I'm heading down on Saturday to have a few hours in what I hope will be warmer conditions than there are today.

If anyone has any views, tips, idle speculations or opinions on any of the runners, I'm only too happy to hear from you.

If it is heavy, I'm anticipating low weight mudlarks are a good starting point.

Reply post, PM or email.

Thanks

Cheers, chaps.

Am hoping to be in the papers the next morning with an oversized cheque. More likely, happy to break even. Even more likely conclude "well at least I had a good day"

It's a very tough card Simon although I quite like Zarkandar's chances in the big hurdle race.

6/4 or better would look tempting to me.

id choose the horse with the rider in pretty colours, or alternatively one with  a funny or striking name!

Bookies put numbers after the horses names - just ignore those bits, its just for their internal house keeping!

Ground a worry for Zarkandar?

Good to soft, good in places sounds fine.

Slightly disappointing card although not a complete surprise. Lots of short favourites.

Any thoughts on 12.45 against the favourite? Best Served Cold offer anything at 20-1 for e/w punt? Six horse race but it doesn't mind heavy and 11-1 doesn't look a prohibitive weight. Needs to perform well to have a chance, mind.

Probably going to duck away before the last. Only so much enjoyment can be derived from a 3 horse race with a 1/5 favourite (without a chess board)

Yes I like Cristal Bonus but I'm not enamoured with 6/1.

I've had a small dabble ew on Renard @ 25/1 in that race,  the stable's in good form and it looks like it's on a decent handicap mark with room for some possible improvement too.

It's bigger in the win market on betty.

That's an interesting one. Right down the weights is Have You Seen Me, which is seemingly a mudlark off a two year rest. Should go 21f. Happy in Heavy. Has done OK at Cheltenham in the past. It's off 10st having run off 11st7 in the past. Food for thought certainly.

I do take your point tho. Rightly or wrongly, I am also minded to follow Venetia Williams's horses ATM. Yes too much importance can be put on these things but nice to have a little extra confidence in your bets, even if ill-placed.

Ultimately I'm not going to be degenning like a crazy mad person. If I get a winner, it should set the day up nicely.

Might take a scarf...
