Takeaway left the Hannon yard to go to Boyle, so the fact that Hannon runs Bilko Park may be a pointer that he knows how good his hoss is, and Jimmy Fortune is booked, rather than an apprentice.    
       
Sir Lunchalott has won over 7 furlongs  at this course.        
       
Chilworth Lass - a trainer on my 'not wanted' list       
Mediplomat - a jockey I don't back       
       
Bilko Park for a win bet, to trade in running, for me

Fav beaten at odds on

Sir Lunchalott 3rd at 13/2

From the U.S to a UK computer user ?

If they can get a signal?

Mezarat comes out best at the official weights but his AW form comes from Italy and it looks like he has been rated on his one run here in the UK.        
       
Grande Caiman ran here last week and got the better of some no-hopers to go 3rd in the final furlong. I burnt my fingers by laying him back at 2/1 (after backing him at 6/5 for a place) as he was struggling in 6th when the facking cameraman stayed with the two up front and ignored the rest of the field For all that, he may improve on his 2nd run on this surface        
       
Budva appears to like this course as opposed to anywhere else and has won a handicap in the past.       
       
Black Falcon has made the frame here in 8 of the 26 times he has run here, with 2 wins included, but comes out badly at the weights       
       
Going to try a place bet on Black Falcon at a big price and hope to trade out in running.

Black Falcon was there until it started to matter, I took my stake back about half a mile out.

Podgies Boy won at 5/1

Fishy, I know you're watching [smiley:crazy][smiley:crazy][smiley:crazy]

today

SPYING is the interesting one in the 7f handicap at Wolverhampton today (5.50). A dual 7f winner on his first two starts as a 2yo,

he started second favourite for the £300,000 Weatherbys Insurance 2yo Stakes on his final start, but he flopped that day and

wasn’t seen until July this year. That return effort at Newcastle, also over 7f, was very promising, as he looked as likely a winner as

any at the furlong pole, and it may have been lack of peak fitness caused him to fade in the final furlong. He has excuses for his

three subsequent defeats, as he has raced too keenly over longer trips, but he’s back over 7f now and has dropped 9lb for those

three efforts. At Nottingham last time he again was too keen but still looked a danger 2f out, and he’s potentially the best

handicapped horse in the race.

Another horse returning to a more suitable trip after racing over further is IT’S A MAN’S WORLD. (Southwell 12.50). A rare horse

who regressed after joining David Evans, he has been with Ian Willaims for three starts, and shoed a bit more spark at Brighton

last time, still disputing the lead, though under pressure until an incident around the 2f mark which caused a faller and led to It’s A

Man’s World’s jockey Ryan Powell being handed an 8-day ban for careless riding. This is Powell’s first ride after the suspension,

and It’s A Man’s World, who won off 55 last year, is down to a career-low of 46 here and might go well at big odds; progeny of

Kyllachy have a mixed record on Fibresand, but the sire does throw up some real track specialists, such as Punching, La Capriosa

and Luscivious, and he looks worth chancing.

At much shorter odds, PALM PILOT was one of my eyecatchers at Lingfield last time and looks sure to be suited by the step up to

an extended 1m on her nursery debut at Wolverhampton (6.20). She was outpaced over 7f at Lingfield but was really finding her

stride in the final furlong and as a half-sister to Mount Nelson and Monitor Closely her pedigree supports the view that she’ll be

suited by the step up in trip; it’s worth noting that her sire, top sprinter Oasis Dream, throws a lot of horses that stay much further

than he did. Skeleton looks a danger, but the blinkers might not work as well a second time and he doesn’t have de Sousa on board

now; my biggest concern for Palm Pilot is that Jim Crowley doesn’t stay on the inside rail in the straight from stall 1, as wide

runners have done better here lately.

If anyone has any questions they would like to ask Hugh about this column or any racing issue for the Form Factor programme on

Wednesdays, we have an email address to enable them to do so — it is formfactor@attheraces.com and the emails will go directly

to Hugh. Thanks to those who have already submitted questions.

WFA throws confusion into the ratings.       
       
Mullitovermaurice and Mystic Touch are the only 2 course and distance winners in the field        
       
Mekong Miss has won at the course.

Too hard, for me

Got as low as 1.66 for enough and as low as 1.6 for pennies.

Sheilas Star's placed efforts look good compared to the rest in this affair.      Worth a win bet at about 3.25 and should be able to trade in running.         


Backed down to 15/8 favourite and got home by a short head.

1st 13-1

Chaz if you look in

Jamie's had 2295 points after the charlie hall & he still has that ammount on your accumulative scores after Cheltenham, not sure if you have added his score to jumps points only I never delved that far !

Hello ladies & gents...

i'd like to draw your attention to a couple of posts I made on the pub thread today (one @ 12.01 & the other in the last 10 minutes or so). For those interested.

Good luck.
