DANCE THE STAR (2.5) comes out a clear winner at the weights,
KALEO (11.5) is the next best
with LANG SHINING (4.5) third in

THISTLE STIKK (8.2), the Hannon horse, has no official mark so can't come into calculations, but his low price shows that somebody likes him.

=============================================================================

BLUE NOODLES (4.8) comes out best at the weghts

There's not a lot between the next 6 and they're preferred in this order :

Inner Angel (14.5)

Atacama Sunrise (16.0)
Wonder Strike (5.6)

The husband leans over and asks his wife, 'Do you remember the first time we had sex together over fifty years ago? We went behind the village tavern where you leaned against the back fence and I made love to you.'

Yes, she says, 'I remember it well.'

OK,' he says, 'How about taking a stroll around there again and we can do it for old time's sake?'



Oh Jim, you old devil, that sounds like a crzy, but a good idea!




A police officer sitting in the next booth heard their conversation and, having a chuckle to himself, he thinks to himself, I've got to see these two old-timers having sex against a fence. I'll just keep an eye on them so there's no trouble. So he follows them.

The elderly couple walks haltingly along, leaning on each other for support aided by walking sticks. Finally, they get to the back of the tavern and make their way to the fence. The old lady lifts her skirt and the old man drops his trousers. As she leans against the fence, the old man moves in.. Then suddenly they erupt into the most furious sex that the policeman has ever seen. This goes on for about ten minutes while both are making loud noises and moaning and screaming. Finally, they both collapse, panting on the ground.

The policeman is amazed. He thinks he has learned something about life and old age that he didn't know.

After about half an hour of lying on the ground recovering, the old couple struggle to their feet and put their clothes back on. The policeman, is still watching and thinks to himself, this is truly amazing, I've got to ask them what their secret is.

So, as the couple passes, he says to them,' Excuse me, but that was something else. You must've had a fantastic sex life together. Is there some sort of secret to this?'

Shaking, the old man is barely able to reply,

'Fifty years ago that wasn't an electric fence

I was invited to an afternoon MPs dinner and dance. Unfortunately, when I arrived I found that I had no cash, so I crossed the road to a bank and went inside.

MPs and the public were mixed in the queues and were chatting to each other when a man burst through the doors, ran up to till number one and told the cashier 'Fill this bag up with notes and don't say a facking word.'

He turned to the crowd and shouted 'You lot, look at the facking floor.' But one member of the public stared straight at him, so the robber calmly shot him in the head. 

Amid the screams, David Cameron said to those close to him said to him 'He's obviously upset about something (shrewd,these tories) keep your eyes down.' but one woman looked up, so the robber shot her in the head.

The gunman shouted ' I DON'T WANT ANYBODY TO RECOGNISE ME' he said 'AND I'LL SHOOT ANYBODY THAT LOOKS UP. DO I MAKE MYSELF FACKING CLEAR ?'

The woman standing next to Harriet Harman glanced up, so he shot her in the head.

'IS THAT IT? ' he shouted 'DOES ANYONE ELSE WANT TO BE FACKING SHOT?'

I waited for it go deadly  quiet, which wasn't long, then I murmured 'Excuse me mate, I think Diane Abbott saw your face.'

ORPENINDEED comes out best at the weights with 2 pounds advantage over Excusez Moi, and has form at this track.

Excusez Moi comes in 2nd best and he's 5 pounds clear of the rest,

Tne next 5 are all within one pound of each other.

The alleged no-hopers are Apache Ridge, Cavitie, Gone Hunting and Ajara.

RESPLENDENT LIGHT

If it can't get in the frame at these weights it wants sending to the knackers yard. First run at basement level today.

Next best, imo, is Island Chief at a big price (7 pounds behind Resplendent Light)

Then come Eastern Gift, Kielder, Knights Victory and Peaceful Rule, all 9 pounds behind the selection

The rest are 11 pounds or worse behind the selection.

Place bet RESPLENDENT LIGHT - we're going in - both tills Laugh

================================================================================
7-00 Wolverhampton  (claimer)
FLOWING CAPE just about comes out best over Samarinda, who narrowly gets a vote over Imprimis Tagula, who should finish in front of Dubai Dynamo.

Catherines Call, Fol Liam and Southanmdwest won't be far behind.

I don't fancy the likely favourite, Sabatini, at the weights, but it's all very close among the first 6 in the betting.
 
A tight race all round - no selction, for me.

There was no A v B market up (this was midnight) but that may be worth a look in the morning.

Something will be odds-on and may be worth a lay.

COMPETITION RULES

ALL SELECTIONS MUST BE NAMED

RACECARD NUMBERS WILL BE IGNORED

SCORING

Handicaps - 16 or more runners

Winner - 4 points
2nd - 3 points
3rd - 2 points
4th - 1 point

Races of 8 to 15 runners and non-handicaps of 16 runners and over

3rd - 1 point

Races of 5 to 7 runners
Winner - 3 points
2nd - 2 points

Races of 4 runners or less
Winner - 3 points

It's all about PLACES

You get the above scores PLUS 1 point for each point of S.P. for a horse in the frame

EXAMPLES :

BARBER SHOP COMES SECOND IN THE GOLD CUP AT 20/1

then its 2 points for coming second & 20 for the SP - total = 22 Points

DENMAN COMES 4TH IN THE GRAND NATIONAL AT 16/1

then it’s 1 point for 4th plus 16 for the SP - total = 17 Points

KAUTO STAR WINS THE KING GEORGE CHASE AT EVENS

then its 3 points for winning & 1 for the SP - total = 4 Points

NON-RUNNERS

In the event of selecting a non-runner you will be on the S.P. favourite

In the case of co/joint favourites, you will be on the beast with the lowest racecard number


NON-RUNNERS CANNOT BE CHANGED ONCE THE FIRST RACE IS OFF


BONUS POINTS
Are awarded for the following
FIRST 4 SELECTIONS IN THE FRAME - 10 POINTS
FIRST 5 SELECTIONS IN THE FRAME - 20 POINTS
FIRST 6 SELECTIONS IN THE FRAME - 50 POINTS

NAP OF THE DAY

A CHANCE TO DOUBLE YOUR POINTS ON ONE HORSE

MARK YOUR DAILY NAP EACH DAY FOR DOUBLE POINTS

Your nap SHOULD be in the same post as your normal selections.

Failure to post your NAP with your selections means that your NAP will be taken as your selection in the first race.

If your NAP does not run, you revert to the NON RUNNER RULES, but you will get DOUBLE POINTS if the favourite gets placed.

Naps CANNOT be changed once the first race is off

Meant to post this last night,  no idea what the prices are now.


2-20 Ludlow (seller)
Apt To Run (15.0) on here at the moment comes out best of those with a rating.

Tignello (3.5) comes in 2nd best just 1 pound behind him.

3rd best is Rocklandslad, 3 pounds behind the front two.

It's effectively a 6 pound gap to the rest of the rated runners.

The as yet unrated Mount Hadley finished 3rd to Swiss Art on his debut over sticks,  and that horse won again in a Class 4 handicap from a mark of 105. Since beaten quite easily when upped to a Class 3 affair.

Probably best to see if the stable get stuck into it before bringing it into calcuations here.

I'd be inclined to back Apt To Run for a place at around  3/1 or over (currently 3.6)

=====================================================================================
8-10 Wolverhamptom  (claimer) Thursday

Paktolos's (yard not really firing) nearest rival at the weights is Babe Maccool, 11 pounds behind him.

Then it's 3 more pounds to Talenti, a further pound to Free Tussy, then 3 more pounds to Nevada Desert, and a 6 pound gap to Dunaskin

The other 2 are not rated yet.

No befair market up yet.
