McManus bought it Bob and I wouldn't have thought he would let them mess around like this if Honeyball hadn't convinced him that it had a big chance of winning!!!!
 
I've looked at Fontwell. Not bothering with Catterick, the AW or Ireland.

In the 2.10 the Paul Nicholls horse, Noble Friend, is attractively priced at 9/2 for an each way bet in an 8 runner race so i've had a pop on that one. I think it's out of the three at the head of the market and expect them to come home in the money. He had a decent spin on debut then ran disappointingly the next time but if you take a look at that race it wasn't bad at all with 120 horses knocking about. He's been given a break presumably to freshen up and it wouldn't surprise if Nicholls mentions he's had a wind op in that period when he's getting interviewed in the winners enclosure post race. I'll be disappointed if this fellow doesn't win today but a place will give me the lions share back anyway.

An hour later in the 3.10 Billy Twyford is attracting support in his attempt to double up and with the last race working out well I think 7/2 is a cracking price.

So there we have it. 2 bets. If Boris needs proof i'll PM the receipt numbers and he can call Paddy himself.



The first was rubbish but the second does the business.

TAKE IT TO THE BANK BOYS.
