Sorry chaps, that was woeful.

Not sure what to make of Atlantic Tiger, looked as if he was going to be well beaten, but kept on not to be beaten that far in fifth.

Whatever, it's not good enough and it's back to the drawing board for me!

Gone for Laaheb today at Ascot, guys

That Mafki was disapointing yesterday. Hannon must be kicking himself as Canford Cliffs would have won that race. Pretty poor QE2, I think.

As the month ends on Thursday, do we have to give our final selection for September by then, or is it still classed as a normal week and selections can be given on Saturday?

Cheers, bettysboy - just thought I'd better check.

I did contemplate putting up History Repeating at decent odds in the 2.30 at Bath. It was just a seller she won at Yarmouth, but did well to win it after missing the break. She looks to have a bit of size about her and is by Singspiel, so improvement isn't out of the question as she develops.

I've had a little on at 80s, just in case! Though perhaps a bit too speculative to make it a selection.

good to see your normal service resumed Ra, wd mate

Well done again Ra. Gone for Lakeman who has his ground and on a decent mark , pity he is not 25`s like last year when winning in similar conditions at Musselburgh.

bettysboy = Am i right in thinking i start next week? if ok with you.

Thanks bettys, so one selection per week, no excuse for at least placing if not winning then.
From your above post i take it i may only be temporary ?

Best of luck to all players, i`ll try for a few winners

gone with Space Station in the 535 at Epsom.

good luck all pins playing today, will try and stick my head in later to make sure we have a full hand (tho we now should)

bettysboy - i think i now understand your earlier post, i can post for this week which finishes
today as a wildcard, but next week and beyond i`ll be a permanent member of the team ?
Sorry if i sound a little slow.

shane

thats indeed what he meant, you'll get used to betty [;)]

Thanks FCH. I`ll post a wild card today.

Welcome Shane, good luck with Together.

I've gone with State Opera (EW) in the other Sales race. Which may not be the cleverest thing to have done if a high draw turns out to be a negative.
I was quite taken with him when he won at Hamilton, and given he's a Shamardal / Unfuwain cross who is already proven on soft, that's where my pin has landed.

Good luck with your picks today.

Cheers Shane, though tbh, given the price has collaped; queries over the draw; he's up against it on the figures; and there are 'could-be-anything' horses like Fury (who too was impressive on debut) and Cobbs Quay (who should handle the ground well) up against him; it's probably a shocking selction!

But it's the best I could come up with! I do have a couple of 'guessy' selections - but I've gone with the potential.

ul Shane

Hardlines Shane - I think the man with the stun gun got her

Just realised I forgot to post my selection on the Naps comp as well - DOH!

apologies - ihave pinned Nationalism and forgot to let you all know. GL team.

how does that get beat?
