Surely Mac. He’s been a great horse to follow, and I hope we hear they’ve called it a day soon. Hope he has a long retirement.

Tames Lions ..... Fair reflection on the season so far.

Narrow margins are always part of this game,part of the fascination.

Not competing is another matter,something we all go through at various times in a season.

Confidence plays a huge part in the Psyche.

Right now thats lower than a snakes belly ..... not for the first time on here,over a number of seasons.

Time to roll up the sleeves and get digging,trench mentality.

Some cracking racing on the Horizon,hopefully it will take place.

Safety for everyone involved should remain paramount,racing has made the headlines for all the wrong reasons in recent weeks,that needs to change pronto,I have my doubts.

Big shout out to everyone who contributes,as always,best of luck in the coming weeks.

Afternoon .... Not off for another fortnight are we

Aye,at the prices we generally play at,the whole season can hinge on just a few results.

Few placed at decent odds,but you know that feeling,when races do not quite pan out as expected.

Be nice to get some early decs,few I,d like an opinion on if they make it,always competitive this time of year.

Seen that Nicholls feature on the RP site,looking back at Kauto/Tank etc .... He reckons Big Bucks was the most talented of that crop,that surprised me.

I know Sint is a big fan of Bravemansgame,I get the impression his trainer really rates him,always take note when this yard start making the right noises.

Onwards.

Looks a great race between BMG and Ahoy Senor! Hard to split them!

Future Novice Hurdle - Mighty Potter 1.5pt ew 7/2, bfsb/pp.

Morning Sint .... Does look an interesting race,Nicholls other one has started ok over fences.

On a line through Pay The Piper,not surprised BMG jolly,plenty of guesswork with these novices.

AS looks a bit of a tearaway,can they settle him early doors,Kempton can be tricky.

Whichever way,great to see the North represented with a cracking young horse.
