Ground at Ayr now on the quick side. First 2m chase 6 seconds fast of standard. Consequently have supplemented my team with Silsol at 25s. Only chase runs on soft or heavy to date, where jumping has come unstuck at times. When it hasn't, has shown plenty of stamina by creditable 5th and 4th in Welsh and Midlands Nationals with plenty of weight in both. Lower mark and 10.13 today (puts him effectively level with Regal Flow at the weights) but quicker ground could see him at his best - defeated Native River at levels on quick ground over 3m hurdles last season. A worry that without Bryony on board his jumping may let him down in the hurly burly that typifies a Scottish GN - pros and cons about jumping on better ground - but if he handles them OK he could well be there or thereabouts.
Blimey - that was a seriously hot pace set by Gold Present and Vintage Clouds - 1.5secs fast of standard 33/1 winner Joe Farrell by a nose Ballyoptic Vintage Clouds Doing Fine Vicente Label Des Obeaux
Regal Flow 10th Total blank for me and afraid to say The Young Master didn't get past the first. TTFN - have a great summer folks.
1-0 win over Portsmouth on day of the Scottish National 1998 - promoted at Wembley. 1-0 win over Portsmouth on day of the Scottish National 2018 - ??????? Screw my cruddy tips. It's a deja vu all over again COYR
anyone on here heading to sandown next Saturday or fancy as i have 2 tickets going to bomb it off to go the charlton game, paid £50 for the pair of tickets, happy to let someone have them for nothing, chuck a score to the upbeats would suffice.
if they let me know by Wednesday happy to post them out
Anyone got any tips for sandown park this Saturday???
Tips no. But, if it runs I will be "all in" on The Young Master following its first fence departure on Saturday!
Good luck AA and scruffle. He certainly loves this race. Persuaded to have one last fling before packing the bucket and spade. At the price (40/1) I shall have a bob or two e/w on RELENTLESS DREAMER (aren't we all on CL?) Level at the weights on paper with 7/1 Missed Approach (based on Edinburgh National). MA had immediate wind op (and then of course won the Kim Muir) but IMHO RD should be relatively better off at a trip on Saturday's better ground. Stable seemingly in better form. Good luck all.

Wondered why got 7/2 had a look had done the wrong horse had to cash out and do the right one.
Got on at 11/4
But lost the first 2 races, so breaking even.

skybet current offer of douvan/getabird double at 4/1 i think that has a v good chance of landing. although my max stake was £19 on it.
Race been won by the same trainer the last two years.
