All the talk is for T4 Bonville Nancy, a bitch that isn't yet 18 months old! And it is obvious to see why, massive room for improvement, should go straight from T4 with T3 railing. Been backed in to 15/8 already, although there's pennies available at 3.35 on BF. Just noticed 11/4 SkyBet which for me is a bet although I can't get on with them.

I think it goes up with T1 and I wish I had some videos to help out from there - price dependent on whether T1 is a punt but missed the 4/1 from this morning.

t1 there was sub 24.20 dog a year ago over four bends but has only recenlty stepped back to the shorter trip after operating over 6 bends at various tracks.  t1 was the biggest volume dog on bf even though it wasn't the fav so it was well fancied.  Interesting race given how young and unexposed the 4 was and how quick away it has been so far.   All over at the first bend when 1 led.

Absolutely. Cursing myself a little for not taking some of the 4/1 this morning but then I couldn't back it at 2/1 and shorter.

Another monster mornng gamble goes south on the 606 pm race at romford as welll as the just before the off gamble on a second dog on bf.  The friendless morning fav who drifted to third fav hosed up.

For boring reasons I won't trouble you with, any thoughts on the 6.22 & 6.39 at Yarmouth tonight?

Yarmouth punter on the show has napped T4 in the 1st and his lay is T4 in the 2nd.

Steve Allen?  He is an excellent judge and former track bookie from the glory days in London.  Probably the best guest they still have on the show.

Good luck to anyone playing tonight.  None of the tracks on a Monday night i do.   

Some serious amount of cash gone south today after Romford on numerous gambles.  Definitely a day for the layers.

Went out like a light that gamble in trap 4.   Had every chance at the first bend.

Yeah I've always liked him. He's not on the show but they had him on the phone.

Arb, he's keen on T4 in the 7:26 at a price. Has asked for 12 on exchange for what looks like £90.

The 6:22 is quite tough, T1 looks the best drawn and really hugs the rail. Watched a couple of videos and T6 looks like it might want the 5 lane and 5 doesn't move from there on the run up. 6 has very good back straight pace but gives up ground running wide. Traps 3 and 4 have the odd decent sectional at this level but I couldn't confidently say either would lead this race.

I know I'm guilty of siding with well drawn T1 and T6 sorts but, despite it not having shown up in this grade yet, T1 has the draw and the ability for a trouble free run whilst almost being a strong enough finisher to be competitive if slightly off the pace.

It's 3/1 which is maybe about right.

In the 6:39 I was basically looking to see what could pick up the favourite in T4 (2/1) as she has struggled home in her short career it seems. It's just a Jun 2018 pup though so could keep finding more given this is only her 3rd start (lifted to A7 after a short head victory LTO). T2 looks to currently have a couple of lengths on the fave but can't see it coming from behind, T1 just out of season so happy to leave, T3 doesn't look to have much early and has wide comments, T5 is the only one that looks to have any sort of finish but potentially too one paced from what I seen, and T6 won't lead 4 and doesn't exactly see out the trip.

So with that all said, T4 looks the most likely winner - and would be very shocked if it doesn't take a couple of lengths out of these early. Won't be backing it at 2/1 though.

T1 in the 6:22 was 2nd of course.

T4 no longer favourite in the next and could get to a backable BF price if it gets to 4.5.

Backed it at a much bigger price, studio not loving it.

Sea of blue.   These types of dogs normally end up becoming a lay on the off especially in times like these where a lot of novice viewers are watchinig and following like sheep.  Will be interestiing to watch how it runs.

Was about a million lengths clear, still not enough.

I get you. Viewing figures must be soaring so lots of casual money.
