Oisin's lead is down to 11 after Buick rode three yesterday. He's at the Curragh today and is then suspended tomorrow, Tuesday and Thursday.

The gap will be single figures by the end of the week and Marquand should be able to rebuild a lead in the handicap.

Fun final month ahead.

Tempting to back her to win the lot next year but she's 18, is about to get the tabloid treatment and will win SPOTY. That's a bit of a whirlwind at that age.

Did a Luton player called Graham ? Die of COVID too ?
My mate was at Coventry gukpt and it was mentioned along with Colburn tomlins passing after going to Manchester ?

The only regs I can think of are Graham Rogers and Graham Pound.

Graham Rogers moved to Margate I believe, which is kind of the same thing.

Not heard anything about The Wizard. He has no results on TheHendonMob since February 2020 but that's true for a lot of players.

More stupid hype ffs.

Looks like Wuzzin Murphy is going to get there in Hill's jockey's handicap with a couple of weeks to spare. Some effort off scratch in what was supposed to be a competitive year and he deserves it, he's ridden better than Buick, who's had similar ammo. Marquand should still be good for a place but he certainly hasn't benefited from the Haggas link-up.

Bet incoming...

The market has been slow to catch up with Ferran Torres for top PL scorer.

I had a bit on at 80s before the Arsenal match  and he was still 40 and 33s in a lot of places after hitting two. There's still some 33s around now the window's closed and City didn't bring in a big-name striker. That beats the machine and is way too big.

Pep loves him and he could get a lot of game time this season. Jesus is now playing on the right of a three, where he'll share game time with Mahrez, while Raheem and Alice Band will split duties on the left. Ferran is the only real option for the central role. I wouldn't even want to lay double figures.

The 28s with Baldy is fine too.

Total modge.

Arteta out!

Hill's jockey handicap current standings for anyone on Marquand.

J Doyle 131
Mitchell 126
Marquand 121
Murphy 108

O'Sheen a big runner here now but he's taking today off and is suspended Fri-Sat, which will slow him down a touch. Just over two months to go.

Superhoops and Denise's billionaires both look play-off good things to me. The Champo has gone from the toughest league for punting to the easiest this season I think. It's the haves and the have nots.

Fulham and West Brom top two now 100-30. Will leave at that price, though, as full up at bigger.

Bournemouth, Stoke, QPR, Cardiff, Blades, Birmingham in there pitching for top six, rest will lose regularly to the big guns. The gulf between L1 and Champ is massive now. Players like Danjuma and Harry Wilson among the ins and outs at the top, Poshies happy to pick up Ollie Norburn from Shrewsbury.

Reading, Hull, Derby, Forest, Swansea all screwed.

Up the Posh  

 

Gonna be a fun season this. We played McCarthy's giants off the park for an hour the other night but then lost our two best headers of the ball and got bombarded. Awful team to watch Cardiff.

Anyways, West Brom and Fulham are miles clear of the rest in the Champo. SpreadEx have them finishing 15+ points ahead of all bar Bournemouth.

The dual forecast was 12-1 pre-season. If you look at that price the current 11-2 with Shy seems thin after three games but it's not, it's golden.

Max bet please if we're still looking to add to the portfolio.

Wow, just wow.

I saw this when I had my early morning peruse of Twitter this morning & it cheered me up no end. You are looking great Mr P, in fact I never recognized you at first, I had to stare at the photo for fully 30 seconds before the penny dropped. Hopefully your recovery from the heart incident a few months ago has gone well.

PS - hope you don't mind me posting this, but you put it on Twitter so I sort of thought you would not mind.

Oh my various Gods! I've never seen him looking so well.

Dont want to upset him but when I first saw it I thought it was Chompy!

+1 i thought exactly the same thing!  Crazy to think someone looks like Chompy and is looking in fine fettle.  

+2. Had more PMs than BigAdz in his heyday telling me as much. Incred lookalike.

Football season preview comes out in the Racing Post on Wednesday. Unmissable scenes.

I thought it was 16. That's the way we were taught in the 80s. Work from left to right unless anyhing is in parentheses.

Expectations for Posh this season Chomps ?

Love our work in the transfer market but this is a different league to the one we left eight years ago. I'd take fourth bottom right now if offered and then see if we can establish oursevles.

Buick 2-1 to be champion jockey is all kinds of lovely.
Ipswich 9-1 for L1 will be nearer 6-1 by the time it all kicks off.

We're at almost halfway in to the jockeys' championships now.

Ghiani is running away with the apprentice race (with 30, next best on 17) and Marquand (+35) looks to be in a coin flip with James Doyle (+70). Actually he's maybe slightly worse than a coin flip at the moment, but the longer he stays involved in the title race the better his chances on the handicap.

Happy solstice
