    Awful. Literally awful from me.

    The racing, however, was outstanding. Bryan Cooper keeping on Roads Revenge to then win it was unbelievable

    The horse was literally side on over the fence. Fantastic ride.

    Difficult to get away from North Hill Harvey and Mick Jazz in the County Hurdle. (2:10)
    Not overpriced by any means, but they both have solid claims and Skybet go 6 places.

    Three seconds today, 9-2, 33-1 and 14-1 all beaten by Mullins and Walsh.
    Hoping Henderson gets a couple tomorrow and claims top trainer title

    Have a nasty feeling Giggingstown are going to win the GC with Outlander. Might have to soften the blow by backing him.

    Outlander is probably the value at this stage AA, certainly nothing left in the top 3 in the betting.
    I'm hoping my tenner at 33s on Native River won't over burden him, but if he doesn't shine either Djakadam or Cue Card would be a story worthy of the great race.

    Backed it at that price with Bet365 before it won the Hennessy.
    A speculative punt which at least has a chance of paying out, unlike most of my ante-post vouchers.
    Was fairly confident up until last week, but the Tizzard stable have gone right off the boil, which is a concern.

    Very impressive performance from Defi Du Seuil, could be a Champion hurdle contender next year.

    I did Ex Patriot too, great run but I wonder if he would have finished closer if he hadn't have bolted before the start !
