I've gone early this week with Rosewood Lad ew.

the line between brave and stupid is very fine ( icannot even see it with my eyesight!). Stan Moore has his string in top form and has proven this last week that absence is no bar to winning - unfortunately this one didn't. But at least the points are not wasted.

I knew a guy a few years ago who won a 2 year old in a compy at Newbury and it was trained by Stan Moore. The horse was sired by Cadeaux Genereux and unsurprisingly loved the soft - nearly winning at 66/1 in a Newmarket maiden or some such. BUT would Stan Moore run it on soft again... only once (it won). My pal was of the opinion that Stan More was a complete plonker and knew nothing. Maybe he has employed someone who can help him out... dunno, just know hes had a couple race back from long lay offs run above or at least to theirr form. GL.

9-2 - what happened to me 10-1

Beggars can't be choosers though, so I'm happy just to have a found a winner (for a change). Hopefully it's given us a half-a-chance of getting through.

well done, George

Excellent pick

Nice one George and good place points too BB

GL shane

Not to worry, Shane, you called it right between the main 2 in the market, just unlucky to run into another that Evans has possibly improved on the second start for him.

I remember watching Better Self getting turned over at shortish odds in a claimer for Ann Duffield and thinking they'll do well to win a race with her. But a bit of Welsh air and different tactics today (less use made of her early on), and in she goes.

Believe me, shane, I am the worst judge on the team. I think i've picked about five winners all year! Seriously. But it seems everyone on the team is prepared to let me get away with such rubbish performance...... so maybe i'm not the worst judge after all.

I've been in poor form all year too, I suspect my record is worse than bettys

anyway, FCH, a very loose continuim here, but speaking of records I have actually performed "live" on BBC Radio 2 - or was it 1? - SOLO!!. Well it was a live performance, recorded and replayed on a Saturday morning. I leave you all in mystery .... it never led to any repeat offers..

Does the selection stand?

I guess the question should be: If it had won, will it have stood?

That's for undecided to answer.

Fwiw, my own view would be, in fairness and being good sports, it should stand.

Gone for figaro flyer S2.40. This horse can easily win this race if its allowed to put its best foot forward. - g/l all

I didn`t post the selection for ud, gormless or what. Good job it didn`t win.
I get another go today, will post later ( on both threads )

Just noticed no 3:00 race on here, guess it was called off.
Somehow i`ll make a selection this week if it kills me.

Viking Blond 1:50 5pts e/w

Good call, Shane. I thought he was going to hold them all at bay at one point, but a 14-1 3rd is a good result. Well done.

Good luck fundy, thanks for info as i can get tied up at work.

Nice place points Shane.  I am going for Time For Rupert at Cheltenham.  Could be watching the Sun Alliance winner here......oh I've picked him, so probably not.

Good luck Pins

Morning, chaps. I see we have a 30-point lead over the Newbies who have all 8 selections to play, and an 87-point lead over the Thieves who have 7 left to play.
Think we could be up against with the Newbies in particular for the probable one remaining place.

Good luck to Fundy, FCH & book.

wd FCH

have pinned Highland Valley in the last at chelt, just hope it goes as well on good ground.

anyone got a wildcard in mind, think its fair to assume we will need one
