It's that time of year. The nights are drawing in. The days are drawing out(?) Etceteraaaaa....
It's back due to popular public demand (and me ma said I'd better get on with it so as not to get under her and the lodger's feet). Following on from the ultra-successful Throw Enough Darts Thread from the summer (50-odd points profit) here it is:
Raspberry's Winter All-Weather Rollercoaster !!!
The wheels have been oiled, the runners have been greased and the rails have been tweaked and re-tweaked !
Every day from now until the end of February, we will be attempting to find some decent-priced goers on the sandy stuff.
Kempers, Wolvers and Lingers a speciality (not too keen on Suvvall, I must admit!)
Wagons roll tomorrow, 1st December !
Don't miss out ! All aboard with Rasp !
Selections will be up the night before or early-ish morn (after me paper round !).

Notice how all your 'pals' desert you when you can't find a winner?
No messages of moral support when you need 'em most.
As the old saying goes, the way your luck is at the moment if you were plunged head first in to a barrel full of tits you'd come up sucking your thumb.
Personally, I think you need to be throwing a few more darts at the target - one a day ain't the way.
It never works for me ()but it did for you last year.
Good luck.

I see it is drawn 1.......and the COURSE info indicates HIGH drawn is "best" ( last year winner was drawn 10 etc )
Also generally the trainer is NH trainer.......taking on some experienced AW trainers...
As it is youngest in field it is relatively unexposed, but the above position might be against it today.
GL with selection ( Don't really like shape of race....so no "strong" fancies in race !!!!)
"Interesting" selection RB.I see it is drawn 1.......and the COURSE info indicates HIGH drawn is "best" ( last year winner was drawn 10 etc )Also generally the trainer is NH trainer.......taking on some experienced AW trainers...As it is youngest in
